KitKat Now On 1.8% Of Devices



Google has released it's latest Android distribution figures and Android 4.4 KitKat is now on 1.8% of devices, up from 1.6% in January. This is still a significantly low figure compared to iOS, where at least half of devices that support the next update are updated within a month. It takes so long for updates to get around on Android, because phone manufacturers edit them, then phone networks do the same. 

Jelly Bean is still at the top with 60.5%, Android 4.1 at 35.5%, 4.2 at 16.3% and 4.3 at 8.9%. 

Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich is on a total of 16.1%, which is falling slightly from 16.9% last month. Honeycomb in comparison is on just 0.1% of devices. 

Android Gingerbread is on 20%, falling from 21.2% in January, and lastly Android 2.2 Froyo is on 1.3%. 

Any devices with versions earlier than 2.2 are not on the data because they don't support the Google Play Store. 

What version are you running? How long does it take for you to get a promised update? Let us know in the comments below.
