HTC and Samsung are not among the ten most popular mobile, according to the Norwegian company

    In November of this year, Opera Software released statistics on mobile Internet over the past year.

    Among other data, this report shows a steady increase in the number of users of the mobile version of the Opera Mini browser: in the Latin American region, in East Asia, in Africa. But the last part of the report is of more interest - it lists the top 30 mobile sites and mobile phones based on data from November 2009 and November 2010:



    As you can see, the top 10 mobile devices include 9 devices from nokia and one apple. It is noteworthy that the phones of other well-known manufacturers were not included in this list.

    Who are they, the most popular mobile phones for surfing 2010?


    Analysis of the average cost from Yandex.Market gives us the following histogram of prices for “top-end” devices minus a ghostly iPhone:



    It should be noted that two devices (they have the lowest price on the chart) have a resolution of 128x160 pixels, i.e. about twice as much as a standard live avatar

    The most expensive ones were released 3-5 years ago: N70, the most expensive - 2005, 6300 and 5310 - 2007 (the year the iPhone entered the market)

    Based on this, it can be concluded that among the vast majority of mobile Internet users, the number of “advanced” users with modern “smart” smartphones is vanishingly small. Undoubtedly, there are many much more convenient devices for mobile surfing on the market, but they are in demand only among a narrow layer of technologists who are not noticeable against the general background.

    However, these conclusions are not true for the United States , apparently, American mobile phone users have long forgotten that mobile devices are divided into smartphones and ordinary phones:
    1. Apple iPhone
    2. LG VM265 “Rumor2”
    3. BlackBerry 8520 “Curve”
    4. BlackBerry 9700 “Bold”
    5. LG VM510 “Rumor Touch”
    6. BlackBerry 8330 “Curve”
    7. Samsung SPH-M810 “Instinct S30”
    8. BlackBerry 9630 “Tour”
    9. BlackBerry 8530 “Curve”
    10. BlackBerry 9000 “Bold”
