6/2013: Gingerbread still leading, increasingly popular Jelly Bean

Google has recently updated statistics on the distribution of the current version of Android. Accordingly, although the eye is 1 year from the Google I / O 2012 Android 4.1 Jelly Bean but still can not beat the popularity of Android 2.3.x on mobile devices. Specifically, Google says 38.5% currently have smartphones are using Android Gingerbread (from version 2.3 to 2.3.7), and a total of 33% of smartphone / tablet running the Android Jelly Bean (Android 4.1.x to include 4.2.x).

However, this does not mean that the users still prefer the older operating system, according to statistics by month, Gingerbread is present on 40% of Android smartphones, and until now it has been reduced by 2%, and more likely it will continue to decline as mobile devices to high-end Android are preloaded Android 4.0 or Android 4.1.x to 4.2.x when debuting today. In contrast to the decline of Gingerbread, Jelly Bean increasingly more popular as it increasingly appears more on Android devices, OEMs and carriers began updating the smartphone / tablet up his Jelly Bean to catch up with the trend.

Referring to the other versions: appliances ratio Android 1.6 (Donut), 2.1 (Eclair) or 2.2 (Froyo) and will probably not decline soon, these outdated operating system will gradually dropped to below 0.1% and gradually approaching 0%. For most of the Android Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0), this is the decline witnessed by the machine quite often used ICS to Jelly Bean upgrade with many new features better, especially the smooth Project comes from Butter.

Finally, Honeycomb, which is Android OS dedicated to tablets, however, like ICS, there are many tablet running Honeycomb or ICS are to Jelly Bean, and the number of Honeycomb tablet users will not be too much, so will do not be too surprised if we do not see the Android 3.2 appeared on any Android tablet in the future.
