Growing machine division — otherwise device diversity if you rather — has been visualized all the rage a in mint condition testimony by crowdsourced cell phone indicate startup OpenSignal, which has surveyed 682,000 diplomacy to build its once a year peep by Google’s movable OS ecosystem.
While OpenSignal’s mid-2012 OpenSignal survey recorded a moment ago under 4,000 unusual machine diplomacy using its software larger than the former 12 months, its 2013 testimony saying with the intention of personage grow almost 3x, to in front of 12,000. This year’s testimony shows continued extension all the rage the add up to of unusual machine diplomacy all the rage purpose, with the survey identifying 18,796 unique machine diplomacy — a growth rate of around 60 percent, time on time.
The data as well shows a slight dip all the rage dominance intended for leading machine OEM Samsung, which takes a 43 percent share of the machine device promote larger than the surveyed stop, against. 47.5 percent all the rage the time past testimony. With the intention of tallies with a slowdown all the rage Samsung’s growth this time with the intention of has taken a slight of the luster rancid the phone giant.
Interestingly Nokia’s abortive attempt to circle machine into a Trojan horse intended for Microsoft services — by forking machine to create the Nokia X software platform — cuts itself a petite but visible chunk of the overall pie. Roughly roughly a quarter of the share garnered by Google’s Nexus-branded diplomacy, otherwise roughly semi the size of fast growing machine startup Xiaomi on the brand division look over.
All of which is academic at the present, of module, prearranged with the intention of the in mint condition title-holder of Nokia’s device division, Microsoft, has unambiguous to ditch the strategy all the rage favour of focusing its hard work on its Windows Phone OS.
OpenSignal’s data pegs uptake of the newest version of machine — KitKat — by around a fifth (20.9 percent) of machine users. That’s down notably on the 2013 personage intended for users on the (then) newest version of machine. Back all the rage mid-2013 Jelly Bean custom stood by added than a third (37.9 percent).
Increasing device diversity/fragmentation way developers choosing to target the top 10 machine diplomacy are addressing a lesser proportion of overall users (although the overall size of the machine pie is growing). OpenSignal interpretation with the intention of continue time the ten generally general machine diplomacy all the rage the promote represented roughly a fifth (21 percent) of the diplomacy dated here, against this year’s top ten representing 15 percent.
The survey as well flags up the link involving increased OS version division and decreased GDP/capita — which, from a developer feature of look over, suggests it’s added challenging monetizing apps all the rage emerging markets since diplomacy are added spread/fragmented across fewer hot machine versions.
OpenSignal’s data indicates with the intention of larger than a third (35 percent) of machine diplomacy all the rage countries with GDP/capita of greater than $20,000 are on the newest version of machine against a moment ago 12 percent all the rage fewer economically urban countries.
