We have learned the new figures from the web giant that more than half of users are operating either KitKat or Lollipop. These two operating systems take up a combined market share of 51.6%.

Lollipop just takes up over 12 % of the share on its lonesome, but the old versions of Android system like Gingerbread( Android edition 2.3) and Cream Sandwich( Android edition 4.0.x) has become the popular editions.

KitKat( Android edition 4.4) is the most popular version of Android and it takes up 39.2% of the share, while its old edition Jelly Bean( Android edition 4.1) is 37.4% of the share when taking all its incarnations into account.
