Android 8.0 has been a low burn since its release last fall. It’s been gaining a tenth of a percent here and there on the distribution charts, and Android 8.1 just appeared last month. This month, there’s a slightly larger bump that finally pushed the latest and greatest Android up over 1%.
As usual, here are all the numbers compared to last month.

The data is pretty straightforward this month—every version except for Nougat and Oreo lost a few tenths of a percent.
