3. Data Source
This report is based on data collected from around 5,000 Windows phone apps
running AdDuplex SDK v.2 (and higher). The raw data analyzed was collected over the
day of December 19th, 2016 (UTC time) unless otherwise stated.
We have made every attempt to consolidate different reported phone model names
under their canonical retail model names, but it is possible that some of the rare model
name 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 December 2016, more than 10,000 apps actively use AdDuplex to gain
more visibility.
4. Windows 10 Mobile Devices – World
December 19th, AdDuplex
Lumia 640 has moved into
the second spot among
phones running Windows 10
Mobile worldwide replacing
Lumia 535 that was there in
October.
Lumia 950 XL moved to #8
(from 9) and all of the
Windows 10 era Lumias
(except for 550) have grown
their percentage shares.

5. Windows 10 Mobile “Native” – World
December 19th, AdDuplex
By isolating phones that came
with Windows 10 Mobile from
the factory we can get an
estimate for 2016 sale shares
by model.
4 Lumias lined up by price
(lowest to highest) and together
comprise 97.5% of all Windows
10 Mobile phones sold.
Provided that most of the stock
for these Lumia models is sold
out and there are no new
phones from either Microsoft or
any high volume partners on
the horizon, this could be the
very last meaningful snapshot
of the Windows 10 Mobile
ecosystem as we know it.

6. Windows 10 Mobile Devices – US
December 19th, AdDuplex
Looks like Black Friday sale
has reshaped the US chart
quite a bit.
Lumia 650 and 950 both
moved past 640 to occupy
the first and second positions
on the chart.
950 XL is in the same fourth
spot (but gained another
0.3%) while 1520 slid down 6
to 9. Are hardcore 1520 fans
finally giving up and
upgrading to 950 XL (or
something else)?
Alcatel Idol 4S moved 16 to
13 (2.5x share growth). HP
Elite x3 – 19 to 18 (1.3x).

7. Windows 10 PC Manufacturers – World
December 19th, AdDuplex
HP is still number one among
PC manufacturers and
getting stronger (+1.5% since
October).
Dell shot up 2.9% since
October to displace Lenovo
at #2.
Other than that we see a
similar lineup to what we had
in October.

8. Surface computers (Windows 10) – World
December 19th, AdDuplex
Surface Studio was delivered to
first customers just recently,
and though it was clear it won’t
break any sales records, it was
a good opportunity to look at
the usage of the Surface
lineup.
Last time we looked at this was
back in June and Surface Pro 4
has surpassed its older sibling
Pro 3 since then to claim #1
with 37.4%.
The order of the remainder of
the list remains the same, but it
looks like Surface Book will
overtake Surface Pro 2 very
soon (6.2% vs. 6.0%).
As for Surface Studio – as
expected we’ve seen a few, but
not surprisingly it’s the most
niche of them all.

9. Windows mobile OS versions – World
December 19th, AdDuplex
There was a little bit of
growth in Windows 10 Mobile
market share (likely on the
back of Black Friday sales),
but overall situation is still the
same – Windows Phone 8.1
is still the de-facto standard
target platform for Windows
on the phone.
