The numbers also show the downfall of all other Android versions including Jelly Bean, which actually lost its market share for first time last month. Froyo and Honeycomb seem to be in the last leg of their lifetime with Gingerbread, Ice Cream Sandwich, Jelly Bean and KitKat dominating the Android landscape. With more manufacturers releasing devices with Android 4.4.x or upgrading older versions, we expect to see the same trend continuing over the coming months.
Here is the change in Android version distribution since last month:
| Android version | April numbers | May numbers |
| Froyo | 1.1 | 1.0 |
| Gingerbread | 17.4 | 16.2 |
| Honeycomb | 0.1 | 0.1 |
| Ice Cream Sandwich | 14.3 | 13.4 |
| Jelly Bean | 61.4 | 60.8 |
| KitKat | 5.3 | 8.5 |
