According to a new report, Google’s Android has hit a market share record, as the mobile operating system continued to see growth across the board, while the competitors saw a decline from the year prior. Based on a new analytics report from Strategy Analytics, which was highlighted in a press release and reported by The Wall Street Journal, smartphones running Android accounted for a total of 85% of global shipments, which is an increase from 2013, when Android accounted for 80% of global shipments. The report points to a total of 295 million total units last quarter, which is another increase from the previous quarter: up 27% from the year prior. As stated from the report: On the flip side of the coin, all of the Android competitors saw their market share decline. BlackBerry, for instance, is registering a 0.6% market share, which is down from 2.4% from the year before. Microsoft’s Windows Phone slid to 2.7% market share, down from 3.8% in 2013. And then Apple’s iOS, which was 13.4% in 2013, is now reportedly down to 11.9%. Do you see Android’s growth continuing indefinitely?
