In Africa Android OS has been the most popular OS in 2013.
However, Google’s mobile operating system, Android has become the most popular and widely used mobile OS for the first time ever in Africa, according to data from StatCounter.
Recently the Android usage increased by about 10 per cent within the last one year from 17.67% in January 2013 to 27.97% in January 2014, thereby displacing Nokia’s Series 40 on 27.76%, which has been the continent’s leading mobile OS for several years now.
Moreover, Android dominates over 80% of smartphone shipments as there are several smartphone manufacturers that run Android on their devices and has since become the most widely used mobile OS in the world.
Industry analysts believe that the Android increas in Africa could be as a result of the New upgrades from manufacturers such as TECNO, arguably the fastest selling mobile phone brand in Africa.
Android OS is expected to continue growing in its usage in Africa.
