This is surprising given the fact that last year the share was 58.2% Android, Symbian being his great rival, but as we see now virtually no longer used. And if you wonder why the iPhone, its share is only 4.2%, down 1.8 points when compared to 2011.
The oddest thing about all this is that, as you know, the Chinese government tries to block all Google services that can, but it seems that he can do nothing against mobile Android.
