I’m really not sure why Google waited almost two weeks to release the numbers but here they are. For those unfamiliar, these numbers are updated at roughly the start of every month for developers to look at so they can generalize what version of Android their potential install base is running and act upon it.
As of August 12, KitKat has risen again and this time, it went up 3% to 20.9%. Jelly Bean as a whole went down 2.3% As for Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwhich, it went down by 0.8%. but some some odd reason, Android 2.3 Gingerbread actually went up by 0.1% from last month. I have no clue what led to this increase but it just may be certain markets still have consumers purchasing low-end devices that still run Gingerbread.
I also wonder if Android Wear watches were part of the distribution as they still run a special version of KitKat.
