Androids new top device – Samsung Dominating
Among the Samsung family, and within the Android ecosystem, the Samsung Galaxy S II has officially been replaced by The Samsung Galaxy S III. Having taken the spot form its older brother back in January, the top 10 Android devices can be seen in the graph below.
Surprisingly, the only two to manage to crack Samsungs stranglehold in the top 10 are the Amazon Kindle Fire and Motorola’s Droid RAZR. Samsung however during the month of January made up 47% of Android devices worldwide. This is nothing new, but Samsung also accounted for 47% of Android devices in December, 2012, and 48% in November.
An interesting observation is that despite Samsung’s overall Android dominance, Samsung does not hold the number one spot for Android tablets; that honor goes to the Amazon Kindle Fire, which accounts for 37% of all Android tablets (mainly in the US). After December’s huge growth in Android tablets, the Fire’s successes may show why Samsung’s share of total Android devices is holding rather than growing.
