The smartphone penetration rate in Romania will exceed 50% next year, a level close to the European average, according to Dan Vartopeanu, managing partner within Breeze Mobile.

“Android should exceed a market share of 80%. With this penetration, we should see the first app to reach one million installs,” he added, reports local Ziarul Financiar.

For the end of this year, Vartopeanu estimates a total of 8 million smartphones in Romania.
