The US is one the most important markets for smartphone manufacturers. Consumers in America can make or break the success of a new smartphone model, due to the fact that the country has a very large population, with higher levels of disposable income than many other countries and widespread availability of such products.

Because of these factors, it always makes for interesting reading when new data is released about its sales figures of smartphones, and the satisfaction levels of consumers in the United States. Mobile research firm OnDevice has recently released the results of a new study, the results of which can be viewed over at Android Authority.

The data shows the results of a survey carried out among just under 93,000 smartphone users in the U.S. For years, California based technology giant Apple has enjoyed impressive levels of commercial success, but the results of this recent study showed that its more recent products seem to be falling out of favour among American consumers. The iPhone 5, which was launched back in September 2012 has had its fair share of bad press after a number of problems were reported with some of the phone’s features, which may have contributed to the latest instalment of Apple’s iconic smartphones series placing fifth on the survey of customer satisfaction.

The iPhone 5 was beaten by handsets such as the Samsung Galaxy Note 2, one of the most impressive and popular devices from the South Korea based manufacturer which is Apple’s arch rival in the consumer technology industry. Other handsets which placed a ahead of the iPhone 5 include the Motorola Atrix HD, Motorola Droid RAZR M and HTC Rezound 4G, all of which are U.S. exclusive handsets.

The results of this survey are of course good news for Samsung, which is steadily increasing its lead over Apple as the number one smartphone manufacturer in the world.
