According to the report, Android 6.0 Marshmallow continues to be running on most number of devices at 23.5%. Nougat is catching up at 21.2% for Nougat 7.0 and 9.6% for Nougat 7.1 which means Nougat is running on around 30.8% and has the highest share.

The latest version of Android – Oreo 8.0 has 10.1% share and version 8.1 has a 2% share as opposed to 4.9% for 8.0 and 0.8% for 8.1 in the last report.

The shares of Android Marshmallow and Nougat are going down as the percentage of Marshmallow users dropped about 2% and Nougat dropped around 0.3%.

The most important thing to note is that the shares of Android Oreo has doubled from 5.7% to 12.1% which means that adoption rates are going up as well as people are buying devices with the latest version of Android.

The older versions of Android – Jellybean and Lollipop are also experiencing a drop of shares at 1.3% and 1.6% respectively.

Even though Google is nowhere close to reaching the adoption rates that Apple likes to flaunt, the new Android Distribution Chart shows a positive step towards quicker adoption of the latest version of Android around the world, with the release of Android P right around the corner.
