The most popular Android version right now isn’t even Android 11
August 20, 2025
Google hasn’t updated itsAndroid version distribution dashboardfor a while now, forcing users to open Android Studio to find the latest breakdown of the most popular Android versions.
9to5Googlehas indeed done just that and revealed the most recent breakdown. And it turns out that Android 10 is the most popular version, accounting for 26.5% of all devices that accessed the Play Store during a seven-day period.
Meanwhile, Android 11 was just a hair behind, accounting for 24.2% of devices. Interestingly enough,Android 12didn’t make an appearance at all. The latest version of Android was only released on October 4, but9to5Googlealso suggests that this data is at least three weeks old. Nevertheless, you can check out the website’s breakdown below.
In third place was Android 9.0 Pie, accounting for 18.2% of all tallied devices, followed by Oreo (13.7%) and Nougat (6.3%). Bringing up the rear were Android Jelly Bean, KitKat, and Lollipop, accounting for 0.6%, 1.4%, and 3.9% of devices respectively.
Either way, Android 12 adoption is off to a good start for a couple of brands. Google has already pushed the stable update out to Pixel users, while Samsung hasreleased the updateto Galaxy S21 owners. But the Android ecosystem sorely needs other manufacturers such as OnePlus, Motorola, and Xiaomi to speed things up if it hopes for faster adoption this time.
