Nearly 94 per cent of smartphone owners use Android or iOS.
Android is expected to capture 73 per cent of the market share (with more than 1.8 billion users) in 2017, followed by Apple (21 per cent) and Windows (4 per cent).
"Large-screen smartphones are contributing to the decline in tablet users: In metro China and India, 65 per cent and 62 per cent of online adult smartphone users, respectively, have a screen size between 5.0 and 6.0 inch," Forrester said.
India's mobile phone subscriber base has reached the one billion users' mark, according to data released recently by the Telecom Tegulatory Authority of India (TRAI), country's telecom regulator.
