Android rules the worldwide smartphone market when it comes to market share, and its dominance in China could have a lot to do with that. At the end of the first quarter of 2013, Google’s platform claimed a whopping 51.4% share of all smartphones owned in China.

Huawei has begun teasing its new flagship Ascend P6, an Android-powered smartphone that “will WOW all consumers,” on its official Facebook page. The company doesn’t give away any information regarding the handset’s specifications, but it does plenty of boasting about its build quality.

Android doesn’t look like it’s about to lose any of its market share to competing platforms any time soon. During the first quarter of 2013, Google’s platform powered a whipping 59.9% of all smart mobile devices sold as total shipments hit 308.7 million units.

Apple’s iOS, on the other hand, was installed on just 19.3% of devices — despite the success of its iPhones and iPads.

While smartphone have really taken off since Apple launched the iPhone back in 2007, believe it or not, traditional feature phones have remained the biggest sellers worldwide. That was until the first quarter of 2013, when smartphones out-shipped feature phones for the first time ever.

Of the 418.6 million cellphones sold during the first three months of the year, 51.6% of them were smartphones, according to new figures from IDC.

I’ll bet that ever since the unveiling of Samsung’s latest flagship phone, competitors have been hard at work on developing new devices that can beat it — at least in terms of features and specifications. One of those competitors could be Huawei, who is rumored to be working on a new flagship phone specifically to compete with Samsung’s latest offering.
