Samsung remains the top manufacturer of phones used in the U.S. while Google's Android is the top operating system, according to a report released Monday.
Samsung, with its line of Galaxy smartphones, controls the market with 25.7%, which is a slight increase from February to May.
Apple also saw its slice of the pie increase during the time span, going up 1.5% to 15% of the market. Everyone else lost market share.
Second place LG went down to 19.1%, while fourth place Motorola saw a 0.8% drop to 12%. HTC came in fifth at 6.1% after losing 0.2% of the market.
As far as operating systems, Google's Android is still No. 1, moving up almost 1% to 50.9% of the market. Apple stayed firm in second place at 31.9%, increasing its market share almost 2%. Also gaining market share was Microsoft, which saw a small 0.1% increase and now has 4% of the market.
Research in Motion lost 2% of the market and dropped to 11.4%.
The report comes out the same day Mozilla dropped the latest news on its own upcoming mobile operating system. Firefox OS, as its called, will launch in Brazil early next year and follow in the U.S. sometime later. It will be carried by Sprint.
Also notable from the report, which was put out by ComScore, is that almost 110 million people in the U.S. now own smartphones. That was a 5% increase since February, and it roughly means 1 in 3 people in the U.S. own smartphones.
