Take the Sony Ericsson X10 Mini for example. Maybe this would be a much more relevant statistic to come up with?Īnd one more thought on the topic: Concerning Android, I also see it on devices now being bought by people for other reasons than using Internet based services.
So I highly doubt that the market leadership of Symbian, even though I personally prefer it over the other OSes, translates into an equal device market share that is actually used with a data subscription. However, its sales have started to decline. Huawei continued to lead the market with 45 share in Q3 (in smartphone sales). Xiaomi outperformed the market as the only major OEM to achieve a positive YoY growth in Q3 in China.

While this might be true for most iOS and Android devices, as they have specifically been built and bought for this purpose, other operating systems like RIMs operating system for the Blackberry and Symbian are bought by many people without having Internet services in mind. Smartphone sales in China recovered slowly with 6 QoQ growth in Q3. However, I think these are a bit misleading as they implicitly suggest, at least to me, that the percentage of each OS also equals the percentage of devices with a certain OS being used with a data subscription, i.e. Wikipedia, for example, has such a figure on this page. The gamble paid off with 8 out of 10 smartphones on the market today powered by an Android OS.

Google distributed the operating system and some services for free with the aim of matching the iPhone and getting a slice of the smartphone market. Android democratized smartphone ownership. Every now and then I stumble across a nice diagram showing the market shares of different smartphone operating systems such as Symbian, Android, iOS, and so on.
