According to analysts, by the end 2012 total sales of smartphones will rise by nearly 39% - up to 686 million units. The leading platform in the smartphone market with a share of Android will be at 61%, which reaches the peak of its popularity. Its development will largely be explained by steady sales of Samsung.

Share iOS amount to only 19% of the time, analysts say.
«Android retain leadership in the forecast period, while some competitors are trying to expand partnerships with operators (Apple), and others are in transit period (BlackBerry and Windows Phone)», - said IDC Senior Ramon Llamas.
The growth of smartphone sales in 2012 largely due to operator subsidies for the purchase of expensive devices, reducing the average retail price and cost of components, as well as attractive contracts for communications services, according to IDC. In 2016, predicts IDC, mobile phones will make delivery of 2.3 billion units.
