Google has released the Android distribution numbers for August, 2018, and the list reveals the Android Oreo as the biggest gain.

The recently released Android 9 Pie was absent on the list. Considering the fact that Google only skips versions with shares below the 0.1% threshold, it is safe to assume that Android 9 Pie does not yet cover up to 0.1% of smartphones running on the Android OS.

So far, only Google's Pixel phones and the Essential Phone 1 have gotten the stable release of Android Pie. But still, it is quite interesting to think that Google's Pixel phones actually make up less than 0.1% of the total Android market.

Android Oreo (8 and 8.1) went up from 12.1% in July to 14.6% in August.

Here are the numbers:

1. Nougat (7.0 and 7.1) - 30.8%

2. Marshmallow - 22.7%

3. Lollipop - 19.2%

4. Oreo - 14.6%

5. KitKat - 8.6%

6. Jelly Bean - 2.5%

7. Ice Cream Sandwich - 0.3%

8. Gingerbread - 0.3%

Android Pie will probably be included in the September distribution list if it finds its way to more and more devices.
