Android 13 was officially made available by Google in late summer 2022, but it remains far from the most widely used version in the world. This is the conclusion we can draw from the latest distribution data for this operating system.
According to the metrics now published, only 5.2% of all smartphones in the world use Android 13. A figure that demonstrates a timid growth of this software since its arrival on the market.
Android 13 installed on just 5.2% of all smartphones
The data that reveal this information to us can be found on the Android Studio platform. This is the new vehicle for disseminating Android distribution data, serving above all as a support tool for programmers.
The beginning of 2023 also means a new update for this hierarchy. The last official data was from August 2022, when Android 13 was not yet included in this hierarchy.
Five months after the reveal of the final version of Android 13, we note that it reached only 5.2% of all Android devices in the world. A pace of growth that remains very slow compared to its rival iOS.
Brands like Samsung, OPPO, Xiaomi and Google itself are among the main drivers of this number. The Android 13 distribution process is still ongoing, so it is natural that this value will rise in the coming months.
Android 11 remains the most used version
Looking at the rest of this table, we conclude that the most popular Android version in the world is still Android 11. Released in September 2020, this remains the most used operating system with a market share of 24.4%.
Next is Android 10 with a market share of 19.5%. This version is closely followed by Android 12 with a market share of 18.9%.
Also note the disappearance of Android Jelly Bean that was still in effect in the last update of this table. An underline for the fact that Android KitKat still accounts for 0.7% of active Android smartphones globally.
