According to a recent report coming from market research firm Marketvision, the platform accounted for 35 percent smartphone sales in the country recently, thus becoming the leading mobile OS there.
Google’s Android operating system is accounted for 33 percent of sales, while Apple’s iOS was pushed to the third position with only 30 percent share, it seems.
