Google has long struggled with getting device manufacturers to update older devices to the latest version of Android, but with Android 10 seeing the fastest adoption rates of any version of Android. Android 10 was installed on 100 million devices five months after its launch in September 2019 — 28 percent faster than it took the company to reach a similar milestone for Android Pie. Google credits the faster adoption rate to improvements the company has been making over the years, like Android Oreo’s Project Treble and Android 10’s Project Mainline, which makes it easier for hardware companies to create new updates. But while those numbers are impressive, Google’s post is notably missing some crucial information, like what percentage of Android devices are running Android 10 — a number that’s sure to be lower than Google would like.
