Google: Android Lollipop is now installed on 23.5% of active devices
Since last month, Android Lollipop - the name given to the 5.0 and 5.1 versions of Google's mobile OS - rose slightly to 23.5% from 21% in terms of user adoption. All of the older Android versions dropped in popularity as devices got updated or owners upgraded to newer products. Considering that the original Lollipop version launched last year, these stats are a perfect example of Google's struggle to maintain a level playing field among Android devices.
Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich is now installed on 3.4% of active Android devices while Gingerbread (Android 2.3) runs on 3.8% of devices. Android 2.2 FroYo, an Android version that Google launched all the way back in May 2010, refuses to die and maintained its 0.2 percentage points in the popularity charts.
