Jelly Bean now on almost half of devices, according to latest platform numbers

Platform numbers

Android 4.1 to 4.3 now accounts for 48.6 percent of devices accessing the Google Play Store

Google has released its latest set of monthly Android platform data, showing that Jelly Bean — Android 4.1 to 4.3 — ran on almost half of devices accessing the Google Play Store in the week up to Oct. 2. Some quick points to note from the latest set of platform data compared to last month's

  • Though Jelly Bean as a whole represents some 48.6 percent of devices, most Jelly Bean devices are still running the year-old Android 4.1.
  • That said, Android 4.1's share actually fell slightly compared to last month, going from 36.6 percent of the total to 36.5.
  • Only Android 4.2 and 4.3 grew their market share, the rest remained flat or fell.
  • Froyo (2.2), Gingerbread (2.3), Ice Cream Sandwich (4.0) all lost market share, as did Android 4.1, the earliest version of Jelly Bean.
  • Honeycomb (3.x) remained unchanged at just 0.1 percent.

Android 4.3 itself is measured for the first time in this latest set of platform data, debuting at just 1.5 percent. That's not too surprising considering until recently this version was limited to Nexus and Google Play edition devices. With the launch of high-profile 4.3 phones like the Galaxy Note 3, as well as 4.3 updates for devices like the HTC One, we'd expect that number to increase in the month ahead.
