A few days ago about its vision of the smartphone market and the distribution of shares of mobile operating systems, reported Gartner company. Today, the same questions posed other analytical firm - International Data Corporation (IDC). However, in contrast to their colleagues, IDC estimated first quarter primarily from the point of view of change in the shares of the smartphone operating systems.
Similarly, it is clear that the second-largest mobile market is Apple iOS. Together, these two operating systems hold as many as 92.3% of the market. The mobile operating system from Microsoft for the year increased its share it was able to break out in third place, leaving behind the operating system of BlackBerry.
A little more detailed look at the position of mobile operating systems, we note that in the first quarter were sold 199.5 million smartphones running Android and iOS. A year ago, these systems sold 125.4 million units, corresponding to an annual increase in the supply of 59.1%. Among the suppliers of smartphones running Android by a considerable margin Samsung lead . South Korean manufacturer owns 41.1% of this area. In this case, none of the nearest competitor can boast a market share of over 10% of Android.
Devices running Apple iOS showed a very low annual growth, which has led Apple's mobile operating system in the loss of market share.
Among the devices running Windows Phone devices in the lead with Nokia, whose share in the supply of 79%. During the entire period of cooperation with Microsoft, Nokia sold 20.3 million smartphones with Windows Phone. Sure, this system has potential. BlackBerry company clearly lost the first quarter to Microsoft company . During the year, the share of Canadian developer declined by 35.1%. In the first quarter, were sold over 1 million units with the new operating , in the current situation this can be considered a great success. Another question - whether the company will be able to consolidate and build on this success?
Among the Linux-based mobile OS also not visible recovery. Manufacturers supporting alternative systems actively switch to Android. However, soon the company will release a Samsung smartphone running Tizen, as there is a place for Mozilla , SailFish, and Ubuntu platforms. But Symbian is losing ground steadily, although experts believe that this OS will be able to make a living somehow, and over the next year. Related Products :
