There is no certainty that Apple can hold on to the lead in these countries,
given that the last year certainly wasnt great for Apple in terms of web traffic
share. Comparing Q2 2015 and Q2 2016, Apple lost in 18 out of 20 countries we
analysed, including the largest markets such as UK (-10%), Germany (-6%),
and USA (-4%).

Samsung
According to Gartner, Samsung is the worldwide leader in terms of sales
with over 24% market share. This is reflected in our web traffic stats which
show that Samsung devices generate a lot of website visits in every country.
Compared to Apple, Samsungs share is more evenly spread across the globe
with the exception of Japan where some Samsung devices are branded by
mobile operators which may skew the results. In Q2 2016 Samsung was the
most popular in Egypt, Germany, Saudi Arabia, South Africa and Turkey.

Samsungs web browsing share grew significantly during the last four
quarters. We noticed the largest rates of growth, exceeding 10%, in France,
South Africa, Canada, UK and Australia. The only two countries where
Samsung lost between Q2 2015 and Q2 2016 were Saudi Arabia and Egypt.

LG
LGs web browsing share is much lower than for the leading manufacturers
which is probably related to the sales figures. According to Gartner, LG was listed
among the top 5 phone makers in 2014 but lost its position the following year to
Xiaomi. In terms of web traffic, LG is most used in Mexico, Poland, Argentina,
Brazil and Turkey. Interestingly, the Korean manufacturer has a relatively large
share in the USA at over 6%.

What LG lost in terms of sales is visible in terms of how its web traffic share
dropped during the last four quarters. Between Q2 2015 and Q2 2016 LG lost
some share in large markets such as France, Spain and Germany.
