Here's how Android, iOS, and Harmony OS rank globally
Counterpoint Research reports that Android maintains a 75% global market share in smartphone shipments, while iOS holds 20% and HarmonyOS 5%. Regional data shows significant variations, with Android dominating in India and iOS leading in the US.
Why it matters
Understanding mobile OS market share is critical for developers, advertisers, and hardware manufacturers targeting global consumer demographics.
Counterpoint Research (CR) just released its report about the best-selling smartphones in the world in the second quarter of this year (April to June), but it also revealed how mobile operating systems are doing. The following is based on Q2 smartphone shipment data, so the percentages aren't of devices in use, but of handsets shipped during that specific quarter.
Globally, Android is king with a 75% share, up from 73% in Q1. iOS follows with 20%, down from 22% in Q1. In third and last place is Huawei's HarmonyOS, which has managed to capture a 5% share, just like it did in Q1.
In the US, iOS led with 51%, but Android is getting closer and closer with its 49% share. iOS' biggest share was in Q4 2025, when it hit a whopping 69%.
