Android Device & OS Market Share for April 2013
With tax season behind us we find ourselves taking a look at last months device market share data, and who the main players are. This data is based on NativeX’s daily active users from mobile games, broken down by device and operating system. NativeX provides this data so:
“mobile game developers can stop guessing which Android devices to focus on.”
It is apparent in the image above that Samsung continues to lead the way with its Galaxy S3 at 12% share, Galaxy S2 at 7%, and Galaxy Note 2 at 3%.
Two not-so-usual suspects new on the charts in April however are the: Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1″ and the LG Motion.
While both the Galaxy Note 10.1″ and the LG Motion have been available for some time, they have slowly crept up the charts barely making the top ten last month. The LG Motion in particular took over XIamo MI-One’s spot with100K DAUs.
Android OS Market Share
Below are the breakdowns of the different Operating Systems (OS’s) on Android and how much share the account for. Fortunately, this time NativeX clarified that the data differs from the Android developer portal because their count only includes game apps, whereas the Android Developer Portal includes all apps.
Meaning: only Android game developers should use this data.
It will be nice to see if the HTC One can make its way into this list as one of the leading devices. I also suspect that the Galaxy S4 will be on its way in due time.
