The year 2011 was spent with lots of exciting news in the mobile world. Symbian was heavily involved in the news, a few good and many bad but ending the 2011 statistics show that Symbian OS is not forgotten.
StatCounter on a Web site that compiles statistics on internet only to be consulted by anyone who is interested. One of the interesting facts is the top 8 of mobile operating systems in a time range, which takes into account data from around the world or you can filter only a specific country.
(Picture Top 8 of mobile operating systems in 2011 - World)When looking at the top 8 mobile operating system worldwide in 2011 is clear that contrary to what many thinkSymbian OS continues to lead the ranking above IOS and Android . With nearly 32% of the total this year Symbian is still the number 1 and if we expand the time range we see that seems to stop its descent, this may be due to the launch of Symbian ^ 3 teams earlier this year and its continuing updates throughout the year, even without the new version does not come out officially BELLE NOKIA, but that surely will boost stronger in this fight.
These data may seem contradictory because in everywhere while IOS and Android lead all rankings, but if you look at other aspects will understand why this top is completely valid. To begin we reduce the statistics by continent.
(Picture Top 8 of mobile operating systems in 2011 - North America and Europe)
When you see the data from North America and Europe you realize that the top is completely different, with a large lead by IOS , closely followed by Android and Symbian OS at 4 spot behind Blackberry. These statistics if they match the time in all blogs, surveys, newsletters etc ... and it is because in these regions iOS leadership is obvious and unfortunately Nokia has not learned how to enter and recover the ground lost in those markets that they make available the user a range of smartphones from all brands.
But then how is that Symbian is still the number 1? Simple ... There is a market that is much larger than the previous two and is about ASIA :
(Picture Top 8 of mobile operating systems in 2011 - Asia)The Asian market is the one that kept alive Symbian and who outnumber any other and also in that market leadership is absolute, for this reason that Nokia launches new exclusive models for Asia and for the same reason is they have these giant equipment sales figures as in the Q1 of 2011 with the N8 which sold more than Apple iOS + throughout 2010.
Finally, our market can not forget that although small and somewhat forgotten, because it is still ours:
(Picture Top 8 of mobile operating systems in 2011 - South America) In South America we have no surprises, Nokia with Symbian leads completely as it has for many years in the same proportion as in Asia, followed by those economic motives comprising Manufacturer Samsung Bada OS or operating system that only small teams Java support in the style of Nokia's S40 has been a success for the public who want a simple phone but in a good brand. Third teams are Chinese with unknown operating system but due to its price, such as rice are sold in our countries. If you wonder why Blackberry OS is not listed above is because of this statistic only takes into account the computers that have internet connection and surf the Web, so the Blackberry but in Latin America are widely sold, are only used for chat with the PIN because it is the fashion, but nobody uses them for something different, hence appear in the seventh.
Finally we wish you a Happy New Year and see you in 2012 with many more Symbian OS News
