Several months after its launch, Android 12 is still far from being installed on all devices. Indeed, according to a recent survey, only 2.6% of users would have made the migration. Android 11, meanwhile, remains the most popular version with 29.5% of users, followed closely by Android 10.
A priori, one would think that, if not a majority, at least a significant portion of users have installed Android 12. In fact, the latest version of Google’s operating system has been available for several months, while the manufacturers’ overlays are revealed one by one. But it would be wrong to know the deployment habits of Android, which has tended to lengthen over time in recent years.
Thus, it is not really surprising to learn that only 2.6% of users have migrated to Android 12. This figure comes to us from a survey conducted by Uptodown, a 130 million strong alternative store to Google Play. followers. In fact, the operating system ranks fifth among the most popular OSes. Unsurprisingly, Android 11 takes first place with 29.5% of users.

Android 12 is still far behind Android 11
The latter is followed by Android 10 (25.2%), then by Android 9 (11.5%), then by Oreo, version 8.1 of Android (11%). As mentioned above, these results are not unusual. It is now customary that versions prior to the most recent remain more popular than this one. This was particularly the case with Android 11 in 2021, which remained behind Android 10 for a long time even though a quarter of users had already adopted it.
It is therefore only a matter of time before Android 12 takes hold on the majority of smartphones. The time that all manufacturers develop their overlay on the one hand, then that the need is really felt among users on the other hand. Besides, Uptodown also reveals the most popular smartphone brands. Samsung leads with 31.62% of the vote, followed by Xiaomi and Huawei, respectively with 16.31% and 11.07% of the vote. Finally, the most used browser is Chrome, well ahead of its competitors with 83.6% of users.
