Mobile Web Usage Doubles, Nokia Leads All The Android OEMs Together Combined, Samsung Is Third

Statcounter mobile web usage stats

Smartphones (and some dumbphones) have become an indispensable part of our lives. They definitely have. I can’t imagine being disconnected even for a day. It’s no more an addiction, but need, I believe.

And, Statcounter reports that the total mobile web usage has doubled since the last year. It may still be about 10% of the total web usage, but the speed of growth is quite good.

Here’s some quick analysis of the position of different manufacturers -

  • Nokia continues to lead the way, increased its share from 36% to 38% year-on-year
  • Apple’s share fell by 1%, from 30% to 29%
  • RIM was the biggest loser – its share fell from 19% to 8-9% in the same period
  • Samsung was the biggest gainer, accouting for about 14% of the total usage, up from somewhere around 7-8%

Overall, though, Nokia and Apple both beat (individually) all the Android OEMs combined, so that’s something.
