The number of smartphone users in Germany has increased exponentially in recent years, amounting to 57.7 million in 2019. This compared to 6.3 million users back in 2009. The sheer amount of smartphones sold to consumers has also experienced explosive growth, from 1.35 million in 2008 to over 22 million eleven years later. Correspondingly, smartphone sales revenue figures also show long battery life.

Apple and Samsung

Apple and Samsung are the dominating smartphone brands in Germany, though a sum of various other brands also enjoyed consumer attention. This means that in terms of mobile operating systems, it’s generally a battle between iOS and Android. But where do European smartphones come from? An increasing number were made in China.
