It's no secret that Samsung is dominating the Android market, but
the margin of its lead might be a bit surprising to some. According to a report from mobile analytics firm Localytics , the Koreans account for eight of the top 10 Android devices in use.
As one can expect, Samsung's latest flagship Galaxy S III and its predecessor Galaxy S II are the top guns, holding a combined share of 17.4%. The mid-range Galaxy Ace is a distant third spot with 3% of the Android market, followed by the Note and the Note II phablets with 2.6% and 2% respectively.
Amazon's Kindle Fire sneaks in the list with 1.7% of the Android users. The tablet is followed by the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 with 1.4% of the Android devices. The other smartphones in the list are Galaxy Y ,Droid RAZR and Epic 4G.
According to the report, Samsung controls whopping 47% of the total Android market share.

becoming too common like Apple
Posted by rikken
No, they're not. Sammy is much more innovative
and they produce phones for a much larger marked, not only for those who can afford a high-end phone
Posted by etaab
They're very common, but for very different reasons than Apples popularity.
Feature wise, Samsung phones are the best all rounder Android phones. HTC, Sony, LG and the rest simply dont put the same effort into their handsets. LG are great at trying to deliver the best chipsets, but then suck when it comes to software and updates. Sony are great at designs and some cool software, but their hardware is always behind the times. HTC are the best of the rest, they actually compete with Samsung but never learn from their mistakes sadly.

Samsung have done an excellent job, especially with the GS2, GS3, GNote, GNote2 and GAce, they have a solid line-up with great specs, the best hardware, great software optimization for the hardware and top notch update support.
Sitting on Android4.1.2 XELLA FW on my GS3 and i simply cannot complain, the software is near perfection, same with my GS2 on 4.0.4, but im going to update it to 4.1.2 as it seems its some how got better with JB, lol.
Posted by Bonovox
I only mean it as in too many Samsung handsets all looking too samey. I just like to be different
I do love what they do but am not a fan of TW the look of it and don't like using 3rd party launchers either
Posted by etaab
I must admit 2012's line up all did look and feel very samey. Personally im hoping they go down the aluminium route this year.

Like they did with the Wave phones

Would be great but I doubt we will see that, atleast not in a Galaxy S model but maybe in a Galaxy Note model we will and thats still a big maybe.
Samsung seem to be putting a ton of money into 5 main things:
-Marketing
-Software (development and optimization)
-Internal hardware (CPU, GPU, Memory chips, antenna)
-Battery tech
-Displays
Build quality and design dont seem too high a priority, their phones are well built and well designed but you can tell they havent put as much effort into those two as they have the other things, so this year I expect more Polycarbonate use, it seems to be cheaper than metal, and also I expect a sort of evolution of the GS3/Note2 designs.
Posted by etaab
Thanks to my new job, i'll be able to buy the next flagship this year, but as always im not convinced until things are announced. If the S4 isnt much of an upgrade other than CPU power i doubt i'll buy one.
Im kinda hoping Nokia release a Windows Phone 808 style 41mp monster phone, just for its camera alone i would fork out a ton of money.
As for aluminium, i think they should go for more premium materials like aluminium. I dont want glass though, like the iPhone 4 / 4S or the new Xperia Z. They're far too easily ruined by a single drop.
The one thing that is annoying me about my S3 at the moment is the battery cover. It creaks when im using the phone for the simple fact that its not held on with all of the lugs from when it was new. About 3 or 4 lugs are missing and have snapped off because ive removed the battery cover many times usually to access the micro SD or sim card. Its easily replaced though.

^ A whole lot of words put together without making any real sense. What I get from what worf1000 has said is that he has a blind hatred for Samsung, and is irritated by all the fanfare for them.
Saying Samsung simply copied and stole is just well, pathetic, as every single company INCLUDING your beloved Sony is guilty in some way or another of "copying/stealing" ideas as you like to put it.
Samsung have done an incredible job with Android, TO THIS DAY Samsung still have the fastest and smoothest Android UI outside the Nexus line, they still throw in the best chipsets with the best GPUs in every new flagship, the best features, the best UI, heck Samsungs are now the best multitasking Androids around thanks to Multiview multitasking, not even the latest Androids such as Htc DNA, Xperia Z etc... Have that sort of multitasking, Samsung also throw in excellent Camera modules, the funniest part is that Samsung never really boast about their phones cameras yet their phones have amongst the best camera hardware, being beaten only by Nokia and being neck and neck with Apple, while Sony struggle to even make an impression.
With all that Samsung have the best all round Androids , covering both heavy users (with the best hardware) and average users (great fluid and fast UI) at the same time, it's no wonder the GS3 and GNote2 have been such a success. Now look at Sony, with two flops, number 1 being the Xperia S, users still waiting for JB, it has dated hardware from the day it was released and its specs were average at best. The Xperia T, number 2, seemed to be well on its way to success but yet again Sonys poor support, and late arrival spoilt it for them, and now the T's JB FW turns out to be quite the rush job with many running back to ICS, it's no wonder Sony are struggling, and explains worf1000s anger, his favorite brand just isn't performing as they should.

You give me a Samsung link, so that they claim it for them self?
“Samsung continues to create superior industry-leading products, content and services,” said Y.K. Kim, president and CEO, Samsung Electronics America, Inc. “We are honored that CEA and the industry have recognized this commitment, and we look forward to demonstrating our latest product innovations at the 2013 International CES.” "
This is no innovation being big also get government support very innovating right?
"Samsung Electronics’ award-winners include products in the TV, home theater system, mobile phone, tablet, home appliance, server, software, and computer component categories. All of Samsung's award-winning products will be on display during the 2013 International CES, which runs January 8-11, 2013, in Samsung booth #12004 in the Central Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center. Honorees will also be displayed at CES Unveiled: The Official Press Event of the International CES from 4-7 p.m. on Sunday, January 6 in the South Seas Ballroom C at Mandalay Bay."
Damn, they have very big mouth those stupid Samsung boys. What award, award they get paid to be choose?
"Many of the winning products will be first unveiled at Samsung’s CES press conference, scheduled for 2 p.m. on Monday January 7, 2013. The following are additional details for some of the award recipients:
Samsung received two Best of Innovation Awards for its 85-inch UHD TV and Samsung Smart TV Camera.
Samsung’s 85-inch UHD TV, the world’s largest commercialized UHD LED TV, boasts life-like picture quality in ultra HD resolution with over 8 million pixels, four times the resolution of Full HD displays. Samsung’s UHD TV uses an innovative enhanced dimming technology and a very high contrast ratio to deliver deep, real blacks and pure whites for greater detail and unmatched picture clarity. This new, cutting-edge TV also offers a powerful and dynamic range of sounds.
Samsung Smart TV Camera supports full HD resolution and enables Smart Interaction features such as Gesture Control and Face Recognition when it is attached to Smart TVs without built-in cameras."
This idea came from Sony first, not samsung Sony came first with the UHD not samsung, they only copy it.
They get a award for stealing ideas from other? A award for stealing is also a award right?
unmatched , man Samsung are the worst about picture quality, the dumbs post i ever read.
"Samsung’s 2013 Smart LED TV 7500 and 8000 Series, as well as its OLED TV were recognized as 2013 Design and Engineering Award honorees.
The Samsung EX2F SMART Compact Camera packs enough punch to impress even the most discerning shutterbugs, with premium image quality and performance, full manual control in a strong yet lightweight magnesium body, and robust wireless connectivity
The Samsung Induction Range with Flex Cookzone makes cooking easier with a flexible cooking surface which accommodates pots or griddles that would not fit on a standard-sized heating surface. It also features a boil sensor which helps eliminate boil-overs by alerting the user or automatically reducing heat to a pre-set level.
The Samsung Galaxy S III is the third generation of Samsung’s iconic and highly successful Galaxy S line of smartphones.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 redefines the tablet experience by offering content creation capabilities with its S-pen, true multitasking with the unique multi-screen capability, and unparalleled performance with a 1.4 Ghz quad-core processor.
Samsung’s TecTiles™ programmable NFC stickers and the TecTiles™ programming mobile application work together to help consumers integrate NFC technology into their daily lives
The Samsung Series 9 Premium Ultrabook combines power and speed with a stunning display and sophisticated design into an unparalleled and amazingly lightweight device.
The Samsung CLP-365W Laser Color Printer is perfect for personal or small-business use with amazing color and wireless capabilities in a compact ergonomic design.
The Samsung NL22B LCD Transparent Display is the ultimate retail product showcase with a 22-inch LCD transparent display case in a single, powerful package.
Samsung’s 2GB LPDDR3 Mobile DRAM Chip is an extremely fast performing memory solution for high-end smartphones, tablets, and other mobile applications. With a data transfer speed of up to 1600 Mbps, it provides optimal overall system performance to mobile device users including supporting full HD video content in real-time."
Sonyericsson was the first with a tranaparant display, samsung always take ideas from others.
Samsung is not the best Laserprinter maker, so this is useless.
Those ram technology is coming from Rambus what Samsung stole from them.
XDR RAM is still Superior.
Stunning display, is that's all to get a award? You call that innovating those stuff?
"
Samsung’s 64GB MicroSD Memory Card is designed to meet the security, capacity, performance and environmental requirements of leading-edge audio and video consumer devices. The memory card can record up to 96 hours of HD video, store up to 60,000 photos in a single session and provide up to 50,000 hours of music. Samsung’s 64GB microSD card generates the highest random speeds in the industry (1,800 random read inputs/outputs per second and 500 random write IOPS)."
Sony has also Memorystick back than and also Sandisk, i bet Samsung steal their information, soon we will read Sandisk sues Samsung over a patent.
Nothing innovating on that, it's already here.
"The Samsung Exynos 5 Dual is the world’s first ARM Cortex A-15 Dual Core application processor. Using 32nm HKMG (High-K Metal Gate) process technology, the 1.7 GHz dual core Exynos 5 Dual brings unmatched performance to leading mobile devices while maintaining low power consumption. Consumers using mobile products with the Exynos 5 Dual will enjoy super fast devices with a beautiful high resolution WQXGA user interface"
Stolen from Qualcom technology at first, before samsung don't make CPU's
Exynos is the worst and overrated architecture from Samsung the copycat.
The rest is just pointless so-called awards.
Give me a real innovating technology please, not what already is.

No, Sony has the smoothest android so far and always be but you love Samsung and don't see the other things.
Put more cores will not help, that's proven years ago and you still lives in a Samsung wet dream.
Multitasking was already in phones, don't play that Samsung was first please. Don't lie please.
Sony struggle because the false competition from Samsung and LG, those get more than 10 years government support and not invest innovation like Sony does. Apple get tough time because Samsung make their phone and Tablads what Identical as Iphone and Ipad was. Nokia is the same argument like Sony has, cheap government supported plastic device by Samsung and soon Chinese will follow.
With all that Samsung have the best all round Androids , covering both heavy users (with the best hardware) and average users (great fluid and fast UI) at the same time, it's no wonder the GS3 and GNote2 have been such a success.

What the best hardware? explain please?
Dude, Sony is only company that make their update by them self to fit and test for it's handset for optimal usage for us, Samsung never do that.
Last time i have faulty Xperia T, it's with care handled by Sony it self, only 2 weeks waiting and i was not the only one.
You really need get a picture what samsung really is.
Posted by rikken
There are no sammy girls fans here, only people who want the best mobile technology offers. You might wanna adress us in a more mature tone if we shall take you seriously
And Sony struggles because they, unlike Samsung and Apple, fail to deliever products the majority of customres want
And Sony does NOT produce the smoothest android, I have had both the Xperia S and Acro S and they were both slow and laggy with average camera quality
And if Sony is, as you claim, the only company who make their own update by them self to fit and test for it's handset for optimal usage for us, then they need to get some assistance ASAP
The CES awards given to Samsung, 117 over the last 4 years, comes from innovation and evolution of technology

@ Tsepz_GP & rikken - this the funny thing. Back in mid January a couple of weeks ago i was flamed royally for daring to go into the Xperia Z thread and having an opinion of which was not as favourable of the Sony phone. For having an opinion i was subjected to abuse and called nasty names for doing so. The deluded people in there asked me to leave the thread and go talk in the Samsung forum. Which i did.
The point being is, people like worf and randomuser, two users who i have absolutely no respect for whatsoever, i literally could not care less about their opinions. They tried to install a dictatorship here on Esato which flames anyone who isnt blindly in love with Sony. If Masseur was still here, i very much doubt their abusive remarks would even be left to remain on this site.
But the crime they accused me of committing, causing upset in the Sony forum, they're doing the very same now. What total hypocritical cretins these people are. They repeatedly leave their beloved Sony section to come en mass into other areas to tell us how bad we are for having our own minds and opinions. They're the forum equivelant of extremist terrorists. I wouldnt be surprised if they PM each other just invading Samsung section, need back up !
It doesnt matter what they say. They never have a single credible piece of information, facts, or opinions that actually make up a decent arguement. They say things like, you're intimidated by the Sony phone. I really am not at all. They say things like, you're a Samsung fanboy. I really am not. They really do not and appear to not be able to understand that some people are able to pick and choose what they buy through research and carefully picking what is right for them. If it just so happens that i chose a product which is also the market leader (by more than a mile), that does not make me a fanboy.
But they cannot understand that.
@ worf & random - you do belong in this forum. Go back to the Sony section and do no post anywhere else.
^
BTW - thats your rule you tried to impose on me, so lets see you do the same. If the tiny amount of intelligence you do possess allows you to understand one thing, try to understand that.

Like i said in your beloved Xperia Z thread, come see me on 1st July with your sales figures of the Xperia Z and lets compare it to what Samsung have by then. And then, on that day, you can come grovelling back in any thread to apologise.
Until Sony then announce their second flagship of the year and you can start your nonesense all over again.

Wasnt this thing about Samsung from the 1990's ?
Wasnt that 20 year ago, when Samsung were a pretty much budget manufacturer, like ZTE etc.. ?
Not that it matters. What they do behind their closed doors, behind the doors of Apple, Sony or any others.. couldnt care less.

Well said
I also chose to buy the phone that offers me the best in terms of specs and UI. For now that is a Samsung, next time it might be a HTC or a Sony. . . . .
Posted by etaab
Put it this way, do you think any phone released this year, 2013, other than Apple or Samsung made will sell more units than the Galaxy S3 ?
No. I very much doubt it. The only phones capable of outselling the best Android phone around will be its successor and its main rival - Apple.
And why ? because Samsungs next phone will be better and not just keeping up.

@ Miss_UK - sorry but i needed to use you as an example as one of the few iPhones owners on here i talk to regularly.
Theres one thing i cannot stand and its childish abuse and bullying of people for their choices. Its going on continually on Esato at the moment and im surprised nothing is being done about it. Have you checked out the Xperia Z thread today ? people swearing at each other just because of one review of their messiah device which clearly points out its far from perfect.
How can people be so stupidly in love with something and quick to defend it when they've not had hands on experience ? And then to bully and abuse people if they dare to disagree ?
@ Sean72 - ive got to be honest ive been a little disappointed in you with some of your comments in that thread however. At one point you were a SGS3 owners were you not ? back then you said you loved the screen etc, but thought the One X's screen was sharper. Your opinion fair enough.
But i did see you refer to the SGS3 as Samsung s**t.. why the big change of heart ?
---------------------------------------------
Like i said earlier in the thread, i dont feel the need to defend Samsung or my phone, the sales figures speak volumes of the better quality phones they produce compared to rivals. But i find it strange how people can so quickly change their minds.
Im just slightly amused reading the Xperia Z thread that now the penny is dropping and people are realising the phone is a very good phone, possibly one of the best Android phones out, but still far from perfect. Ive read the review on GSMa, with a small smug grin on my face i must admit, at how poorly it was rated in various areas. Poor contrast and viewing angles of the screen ? poor loudspeaker ? bad integreation of Jellybean widgets - they dont resize or automatically move out of the way.. ?
And a camera thats still no better than 8mp rivals ? so that still some way off my N8 ? Another disappointing phone from Sony. Bring on their second flagship come Q2 i reckon.

Rikken I ment it as a joke when I saw ur comments
Back there I thought it was funny to add that
I'm really used to the pondering of comments about my device
That I don't take it to heart I own a iPhone can't disagree there
That apple and Samsung have a problem!
But we are just consumers and we should laugh at what there
Doing and not look at which device is better than one another
All devices are beautiful learn to love them ppl
And stop the hatred
A lot of ppl think I hate android I don't know where they
Got this from I've owned android phones.
I just thing HTC and SE OS was nicer then the Samsung
One, Samsung got me angry one a previous model I owned
I guess I shouldn't use that to insult my views
Anyway peace out

miss uk, I find it totally ok that you are happy with your iPhone
, my wife and my daughter both have the 4s and to them it is the perfect phone, no problem there, but I don't like Apple as a company and the way they are behaving

You said "but I don't like Apple as a company and the way they are behaving"
Like what?
I don't like Samsung because they are thief's/copycats/ false competition (government support) and they are liars.
I explain also why i don't like samsung, you don't explain why you don't like Apple behavior, what behavior do you mean with behavior?
I like Apple as a companie because they sues Samsung for their stupid copy past design, Apple got balls and i respect that also Nokia i respect because they know the true nature of Samsung.

The original Galaxy Note is now receiving its Android4.1.2 JB Update: http://www.phonearena.com/new[....]Android-4.1-Jelly-Bean_id39888 ....Xperia S users where y'all at!???
The above makes me realize that Samsung and Sony are in two different leagues, Sony can barely make a stable and well supported phone, while Samsung can release a phone near to perfection and still update it almost 2years after release, to date and still get it right, wonder if Sony will screw over the Xperia Z users to.

Sony has def something to learn from Sammy

@Rikken you tell them Apple fans. @etaab yes i did have the GS3 but it wasn't as AMAZING as i expected. I just find Samsung designs boring though their phones have great specs,speeds and innovation i am just finding phone after phone boring and all looking the same. It's like 'oh it's another Samsung' i am quite happy being back on WP8 with Nokia. My Xperia T was messed up by Sony's incompetent JB update. Anyway bored now

@Tzsep_GP - its funny how many times we say such things as that, but people like worf ignore them and keep posting their nonesense.
How many SE 2011 devices are still being updated to the latest version of Android ?
@ Sean72 - I thoroughly agree, I think my next phone will be a Nokia WP. My Sgs3 I love and I just cannot see any point in upgrading to a 2013 Android flagship yet. I might change my mind with the Sgs4, but I doubt it atm. I really love WP, which is a complete U-turn for me but ive spent lots of time with it this past 6 months and I find it refreshingly simple. I so want a WP 808 !!!

I have found my niche in WP8 and it can only get better. Yes hopefully at the upcoming events Nokia will release a big smasher of a Windows Phone 8 with the best camera

I forgot to mention in my previous post since im posting from my Sgs3, Samsungs designs are nice but yes a little uninspiring compared to sexy square designs of recent years. But i put that down to them wanting to differentiate their devices from the masses. Last year's One X was a better looking phone than the Sgs3 hands down.
But then I dont use a phone for how it looks more its functionality. If its pig ugly like last years Xperia S then only then would it put me off with looks alone.
