Apple occupies third place with sales of 38 million iPhones. This is an increase of 5 million. Next we have the LG and the giants of China: ZTE, Huawei and TCL. Behind them is the Sony and Lenovo, all involving a few percent. These figures relate to all phones – both systemic and simpler featurephones. If you take out the statistics themselves smartphones, Samsung will stay ahead, with the top five falls while Nokia.

the latter systems, we are dealing with an undivided rule of Android. Its market share in the cake reaches 74.4%. The second is Apple’s iOS with 18%. Other systems can be properly called a niche third, BlackBerry has only 3% of the share, as well as coming up with the value of Windows Phone.

worth paying attention to two issues. First of all, in my opinion, the most successful Apple refers to what is true does not take first place, but with basically just the iPhone. We are talking about one phone so one manufacturer, while running on Android smartphones hundreds of producers, and reigning in the market Samsung has a huge portfolio phones. The second issue – the forecast for next year. Samsung wants to launch Tizen system, which could weaken the position of Android in the following charts. After all, Samsung, a leading manufacturer, has a big part in the success of this system. Reshuffle in the table, in addition to Tizen, it can cause the fledgling Firefox OS, targeted at low-end. big sale cheap smartphones can cause a rapid increase in its shares. Android rather not hurt, but it has a real chance to skip Windows and BlackBerry. In the end, the table may still confuse entrants Sailfish platform OS and Ubuntu Phone. But it’s very hazy future ̷ 0;
