Android Lollipop is only running on three per cent of Google's devices, with KitKat still winning the charge with 41 per cent market share.
Figures released by Google itself reveal the three iterations of Jelly Bean amount to a grand total of 42.9 per cent, showing it as the strongest all-round platform.
Lollipop was first rolled out in November 2014 and its slow adoption is more obvious when compared to Apple's iOS 8 update, which hit 50 per cent of iOS devices in just 40 days post launch. iOS 8 is now installed on 73 per cent of Apple devices, with the older iOS 7 boasting around 20 per cent of users.
However, Android update momentum seems to be increasing as the market share has doubled in a month - February's figures showed Android Lollipop was only installed on 1.6 per cent of devices at the same time last month.
Android Lollipop was first rolled out to Google-branded Android devices including the Nexus 4, Nexus 5, Nexus 7 and Nexus 10, but was then withdrawn before heading to over devices such as the Motorola Moto X and G.
This fragmented approach of rollout has upset a swathe of Android users who are eagerly awaiting the update but can't yet experience the benefits. It also triggers security concerns, with experts warning of the dangers caused by not updating devices when a new version becomes available.
Google gathers its data from people using the Google Play app, which requires Android 2.2 or above to operate, meaning some data is missing from the full market share stats, although it's likely those using such an old version don't equate to many.
