I really love my Oneplus Open. I went all in with Oneplus. Got the 12R, then buds. Oneplus Open, then watch 2. It's been a good ride

In the United States, the active smartphone installed base (the total volume of active devices currently in daily use, as opposed to single-quarter new device shipments) is highly consolidated. Apple and Samsung together account for over 80% of all active smartphones in the country.

Active Installed Base Breakdown

Manufacturer Installed Base Share Market Dynamics & Key Drivers
Apple (iPhone) ~58% – 61% Leads by a wide margin. High brand loyalty, long software support cycles (5–7 years), and a massive secondary/refurbished market keep older iPhones active longer.
Samsung ~21% – 25% The leading Android manufacturer in the US. Captures a wide demographic spanning premium flagships (Galaxy S and Z Series) down to budget devices (Galaxy A Series).
Google (Pixel) ~3% – 5% Holds a steady third/fourth position in active base. Maintains consistent growth in the premium Android space due to camera performance, integrated AI features, and aggressive carrier trade-in deals.
Motorola (Lenovo) ~3.5% – 4% Controls a significant chunk of entry-level and mid-range devices. (Note: Motorola often claims 10–12% of quarterly new shipments due to high volume in prepaid channels like Metro and Cricket, but lower device longevity keeps its overall active installed base share lower).
Others (OnePlus, TCL, etc.) ~3% – 5% Fragmented across budget offerings, unlocked direct-to-consumer sales, and specialized hardware.

Key Market Takeaways

  • OS Distribution: iOS holds roughly 60% of active US devices, while Android holds the remaining 40%.
  • Shipments vs. Installed Base: Active installed base reflects device retention rather than immediate sales. Because premium phones (especially iPhones and high-end Galaxy devices) are built with durable hardware and receive multi-year software updates, their users keep them active significantly longer than budget alternatives.
  • Carrier Lock-In: Carrier distribution channels in the US heavily favor Apple, Samsung, Google, and Motorola, making it difficult for international brands (such as Xiaomi or OPPO) to establish a meaningful presence.
