Android 4.0 now found on more than a quarter of devices

Blair McClelland November 2, 2012 Android, Mobile

The latest Android distribution charts have been revealed, informing us all that Android 4.1 Jelly Bean is continuing its slow infection of devices and that Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich now finds itself on more than a quarter of Android devices.

Android 4.1 is now on 2.7% of devices, up from 1.8% last month. While Ice Cream Sandwich, which was announced now over 12 months ago has reached 25.8% of devices accessing the Google Play Store. Android 2.3 Gingerbread remains the slow shrinking yet dominant player with 54.2% of devices, down from 55.8% last month. Older versions such as Froyo also lost operating system share slightly.

From here on we'll see Jelly Bean jump further as more updates for popular phones such as Samsung's Galaxy S III and HTC's One X start to roll out.

KitGuru says: These statistics are slow to significantly change, but any change is good change.

KitGuru Games: The Best Console is the One in Your Pocket

Emulation is the saving grace of the video games industry. Despite its controversial nature, the technology will be the only way in which all games are preserved for the future – free from licensing agreements and other such nonsense. Better still is the fact that in a majority of cases, emulation allows for a more accurate recreation of the game’s original experience than official offerings, due to countless complex shaders, filters and tweakable settings. And the best part? Thanks to the progression of technology, your humble smartphone is able to do all this and more – giving you the power of 10,000 games in the palm of your hand.
