Android 4.1 Jelly Bean Slowly Growing: On 1.8% Of Android Devices

Google's latest iteration of Android, Jelly Bean, was officially unveiled earlier this year, but has been slow to hit consumer devices.Still, according to Google back in the beginning of September around 1.3 million Android devices are activated every day, with 70,000 of them being tablets.

As of now, around 1.8 percent of these Android devices are now running Jelly Bean, according to Google. The data, compiled over a 14-day period leading up to October 1, shows that the number of Jelly Bean devices is growing slowly. Google compiles the data by looking at the devices that access the Google Play store. 

There are not many Android Jelly Bean-running devices out there - so this is still good news.

Earlier in the year, Google's Nexus 7 tablet made up a bulk of the Jelly Bean-ready tablets. Now, a number of devices are set to receive, or already have, Android 4.1 Jelly Bean.

The most high-profile devices to have Jelly Bean that aren't Google come from Samsung. The South Korean electronics manufacturer's flagship phone, the Samsung Galaxy S3, has just started to receive its official Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update. As of now, Poland looks to be the only country where an official upgrade has been issued, with the rest of the world to follow. For a real-time, updated list of Jelly Bean for the Galaxy S3, check out YouMobile. 

The company has also stated that it plans on bringing Jelly Bean to 15 devices.

Samsung recently started launching the Galaxy Note 2 worldwide (with a later, mid-November U.S. release date) which comes with Jelly Bean out of the box. 

Many other companies, including Motorola, Asus, ACER, and Toshiba have all stated that they are hard at work on getting Jelly Bean out to their devices.
