The stable version of Android 15 has been released on October 15, 2024. Although Google has taken a number of measures in recent years to improve the fragmentation of the Android operating system and enhance the upgrade speed of operating systems of various brands. According to Google’s latest announcement of the latest proportion of historical versions of the Android operating system, Android 15 only accounts for 4.5%, which is far behind the result (13%) one year after the launch of Android 14.
What is the proportion of the latest historical version of the Android operating system? Why is the upgrade speed of Android 15 slower than that of the previous generation version? The following is an explanation and analysis:
1.What is the proportion of the latest historical versions of the Android operating system?
according to9to5googleTaken from the latest statistics released by Google Android Studio on 2025/4/1, Android 15 accounts for 4.5%, and Android 14 is currently the version with the highest proportion at 27.4%, followed by Android 13 at 16.8%, Android 11 at 15.9%, Android 12 at 12.8%, and Android 10 at 10.2%.
Compared with Android 14, which accounted for 13% after 7 months of release, Android 15 accounted for only 4.5% after 6 months of release. The upgrade speed of Android 15 is significantly behind Android 14 and Android 13.
Android 14’s share reached 27.4%, a significant increase of 14.4% from last May, which is better than Android 13’s 20.9% in the same period. It performed well!
2. Why is the upgrade speed of Android 15 slow?
Google did not explain the reason for the slow upgrade speed of Android 15. The moderator believes that it is related to Samsung not having upgraded yet!
Since the date announced by Google this time is 2025/4/1, the official release time of Android giant Samsung’s One UI 7 (based on the Android 15 version) has been postponed to mid-to-late April (it was originally scheduled for 4/7 but was delayed by 2 to 3 weeks due to bugs before the stable version was released, and it was released on 4/24 in Taiwan). Therefore, the proportion of upgrades to Android 15 is lagging behind.
On the other hand, Google has raised the minimum memory hardware standard to a minimum of 32GB ROM and 3GB RAM for Android 15 to pass GMS certification, which will more or less affect the proportion of Android 15 upgrades.
