According to data from StatCounter, Nokia’s Series 40 continues to control 37.04% of the mobile OS market in Nigeria – a massive drop from its 45.93% in 2013. Android currently has 23.06% of the mobile OS market-share, against 10.05% last year, representing a 13% increment.

Last year, Android was the 4th most popular mobile OS in Nigeria, it has jumped to second position this year and it wouldn’t be too long before it claims the top position.

In Africa, the story is however different. Android is significantly the biggest player in the mobile OS war, representing 37.20% while Nokia’s Series 40 has 24.40% market-share. In 2013, Nokia’s Series 40 accounted for 32.26% while Android pulled 20.34%.

Globally, Android dominates over 80% of smartphone shipment and from the numbers, Samsung accounts for about 70% of the Android market-share.

iPhone should better start making phones that are pocket friendly cos, za outcome won't be nice pah with this statistics showing Android soaring higher as the year passes by.

I have updated my OS version. YES!!! The gestures are working perfectly. to those who think it is not working, you have to go to settings to enable it.
It is called wake gesture. so when the screen is off, instead of pressing the unlock button, all you need to do is draw whichever gersture you want and the application will open. for example, if you swipe down, it will open the PHONE app so you can make a call faster. i set drawing C to open the camera app. you can have as many as about 10 gestures. (i didnt count.)

now this is another plus. The OTA update is probably the best thing about this device so far when compared to most other android devices.

Go update yours and enjoy.
oh.. and i am talking about the INFINIX ZERO phone. Kitkat gives the best android experience ever after using Gingerbread, honey comb and jelly bean. Cant wait for Android L. tHANK GOD this phone c
has OTA updates.

I see no point in ur post. Search tru my NL posts & quote any one I posted relating to cheat.
The question is simple, just tell me what you do or run on your iPhone that my Android can't do.

I don't think we need to allow sentiments becloud our sense of judgment..

iOS is better than Android.. It performs better and doesn't require much RAM for processing.

Ever wondered why iPhone 6 still uses 1 GB RAM, when we have Android phones stacking 3 GB RAM into their machine.?

Android runs on a 32-bit based chip, but iOS 7 and 8 runs smoothly on a 64-bit chip.

The iPhone 6 uses Apple’s latest A8 chip which is capable of 25% more processing power than the A7, and can equally deliver up to 50% faster graphics, taking gaming on the iPhone to an entirely new level...
