More than half of the mobiles that work worldwide with Microsoft's operating system are signed by the Finnish Nokia. Specifically, 59 percent of the entire global park of Windows Phone terminals. These are data collected with the consulting firm Localytics with a very recent date: the sample ends last July, and exposes an upward trend that began, of course, in January of this year. And we allude to the logic of this situation because the Nokia Lumia devices "" the family of the Finnish firm that equips the platform developed by Redmond”” Began to be sold in its early stages in December 2011.
Already in its premiere, and always alluding to the figures collected by Localytics, Nokia showed a very good presence. Despite the dominance of the Taiwanese HTC "" thanks to terminals such as the HTC HD7 "", the European company was able to get a run in its beginnings in this environment, and in fact, it was placed really close to what today is the first manufacturer of mobile phones and smartphones on the market, the South Korean company Samsung. At that time, almost half of the share of Windows Phone terminals was shared with only one percent difference in favor of the firmAsian.
Today, however, the picture is very different. Samsung is fully focused on the Android platform, and although it sets its sights on the future of Windows Phone "" we have already told you about the Samsung Odyssey and Samsung Marco, the first Windows Phone 8 that this firm will propose "", continues without giving this ecosystem the support that it does demonstrate to Google.
In fact, until June of this year, and based on IDC data, some 5.2 million mobile phones with Windows Phone and Windows Mobile were sold worldwide, which represents a tiny 3.5 percent of the market ”” compared to 68.1 percent that Android drink. This being the case, it seems logical that as of July 2012, Samsung would limit itself to being responsible for thirteen percent of mobiles that work with Microsoft's system.
Perhaps the data to consider in this regard focuses on HTC. The 44 percent of mobile - based environment Microsoft had their mark in January this year. But since then, the share has been decreasing progressively and significantly to stand at 21 percent of the pie it held last month.
The gradual loss of presence corresponds, in fact, to the proportional investment that has been manifested in the growth of Nokia, so it is not difficult to see who has been vampirizing the presence of the Taiwanese company. So much so, that the records of the rest of the companies that participate in this ecosystem have shown minimal variations, although of a descending nature. Samsung, as we say, lost part of its share, although in the second quarter the decline was barely three percent; The group made up of the rest of the manufacturers, meanwhile, did not show loss of presence since last March.
