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 August 22nd, 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.

5. Windows Phone Devices Worldwide
August 22nd, AdDuplex
The lead of Lumia 535 over
the all time favorite is pretty
solid now - 1.9% compared
to 1.2% last month.
It is quite possible that Lumia
640 may overtake 520 next
month as well.
The only other Top-10 phone
marching up is Lumia 640
XL.
As for Windows 10 Models:
Lumia 550 moved from #23
to #18, 950 - #26 to #25, 650
- #28 to #26 and 950 XL -
#33 to #31.

August 22nd, AdDuplex
Lumia 550 is now the most
popular phone running
Windows 10 Mobile. It was
behind 2 earlier models in
July, but has surpassed both
Lumia 640 and 535 over the
month.
Lumia 650 is growing as well
(+1.2%) with only minor
changes elsewhere on the
chart.

7. Windows Phone Devices - US
August 22nd, AdDuplex
Not much has changed in US
since we last looked at it in
May.
The most notable change is
that Lumia 950 is now in the
top-10 at #9.
This is especially interesting
when you consider that other
newest generation Lumias
didn’t even make it in the top-
20. So, feels like carrier
partnerships still matter even
for niche products.

August 22nd, AdDuplex
Looks like the growth of
Windows 10 Mobile is
accelerating each month.
Last month the growth
doubled from 0.5% to 1%.
This month it more than
doubled again. Windows 10
Mobile is now on 14% of
Windows phones.

9. Windows 10 Mobile Versions
August 22nd, AdDuplex
What’s even more interesting
is that the Anniversary
Update (aka 1607) is now on
more than half of all the
Windows 10 Mobile phones.
On one hand, this may
suggest that the majority of
Windows 10 Mobile users are
enthusiasts who go out of
their way to get the latest
update. But, on the other
hand, we hear reports of
even the AT&T branded
phones getting the update
automatically. So, it could be
that Microsoft is just more
“aggressive” with the update
this time around.

The situation on “big
Windows” is quite different.
Only 16.2% are on the latest
stable version, even though it
came out more than 2 weeks
ahead of its Mobile sibling.
6.1% are still running the
initial release of Windows 10
and the vast majority is on
1511.
