The latest Android distribution numbers for the month are in, and it looks like Lollipop has taken a massive jump thanks to the release of some high profile devices running 5.0 right out of the box. Android 5.0 captured 9% of the market share, although Android 5.1 only snagged 0.7%, a side effect of how many phones shipped with older software over the past month.
KitKat and Jelly Bean are still pretty dominant, with 4.4 making up 39.8% of Android devices and the multitude of Jelly Bean versions capturing a similar 39.2%. These numbers are down only a few percentage points from last month.
Ice Cream Sandwich accounted for just a little over 5% of devices, getting beaten out by Gingerbread’s 5.7% of the market. Apparently, there are still quite a few people refusing to give up their Gingerbread devices.
On the bright side, at least Froyo is almost gone.
