If it's not a Lumia, people don't seem to care when it comes to buying a Windows Phone. Data from Ad Duplex reveals that practically no smartphone vendor other than Nokia gets attention. Nokia has been the leading Windows Phone manufacturer since it switched from Symbian in 2011, and the latest numbers show that it has taken an even higher share of Windows Phone sales.
Nokia now accounts for 92.1 percent of all usage among Windows Phone devices. Thanks to the low-cost Lumia 520 series, which account for 34 percent of all Windows Phone, no phone comes close to Nokia. The Top 10 most used devices are all Lumia variants, and the combined weight of HTC and Samsung (5.2 percent and 1.6 percent) are barely a blip on the radar.
The purchase of Nokia by Microsoft will continue this trend. I'm not sure if HTC will keep pushing into Windows Phone if they could only manage 5 percent of a small market even with Microsoft's partnership for the 8X and 8S. Samsung has even less reason because it sells millions of Android phones each year and has Tizen. Nokia's handset division is now under Microsoft's control, but it went out with a tiny bang in the world of Windows Phone.
