As we reported before, over 900 million Android-powered smartphones have been activated since the platform’s debut in 2007. According to a report by Strategy Analytics, Samsung captured 95% of Android’s profit in the first quarter of 2013.
The report states that Android made $5.3 billion dollars in the first quarter, with Samsung making $5.1 billion off Android-powered handsets in that same time period. That comes to 94.7% of the profit share, and those figures don’t include tablets. While some question Samsung’s tactics, such as using all plastic hardware and producing multiple phones every year, something is clearly working for them.
