According to a recent study, Google’s Android mobile phone OS has now taken 52% of the world’s smartphone market. The increase in Android’s market share is very impressive considering the fact in that during the third quarter of 2010, the OS enjoyed only 25.3% market share. According to research firm Gartner, the increase in Android’s market share means that Android has leapfrogged its nearest rival by over 60 millions smartphones.

Nokia’s Symbian which was Android’s closest rival saw a drop of nearly 20% as compared to the same time during last year. Symbian grabbed a market share of 16.9%. Even Apple’s iOS also saw a drop in market share, though it is quite marginal. iOS grabbed 15% of the market share down from 16.6% a year ago. Apple will not be too worried about the drop because most of the consumers were waiting for the launch of iPhone 4S.

However, the study showed that Canadian mobile phone manufacturer Research in Motion (RIM) has lost over 4% of the market share and now sits on just 11%. The reason cited for RIM’s fallen share it is loss of favor in the US market.
