Last month Google revealed that Android 6.0 Marshmallow was on 2,3% of all Android devices that at some point of the month enter the Google Play Store. A Marshmallow version that has considerably improved performance and battery life for many terminals, such as demonstrated with the Xperia Z5 two weeks ago.
Now, Google brings us another report that indicates that the Android Marshmallow distribution figures have doubled compared to the previous month. It is precisely 4,6% of all devices that already have this new version of Android that began to reach the first non-Nexus terminals at the beginning of the year, at least in the most well-known manufacturers.
Samsung, Sony and many others are the culprits that this figure has doubled to the 4,6% and scratch the rest of the versions a bit of quota in that very fragmented distribution.
Of all the other versions of Android you will find some figures that are being reduced like Android Lollipop, which is now 35,8 percent from 36,1%. KitKat has gone up to 33,4% of the devices from what was 34,3 percent, and Jelly Bean reaches 21,3% of the terminals from a percentage of 22,3%.
This report by Google follows including old versions that it would almost be necessary to make them a monument for their resistance. Android Ice Cream Sandwich, released in 2011, reaches 2,2 percent of devices, while Android Gingerbread, released in 2010, is now at 2,6% of devices. That this older version is in a greater part of devices than Ice Cream Sandwich remains a mystery.
While we're already waiting for summer to come to get, at least the ones with a Nexus, the new Android N update, as the months go by, Marshmallow will be done with a greater space or quota in that Android distribution.
