The American search engine developer can lead the smartphone industry with its Android technology.The international smartphone business has not quite reached peak, but from here growth will come by Oddly, that could prove to be nice for Google. Currently, the American search engine developer has a dominating position in the industry. Its mobile operating system Android powered approximately four –fifth of smartphones delivered in 2015, revealed International Data Corporation. The Mountain View based company already has a developer preview of 2016’s version of the operating system, known as Android N. It is probable that the entire launch will take place in 2016, though the organization is anticipated to display the software during the I/O developers conference in recent times.
Due to the prominence of Android, the European regulatory bodies have sighted the search company, developing some long-time risk. Google’s position may seem less notable provided the expanding signs of unprecedented slump in the smartphone industry. For the initial 3 months, international smartphone deliveries were flat on yearly basis for the first time, reported IDC. Apple’s iPhone suffered from its first-ever decrease during the period. The largest manufacturer of Android phones Samsung also witnessed a fall in the cumulative smartphone sales as weakness from older smartphones have a negative impact on the newly introduced Galaxy S7 device launch, revealed IDC.
That’s a harsh decline for a sector, which is accustomed to a two digit growth. But the phone business realities no longer support rapid growth. Developed states are oversupplied with devices, and a large number of persons who are in position to afford expensive devices like Samsung’s Galaxy S series as well as iPhone currently have them.
So that niche will now mostly be driven by enhancements as well as converting residual feature-phone users. Now, almost four-fifth of the American population is amongst the owners of smartphones, estimated eScore. Still growth is needed in the markets of the developing countries. These include Middle East, Africa and India, to name some. But this kind of growth will be sluggish in nature because of device affordability and network limitations. Yet that bodes still well for the company. Unlike the American consumer electronic maker’s high tech products, the organization has exposure across the price range.
Almost three fifth of the Android powered phones are offered at a price lower than $200, revealed Neil Shah who works at Couterpoint Research. None of the iPhones are offered in that price range unless carrier subsidizes them. So the search engine operator must be in a position to eke out its Android’s growth in a very sluggish market. It does not earn money on devices, but it earns through how it feeds users in its profitable search business as well as other facilties.
