Ever wondered what the typical Android user looks like? There’s no doubt we have our stereotypes for followers of specific operating systems, and Android is no exception. The guys from BlueStacks have just compiled information from Nielsen and a Facebook poll they conducted. The result is Mr. Android 2011.
It’s not so much a “look”; it’s a very fragmented image. Instead, this is an infographic that represents percentages of habits, lifestyles and preferences within the Android community.
There are, of course, the characteristics we expect to see not only in Android fans, but in human beings. Like the fact that 78% have a “normal-sized head” or 51% have “average-length hair.” Or the fact that most have black or brown hair. These are a given with any group of people, but things get more interesting as you move down the graph.
The vast majority of us like to wear t-shirts and jeans. 41% wear sneakers, which may be why people relate Android to lower income. It also seems 62% of us use our phones for playing games, while only 38% use them for work.
45% of us still wear a watch, which is interesting. We often hear people say that a watch is no longer necessary, since you can use your phone for the same purpose.
According to the infographic, a third of Android users do not have a single paid app on their phone, and average data consumption is 582 MB a month.
Yes, we sound like big nerds, right? Well the good news is: 63% of us have a significant other.
Take a look at the info graphic below to see more details, and let us know what you think. Let’s see how right this thing is. Where do you fall in these categories?
Let’s start with me. Black, long hair. American (well, Mexican American) with no glasses and a normal sized head. I usually wear t-shirts, but haven’t owned a pair of jeans since high school and prefer sneakers. No watch, and I mostly use Android for work (obviously).

95zyphbear 15 hours ago Thumb upThumb down +7I bet the t-shirts are because of the witty internet shirt sites like woot and threadless, but don’t forget our shirts that show our love your the little green guy too!
ReplyI am for sure the opposite of any thing described.
100 percent Puerto Rican born and raised in the projects of Brooklyn Nyc.So I look like the guy that would steal a device instead of using it.(but thats another stereotype).
Usually find me wearing jeans a pair of jordans or timberlands with a a jersey of one of my favorite teams and a matching hat. This is usually, on occasion i will be better dressed (going to a club, dinner with the lady, etc)
I do usually wear glasses (Dolce and Gabana)
I have a gun licence so if you have the heart to walk up to me and take my device. You might get shot.lol
I do game on my phone from time to time
plenty of paid apps
only wear a watch when i go somewhere special
and finally use close to 2gb

Wear glasses
T-shirt (graphic tee with great design only)
No Jeans, I like cargo pants
No watch, only use one to accessorize once in a while
Sneakers (low income for sneakers? Man, you gotta check out how expensive those Adidas ObyO Jeremy Scott Wings costs)
Paid apps = Yes, but I bought them when they are on sale ;-)
Data usage ~= 1GB, but I work at home and have access to Wifi most of the times

74B2L 14 hours ago Thumb upThumb down +5It’s only sad if you aren’t proud of being one. Mine calls me a geek all the time, but I can’t deny it. I mean seriously, if you weren’t a geek, you probably wouldn’t be reading a site called Android and Me. :P
Reply AlGuest 14 hours ago Thumb upThumb down 0Nah, the “related to low income” is snobbery from the Apple guys, based on the fact that droids are cheap (or even free on contract), whereas iPhones cost bucks no matter what contract you have. Cue the “ah, couldn’t afford an iPhone then?” quips.

14GRRemlin 14 hours ago Thumb upThumb down 0I dunno about sneakers.
I wear mine because:
- They are more comfortable than boots or dress shoes.
- I choose to wear them and nobody can tell me not to.
But that’s probably why I am an Android fan as well, I like comfort and freedom of choice. :)
Reply 14GRRemlin 14 hours ago Thumb upThumb down 0Oh, and don’t start me on data usage.
I average 6-7GB/month.
No, I don’t tether, this is strictly using the phone.
So I download a ROM or two while at work… big deal. :)
Sadly, my 4G connection is faster than if I did it through our company’s WiFi :(
