Android 8.0 has been a low burn since its release last fall. It's been gaining a tenth of a percent here and there on the distribution charts, and Android 8.1 just appeared last month. This month, there's a slightly larger bump that finally pushed the latest and greatest Android up over 1%.
As usual, here are all the numbers compared to last month.
Android version stats, February 2018
| Android version | Previous data (%) | Current data (%) | Change (pp) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2.3 | 0.4 | 0.3 | -0.1 |
| 4.0 | 0.5 | 0.4 | -0.1 |
| 4.1 | 1.9 | 1.7 | -0.2 |
| 4.2 | 2.9 | 2.6 | -0.3 |
| 4.3 | 0.8 | 0.7 | -0.1 |
| 4.4 | 12.8 | 12 | -0.8 |
| 5.0 | 5.7 | 5.4 | -0.3 |
| 5.1 | 19.4 | 19.2 | -0.2 |
| 6.0 | 28.6 | 28.1 | -0.5 |
| 7.0 | 21.1 | 22.3 | +1.2 |
| 7.1 | 5.2 | 6.2 | +1.0 |
| 8.0 | 0.5 | 0.8 | +0.3 |
| 8.1 | 0.2 | 0.3 | +0.1 |
The data is pretty straightforward this month—every version except for Nougat and Oreo lost a few tenths of a percent. That puts Nougat in the lead of all versions, finally beating out Marshmallow. It's 28.5% for Nougat and 28.1% for Marshmallow.
The collective 0.4% rise for Oreo versions leaves the newest platform over 1% usage for the first time. Oreo's growth has remained in lock-step with Nougat's increases last year, and February is no different. This is also when Nougat crossed the 1% barrier last year. If that holds, we can look forward to Oreo being the biggest piece of the pie in a year. We can only hope that Project Treble makes the next round of updates a bit faster.
