As we know, Samsung is now known to be the largest producer of smartphones in the world, and become the strongest enemy of Apple. Samsung’s success can not be separated from the operating system called Android that now dominate the global handset market. According to Millennial Media reports quoted by Phone Arena, Samsung has now become the most dominating players in the Android ecosystem with a record market share of 46 percent in the third quarter of 2012.
This number has increased two-fold over the same quarter the previous year, which only recorded a market share of 23 percent. In the same period, the market share of Android HTC plummeted from 32 percent to 16 percent, so HTC into second position after Samsung. In the third and fourth position occupied by Motorola with a market share of 11 percent and LG at 9 percent. And the remaining 18 percent, according to Millennial Media, controlled by the “other brands” are likely occupied by ZTE, Sony and Huawei.
