New data from AdDuplex have offered some light on the current and future state Windows 10 Mobile among the current owners of a Windows Phone device, while we are facing its distribution in phases.
Also, these data clarify certain things about the growth in sales of the Lumia 640 and they allow us to know that the new manufacturers that sign up for Windows 10 Mobile are not yet very successful.
March figures reveal that 15,2 percent of all existing Windows Phones that are capable of using Windows 10 Mobile are already on this mobile OS. Another 35,2 percent are able to upgrade to the new update released this month, at least, if everything goes as it should from the delays due to regional deployments and operators.
This brings to the fore that the total number of Windows 10 Mobile devices, in theory, could reach 50,4 percent of current active phones.
Doing various calculations, he leaves us before a 49,6 percent of all Windows Phones in use that are not capable to use Windows 10 Mobile. Some of these phones are those that have nothing more than 512 MB of RAM or have old Qualcomm chips, the S4, which, according to Microsoft itself, has been the cut so that they could not get the update due to the negative feedback obtained. from the Insiders.
Microsoft has stated that no second wave of new updates for devices that were not going to get Windows 10 Mobile, although there may be some reconsideration for phones like the Lumia Icon, which has a good community of users behind it.
Another interesting figure provided by this firm is that the Lumia 640, which can be upgraded to Windows 10 Mobile, is one of the terminals that is best selling with a 0,9% share of all Windows Phone devices. The Lumia 640 is now globally 7,3 percent and is getting to catch the Lumia 520 (12,1%), Lumia 535 (12%) and Lumia 630 (8,8%).
Another point to cite is that the new OEMs, which are trying to launch phones with Windows Phone, they are not having great success, since 97,21 percent are all Nokia or Microsoft mobiles.
