A new version for Android: Oreo arrives in a particularly fragmented landscape!

Google launched everything
recently version 8.0 of Android, the home mobile operating system.
In the series of previous versions with the names of desserts and others
sweets, the latest update takes up the name of the famous biscuit
Oreo. This Android Oreo therefore arrives on a market where old versions
4 years old are still present on certain terminals at a percentage
not negligible. In anticipation of a new version of iOS, Oreo will have a lot to
do to impose itself, between a Marsmallow version from 2015 reigning as mistress
and an even older Lollipop version, but still very
used:

As with iOS, each new version penetrates the market rather well,

87% for iOS 9 on the eve of the launch of iOS 10
, as with Android,
compatible smartphones are shared around 30% each version
released for 2 years.

Android Marshmallow, dating from 2015 for example, reached the start of the month
of August, according to data from the Android Developers Dashboard, a rate of 32.2%
penetration. Lollipop (2014) is just behind with a rate of 29.2%. Kitkat,
this version of Android released in 2013 is around 15% rate of
penetration. The rest is divided between other more or less old versions,
dont Nougat (2016) et Jelly Bean (2012).

In comparison, at Apple, the last official measurement dating from the 28
July reported iOS 10 penetration rate at 87%, with 10%
remaining for iOS 9 and 3% for older versions.

Several reasons obviously explain this fragmentation for
different versions of Android. First of all, there are many manufacturers
different ones that take advantage of Android, sometimes with smartphones of entry of
range more capable of running old versions of Android than the whole
last more delicious version.

On the other hand, different operators and smartphone manufacturers add
overlays and can also limit the duration of eligibility of a device
to Android updates. It is then necessary to go through manipulations not
necessarily easy to force the installation of a more recent version
of Android on his smartphone.

Apple, on the other hand, has a unified update system on its
devices, with a procedure that is generally more transparent and more
simple to make for ordinary people.

See you in a few weeks, for the arrival of the new
version 11 d’iOS.
