Galaxy S III is the most used Android device, as Samsung grabs 8 of top 10 spots
Samsung Galaxy S III pushed Galaxy S II to the second stop to take the Android crown in January 2013, report Localytics. Galaxy S III is now the most popular Android device, as Samsung continues to rule the top devices with devices in eight out of top ten spots.
It is looking more like Samsung Galaxy vs other platforms than Android vs other platforms. Amazon and Motorola were the only two manufacturers to crack the top ten with Kindle Fire and Droid RAZR respectively. Surprisingly, HTC, LG or Sony is nowhere to be seen. All three companies really need to get their act together otherwise it is not long before Samsung is easily ruling not only top ten but also ten 25.
Kindle Fire continues to top the Android tablets, but despite all the success Nexus 7 is not in top ten and KF is followed by Samsung’s 7-inch Galaxy Tab 2.

HTC Butterfly vs Samsung Galaxy Note II vs Galaxy S III
HTC Butterfly has landed in the country and this HTC flagship (until M7 launches) will be directly competing with Samsung’s Galaxy Note II and Galaxy S III smartphones. Sony’s Xperia Z is still over a month away and Xperia Ion isn’t really a direct competitor to Butterfly.
Priced at INR 45,990, HTC packs quite some goodies, but would it be able to topple the Note II or Galaxy S III in the country. If we put the pricing aside for a moment, HTC does leave Note II and S3 behind in some departments including the obviously better display.
Butterfly packs a 1080p resolution Super LCD 3 display, which on any day is better than 5.5-inch or 4.8-inch 720p displays on Note II and S III. Even the S4 Pro processor leaves behind Exynos 4412 in benchmarks, however we are yet to see the real world performance of Butterfly, so jury is still out on that front.
