In October-December last year, Russian sites with the installed Yandex.Metrica counter received 64% of the traffic from smartphones to Android. Due to the growing popularity of Android, Yandex is gradually giving back a part of the Google search market, RBC reports .

In 2014, the share of traffic from the Android OS has increased significantly, but other OSs have lost some positions during this time (in the case of Java, Symbian and Bada) or have remained in their previous positions (iOS and Windows Phone).

As for mobile traffic to Russian sites, with the Yandex.Metrica counter installed, last year the volume of such traffic increased one and a half times (from 9% to 15%).
