Android 14 Maintains 27.4% Share, Android 15 Reaches 4.5% in New Google Distribution Report

Google just released the latest figures for Android distribution. The last update witnessed was from nearly a year ago. This time around, Android 15 made its debut in the stats for the first time.

Starting April 1, Android 15 was found on 4.5% of all devices. The latest version was shared to AOSP at the start of September, so it was a long time coming. The launch should entail stable releases from Pixel, Nothing, and OnePlus. During this time, Samsung happened to be beta testing its One UI7, but just launched it in the past few weeks.

Android 15 lags behind versions like Android 14 (27.4%), Android 13 (16.8%), and Android 12 (12.8%). Even older versions, such as Android 10 (10.2%) and Android 11 (15.9%), are more widely adopted, emphasizing Android 15's slow adoption.  Older versions, including Android 8.0 and even Android 5.0 and 4.4 KitKat, are still present on fewer than 3% of devices. Meanwhile, One UI 7, which was in beta during the rollout, has just started appearing on Samsung devices, which could slightly impact Android 15’s share.

We are expecting the launch of Android 16 to come as early as in the next two months, June to be exact, but this would be for Pixel devices only. At this moment in time, Google shares the latest distribution stats nearly once or twice a year through the Android Studio. It all depends on the exact figure for devices that link to the Play Store during the week.
