Google's data collected in the first few days of this month show that Nougat's market share is nearing the 3 percent barrier, while Lollipop and Marshmallow continue to dominate.
This month's Android distribution numbers hold no big surprises, although now we finally see Nougat taking off and increasing its market share by around 250 percent in just a month. However, the leaders of the market remain Lollipop and Marshmallow, with KitKat still in control of a big slice, as clearly shown by the official pie chart.
Android Gingerbread and Ice Cream Sandwich refuse to go for now, both being stuck at 1 percent for another month. These are all the numbers:
Google collected the data above during the seven-day period that ended on March 6, taking into account all the devices that visited the Google Play Store in those days. The most popular screen size/density combination remains normal/hdpi (240 dpi), with 36.1 percent, while OpenGL ES 3.0 gets to keep its crown as well, with 42.3 percent.
Codrut Nistor - Senior Tech Writer - 6209 articles published on Notebookcheck since 2013
In my early school days, I hated writing and having to make up stories. A decade later, I started to enjoy it. Since then, I published a few offline articles and then I moved to the online space, where I contributed to major websites that are still present online as of 2021 such as Softpedia, Brothersoft, Download3000, but I also wrote for multiple blogs that have disappeared over the years. I've been riding with the Notebookcheck crew since 2013 and I am not planning to leave it anytime soon. In love with good mechanical keyboards, vinyl and tape sound, but also smartphones, streaming services, and digital art.
