The Chinese smartphone market has been dominated by Nokia and Motorola since a long time ago. According to an analysis from Telecomtiger.com, the Finnish manufacturer has 69% of the market, while the once great American manufacturer own 20% of the smartphone market in China, they being followed by HTC and Samsung with a small amount of sales. As for operating systems in China Symbian phones have a share of 70%, the followers are Linux and Windows Mobile, but this might change soon with the spreading of the free Android platform. The free operating system from Google has already inspired a lot of local manufacturers, so it might be possible that the shares will be restructured soon in China as well. The Finnish giant plans to expand its Symbian Series 60 product range with additional features and cheaper phones, while Symbian Foundation is already working hard on creating a uniform, open and free platform.
