Criticism of the segmentation of the Android operating system has been heard everywhere since the Google platform has been expanding its horizons. But judging from the latest reports that have come to light, there is no doubt that most Android users are already running version 2.1, also known as Eclair, or higher. This means that some compatible mobile phone owners are already using the new Froyo version, which is numbered for version 2.2. The results are not very positive, but it is clear that the progress is favorable for Google.
In recent times we have seen how some devices had not yet been updated with version 2.1 or Eclair. In fact, it has not been until this weekend when the Sony Ericsson terminals of the Xperia series have not begun to receive the update to Android 2.1, a version that has already been left behind after Android 2.2 was known and being aware of the imminent arrival of Android 2.3 Gingerbread. But you have to be patient. According to the latest statistical data, 77% of Android devices already work with version 2.1 Eclair or higher.
If we break down the data, we will see that 40.8% of phones use Android 2.1, while 36.2% already use Android 2.2, the latest and newest version before Android 2.3 Gingerbread arrives. Despite the fact that most mobile phones are already up to date, the graph reveals that 22.9% are still working with old or obsolete versions of Android. Specifically, we refer to Android 1.5 and 1.6, the latter being minority options that are lagging behind in current surveys. Good news for Google.
