16 of Top 20 Phones Run Android on Millenniall’s Network

Mobile ad network Millennial Media is out with its report for June and the numbers look good for Android. 16 of the top 20 devices on the network run Google’s mobile OS, keeping Android as the leading OS on the network for the 7th consecutive month. Android also accounts for a 54% impression share, says Millennial.

Other major findings this month include a growth in iOS impressions and connected devices (e.g. iPad, iPod Touch, Samsung Galaxy Tab, etc.).

Apple

Millennial says that Apple is still the leading device manufacturer on its network, representing 30% of the Top 15 Manufacturers impression share. The iPhone is also still the number one phone on the network with 16% of the impression share.

iOS impressions (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch) grew 18% quarter-over-quarter, while Android impressions grew 11%.

Samsung

Samsung grew 10% month-over-month, and is the number 2 manufacturer for the 5th consecutive month. The impression share from the Samsung Nexus S more than doubled last month, moving the phone into the #4 spot on the Mobile Phones chart.

HTC is in the #4 position on the Top Manufacturers chart, representing 10% of the impression share. The new HTC Thunderbolt showed up on the charts this month, as #19 on the Top Mobile Phones ranking.
