More than three months from its release, Android Oreo is now on 1.1% of devices

The biggest news is Oreo’s install numbers, which are up .4% from last month’s numbers. This is due to the fact that Honor, Huawei, Motorola, HMD Global, and plenty of other manufacturers have updated their devices to Android 8.0 Oreo in January alone. These numbers will likely see a big jump next month when Essential, Samsung, and other OEMs begin rolling out the update to their phones.

According to the latest Android distribution numbers, Android Marshmallow which was released back in 2015 is at the top spot with its share of 29.7%. However, Marshmallow has seen a drop in its share from last month when it had a total share of 30.9%.

Having said that, Android Nougat, which was released last year, has seen a growth of 2.7% from last month. Besides, Android 8.0 Oreo, which was released this August, has also grown by 0.2% from last month. The Android 8.1 Oreo which was released this month hasn’t been included in this distribution chart, because of course, it’s too early to include it, and, only those versions that have a share of more than 0.1% are included in this chart.

So for this month, Android Marshmallow tops the chart with its share of 29.7% which is followed by Lollipop with 26.3%, Nougat with 23.3%, Kitkat with 13.4%, JellyBean with 5.9%, Ice Cream Sandwich and Oreo with 0.5%, and, lastly, Gingerbread with 0.4%.

We expect Android Nougat and Oreo’s share to increase in the coming days as we expect more and more entry-level and budget smartphones to launch with Android Nougat, and, the flagships and mid-range smartphones to receive their Android Oreo update soon.
