Android is a behemoth of an operating system, one that only iOS has been able to match. Both Microsoft and Samsung have tried but it seems that nothing can compete against the colossal duo that controls the vast majority of the mobile market. However, there’s still room for a third contender and, as funny as it may seem, the operating system that has the best chance of filling the gap is… Android.

If you live on Earth, there’s better than a 90 percent chance you’ve got an Android or iOS smartphone in your pocket. Yes, there are alternative mobile operating systems out there, but they’re small fries compared to Google and Apple. The way things are, it’s next to impossible for a new mobile OS to round up a meaningful crowd of users — outside the dedicated ones who just love to support an underdog — but it’s very tough to get people to leave a working, stable platform to join a risky new one. As much as smaller companies (and even Microsoft) try, most people just buy an iPhone or Android. For years, crystal-ball-rubbing analysts have told us that there is room for a third major mobile OS. So where is it? Microsoft hasn’t cracked it with Windows Phone, BlackBerry had its day many years ago, and Tizen … well, you probably don’t know what Tizen is.
