Gingerbread Steadily Declining as Android 4.0+ Nears 50-percent Adoption
It’s that time again. The time when we get to see what percentage of Android devices are running which versions of Android. This data is extremely useful to developers and great statistical fodder for us bloggers.
Last month, we saw the disappearance of Cupcake, and I’m sad to report, it’s still gone. On the bright side, Donut is still holding on with a 0.2% share of the pie.
You’ll also find Android 4.0+ steadily reaching respectable numbers, combining to make up 42.6% of Android devices visiting the Google Play store within a 14-day period ending on February 4, 2013.
Unfortunately, Gingerbread still remains the top dog, accounting for 45.6% of the Android devices accessing Google Play. With the lead narrowing, I expect Android 4.0+ to overtake Gingerbread this time next month.
It’s nice to see more recent versions of Android making their way to devices, and it makes me happy to know more individuals are now enjoying the many features Ice Cream Sandwich and Jelly Bean have to offer.
For the rest of the numbers, simply check out the chart above or follow the source link below for a more in depth history of distribution.

Urban Armor Gear LG G4 Case Review
June 23, 2015 | Vincent Messina
The Urban Armor Gear series of cases for the LG G4 aim to protect and serve your mobile device in a virtual blanket of, well, urban armor. Designed from a patented lightweight composite consisting of a hard outer shell and a soft impact resistant core, this dual layer defense not only meets military drop-test standards (MIL STD 810G 516.6), but looks good doing it. Now, before I go into more detail, let it be know that I have always been more of an au naturel device kind of guy, but after a bit of time with the Ash colored LG G4 Urban Armor Case, I can tell you that this case won’t be coming off any time soon.
Device Review: Droid Turbo, This is the Droid You’re Looking For
January 31, 2015 | Keyan X
The DROID brand deserves the majority of credit for the amount of early success that the Android operating system had in 2009 and 2010. From the original Motorola DROID to the original DROID Incredible, this was the brand of phones that people flocked to if they wanted a phone outside of the iPhone, not just because of a great marketing campaign, but because these were top of the line phones. Ask most of the readers on this site which phone got them started on Android, and you shouldn’t be surprised to hear them say, “The OG DROID.” It’s an iconic phone that helped launch Android to the top.
