Android OS in Phones

 Android is a mobile operating system developed by Google, and backed by an industry consortium known as the Open Handset Alliance.

As an open source product, Android has also been the subject of third-party development.

Development groups have used the Android source code to develop and distribute their own modified versions of the operating system, such as CyanogenMod, to add features to the OS and provide newer versions of Android to devices that no longer receive official updates from their vendor.

Forked versions of Android have also been adopted by other vendors, such as Amazon.com, who used its "Fire OS" on a range of tablets and the Fire Phone.

As it is a non-proprietary platform that has shipped on devices covering a wide range of market segments, Android has seen significant adoption.

Gartner Research estimated that 325 million Android smartphones were sold during the fourth quarter of 2015, leading all other platforms.

Samsung Electronics, who produces Android devices, was also the top smartphone vendor across all platforms in the same period of time.

iOS Phone OS

iOS is a proprietary mobile operating system developed by Apple Inc. primarily for its iPhone product line.

The device introduced numerous design concepts that have been adopted by modern smartphone platforms, such as the use of multi-touch gestures for navigation, eschewing physical controls such as physical keyboard in favor of those rendered by the operating system itself on its touchscreen, and the use of skeuomorphism-making features and controls within the user interface resemble real-world objects and concepts in order to improve their usability.

In 2008, Apple introduced the App Store, a centralized storefront for purchasing new software for iPhone devices.

iOS can also integrate with Apple's desktop music program iTunes to sync media to a personal computer.

The dependency on a PC was removed with the introduction of iCloud on later versions of iOS, which provides synchronization of user data via internet servers between multiple devices.

The iPhone line's early dominance was credited with reshaping the smartphone industry, and helping make Apple one of the world's most valuable publicly traded companies by 2011.

Windows 10 Mobile

It has the third largest installed base on smartphones behind Android and iOS. Unveiled on February 15, 2010, Windows Phone includes a user interface inspired by Microsoft's Metro Design Language.

It is integrated with Microsoft services such as OneDrive and Office, Xbox Music, Xbox Video, Xbox Live games and Bing, but also integrates with many other non-Microsoft services such as Facebook and Google accounts.

Windows Phone devices are made primarily by Microsoft Mobile/Nokia, and also by HTC and Samsung.

In January 2015, Microsoft announced that its Windows Phone brand will be phased out and replaced with Windows 10 Mobile, bringing tighter integration and unification with its PC counterpart Windows 10, and provide a platform for smartphones and tablets with screen sizes under 8 inches.

Windows Mobile smartphone series has had poor adoption, that also led to a decrease in third-party applications, and some vendors ended their support for Windows Mobile altogether.

As of 2016, Windows 10 Mobile global market share dropped below 0.6%.
