Samsung comes off. Yesterday, the Korean confirmed that it was starting the year with homework done, recognizing that its flagship, the Samsung Galaxy S, would have managed to exceed the barrier of ten million terminals sold worldwide. With the objective accomplished, the Asian manufacturer has been able to review other achievements, and some of the data that has been provided has been quite striking.
One of these points to the market share that Samsung has in the Android terminal park. And it is that according to the accounts that are facilitated from Unwired View, only during the last quarter of the year, the Korean company sold around eight million terminals equipped with the Google operating system for smartphones. An amount that would represent approximately 34 percent of all Android on the market. Or what is the same, one in three mobiles activated with one of the versions of the platform.
This approximation is made considering, in the first place, the number of Samsung Galaxy S phones that were sold between October and December 2010. It was in this period when half of all the Galaxy S sold in 2010. Five million were distributed and acquired. devices. That is not bad at all.
The rest of Android would make up a total of three million devices. A million of these come from another of the star terminals of the Korean, the Samsung Galaxy Tab. The rest would be terminals of the Galaxy family, although from lower strata in performance (the Galaxy 3 and Galaxy 5), among others.
Let's think that according to data provided by Google itself, the year ended with an Android terminal activation rate of 300,000 units per day. However, the rate for most of the last semester was 200,000 units.
With this, and given that growth had to be gradual, it is to be assumed that we could establish an average a little above 250,000 daily activations during the last quarter of the year. That would give us a park close to 23 million devices, which would imply that just over one in three Android phones would be signed by Samsung.
