A lot of people still seems to be stocked on Android 4
Kitkat, and woe betide that device that defies upgrade.
Kitkat, and woe betide that device that defies upgrade.
The new numbers for December show a very small 1% decline to
34% for Lollipop. That breaks down to 10.8% for Android 5.0 and 23.2% for
Android 5.1%. Combined, the Lollipop build remains the most widely used on
Android devices. Second place goes to Android 6.0 Marshmallow, currently
installed in 26.3% of Android devices. Phones and tablets powered by Android
4.4 KitKat (24%), Android 4.1.x, 4.2.x and 4.3 Jelly Bean (12.8%), Android
4.0.3, 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich (1.2%) and Android 2.3.3-2.3.7 Gingerbread
(1.2%) are next.

The reason KitKat was so long dominant is that Android 5.0
and 5.1 were split into two platform versions because of their differing API
levels. So, really, Lollipop remains the “dominant” Android version
if we combine the two versions, but Marshmallow is now the single most
prevalent version of the platform by individual API level.

Why are you still hanging on Lollipop?
haba Yomi no money for upgrading
am still stock in lollipop though
??????????????… Do you really need money to upgrade?
Lol
Tecno W3 is cheap and up to date. Check it out
Some people are deliberately staying on Lollipop majorly because it's more 'tweakable/rootable' than the newer versions.
Some would have migrated to newer version if not for money that's on strike.
If that's the reason, then I'll say it's ignorance! They can also tweak the newer ones.
I'm on marshmallow
No money to buy new phone for this recession na?

The major problem is people find it hard to upgrade after rooting their phones
Why won't they be stuck when new phones are far from becoming cheap, to make matters worst, these phones won't receive OTA update.
Lollipop still remains the most convenient if you're a wide phone range user
