"All of Google’s marketing clout hasn’t been enough to reduce Samsung’s total dominance of its Android platform. The latest data from Localytics estimate that Samsung devices now account for 63.3% of all Android devices in the entire world,a dominant share that has left rival manufacturers far behind. All other major Android vendors are stuck with single-digit market shares including HTC (6.5%), LG (5.9%), Sony (5.6%) and the Google-owned Motorola (5%). What’s more, Samsung devices account for the top 7 most popular Android devices in the world, led by the Galaxy S III and Galaxy S IV flagship smartphones. The only non-Samsung devices to crack the top 10 most popular Android devices are the HTC One and the Motorola Droid RAZR. Localytics’ chart breaking down Android market share follows below."

The complete story including tablets:


Across Fonblets and Phablets Samsung Has 63% Share of all Android Mobile Devices
"There’s constant talk of fragmentation in the Android device market, but one thing is clear: Samsung dominates. Samsung currently has a 63% share of all Android mobile devices, including smartphones, phablets, tablets – and even “fonblets” – a term Samsung coined during its Analyst Day when it announced that 100 million Galaxy S and Note phones will ship this year."


"In fact, Samsung controls the aggregate of all other manufacturers by a ratio of nearly 2:1. HTC, (the manufacturer of the popular HTC One phone series) and LG come in second and third, respectively. All together, HTC, LG, Sony, Motorola and all others make up less than 37% of total marketshare.

Samsung Owns Smartphone Marketshare, Strong in Tablet Device Marketshare As Well

Samsung’s strength comes from the popularity of its smartphone models, where eight out of the 10 most popular Android smartphones are manufactured by Samsung."



"As it turns out, Samsung’s Galaxy S series is not only Samsung’s most popular smartphone series, but it also makes up the top three most popular Android smartphones overall. According to our data, the only non-Samsung Android phones to crack the top 10 are the HTC One and Motorola’s Droid Razr, which make up only 1.3% and 1.1%, respectively, of all active Android smartphones.

When analyzing tablets, we found that Samsung represents five of the top 10 active Android tablets, but these five Samsung tablets account for 53% of all Android tablets. Especially impressive is the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 series, which accounts for almost 40% of all active Android tablets. Overall, Samsung’s dominant hold on Android devices can be attributed mostly to its Galaxy S and Galaxy Tab 2 series."
