“Filipinos have spoken and they have chosen Android,” said Smart chief wireless advisor Orlando Vea.

“We have the widest selection of Android devices in the Philippines and we are proud to offer the best services alongside these best devices on the country’s best network,” he added.

Vea alludes to the fact that Smart has taken keen interest in an April 2012 study by research and analytics firm GfK, which states that the Google-owned mobile operating software (OS) now powers most smartphones in the country with a commanding 82.2 percent market share.

The critically acclaimed OS enjoyed a near threefold rise from 2011, officially dethroning a long-time market leader and competitor for the first time in history.

The GfK study further reveals that despite average smartphone prices being pegged below P7,500, close to 95 percent of these are HSPA+-capable similar to more expensive handsets.

“Smartphones have come a long way, but for us to realize our vision of putting the power of the Internet into the hands of every Filipino, we will need to be more aggressive,” Vea said.

“We believe that Android will help us lead the charge,” he added.
