Newer Android OS' have seen a jump in adoption between December 2016 and January 2017 with Android Nougat now up to 0.7%.

The Nougat OS had previously achieved a 0.4% adoption rate in December 2016. This marks a 0.3% increase, the largest it has seen since launching in September 2016.

Android Marshmallow 6.0 has also grown to 29.6%, an increase of 3.3% month-on-month. The current leader, Lollipop 5.0 and 5.1, saw adoption rates drop by 0.4%.

Dropping off

Android Froyo 2.2 is no longer tracked as its adoption rate has dropped below 0.1%. The report also does not track any device without Google Play installed, such as Amazon Fire tablets and devices in China.

Android Nougat adoption rates are notably slow because there are currently so few devices that support it. Motorola was the most recent manufacturer to add the OS to some of its devices in November 2016.
