One picture tells you: Which generation of Android system is stronger?

When Google released Android 1.5, it started naming it after desserts, and the size of the desserts that represented each version became larger and larger. Google released Android 5.0 Lollipop in mid-October 2014. As of early January 2015, it has been more than a month since the release of Lollipop. How is the performance now? According to Google's official data, as of early January 2015, there are almost no people using Lollipop. It has almost no market share among all Android devices, with a market share of less than 0.1%, as shown in the figure below, which is so small that it is almost invisible.

Currently, most users still use the Android Jelly Bean system, which has a total market share of 46%, of which Android 4.1 accounts for 19.2%, 4.2 accounts for 20.3%, and 4.3 accounts for 6.5%.

The second place is the previous version of "Lollipop", namely Android 4.4 KitKat (KitKat Chocolate), with a market share of 39.1%. It is worth mentioning that 4.4 successfully broke through the 1.1% share within one month after its official release.

The market shares of the remaining Android versions are: Android 2.3 Gingerbread (7.8%), Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich (6.7%), and Android 2.2/2.2.1 Froyo (0.4%).

This also shows that Android is still facing the problem of version fragmentation, with multiple versions of the Android system being used by users at the same time.

Although Google announced the developer preview version of Lollipop at the I/O Developer Conference on June 26 last year, companies such as Samsung, Motorola and LG have launched flagship models equipped with the Android 5.0 system, but the lagging system updates of other manufacturers have resulted in the "Lollipop" system being far from popular enough.
