The first quarter of 2019 has come and gone, leaving us with quite a few new Android smartphones and a lot of anticipation of what's to come later in the year. Ad we've done in the past, we have taken a look at the analytics of the site to figure out which Android smartphones are most popular among our readers. While most people are excited about new smartphones that are coming out, the data we have shows that older devices can still increase in popularity as time goes on. This information gives us insight into which devices people are holding on to the longest, but we can also track how quickly users are shifting to new smartphones as well.
Since our site is geared towards Android enthusiasts and the numbers we are sharing are directly related pulled from reader traffic to our site, we'll be classifying the demographic of users in this report as "android enthusiasts". The percentages will likely look a lot different on general tech or mainstream media sites, but we can only report the numbers that we have.
In this report, we are comparing the data from Q1 of 2019 versus Q4 of 2018. This date range comparison is quite important since it shows how the sales around the holiday season impacted the buying decisions of our readers.
