Breaking it down a bit more, Android 5.0 is currently on 15.5 percent of devices, while Android 5.1 is currently enlisted on 2.6 percent. That’s up from 12.4 percent in June.
Android 4.4 KitKat still managed to pull in the highest percentage at 39.3 percent of devices, and it actually saw an increase from the 39.2 percentage it held back in June. Jelly Bean, Android 4.1 through Android 4.3, showed up on 33.6 percent of devices, which sees a considerable drop down from 37.4 percent back in June. Android 4.0.3 – 4.0.4 saw a result of 4.1 percent of devices, another drop from the last recorded period.
