No doubt, the hegemony of Android operating systems continue growing massively in the smartphone realm, but that does not mean Symbian to evicted from the throne, they were still in power.
According to Liu Lin, Director of Marketing Strategy Department of ZTE Corporation in Research & Development Center, ZTE in Shanghai, China, though Android is growing rapidly in the last two years especially in European and American markets, but the competition in today’s mobile OS market is fairly tight. The players can not keep quiet and continue to innovate by doing an upgrade version of previous products.
Liu added that in the world of handheld devices there is no necessity to use a particular OS, all released to each vendor. But we do not deny that Android has been chosen by smartphone maker. Symbian is currently predicted still control about 30 percent of the smartphone market. Nokia with Symbian OS is considered still outperformed Android, Apple, and BlackBerry are located in the second layer. According to data collected from various ZTE sources, the next layer of smartphone will be filled by Windows Mobile and Linux.
ZTE predicted the Android market will continue to grow larger than now. No doubt, the Chinese telecommunications vendor is also giving special priority for Google’s OS in order to get a larger portion of its product line-ups. After Android, ZTE next priority will be pinned to Microsoft’s mobile OS was just released, Windows Phone 7.
