Android in May: 4.3 Jelly Bean and 4.4 KitKat growing

Now that the month of May is all but gone Google has released its latest Android distribution breakdown and we get to see how the different versions have developed in the passed month.

April saw KitKat gain more ground at the expense of older versions and the trend continued last month as well. It seems the tablet-centric Honeycomb has passed under the 0.1% and is now gone from the distribution chart.

May saw the latest version of Android - 4.4 KitKat - grow from 8.5% in April to 13.6% in May. Jelly Bean 4.2 and 4.3 also grew in distribution - from 18.8% to 19.1% and from 8.5% to 10.3% respectively.

The older Android versions have continued to see their market share fall. Android 4.1 Jelly Bean has gone down by 4.5 percentage points, Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich by 1.1 points. Android 2.3 Gingerbread saw a fall of 1.3 percentage points while Android 2.2 Froyo lost 0.2 points.
