Windows Device Statistics Report

Not much is happening in the mobile world of Windows in general. However, there was a new flagship-type phone released this month – Alcatel Idol 4S. Granted it’s a US-only phone (for now, at least) and the fact that we haven’t looked at US in a while, we decided to dedicate this issue of AdDuplex Statistics report to US.

Data Source

This report is based on data collected from around 5,000 Windows phone appsrunning AdDuplex SDK v.2 (and higher). The raw data analyzed was collected over theday of November 21st, 2016 (UTC time) unless otherwise stated.

We have made every attempt to consolidate different reported phone model namesunder their canonical retail model names, but it is possible that some of the rare modelname variations were not accounted for.

AdDuplex is the largest cross-promotion network for Windows Phone and Windows Store apps and games empowering developers and publishers to promote their apps for free by helping each other. AdDuplex was established in January 2011 in Vilnius, Lithuania. As of November 2016, more than 10,000 apps actively use AdDuplex to gain more visibility.

Windows Phone Devices – USNovember 21st, AdDuplex

Last time we looked at US mobile devices was back in August.

While the top 2 phones didn’t change (Lumia 640 and 635) and account for almost half of all Windows phones in use, the rest of the chart has seen some changes.

Lumia 640 XL is at #3 now and Lumia 950 is #4. This may look encouraging on the face of it, but percentage shares of these phones are still bellow 4%. So not a big dent in the overall spread.

Lumia 650 has entered the chart at #9 since we last looked.

Windows 10 Mobile Devices – USNovember 21st, AdDuplex

If we take just the phones running Windows 10 Mobile we still find Lumia 640 at the top. It’s followed by Lumia 950 and the gap is quite small (0.9%).

An interesting sighting is Alcatel Fierce XL at #5 with 5.6%. No, that this is not the newest fancy Idol 4S, but an earlier model.

Where’s the new Alcatel? It’s at #16 and it’s already ahead of HP’s Elite x3 (#19) after just a week on the market. Though this could be a splash from the new phone setup activity. We should see if it progresses up the chart next month.

Windows 10 Mobile Manufacturers – USNovember 21st, AdDuplex

There’s no question who is at the top of the Windows 10 Mobile manufacturer chart, but Alcatel is quite notably at #2 with 6.2% share. HTC and BLU are at slots 3 and 4 without an actual “native” Windows 10 Mobile device. And the rest are just bleeps in the Other column.

Windows 10 Mobile Operators – USNovember 21st, AdDuplex

When it comes to mobile carriers people use their Windows 10 phones on, AT&T is firmly on top. If you consider that Cricket at #2 is wholly owned by AT&T, you see that the network is the most used by Windows 10 Mobile customers (66.6% combined).

Depending on the success (or lack thereof) of Idol 4S we can expect T-Mobile to increase its share in the near future.

Windows Phone/Mobile OS versions – USNovember 21st, AdDuplex

Growth of Windows 10 Mobile share has stalled worldwide in the last couple of months and US is no exception. Windows 10 Mobile is at 15% and Windows Phone 8.1 is still dominant with 80%.

This presents a major obstacle in UWP adoption for mobile-first Windows apps.

Windows 10 PC manufacturers – USNovember 21st, AdDuplex

HP is a market leader when it comes to PCs running Windows 10 both worldwide and in US. The lead is even more pronounced in the states – 32% vs. 22% worldwide.

However, contrary to the worldwide chart, Dell is a strong number two in the US with a 2.5x lead on Lenovo. Toshiba is ahead of Asus and Acer (behind them worldwide).

And Microsoft is #7 in both charts. However, the 4.3% market share is higher than the worldwide 2.8%. Not surprising considering limited worldwide availability of Surface devices.
