Android 16 Adoption Hits 7.5% as Google Updates Distribution Figures
- •Google's latest Android distribution figures, updated on December 1, 2025, show Android 16 reaching 7.5% adoption.
- •The previous update in April 2025 had Android 14 at 27.4% and Android 15 at 4.5%, before Samsung's major rollout.
- •Android 16's rollout began with Google Pixel devices, followed by premium models from other manufacturers like Samsung, Oppo, OnePlus, and Nothing.
- •Android 15 is now the most-used version at 19.3%, a figure lower than typical leading versions at this stage, possibly due to later data collection.
- •Android 4.4 KitKat has been removed from the distribution chart, indicating its usage has fallen below Google's reporting threshold.
Why It Matters: Android 16 gains traction at 7.5% adoption, Android 15 leads, and older versions decline.
