For several years, the mobile operating system by Google is the leader in smartphone sales statistics, but it is not surprising – after using it most of the brands, and iOS is a “privilege” of Apple. However, the situation was quite odwotnie for tablets – Android of years does not give advice to future generations the industry’s first iPad. This, however, was finally defeated.
For the first time Android tablets achieved sales in excess based on iOS, and despite a super extensive catalog, with various brands, ranges of, prices, specifications, etc., so far it seemed impossible to achieve. And so, in turn, most sales raking in first iPad (then Andoid was still completely misfit), then the iPad 2, new iPad, iPad mini … Until finally, under the leadership of Tim Cook, the iPad Air and iPad Mini with Retina retina lagged behind the army of Android, which in this sector strengthened with 45.8 percent of total sales in 2012, to 61.9 in the past.
success of Android or Apple win
According to data collected in the above table, Android has achieved in the past year, 61.9 percent of the total Tablet sales, while iOS remained only 36 percent . Although we have the impression that it is the “fault” of Apple, let us note, however, that the market appears more and more devices based on Google software, which are becoming more and more competitive, both in terms of hardware and price. Huge thanks to the producers – look below.
Again, this Samsung …
biggest enemy of Apple, the leader in smartphones, Samsung, from years of building its potential. Despite the disappointment of a partial release of the Galaxy S5, is on par with Apple’s guideline trends, although it is rather Koreans “borrow” ideas from the Americans, and not vice versa. in smartphones. As for the tablet, the more and better with the help of the Android software, provides all the solutions that people “PC era” is missing in the tablet, and others, like microSD or solution line Note.
Is Google needs Samsung
Although it is difficult to give an objective answer, because both need Samsung Android and Samsung is currently not walked by without Android. Although arise more and more interesting alternatives , these, however, are still under development. We are therefore faced with the leader of software and intelligent leader of mobile devices. On the other hand, Samsung introduces interesting solutions and promotes software. For its part, Android shows that it can do even without the strongest brand – Nexuses passed to the LG, and without a GUI – Google Play Edition devices are bought by those who personalize manufacturers ‘pregnancy’. Also, despite the fact that Samsung takes the first place among m anufacturers, changes in other items are impomujące – Huawei in third place after Apple, the sale of Motorola, killing a Lenovo, China’s growing power …
Despite this, however, the “symbiosis” between Samsung and Google remains intact, in the common interest. When I thought that things between companies are not going too well, as evidenced by the development of Tizen OS as an alternative, that in the end the same South Korean manufacturer has made it clear he did not believe that his Tizen was enough ” strong “to compete with Android and Apple. However, the plan has not been suspended, only changed the position of the “Plan A” to “Plan B” – Samsung wants to test the reaction of consumers in markets where the presence of the devices of the Cupertino company is not as strong.
Android interface still needs fixes
Despite this, users and developers repeatedly expressed their displeasure on the Android GUI. This continues to be a creation of unsuitable and non-optimized for tablets. And although they do not cease to be similar to smartphones, their role is different from the bare, we do not only have a larger screen, but the device that will be able to replace our laptop. And here we return to the issue of Samsung – has created adequate for this size personalization, Magazine UI , which came with the latest tablets brand, in return for which Google instead take a good example – accused Foch, that’s very similar to Windows …
