AnTuTu recently released the best iOS devices for October. Now it has released a report on Global User Preferences of Android Smartphone users for Q3 2020. The report includes preferences like display, processor, and android versions they use.
As per the report, AnTuTu says the results of Q3 2020 are based on the backstage data of the company’s ANTUTU V-8 Android App. Further, it puts out a disclaimer that the report reflects the preferences of its AnTuTu users. And it doesn’t have any relation to the performance and preference of the overall Android Phone market.
Display(6-inch+, 1080P)
Beginning with display, it says the old-school 5.5-inch displays on Smartphones are almost outworn now. That’s obvious considering manufacturers are increasingly moving towards 6-inch+ displays except few like Apple. Out of the entire chart, nearly 17.2% of devices have 6.4-inch displays. This is followed by 6.3-inch, 6.5-inch which accounts for 14.7%, and 13.6% respectively.
Not to mention the 6.0-inch size that has a bite of its own but AnTuTu believes that the sizes are reaching a threshold here. Furthermore, the 1080P resolution of the display remains the most popular irrespective of size. Precisely, 19.5:9 and 20:9 aspect ratios that result in resolutions like 1080×2340, and 1080×2400 are the toppers. The former accounts for 35.7% of the entire data while the latter sits at 12.9%.
Processor(Qualcomm, Octa-core)
In terms of processors, Qualcomm leads the pack with a whopping 57.5%, while Samsung, HiSilicon, MediaTek trail behind at 14.9, 14.1, and 12.4% respectively. And Octa-core CPUs dominate the segment with a staggering 95.1% of the market data across segments. Besides, MediaTek’s performance has reportedly increased from Q2 due to the Dimensity SoCs. On the contrary, Huawei’s HiSilicon has taken a hit. And the report says the recent US ban will further dent the percentage but we will have to wait and see what happens.

RAM, and Storage(6GB RAM, 128GB storage priorities)
For RAM, and Storage, AnTuTu says the majority of the data donors who use its app have either 4GB/6GB RAM. Accordingly, the 6GB occupies 34.3% while 4GB RAM is on 27.4% of the total. However, in China, 8GB is the king of the market where 4GB is rarely seen. The report predicts that with LPDDR5 becoming mainstream, the threshold might reach 8GB soon and 6GB will be the bare minimum.
Similarly, charts show that 128GB storage dominates the market with 41.3% whereas 64GB, and 32GB account for 33.2, and 11.8% respectively. If the report is true, the threshold of minimum storage will rise to higher options in the future.
Android version(10 dominates)
Moving on to the important part is the Android Version. The AnTuTu report says that Android 10 devices account for 63.3% of the market. However, lower versions like 9, 8.0, are still out there at 27.7%, and 4.8% respectively. Android 11, despite being out for more than a month now hasn’t hit that many devices. Hence, it is under “others” accounting for 1.8%. That said, Google needs to find a way to bring all the users under one roof for a hassle-free experience.
