There are plenty of mobile hardware, from those designed to save the most money in the entry range, to cutting-edge hardware for the premium range. However, AnTuTu recently revealed a very curious fact: there is an average Android mobile .
What does this mean? That there are specifications that are repeated much more than the others, giving shape to a very common device on the market. What are those pieces? When we tell you, you will surely think of a specific model, or several, because these are the features that most mobile phones have in 2022 .
The average mobile of 2022 has Android 12, Qualcomm chip, 8 GB of RAM and Full HD + screen
Already entered the Q3 of 2022 and the renewal of the catalog of many companies, AnTuTu decided to analyze the preferences of Android users . The developers behind the famous benchmark took thousands of records from their database to find out what the average Android phone is like in 2022, and this was the result:
- 6.7-inch screen with Full HD + resolution (2400 x 1080 or very close)
- 120 Hz refresh rate with LPTO technology.
- Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 core processor.
- 8 GB of RAM + 128 GB of internal storage.
- android 12 .
As you can see, the trending Android mobile for 2022 is a full-fledged mid-range , although some high-end ones would also enter. This is not a surprising result, since this is the most important niche in the market, but one wonders how many mobiles fit this mold? The answer is clear: there are many, especially if mobile accounts from previous years have already updated to Android 12. Among the newest (released in 2022) you can find:
- POCO F4 5G.
- POCO X4 Pro 5G.
- Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G.
- Samsung Galaxy A73 5G.
MediaTek eats part of Qualcomm’s cake and 60 Hz screens “win”, but there is a trick
Delving a little into the graphs and statistics reported by AnTuTu, we can find some really interesting information.
For example, Qualcomm remains the leading provider of processors in the mobile market with a 65.2% share, but MediaTek has been gaining ground. Currently, MediaTek owns 18.2% of the supply, which is 1.1% more than in Q1 2022. The difference is still large, but it is no secret that the Chinese company has improved its processors a lot and it shows in the trust that manufacturers are giving you. In terms of number of cores, 8-core SoCs are the undisputed kings in Android, with a 98.6% presence.
8GB RAM is present in 38.1% of mobiles , closely followed by 6GB RAM at 27.2%. This reveals a clear trend towards the mid-range, something that is corroborated by checking the internal storage capacity: 128 GB with 48.9% participation and 256 GB with 28.8%.
Regarding the screens, Full HD + panels take the cake with a share of 53.2%, especially if they are 6.7 inches (or close). However, with the screen refresh rate there is an important detail. The statistics put 60Hz panels as the winners with 50.1%, followed by 120Hz with 36.4%, but AnTuTu reveals something: in reality, the trend is 120Hz panels , but the compatibility with adaptive LTPO technology makes many displays run normally at 60Hz to save battery life.
Finally, AnTuTu points out that Android 12 is the absolute winner as software , with a 52.1% market share for Q2 2022. This is a great result, as it shows that the adoption of new versions of Android is increasing and the fragmentation has been reduced a bit. This is something that has been happening since Android 11, whose adoption rate was fantastic, something that Android 12 has traced. The strongest evidence? For Q1 2022, AnTuTu pointed out that Android 11 had 56% of the market, in Q2 it had just 32%, 24% less.
Did any result surprise you? Are you in on the trend? Tell us, what do you think about this AnTuTu data?
