U.S. investment bank needham analyst Charlie Wolf (charlie wolf) in a research note, android's growth is no longer come from Samsung, but from the production of low-priced products, non-famous Chinese smart phone manufacturers. Wolf said in the report, Samsung android market share has stalled at 40%. Beginning last year, the "Other" android manufacturers share has grown from 10% to 25%. , Despite the popularity of smart phones in developed countries slow down, but Android continues unabated. This period, Android smartphone market share in Europe was 70.4 percent, compared to 61.3% in the same period last year increased by nearly 10 percentage points. Apple's iPhone market share in Europe was 17.8%, while the share of Windows Phone mobile phone is only 6.8%. In the Android camp, Samsung is still the most successful manufacturers, European markets sold every two Samsung smartphones have a close signs. However, other Android manufacturers are force to selling in Europe, Sony's new machine Xperia Z for example, the survey showed 38% of this model is Samsung buyers have a user. In China, Android smartphone performance is equally strong. In the past three months, Android smartphones in China's market share exceeds 70%. In the United States, Android phone market share during the period was 52%, higher than the 49.3% in the same period last year. iPhone market share was 41.9%, while the share of Windows Phone mobile phone 4.6%. BlackBerry's relatively poor performance in the European market share fell to 2.5 percent, the U.S. market share of only 0.7%. Wolf also for the "other" android manufacturers made the explanation: "Most of these companies are located in China, with low-cost, low-end android phone into the market, not much more expensive than feature phones in fact, most of these sellers are cheap smart phone as a feature phone to use. " This smart phone market has the following effects: 1, for Samsung, this is further evidence that the company is facing the same problem with Apple. It has reached saturation point. Overall, Samsung's smartphone business is still growing, but growth is slowing, while Samsung's high-end market is already saturated. 2, Microsoft through the low-end market to attract new users, but in unknown vendors aggressively promoting ultra-cheap android phone, the plan becomes extremely difficult. Nokia has $ 150 smart phone, which is very cheap, but still higher than the "other" vendors twice as expensive. 3, if the low-end users to use smart phones as feature phones, android market share would not make much sense. Unless Google can find ways to attract these users to download applications and search the web, or to attract these users will not have much value. 4, Apple, cheap iphone should not be positioned too low. Apple can not compete in the low-end market, so it may be sold at low prices in the end iphone Apple Laptop batteries
