According to the study for digital banking provider Intelligent Environments, Android has just become the most dominant smartphone in the United Kingdom. Based on the research made, 28% of smartphone users own an Android rather than iPhone and BlackBerry that have totals of 26% and 14% respectively. Android just dominated the iPhone and BlackBerry with more than four million Britons over 18 years old using it. Beat that!

The battle for smartphone supremacy is already beginning to feel like one of those blowout sporting events where it’s just about pointless watching. It has been already a trend for quite a while now.
