Following the success of new smartphones like the Galaxy S4 and HTC One, the latest version of Android is now found on a third of all smartphones. In May, 33% of Android devices that downloaded or updated applications from Google Play were found to run Jelly Bean, up from 25% in April. The success of Jelly Bean has resulted in decreases for all other software versions. Ice Cream Sandwich fell from 29.3% to 25.6%, Gingerbread from 39.8% to 36.5% and Froyo dropped from 4.0% to 3.2%. Google is expected to release the next version of Android, Android 4.3, in the coming months.
