Blancco Technology Group announcedReport, The failure rate of Android terminal in the first quarter of 2016 (January to March) was 44%, which was nearly twice as high as 25% of iPhone. Also, 43% of the malfunctioning terminals are Samsung terminals, followed by manufacturers such as Motorola (14%) and Lenovo (12%). Breakdown by model is Galaxy S6 (7%), Galaxy S5 (6%), Lenovo K3 Note (6%), and so on.


On one iPhone, it is said that 25% of the total breakdown occurred. The highest percentage is 25% of iPhone 6, followed by iPhone 5s (17%), iPhone 6 Plus (14%) and so on. A relatively new model accounts for the top, but this is not necessarily because "the new model is more problematic than the new model" because it also depends greatly on the market share of terminals on the market.


Comparing failure rates by region, it is 55% in the Asian region, and more than half of all terminals are experiencing failure. On the other hand, it is known that the breakdown rate is 35% for Europe and 27% for America, which is about half of Asia.


For this reason, in the report, while using Google's Android OS as the base, each manufacturer's unique specificationsfork(Independent) OS is being used as an operating system. In addition, one third of Android terminals said that being used as the platform before 2012 is also a cause of increasing the failure rate.
