Android And iOS Still Lead In Smartphone Market Share, But The Race For Third Rages On

Nielsen released another of their periodic looks at the U.S. smartphone market today, and aside from the revelation that two-thirds of U.S. phone purchasers went for smartphones in Q2 2012, the results are as you'd expect. Android still leads the pack in terms of pure penetration -- as of this past June, it accounts for 51.8% of smartphones in use (up from 50.4% in Q1 2012) with Apple's iOS right behind it at 34%. Don't feel too bad for Apple though, as they still have the highest manufacturer share by far (34% in Q2), with Samsung at a distant second.
