android stats septemberBack in August, it was revealed that Android KitKat’s market share was sitting close to 21%. Well now that we’re in September, Google has released their latest figures and according to the numbers, it looks like KitKat has seen a surge in adoption and is now at 24.5%, making it a whopping 3.5% jump from last month!

Android Jelly Bean is still the dominant operating system at 53.8%, although Android 4.1.x Jelly Bean did see a drop from 26.5% to 25.1%. However Android 4.2.x and Android 4.3 saw slight increases, which we’re guessing probably has to be attributed to OEMs issuing updates to their handsets that might not otherwise have supported KitKat.

However overall Jelly Bean’s market share is still a decrease from last month’s 54.2%, ceding its share to its successor, KitKat. We’re not sure why there is such a huge jump in KitKat’s numbers, but we guess that’s a good thing as it means that more users have the latest operating system on their phones at the moment.

It is unclear as to when Android L will be released, but we have to wonder how much market share will KitKat manage to nab ahead of its release, and how fast will Android L be adopted as well. But what do you guys think?
