The growth of Android in other fish markets in 3 months ( according to statistics ) is also very impressive. In particular, in the Mexican market, Android currently accounts for 80.6% market share ( up 17.6% ), this figure in China is 84.6% ( up 8.4% ). In contrast to Android, iOS and Windows Phone fell 5.6% and 1.5%, respectively.

The explanation of the reason for the strong growth of Android in the Asian market in the past Kantar said that it is due to the growth of market share of indigenous handset manufacturers such as Xiaomi and Huawei ( accounting for 31, 6% market share of Chinese market ). Not only that, this trend is showing signs of spreading to international markets other than China.

However, it must be acknowledged the fact that not all local producers have achieved the same success as the two companies. Typically, names like ZTE, Lenovo, and Oppo have been constantly losing market share in the past.

In the other 5 major markets in Europe are Germany, England, France, Italy and Spain, the average Android growth is about 4% ( a figure is quite impressive for markets with signs of saturation as in Europe ). Part of this increase is due to Samsung's success when in the UK alone, Galaxy S5 accounts for 11.5% of all smartphone sales sold, thereby becoming the best-selling phone. in this market. Windows Phone also showed steady growth in key markets ( especially in Europe ) with the arrival of phones such as Lumia 630 and 930.
