Gartner: 456M Phones Sold In Q3, 55% Of Them Smartphones; Android At 82% Share, Samsu
Last year, Strategy Analytics made the prediction that we may have approached "peak Android" for how big a market share the operating system may be able to attain in the U.S. market. Fast forward to today, and it's clear that Android is continuing to grow worldwide -- although its biggest OEM, Samsung, may be the one that has reached a ceiling of sorts. Figures out today from Gartner indicate that in Q3, Android accounted for nearly 82% of all smartphone sales in the period, and while Samsung has continued to remain in the lead, it is doing so with a flat marketshare of 32%.
