As part of my participation in How to Join The Data Geek Challenge.
Source of data: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_operating_system – Graph: Gartner: World-Wide Smartphone Sales (Thousands of Units)

Top 4 platforms (Android, iOS, Windows Phone and Blackberry) in relation to the total sales of smartphones:
Very easy, fast and fun to generate these graphics with SAP Lumira!
Checking the data we can see that Apple have some peeks every time they announce a new iPhone and that the smartphone business belongs to Android.

Hi Rafael,
Nice blog and I do agree with you, it is very easy and nice to analyse data with this tool! 🙂

HI Rafael,
good stats and the colors are nice and everything but having multiple values makes the hues and shades indistinguishable from one another. wouldn't a table with good old numbers help here?
best,

Gregory,
In SAP Lumira you have the option to display the numbers on top of the visualizations to make it very clear where you stand.
ALSO, share it in the cloud, and access the files that are dynamic!
Rafael,
Thanks for the great post, and very well done visualizations.
Also, thank you for sharing the data source!
Would you be able to send us the Lumira file you used?
