Google's latest Android OS distribution chart shows little difference to the numbers from last month, as Gingerbread still remains the most popular version of the mobile operating system existence, powering 50% of all devices that are active in the wild. Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, which sit at 27.5% and 6.7%, respectively, are both seen as eating away at Gingerbread's dominance slowly but surely. Versions of Android from 2.2 Froyo and lower are currently holding 13.4% collectively.
What Else You Need To Know
- Google is expected to launch an even newer version of Android some time in mid-2013, by which time Android 4.0 and Android 4.1 should be the most popular versions of their OS.
