What’s especially interesting here is that the US seems to lack a single overwhelmingly dominant Android phone, although in aggregate Samsung holds a comfortable lead over all other brands. The top 3 entries, accounting for 19.7% of US Android phones, are all Korean.

Versions of Android 4.x make up 61.5% of Android installations we analyzed, an increase on our findings from November 2012, when 4.x had only 46.1% of the overall share. We do see 2.3.6 tenaciously holding on to second place, and 2.3.4 in fifth, but the days of Gingerbread appear to be numbered.
