comScore, nota società di analisi di mercato, ha pubblicato ieri i risultati dell’ultimo report per quanto riguarda le quote di mercato degli smartphone negli Stati Uniti, monitorando un periodo di tre mesi, da marzo a giugno.
In questa finestra temporale l’indagine ha rilevato che 234 milioni di americani dai 13 anni in su, possiedono un dispositivo mobile, e Samsung è risultato il produttore con la maggior quota di mercato detenendo il 25.6%, seguito da LG (non l’avrei mai detto 😀 ) con il 18.8% di share. Apple detiene il 15.4% mentre Motorola e HTC hanno rispettivamente l’11.7% e il 6.4 % di share di mercato.
Dal report si evince anche che 110 milioni dei 234 milioni di dispositivi mobili usati in USA sono smartphone.
Gli smartphone con sistema operativo Android, tengono la testa con il 51.6% di share, seguito da iOS con il 32.4%, RIM con il 10.7%. I fanalini di coda sono invece gli smartphone con Windows Phone e Symbian che detengono rispettivamente il 3.8 % e lo 0.9%.
C’è anche una interessante statistica sull’uso degli smartphone degli americani, i quali sono avidi utilizzatori della messaggistica e nello scaricare applicazioni, mentre usano molto meno giocare e usare i social network.
Vedremo se con l’introduzione del nuovo Windows Phone 8 e il nuovo iPhone 5, si creeranno sostanziali modifiche a questi dati, anche se certamente Google non resterà a guardare.
Di seguito il press release originale di comScore:
