Counterpoint Research's quarterly report on smartphone operating systems shows Android continues to dominate globally, with iOS in second place and HarmonyOS in third. Notably, in China, HarmonyOS has overtaken iOS and is expected to grow due to government support for local brands. Despite Android's dominance, it reached its lowest quarterly share in Q4 2024 in the U.S. and India. In India, iPhone sales soared, primarily driven by older models. Counterpoint predicts HarmonyOS will keep expanding its market share due to ongoing subsidies for Chinese manufactured smartphones.
Counterpoint Research's quarterly insights on smartphone OS usage reveal Android leads globally followed by iOS, while HarmonyOS shines in China.
Android achieved its lowest quarterly share in Q4 2024, while Motorola and Google sales helped offset declines from smaller companies in the U.S.
