Google updated the Android version data on the 3rd. The adoption rate of Android 4.4 KitKat, which was released a year ago, rose from 24.5% in October to 30.2%, surpassing Android 4.1 to become the Android version with the most users.

However, the adoption rate of the entire Jelly Bean family (Android 4.1 to 4.3) is still over 50%, and the highest adoption rate is actually for the earliest released Android 4.1, which was released by Google two years ago.

This statistic does not include the latest Android 5.0 Lollipop devices. Google announced the official version of Android 5.0 on November 3, which was launched with Nexus 6 and Nexus 9 devices. Subsequently, the source code of Android 5.0 was provided to developers for download.

In comparison, iOS upgrades at a significantly faster pace. According to data released on Apple's official developer website on October 27, the adoption rate of iOS8 has exceeded half, reaching 52%. The adoption rate of iOS7 released last year was 43%, and earlier versions accounted for only 5%.

However, according to the progress of various OEM manufacturers this year, the adoption rate of Android 5.0 may grow faster than any previous version. HTC announced that it will upgrade all One series smartphones to Lollipop within 90 days, Motorola's Moto X and Moto G and the new Droid series will be upgraded before the end of the year, and Sony's Z2 and Z3 series will be upgraded at the beginning of next year. Samsung has no detailed timetable, but has launched the largest upgrade plan, and all models from Galaxy S3 onwards can be upgraded.
