The report said that global smart machine shipments have doubled in the third quarter

British market research firm Canalys reported in a recent report that in the third quarter of this year, global smartphone shipments reached 80.9 million, an increase of 95%. The agency believes that the Android platform adapted to users at any level of consumption has once again become the largest driving force in the global market in the third quarter, with shipments reaching 20 million units, an increase of 1309% from 1.4 million units in the same period of last year, and a quarter of the market share. . The latest research report from Nielsen, a US market research company, also pointed out that the Android platform was the first choice for new users of US smart phones in the previous quarter.

Public information shows that in the Chinese market, Android smartphones have recently been released "intensively." Previously, ZTE, Huawei and China Telecom have jointly launched two thousand yuan Android smart phones N600 and C8500. In addition, Huawei has also released IDEOS series smartphones using the Android platform in overseas markets.

The Canalys report also showed that in the third quarter, mobile phones using the Microsoft operating system accounted for only 3% of global smartphone shipments. Chris Jones, the company’s chief analyst, said that with the release of Windows Phone 7, Microsoft’s prospects for the fourth quarter are expected to increase significantly. He believes that the integration of Windows Phone 7 with Xbox Live, Bing, Zune and Office will promote the platform.

Last month, Microsoft’s next-generation operating system, Windows Phone 7, was officially launched worldwide. At the same time, Microsoft also released nine mobile phones that use the operating system and use Qualcomm’s Snapdragon processor. Partners include Dell, HTC, and LG.
