Sales of mobile phones will reach 1.9bn units in 2014, according to Gartner figures, up 3.1 per cent from last year.
Smartphones account for 66 per cent of those sales, a proportion Gartner predicts will rise to 88 per cent by 2018.
Even more impressively, 48 per cent of the total 2.4bn computing devices sold this year will run Android – and by next year, with a predicted 1.4bn sales, Android will be bigger than iOS, Windows, Mac OS, and all other computing platforms put together.
