Google already has the second beta of Android 13. However most phones don’t even have Android 11. We were last able to see data on the distribution of versions on Android in November 2021. Half a year later there is new data and without too many surprises, six months later almost everything stays the same.

Even 7% of phones don’t have Android 12 and we’re already considering version 13.

We already have the latest data available in Android Studio, which shows us: fragmentation is still terrible on android. Google data shows the somewhat confusing cumulative distribution. Our colleagues at Xataka Android have parsed the data to make it clearer and more fun to read.

Android 12 is only available on 6.2% of current devices. A good part of them are those that launched this year, and the mid- or high-end exceptions of 2021 were updated not too long ago. At least the most used version is Android 11, which is found on almost 30% of devices.

It is worrying that Android 10, which is close to turning 3 years old, is the second most used version, then Android PieIt is not insignificant with a share of 16.2%. Up to Android Nougat 7.0 released in 2017, it has a similar depth to Android 12 with a 5.0% share.

It may not be necessary to release so many versions. However, they continue to spread, and the problem of fragmentation continues unabated from year to year, despite manufacturers’ promises to update their flagship phones for longer.
