You know Android is the king of smartphone when you get numbers like this – a report online shared that the OS from Google is currently holding about 86.2% of the world smartphone market share for the first half of 2016. Trailing way behind is iOS with under 12%.  

Not only the percentage is important, the shipped units number is critical as well. Android shipped 296.91 million units in Q2, 2016 – an increase of about 3 million from the same time in 2015, but way below from Q1 when it saw 325 millions unit shipped. However iOS is still leading the market with profit as it has 95% of the profit in the mobile space.
