The company has revealed yesterday that Samsung is the top device maker and Google’s Android holds the position top for mobile OS. According to comscore.com, from July 2012 to September 2012, 119.3 million people in the U.S. adopted smartphones. 75% of the new Android handsets and 26.9 million iOS units were shipped in Q3. However, 26% users adopted Samsung smartphone, 17.7% users adopted LG and 17.5% adopted Apple in this three months period. This massive adopting smartphones has helped the smartphone market in U.S. jumping up from 50% to 51% for the first time.

On the other side based on software, Google’s Android holds the first position with 52.5%, Apple in second with 34.3%, RIM in third with 8.4% and Microsoft in fourth with 3.6%.
