New Android distribution numbers are in, and Android 15 is not exactly shining bright, it failed to gain traction. Considering how rarely Google releases such information, this is the first time we’re seeing Android 15 on the list at all, as it debuted in September.
Android 15 distribution is not great, it is running on only 4.5% of devices
As you’ll see in the pie chart below, Android 15 is running on only 4.5% of devices. Do note that these numbers are from April 1, so One UI 7 had not yet been pushed to devices. That percentage would possibly be a bit different if it was. It is at this point, though, to a number of Samsung’s Galaxy phones.
In any case, Android 15 trails behind a number of other versions, including Android 9 Pie, Android 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14. In fact, Android 14 is running on the majority of devices, and it’s not even close. It’s currently installed on 27.4% of Android phones.
It is followed by Android 13 with 16.8% of device installs, Android 12 with 12.8%, Android 11 with 15.9%, Android 10 with 10.2%, and Android 9 Pie with 5.8% installs. All of those versions are above Android 15.
Android 8.0 and versions below it do not cross the 3% mark
You’ll notice that Android 8.0 and 8.1 Oreo are also on the list, as are Android 7.0 and 7.1 Nougat, Android 6 Marshmallow, Android 5.0 and 5.1 Lollipop, and Android 4.4 KitKat. All of them are installed at 3% or less devices. Android 5 Lollipop and Android 4.4 KitKat are installed on only 0.1% of devices at this point.
Do note that Android 16 is expected to arrive in early June to Pixel devices. Chances are, we’ll see it on the list the next time Google shares Android distribution numbers with the world. The company is doing it only once or twice a year at this point. It was a monthly affair before.
