According to the latest distribution statistics from Google through the Android Studio development tool, Android 13 is only installed on 12% of devices. Though the present version of the operating system was released about eight months ago, it seems it is not so popular yet nor adapted.
Significantly, it means that more people have previous versions installed than this one. Still, around 16% of gadgets have Android 12 installed, and almost 24% have Android 11 as the operating system. By comparison, only around 5% of devices had Android 13 at the beginning of the year. However, a 12% installation rate isn’t necessarily as bad as it sounds.
It entered the chart at a 13.3% adoption rate when Android 12 was first included in Google’s distribution statistics. Google makes Android available to mobile manufacturers, but it’s up to each one to roll it out on their own devices. For example, that’s why some devices will get Android 14 before other phones.
An operating system version and subsequent updates usually undergo a lot of internal testing to ensure compatibility and a consistent user experience. And this testing period tends to take longer when it comes to major version upgrades.
Well, the full release is slated for later this year, probably around August. But, the first Android 14 beta was recently made available for Google Pixel phones. Which includes several stability improvements and new features.
