According to the latest data from market research firm Kantar Worldpanel, Google's Android has continued to extend its domination during the smartphone market in the three months ending April 2016. After observing smartphone sales during the time period, the industry watchers believe that Android has held a 76% share of the global smartphone market. That's up 5.8% compared to the same three months a year ago. The authors of the report estimate that most of Android's progress has been made at the expense of Microsoft's Windows Phone. Kantar estimates that 10% of new Android buyers in the time period have switched from Windows Phone.
