Android fragmentation data June 2015

According to the latest Android fragmentation numbers provided by Google, Lollipop is now installed on 12.4% of all devices tracked by the company. Google collected this data from all Android devices accessing the Google Play app during a 7-day period ending on June 1, 2015. This is the first time when Lollipop passes the 10% mark.

Android 5.1, the latest version of Google's mobile operating system is installed on just 0.8% of all Android devices. With only a few exceptions, Nexus devices are the only ones currently rocking Android 5.1 Lollipop, although that's set to change over the course of the next couple of months. The 5.0 version of Lollipop, on the other hand, is much more popular, with a share of 11.6%.

Although its share has dropped over the past couple of months as more devices get updated to Lollipop, Android 4.4 KitKat remains the most popular Android version, with a 39.2% share of the Android pie. JellyBean, which is the name given to Android versions 4.1, 4.2, and 4.3, comes in second, with a share of 37.4%.
