Published

Currently, Google’s Android is the only smartphone Operating System which most manufacturers are using in their devices with a layer of some customizations. However, there seem to be some issues with Android lately, in which its slow diffusion is the main. Recently some reports claimed that currently, only less than 6% of devices are running on Android 13, so let’s take a look at them.

The Android 13 update spreads too slowly

As per the latest official Android distribution figures of Google, less than 6% (only 5.2%) of smartphone devices currently have Android version 13. However, it has been nearly 5 to 6 months since Android 13’s official launch, but it still hasn’t reached more devices; Android is surely struggling with slow reach. Not only the latest Android 13, but the same happened with the previous Android 12/12L update also.

Google could make the sharing menu more consistent in Android 14

According to those stats, the Android 12 and 12L have seen an increase; this update has now reached 18.9% of devices, which was only 13.5% back in August. Other than these, presently, 24.4% of devices are on Android 11, 19.5% are on Android 10, and 13.2% of devices are running on Android Pie. Notably, the least number of devices are running on Android Kitkat (0.7%), and Android Jellybean is now out of the list, which had 0.3% shares previously.

Apart from this, other versions such as Lolipop, Marshmallow, Nougat, and Oreo also have 2.1%, 2.8%, 3.7%, and 9.5%, respectively. Conclusively, currently, most of the devices are running on Android version 11. Besides, the most recent Android 13 has reached 5.2% of devices only, which is also because of the leading manufacturers such as Samsung, OnePlus, and Sony’s speedy rollout, and we are expecting its figure to grow drastically in the coming span.

Samsung Prioritizes Faster Charging in 2024 Smartphones

The first quarter of 2024 is already over; during this interval, Samsung has introduced several Galaxy smartphones of particular belonging, such as the flagship Galaxy S24 series, the Galaxy A55 and Galaxy A35, the mid-range ones, the Galaxy A15 and Galaxy F15, the budgetable ones, and many more. But the fact is, after being the latest smartphones, they have a lack of ‘charging speed.’ 

Undoubtedly, Samsung is leading the tech industry with its top-notch features, design, and larger batteries, as compared to other Android manufacturers, but despite all this, it has a massive lack of charging speed. Samsung usually attaches larger batteries to its Galaxy smartphones to enhance the users’ non-stop-using experience. But a larger battery isn’t worth it unless it has a good charging speed. 

On the other hand, Chinese manufacturers are equipping their smartphones with charging speeds north of 100W, whereas 45W is the maximum speed you can get on Galaxy smartphones. However, even 45W charging is quite rare among Galaxy phones. Samsung has launched most of the Galaxy devices in the last couple of years, including the flagship with support for 25W. 

Here we are making things easy for you if you are looking to buy a Galaxy smartphone that debuted in 2024 with the support of 45W charging speed by mentioning a list of devices: 


The list is quite short, even considering that the Galaxy F55, M55, and C55 are just rebranded variants of the same smartphone for different regions. Now Samsung is setting up to launch its next-generation foldable devices, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6, in July, but it is yet to be confirmed whether these devices will get a boost in charging speeds from 25W or not.
