Good news for users of Android. After May 2018 report, the new usage data offered Google indicate that Oreo is already growing at a higher rate than nougat in his day.
July 2018 Android Usage Data: Oreo Grows Better Than Nougat
After another two months without publishing any data reports - lately Google space more more detail the percentages of use of Android - finally we have news about how the fragmentation of Android is growing and evolving. And, although we could be pessimistic and say that it is not enough, the truth is that it is good news. Android Oreo grows at a faster rate than Android Nougat in its day, and its percentage of use is double what it had in May 2018.
Thus, if two months ago we were talking about 5% use, now we went up to 12%. At the same time last year Android Nougat reached 11%. This means that, after months of growing at an identical or lower rate, Oreo has gained more momentum than its previous version. It is present in more devices and it is more quickly. Even if technically it is not considered a good data due to the eternal fragmentation The operating system, put in context, deserves some celebration.
If we look at all the versions, the only ones that have uploaded They are Android 7.1 Nougat and Android Oreo in both 8.0 and 8.1; while the rest have reduced their percentage of use. Android 2.3 Gingerbread is the least used version with a 0% market share, something that suggests an early death.
Regarding the top versions usedAndroid Nougat accounts for 30% of the market, divided into 8% for version 21 and 2% for version 7.0. In second position is Android 9 Marshmallow with 6% of the market, while in third position we have Android Lollipop, with 7.1% of the market. They are followed by Android Oreo with the aforementioned 6.0%.
Android usage reports history
Next we leave you with the history of reports of use of Android, in case you want to check how the percentage of use has evolved with each new publication of Google:

Android continues in its line, it updates the operating system for the worse every year, instead of simplifying it and making it more universal for all types of mobiles, they complicate it so that mobiles with more than two or three years hardly work well.
It seems embarrassing to me, but hey, one day people will get tired as there are other better systems.
