I’ve started writing for 16 years Phonearina And I still remember wrote on the latest Android distribution issues that have been published every month. Ah, these are the days when the names of the Android desserts were cool like Froyo (Android 2.2), Eclair (Android 2.0) and in cooperation with Nestlé, Kitkat (Android 4.4). The big problem at that time was the fragmentation of Android which is something that continues to haunt the operating system to date.
Because there are so many different manufacturers from Android phones, each with its own update calendar, this fragmentation means that the latest version of Android is not found on a large percentage of Android phones at any time. After a while, Google has stopped publishing monthly distribution tables Before it started on a quarterly version calendar in 2023. The most recent distribution numbers were published at the beginning of the current month and did not include any Samsung models in progress Android 15.
While Samsung published beta versions of A UI 7 that contained Android 15from April 1 Android 15 was found on only 4.5% of Android phones. This figure includes a stable Android 15 The versions operating on pixel handsets compatible since last October, some OnePlus, and nothing combined. As of April 1, the majority of Android handsets, 27.4% of them, were fed by Android 14 which was published in October 2023.
Android distribution numbers are now published once or twice a year via Android Studio and continues to be based on Android OS versions that connect to the Play Store in the previous seven days.
Here are the latest distribution issues published by Google. You can also consult the pie graph according to the latest numbers below:
- Android 15.0 (V) -4.5%
- Android 14.0 (u) -27.4%
- Android 13.0

If Android was not fragmented, the most recent version, Android 15would be on a higher percentage of phones instead of only 4.5% of them. In June, Google will probably publish the stable version of Android 16 for compatible models, including Pixel 6 and more units.
