Ranked – 4 Most Loved Operating Systems In The World

Bangalore: A study conducted by ChangeWave Research shows us which mobile Operating System is rated as the best one by the users. 4,061 people were surveyed and the results are quite amazing:

The survey looked at customer satisfaction based upon the Operating System consumers have on their Smartphones.

So here are the 4 best operating systems ranked by consumer satisfaction.

#4 RIM- BlackBerry OS: 

The BlackBerry OS which is developed by RIM (Research In Motion) was fourth. Only a quarter of its users were satisfied with its performance. A minor 26 percent of the BlackBerry users stated that they were satisfied with their phone. BB faces stiff competition in the market from Google’s android and Apple’s iOS. With the launch of its new OS “BBX,” later this month, BlackBerry can do some justice to its loyalists.

 

 
#3 Google’s Android!:

Yes, you have read it correctly Google’s Android rates third in the survey with only 48 percent of its users stating that they are very satisfied with their phone. This means that more than half the Android using population feels that the operating system is not up to the mark and needs improvement. This should raise concerns for the Tech giant as the Smartphone market has not yet tilted in their favor yet. It is not a surprise as most Smartphones roll out of production with the older version of the Android called Gingerbread even though upgrades in the software like Icecream Sandwich and Jellybean 4.1 & 4.2 have already been released.

#2 Windows Phone:

The key beneficiary here is last century’s leader in the mobile manufacturing – Nokia. The Finnish manufacturers had announced a partnership with Microsoft on February 11, 2011 making Windows Phone the primary operating system for Nokia, a partnership that they will cherish as 53 percent of the Windows Phone users have stated that they are very satisfied with their phone.

Now it seems clear why the new Nokia Lumia launched with the Windows Phone 8 has sold out. Microsoft will be very satisfied with their effort only behind another giant in this category which has been leading the domain for a long time, Apple.

#1 iOS Apple:

Apple is the clear leader here (no surprise), with 71 percent of the users saying that they are Very satisfied with their phone. As of September 12, 2012, Apple’s App Store contained more than 700,000 iOS applications, which have collectively been downloaded more than 30 billion times and as of June 2012 more than 400 million devices had been sold worldwide. That accounts for a lot of happy users but the surprise package of windows phone raises eyebrows as to how it will grasp the market in the next quarter.
