Back in August, Google released Android 8.0 Oreo and it took about two months for Oreo to enter into Android’s chart distribution with 0.2%. Recall that Google does not include any Android version with less than 0.1% distribution in its charts. One month after it made its official entry into the chart, Oreo now occupies 0.3% of the market. Many may consider a 0.1% increase within a month as “slow” but it has always been like this with new Android systems. So far, Nexus, Pixel, and Sony devices have been bringing out the relevance of this OS version but with new devices joining the fold, its 0.3% distribution is bound to increase.
