Android worldwide marketshare crosses 80% for the first time

Tags: Android , iOS , Windows Phone 8



According to the International Data Corporation (IDC) Worldwide Quarterly Mobile Phone Tracker, the Android platform just crossed 80 percent marketshare in the third quarter of 2013. With 211.6 million smartphones shipped in this quarter, Android continues to maintain its dominant position in the market, this time reaching an all time high with a 51.3 percent growth over last year.












Android is not the only platform doing well. Although not quite there yet in terms of total marketshare, Microsoft's Windows Phone platform grew by 156 percent year-over-year, reaching 3.6 percent marketshare in the third quarter in terms of shipment.




iOS also continued it's slower but continued growth, with a 12.9 percent marketshare that is 25.6 percent over last year.




One thing to remember that these numbers only take into account shipments and not actual devices sold or actually being used, which could paint a different picture.
