List of the most popular devices in the USA and EU on which it is necessary to test mobile applications (translation of the article)

imageWe are in a situation where thousands of different smartphones under hundreds of brands are represented in global markets.

Some of them are familiar to us, and some we see for the first time. But this does not mean that A- or B-brands are represented and popular in absolutely all markets. According to Pareto Law, only 5-7 devices / brands are occupy up to 80% of the market in a particular region.



Preface from the translator:
Colleagues, due to the number of hype in the comments, I want to clarify a few points:
1) This is a translation of the article;
2) I deliberately left everything as it is in the original (I did not make corrections to several inaccuracies, I did not write conclusions, I did not leave comments), because it will no longer be a translation .;
3) If you think that something is missing or you want to improve the material, you can write a comment below (on the case), or contact the authors of the original source (link below).



This means that when developing and testing mobile applications, there are two main points to keep in mind:

  • Devices that are popular in regions where application launches are planned. These popular devices will be in the hands of most of your real users. And if the build, at the beta testing stage, has not been tested on any of these devices, there are good chances to put a bold cross on the promotion of the application right from the start.
  • Mobile device specification (screen resolution independent of pixel density, etc.).

We have conducted a study and have compiled for you a list of the most popular devices in the United States and European Union markets.

Have a nice test!
