7. OS Versions – Worldwide
March 20th, AdDuplex
Only a small, 3.2%, increase
in devices running WP8.1
this month, mostly at the
expense of devices running
7.x.
The number of devices
running Windows 10 has also
dropped since last month.
Could this be people trying
out the OS preview last
month who aren’t using it
now? The developer tools
preview now available may
see this increase again next
month.

year the top 6 operators are
still in the same order as they
were last month.

Verizon losing 1.6% is the
only change greater than one
percent for any of the

10. Windows Phone Devices – English UI
March 20th, AdDuplex
Looking for the first time at
devices that are used by
English speakers we see
some small differences from
the worldwide view.
The low end devices still
dominate but the 520 doesn’t
have quite the same
dominance.
The size of the “other”
category is also considerably
larger but actually contain 39
fewer devices which we’ve
never seen in use with the
English language.
