The big change this month is that, after almost three years at the top (since July 2013), the 520 is no longer the most popular Windows Phone device in use. That title now falls to the Lumia 535.
Windows 10 generation phones are still nowhere to be seen in the top 10 including such previous Windows Phone strongholds as Italy, Russia or India. The only bright spot is UK where Lumia 550 has gained some momentum.
In addition to the US we look in detail at the devices in use in the UK, Italy, Russia, Australia and India.

5. Windows Phone Devices Worldwide
April 25th, AdDuplex
It’s been a long time coming
but, as predicted last month,
the Lumia 520 is no longer
the most popular Windows
Phone in use around the
world. It lost 0.8% market
share in the last month while
the 535 gained 0.5% to
overtake it.
The largest other notable
change is in the growth of the
640 which is up 1.0%.
The 640XL also shows the
largest growth among the
other models in the top ten.

The Lumia manufacturers
(Nokia/Microsoft) see another
loss this month as they lose
0.18% of market share.
HTC also have a loss (of
0.04%) while all the others
see a gain in share:
Samsung +0.06%
Huawei +0.06%

insignificant range.

7. OS Versions – Worldwide
April 25th, AdDuplex
As expected, we see a
decline in share for WP8.1
(of 2.0%) and a gain in share
for W10M (of 1.5%).
Somewhat unexpectedly we
also see growth in market
share for WP8.0 (0.1%) and
WP7.x (0.3%)
This would seem to suggest
that not all the people leaving
WP8.1 are upgrading to
W10M while those using
devices that have an OS two
or three generations old are
continuing to use them.
