EVO and Droid line among the top Android devices by traffic

According to research group Chitika, The Motorola Droid is the top Android device based on traffic coming through their network. Next up is the EVO, followed by the Droid X and the Incredible. 16% of the traffic comes from 4G devices, which shows that 4G is surging in popularity. As more and more 4G devices become available, I would expect this number to increase substantially.

Also, here are the top 20 devices with a more accurate breakdown of the percentage.

I think these figures also prove just how popular the EVO has been for Sprint, which has been somewhat overshadowed recently by the success of the Galaxy S line. However, according to these figures the Epic, Fascinate and Vibrant combined don’t even add up to the 12% enjoyed by the EVO, and the Captivate oddly enough isn’t even on this list.

Obviously these are just numbers from one research group, but I think they do a good job at giving a rough idea as to the breakdown of Android devices. If further numbers are released, we’ll be sure to compare them to the ones seen here.

    This is such an interesting piece of data. It means that the networks can know, based on packet data, which device generated the traffic in question. Apparently when a data packet travels through the network it is “signed” by the device with a particular identifier.

    I’ve heard of the LG ally, but not the HTC ally….
