In this case, these are the system figures for the month of July, and in them you can see the progress of Windows Phone 8.1 and the entry of new devices, among which, once again, the pull of high-end terminals stands out. low.

The report is based on data collected during July 24 by more than 4,400 applications that use the AdDuplex platform.Although they do not show great changes in the different positions occupied by brands, devices and versions; if they begin to reflect changes in the percentages that herald the arrival of a new era in Windows Phone

Full domain of Nokia terminals

As has been happening practically since the arrival of Windows Phone 8, the market for smartphones with the system only has a proper name: Nokia That is the brand that shines in 94.5% of mobiles with Windows Phone 8, leaving practically nothing the share of other brands among which barely HTC, Samsung or Huawei appear.

And we already know who is to blame for such a domain. The entry-level terminals of the Lumia family are the great source of share acquisition for the manufacturer now owned by Microsoft.There resists the Nokia Lumia 520 with a 30.9% share, followed by the Nokia Lumia 625 with 7.2%.

Windows Phone 8.1 begins to replace its predecessor

As is the law of life, a new version of the operating system begins to steal market share from its predecessor. This is happening with Windows Phone 8.1, whose official release took place during the month of July and which has increased its share in more than 4 points, the same ones that Windows Phone 8 has lost.

Still, Windows Phone 8.1 is still barely in 11.9% of terminals with the operating system.A number that is even lower than the percentage of Windows Phone 7.1 smartphones on the market. The erratic arrival of the update and the need to go through manufacturers and operators first makes it likely that we will have to wait a while until we see the latest version of the system firmly established.
