Android 17 runs on about 1% of devices, though many phones can already get it

Google's latest operating system still has a small market share, even though it has already reached many phones. According to data described by Spider's Web, Android 17 runs on only about 1% of devices.

What we know about Android 17

The system was released in June 2026 and first reached Google Pixel phones. More than four months have passed since its debut, and other manufacturers have started rolling out updates for their own models.

Most Samsung Galaxy S, Z and A series phones (A5X, A3X, A2X and A1X) have already received One UI 9.0, the interface layer that brings Android 17. Motorola, Xiaomi and OnePlus are rolling it out gradually. The author notes that the result is weaker than that of Android 8.1 from 2017. In his view, part of the reason is that many users haven't checked their settings and haven't installed the update.

Which versions are most popular

Android 16 is the most widely used. In October 2026 it ran on 25.4% of active devices. In December 2025 the figure was 7.5%.

The next places are taken by:

• Android 14 from 2023 – 15.3%,
• Android 15 from 2024 – 14.7%,
• Android 13 – 11.8%,
• Android 11 – 10.5%,
• Android 12 – 9.6%.

Android 14 or newer runs on 56.4% of devices. The data comes from Android Studio and covers only phones that used the Google Play Store in the previous seven days, so it does not represent the whole market.

What this means for you

If you have an Android phone, it is worth checking your settings to see whether the manufacturer has released the update yet. Availability depends on the brand and model, because manufacturers release it through their own interface layers. The source gives no rollout dates for the UK or Poland, so it is best to check availability for your specific model on the phone or the manufacturer's website.
