This document provides a high level analysis of device performance metrics pulled from the Crittercism big data platform for August 2013:
- Top 100 Samsung Android devices (based on app loads)
- Installed base of ~250M (Android) devices
- Total of 10B+ app loads

This document provides a high level analysis of device
performance metrics pulled from the Crittercism big data
platform for August 2013:!
• Top 100 Samsung Android devices (based on app loads) !
• Installed base of ~250M (Android) devices!
• Total of 10B+ app loads!
4. Key take-aways!
Crashes & performance issues affect all devices regardless of app loads,
however Samsung tablets (Galaxy Tab) and “phablets” (Galaxy Note) have the
highest crash rates, 3-4x the crash rate of the best phones.!
Some Samsung devices sold by non-US carriers are experiencing much higher
crash rates than their US counterparts, such as the Galaxy S III in both Japan
and Korea.!
Other “bad offenders” are older models still in use like the Galaxy Y and Galaxy
Ace that were shipped with Android versions as old as Froyo and Gingerbread
(both originally released back in 2010).!
More than 50% of Samsung devices have an average crash rate of greater
than 0.25%; in addition, 10 of the top 100 devices account over 60% of total
usage, suggesting a Pareto distribution of performance issues. !
9. Probability distribution (fitted)!
Probability Distribution (30 day sample for top 100 devices, 10B+ app loads)!
