From the past few years we have seen that the usage of the Internet through Smart Phones have increased tremendously, thanks to the innovations by the phone manufacturers which are certainly offering productive devices to the consumers. This is one of the main reasons why the users have started using Mobile Phones as one of their primary devices to access the information. Based on this usage and the statistics from statcounter, we have found some useful insights embedded below.
You can clearly see that the Android Operating System is leading the whole chart with the numbers going up from the past 12 months and has even crossed the number of iOS users. Along with this the major decline is seen in the Symbian OS where the users have dropped to almost 50% within six months, which is alarming.
The major rise has been in the Series 40 OS which is not surprising because Nokia has sold more than 1.5B of these in the last year and has been launching newer models like the Asha Series to ensure that the sales keep going. We expect that by the year end Series 40 would be standing head to head with iOS and Android. The only issue with Series 40 is that these are very low priced budget phones where the profits are very less to the manufacturer but they would still bring in huge turnovers.
Another major decline has been seen by the Blackberry OS which has seen a declines from 13% market share to 5% now which is again a huge downfall and thanks to their less innovative products, we expect this to continue.
PS : What is your favorite OS from the above chart? Which OS would be in the Top by next year?
sunithbabu says
Definitely
Andriod …..
Harshit says
iOS and Android (for sure)…
Dhruv says
Well, I personally feel that no one can rule over iOS !!!
Might be people are loving free apps in Android and less cost..
But they are forgetting about the processor speed, brilliant picture quality, retina display which makes iPhone a worth buy phone !!
Thanks 🙂

Jungleads says
Google should stop pushing crappy updates and start working on more features with every release i didnt saw any new features from gingerbread to jellybean except the UI/themes.And there is no flash support for JB so whats the use ?.
rebel says
i feel symbian need to release an updated os as it is a user friendly then need to change the lookz and interface soo that it could stand in this fight or competition as we all know symbian was the best mobile os soo far every 1 got till this big deal android came 🙂
nokia should stop this windows mobilez and start some thing new which makez them perfect like nokia with symbian now nokia with new(os).
cause every one need a change 😀
WallShade says
Symbian is already down there is no proper marketing and not much developers so i suggest nokia is a great company and their products are great so they have to either start making android phones or atleast they should start producing better windows phones with competitive prices.
JP says
What’s going on with J2ME , is it still Alive ?
Kamal says
In spite of selling two million iPhones in first 24 hours of launch, iOS still struggling to get near Android. Apple does not considers low end markets seriously and the result is the graph with Android dominating!
Nibin K says
Android the best OS available at present. Brings everything at one place. I love it
Raj says
Nice chart Amit! I think Symbian and Blackberry OS will disappear in a year.
Ahsan says
Amit why you stopped updating this blog regularly ? i missed your posts yaar.
Abhimanyu says
I use Android and it’s no doubt that Android is global leader. But why doesn’t this chart show Windows Mobile OS? That can give a competition to iOS and Android for sure.
Rahul Jain says
What happens with my BB Blackberry OS, only android and android is rocking these days. thanks amit for sharing it. Image says everything. I hope you’ll update latest stats soon.
Shiv says
Sad for the Symbian
Anand Hittinali says
android and ios do have a long stay in the market, blackberry has come up with Z10 but its chances seem low.
