ZTE becomes world's 4th largest manufacturer, Android is top OS

31 January, 2011
Last week we did a quick overview of the big players on the mobile market, but it turns out we missed a pretty big one. We thought ZTE isn't a major player in Europe and North America, but the IDC report...

Nokia will be switching to Android soon, so you keep holding onto your beloved Symbian keep defending, Nokia will gift you free cell phones for the rest of your life for supporting Symbian & Nokia no matter how much they struggle...

    I love to argue, 31 Jan 2011Android finally cuts down the Symbian reign.......haahhahah... moreFinally! It was a right move for those companies to drop Symbian for Android. Now they're reaping profits they never had when they were still on Symbian.

        I love to argue, 31 Jan 2011Symbian is open source..... But my point is that if ... moreactually android is THE ONLY thing that manufacturers can put i their phones right now just to stay in the game. It would be a pain for them to create their own OS to rival the likes of symbian and iOS.

        if iOS was open to all (and by that time hitler would come back from the dead and rule the world), i bet manufacturers will be ditching android immediately in favor for iOS

          Nagol, 31 Jan 2011This is not a surprise at all. It's not hard to be the lead... morethat's a dumb argument to make...Android didn't become the top OS just cause it's being used by many companies...the reason why many companies use it IS because it's the top OS out there, way more user friendly & customizable...but if you don't like it then stick to your Symbian, no one's asking you to switch are they?...wait till Nokia switches to Android, then you'll just look & feel dumb for talking shit about Android...it's the top OS & it's a fact now, so quit whining.

              I love to argue, 31 Jan 2011Symbian is open source..... But my point is that if ... moreYou got a point..but you must agree that with only only nokia symbian is still just 2% behind whereas android with loads of vendors is just 2% more than symbian...so if android was that great it would have beat symbian with quite a margin but it didnt so hope you got my point

                This is not a surprise at all. It's not hard to be the leading dominating OS when you're on every brand and network. The fact that Nokia still did very well with 1 OS worldwide still speaks great volumes of Nokia. Android basically cheated their way up top. If Iphone was on every network in the world nobody wouldn't care about android.

                    adkane, 31 Jan 2011android is free for all, symbian belongs to nokia, so is iO... moreSymbian is open source.....



                    But my point is that if Android wasn't good, There wouldnt have been so many manufacturers putting android in their phones....

                        I think android is gonna conquer the smartphone market share. I mean as iphone is not open source as android then android could pass iphone but, nokia will enter the game with Meego so by time elapsing things will be clear.

                            If andoid was so better than symbian, it would have been first a year ago. with so many android phones, it was just a matter of time. Still, too much fragmentation ruins android

                                    I wonder how many other branded phones are made by zte or huawei.

                                    I suspect all of motos androids are chinese made.

                                    iphones are produced in china and so is my SE.
