Android OS leading the world of mobile phones

Popular analyst company Nielsen has published its report on the US smartphone market in the second quarter of 2012. 


Statistics show that, Android continues to be in lead it powers 51.8% of all US smartphones.

And 54.6% of the new phones purchased over the past three months were android based. And that was the quarter before the Samsung Galaxy S III was launched.

iOS is the other platform on the rise, with Apple's OS accounting for 34.3% of US smartphones and 36.3% of the newly acquired ones. Expectedly iOS is starting to lose pace in the third quarter of iPhone 4S availability, but things might change change once the iPhone 5 comes out.

BlackBerry is the only other platform on record by Nielsen and it continues its free fall. Blackberry powers only 8.1% of US smartphones, it only managed a market share of 4% with new subscribers. 

Windows Phone only managed a market share of 1.3%. The Nokia Lumia lineup is still struggling to make an impact, covering just 0.3% of the market, despite the heavy promotion of the Lumia 900 by both the Nokia and AT&T.
