Analyst iSuppli is expecting Android to be ahead of Apple’s iPhone iOS, globally, by 2012. The research, featured on Bloomberg today, says it expects 75 million Android phones to be in circulation by 2012, which will give it nearly a fifth of the market – while iPhone will have sold 62 million iPhones in comparison.
And by the year 2014, iSuppli says it expects Android to have 23% of the global smartphone market, while iPhone will have declined to 15%.
We like iSuppli‘s visionary thinking, and up-pointing graph. Read the full, forward-looking piece over on iSuppli.
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?

/ August 6, 2010Just to point out the obvious, this is LIFETIME sales. It’s already outselling it on day to day sales.
Also as more and more companies jump to Android and announce products that date will come forward. I think mid-late 2011 would be more realistic.

/ August 6, 201075 million by 2012 is less, I wish it were more like 500 million with all those cheap android 2.2 phones coming out.
