The smartphone market does not stop growing in the world, especially in the United States. After all, who does not like to be able to access the internet and have contact with social networks like Facebook and Twitter? And the major determinants of growth are the Androids and iPhones.
According to Nielson, a respected Research Institute United States, the total number of smartphones purchased in the last three months of last year reached 32% of phones in the United States. Today, that figure is 55%, more than half.
The most interesting point of research is the market share of the iPhone and Android. The iPhone has about 27%, 38% and the Androids BlackBerry behind them with 21% market share. In the United States, BlackBerries are used extensively in the corporate market by company executives.
Why Androids are the first on user preference? One reason must be the price of handsets, as some models are cheaper Android. Moreover, they are not tied to a single manufacturer, like Apple's iPhone. Thus, we Androids for everyone: small and powerful Sony Ericsson Xperia and Samsung as the Galaxy.
But in the last three months, more Americans bought iPhones and Androids market was stable. That's because Apple released a new version of the iPhone last year, leading many users to change their smartphones.
