Google has once again updated its Platform Version data, showing how the Android ecosystem was put together during the two-week period ending May 1st. Google gets these numbers by counting devices that access the Play Store, so it comes with a few caveats about accuracy.
But anyway. It was a good month for the various versions of Android 4.0, which is now installed on 4.9% of all Android devices – quite a steep rise from the 2.9% of the market it was powering last month. Here’s the full breakdown:
Despite the growth of “Ice Cream Sandwich” use, Android 2.3 is still on the increase as well, up to 64.4% of the known Android world this month from 63.7% last month. That’ll be the new buyers coming onboard. Hello, new people.
It’s smooth to use, the 1080p display is sharp, clear and bright, the device is extremely light and thin and therefore very pocketable and portable — much more so than other 5-inch phones we’ve used. And yet… we’re a bit unimpressed by the overall package…
A relatively high-spec smartphone, with a 4.5″ display running at 480 x 854 resolution and powered by a 1.2GHz dual-core processor, plus the Ascend G510 arrives running Android 4.1.1 — albeit potentially hindered by Huawei only sticking 512MB of RAM inside it..
The Panasonic Eluga marks the company’s return to the European mobile phone scene years after several years of absence, and it’s come back to us with a moderately high-spec Android model that features a rather stylish, slim case.
Sony returns with an all-new mobile design for 2012, pairing a dual-core processor with a 720p display. It’s a lovely phone, but is it enough to end our Samsung and HTC obsession?
LG’s updated Prada phone comes with an absolutely crazy black & white theme, but is it just for fashionable suit wearers who want to make themselves look a bit more interesting?
