Android version implementation statistics: what have you achieved in 8 months?

Google has put a lot of effort into making the rollout of new versions of Android as fast as possible.However

Something went wrong and the company seems to have given up on its intentions, after which in 2018 it stopped publishing regular reports on the distribution of Android versions in the global market.Since then, the only source of this data has been the statistics provided to app creators in the Android Studio development environment.The last such report was in January, at the time of which only 5% of devices received the current Android 13.

In three months, this figure grew to 12.1%, howeverthis is still less than the ancient Android 9 from 2018 (12.3%). Android 11 remains the most massive, which can be found in almost every fourth smartphone (23.5%), followed by Android 10 (18.5%) and Android 12 (16.5%). In general, the situation with the fragmentation of the Android market remains depressing compared to Apple's iOS, even despite all the efforts in terms of software support from Samsung and some Chinese brands.
