In 2015, China will account for 26.5 percent of all smartphone shipments, compared to 17.8 percent in the United States, according to a forecast by the International Data Corporation, a research firm. China has surpassed the United States in smartphone sales in the past.

What’s driving the spike in China? Cheaper China Android Smart Phone priced below $200, like those made by Huawei, according to IDC. Apple’s iPhone has also been a big hit among Chinese customers — during Apple’s fiscal second quarter, sales of the iPhone there accounted for 20 percent of the company’s revenue. However, over all, Android phones are outselling the iPhone by about eight times in China, according to Mr. Restivo, which you would expect because Google’s operating system is available on a wider array of products at lower prices.

Android smartphones users often complain about poor touch response even if they are using an expensive high end mobile phone powered with latest android operating system. There could be several reasons why the phone touch screen is not that much responsive as it should be which I shall discuss later in details. But it is also a fact that over the period of time, hardware technology is improving which is resulting into better and reliable mobile touchscreens with great features. So much reliable that if you hammer the screen and crack it, there are chances that shattered screen will respond to your finger touches.

China’s Beyond of the United States in smartphones doesn’t mean sales here are grinding to a halt, says Ramon Llamas, a senior research analyst at IDC, in a statement. Smartphones already account for the majority of phone sales in the United States, so a slowdown was expected, he said.
