We have another storming piece of Android statistical good news today, courtesy, once again, of attention-grabbing, forward-looking, graph-making research company ChangeWave.
When ChangeWave asked people planning on buying a smartphone in the next 90 days what OS they were favouring, 30% of them said “ANDROID!”, compared to a lesser 21% last December. Apple’s all-conquering iPhone is pretty much static, moving up from 28% to 29%, while BlackBerry drops some 5%.
Here’s a quote from CW’s report:
“The Google Android OS has nearly doubled its market share in the three months since our previous survey in December. Among respondents who currently own a smart phone, 7% say it uses an Android mobile operating system compared with just 4% three months ago.
“Looking ahead, the explosive demand for the Android OS is likely to continue – with 30% of those planning to buy a smart phone in the next 90 days saying they’d prefer to have the Android OS on their new phone. That’s a huge 9-pt jump since December and a five-fold increase from just six months ago”
And now, the money-shot:
Read more over at ChangeWave, if you need yet more affirmation that ordering yourself an HTC Desire was very much the right thing to do.
HTC’s 4.3″ dual-core Android model, powered by Qualcomm’s all-new S4 processor. It’s smaller than the enormous One X, but is it as nice as its bigger brother? (SPOILER: Yes it is).
HTC is very much B-A-C-K at the top of the Android world with this, its quad-core flagship for 2012. Great camera, huge 4.7″ display and Android 4.0 running beautifully well.
Sony returns with an all-new mobile design for 2012, pairing a dual-core processor with a 720p display. It’s a lovely phone, but is it enough to end our Samsung and HTC obsession?
LG’s updated Prada phone comes with an absolutely crazy black & white theme, but is it just for fashionable suit wearers who want to make themselves look a bit more interesting?
