Android 7.0 has been released for two months and its market share is only 0.3%

Android system share

According to foreign media reports on November 8, Beijing time, statistics show that although Google's latest version of Android system, Android 7.0 (Nougat), has been released for two months, its market share is only 0.3%.

Google began rolling out Android 7.0 Nougat to Nexus devices in August, but to be fair, Google's Pixel smartphones, which are powered by Android 7.1 Nougat, have only been on the market for less than a month.

Furthermore, for Google, the latest version of Android system usually becomes the latest version more than a year later, so it seems reasonable for the "Nougat" system to gain a 0.3% share in two months.

The following is the market share changes of various versions of Android systems between October and November this year (the version release time is in brackets):

• Android 7.0/7.1 Nougat (August 2016): up 0.3 percentage points to 0.3%;
• Android 6.0 Marshmallow (October 2015): up 5.3 percentage points to 24.0%; Android 5.0/5.1 Lollipop (November 2014, March 2014): down 0.9 percentage points to 34.1%
• Android 4.4 KitKat "Chocolate" (October 2013): down 2.5 percentage points to 25.2%;
• Android 4.1/4.2/4.3 Jelly Bean (July 2012, November 2012, and July 2013): fell 1.9 percentage points to 13.7%;
• Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich (December 2011): down 0.1 percentage point to 1.3%;
• Android 2.3 Gingerbread (February 2011): down 0.2 percentage points to 1.3%;
• Android 2.2 Froyo "Frozen Yogurt" (May 2010): Remained at 0.1%.

The above platform data comes from the Google Play Store application, and the statistical scope is Android 2.2 and above devices, which means that those devices running older versions of the Android system and devices without Google Play installed will not be included in the statistical scope (such as many Android phones and tablets in the Chinese market, and Amazon's Fire product line, etc.). At the same time, since the Android 3.0 Honeycomb system has a share of less than 1%, it is not included in the official table. (Compiled by Ruoshui)
