Android share grows
Android grows

Android casinos are gaining in popularity according to the Q3 2012 results, depicting an increase in Google OS’s market share.

Android-powered smartphones make up 72.4 percent of all mobile casino gambling devices sold in the third quarter of 2012. iOS is second, but a very distant second with only 13.9 percent of the global smartphone market share.

Android casino tools managed to achieve a very impressive increase of almost 20 percent in just one quarter. Back in Q2 2012, Google OS’ share was 52.5 percent. Impressive features, relatively affordable price and general popularity of the Android-powered devices played a very significant role in the increase.

Samsung solidified its position as the number one mobile manufacturer in the world now commanding almost 30 percent of the total smartphone market. This result came after the Korean giant sold almost 100 million mobile casino games tools in Q3 2012. Such a figure was achieved mainly at the expense of Nokia, which saw its market share decrease 5 percent year-on-year.

The holiday season is upon us and we should see Apple taking back some of the lost market share. Experts suggest that many Cupertino fans saved their money to purchase the iPhone 5 come Christmas. Additionally, Apple plans to extends its flagship’s availability to more countries in Q4 2012, naturally expecting the market share to increase on the overall basis.
