In the latest stats from Analysys International, it reveals that 90.1% of smartphone in China are running on Android. Then Apple's iOS with 4.2% and Symbian with 2.4% only. These numbers do not include those unofficial devices that purchased from other countries.
In China, there are multiple brands of smartphone that popular. For examples - XiaoMi, Lenovo, Meizu, Coolpad and Oppo. You might never heard them before or very seldom heard them after all. But they are really popular in China.
Due to the large population, these companies no need to ship their devices overseas as focusing on its local market already generated enough profits.
Since the numbers are not included those unofficial devices, so the numbers might be not so correct. There are huge numbers of people purchased iPhone from neighbour Hong Kong. The 4.2% might only represents the total of iPhone activated at China Telecom.
China definitely is a huge pie for all manufacturers. Thats why Apple eager to set up partnership with China Mobile for the iPhone 5 release. China Mobile is the current world's largest mobile operator in terms of subscribers.
