Google announces 200 million Android devices activated, 550,000 every day
These days companies can’t just hold an event to launch a new product; they also like to brag about numbers. And at tonight’s Google Music event Google had some pretty impressive numbers to reveal. According to Big G more than 200 million Android devices have been activated to date. That number includes both phones and tablets, but given the state of Android tablet sales numbers we have to assume that 195 million or so are smartphones.

Those of you with a good memory may recall that Google announced their first 100 million activations at Google I/O back in May, a mere 6 months ago. So you can imagine a heck of a lot of people have activated Android phones on a daily basis. Google has you covered there also, reporting that 550,000 Android devices are activated every day. To put that in perspective, 3000-4000 new Android devices have been activated since you began reading this post.

Now let's divide this by 20+ android oem's. Oh...Apple still dominates as an individual oem :)

@remix. And now let's divide Samsung smartphone sales into different models in different price ranges, lol. Unless of course you can tell us that all Samsung smartphones that have been released in q3 have all the same specs and have the same prices, just different names, lol.

SGS1 + SGS2 = probably 90% of their smart phone sales for Q3.
Try again.

@530 gemini, HAHA okay so are you going to break down iphones different phone types. 3gs 8gig 3 gs 16gig then iphone 4 and all the different gig types. Just how apple markets different iphones for there different customers and discount there older models. Samsungs GsII and exhibit are marketed for different customers. So if you want to make some kind of scenario to make the iphone the number one cell phone go for it.

@ 530 please think before you type it looks like your head is full of apples

Not about the phone homes, it's about the os.

Thats beacuse apple are the only fish in a small apple pond.
Android on the other hands with 550,000 a day activations is very spread out with many oems talking a proportional share of the overall spoils. Its just the perception that apple is bigger individually over it being the only possible vendor in the os.

But you really can't compare the two on this level. Android is a great platform, but until Google starts making phones on their own, you can compare the amount of Androids to the amount of iOS devices because Google doesn't sell phones and Apple doesn't allow other companies to use their OS.

Sharp as always :D now if many people here understood that it will be better for all of us

And they don't even factor the higher turnover rate in Android lol.

thats.. aaaaa lot of phone in just a few months. Thats 16.5 million phones per month.. every month.. woot. So, should we brag about that? or is anything over 4 million just too much? :)

And that's aaaaaa lot of oem's as well, and aaaaa lot of models, at aaaaa lot of price points, lol.

23. godsarmylds posted on 16 Nov 2011, 19:12 5

So are you complimenting Google for allowing other manufactures to develope products for their OS? Just because apple hasn't wised up and allowed other manufactures to develop products for their OS doesn't mean its an unfair fight. I say win for business model!!

I bet 85% of those are unstable and probably crashes every other day.
