Another month, another set of distribution numbers. This time encompassing the numbers shown in the first week of November, with the 7-day period ending November 2.

The first piece of data worth mentioning is the fact that Android 6.0 Marshmallow, which is still a brand new entry in the Android platform, is already on the board at 0.3%. Meanwhile, Android 5.0/5.1 Lollipop totaled in at 25.6 percent, or 15.5% and 10.1%, respectively. Android 4.4 KitKat is still holding strong at 37.8%.

Android Jelly Bean has a total share of 29 percent, while Android Ice Cream Sandwich is now only holding 4 percent of the distribution’s numbers.

All in all, there aren’t many surprises here. It is good to see that Android Marshmallow is on the board at this point, and hopefully it grows in adoption quickly moving forward.
