Android Open Source market opportunities shrinking as Android One becomes viable market contender

Overall smartphone share of the global handsets market is slowing as mobile phone (or feature phone) sales show some resilience through local brands in emerging markets. While ABI Research finds major China-based vendors are continuing to witness solid volume growth, the market region could be on the cusp of a change as Google Android regains momentum and fights back against Android Open Source Project (AOSP) devices. ABI Research estimates that AOSPs' share of the global smartphone market fell to 14% by end of 2015, while Android improved to a commanding 67%.
