Video: Google highlights the work of the AI team in Android P
The adoption of the latest and greatest Android is notoriously slow and Android Oreo 8.0, released in August last year, is not different.
As the excitement grows on the next Android P, Google's distribution figures for the week ending July 23 reminded us how few of the two billion Android users would benefit latest features available.
Android Oreo 8.0, released August 21, is now running on 10.1% of Android devices, while Android 8.1, released in December, is on 2%. Still, Android Oreo is up 5 percent since May.
Those who have had a phone with Oreo can at least benefit from Google's Project Treble, which has introduced key architectural changes to offer Android P to these phones faster than ever.
Meanwhile, most of the two billion Android users runs on Marshmallow 6.0, which Google released in the days leading up to screens and end-to-end notches . Precisely 23.5 recent Android devices are running on Marshmallow today, followed by Nougat at 21.2 percent. [Android9003] Android Oreo could have a little boost in the coming days, since Oreo will finally be released on Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge devices unlocked in the United States, after reaching the Galaxy S8 devices around March.
As usual, the comparison with the latest iOS adoption figures makes Android seem like a mess, with 81% of iPhones and iPads on iOS 11, released in July, 14 % on iOS 10 and 5% on iOS

Android Oreo has put a leash on the processes of background for applications to help preserve RAM and battery life, introduces -Picture mode, several notification changes, and of course Project Treble, which makes the operating system more modular to help OEMs to release updates faster.
As for Android P, which Google will launch towards the end of the summer, it is now moving towards the final stages of its preview phase. As mentioned recently by Google, the latest preview was the "preliminary version of the Android candidate version with quasi-final system behaviors and the official API Android P (API level 28)".
Those who bought Android phones with Oreo installed can expect to receive Android P faster than in previous years through Project Treble, which means it will not only be Google's own Pixel devices that will get it quickly. As discussed in a recent AMA on Reddit hosted by Android P engineers, Project Treble has actually made life more difficult for Android engineers, but that should help the ongoing Android fragmentation problem.
