Saw a similar report that said iPhones had 20% of the market. So does that mean Android phones make up 78% of the market?
I’m a beginner on Smartphones, but I love my Walmart Special ATT Go Prime (Samsung Galaxy) for $100.

Hopefully, that will bring down the price.

Approximately, yes. Figures vary based on how the data is taken, and vary over time. But I think that’s roughly correct.
Remember that “Android” is an OS, just as iOS is an OS. There are dozens, if not scores, of manufacturers who put Android in their phones. Only one company, Apple, uses iOS. But that means the 78% is comprised of many different companies. Not all “Android” is the same. It’s a highly varied offering, depending on manufacturer.
Microsoft should focus on it’s core business. PC operating systems, and stop venturing into areas where it has no advantage.
Yep.
Who in their right mind would buy a phone from a computer software company?
Or, going back a bit, an MP3 player?
