The Samsung Galaxy S 2 is the number one popular smartphone in the UK, followed by the iPhone 4S, Samsung Ace, HTC WildfireS, HTC Desire S, Samsung Galaxy Y, Nokia Lumia 800, iPhone 3GS 8GB and the Sony Ericcson Arc S Black.

In The USA Apple recovered its position of number one in the Q4 2011,not only thanks to the iPhone 4S but for the iPhone 3GS with a lower price. Apple knows they have to keep the brand presence in the market with before models as Samsung did with the Ace and Galaxy Y, reason why Samsung is number one for the full year 2011, followed by Apple.

The uSwitch.com Mobile Tracker, which ranks the UK’s most popular handsets based on live searches and sales, shows that the iPhone 4S still has not managed to garner the same level of popularity as the Galaxy S II for the ninth consecutive month.

Samsung has leveraged the Android mobile operating system to assault the market with a range of smartphones to suit all wallets, from entry-level to high-end that give the best competition a run for their money.”

Samsung’s rise is forcing Apple to continue offering older models to keep ahead. While Apple sold four million iPhone 4Ss within three days of launch, its return to top spot was partly driven by continuing to offer the iPhone 3GS – launched in 2009 – at rock-bottom prices.
