Windows Phone Devices WorldwideSeptember 20th, AdDuplex

Not much is changing in the Windows phone world and top 10 is almost exactly the same as it was a month ago.

The only difference is that Lumia 920 is now out of the top and Lumia 540 is in.

The most popular non-Lumia phone is Samsung ATIV S at #31.

Windows 10 Mobile Phones WorldwideSeptember 20th, AdDuplex

Things are a little bit more fluid on the Windows 10 Mobile front.

Lumia 550 established a more solid lead over its upgraded siblings. Lumia 535 and 640 have switched places since last month. Lumia 650 outnumbered 950, and 730 got over 950XL.

The most popular non-Lumia Windows 10 Mobile phone is Alcatel OneTouch Fierce XL at #23.

Microsoft is close to 99% of the market share, followed by Alcatel with 0.4%

No growth in Windows 10 Mobile share this month.

As new Windows 10 phones are scarce and most people who wanted (and knew how) to upgrade their 8.1 phones already did so, it’s hard to expect W10M share to continue growing from any other source than users of older phones switching to other OSes and dropping out of the ecosystem.

Unless some major new developments happen…

Windows 10 Mobile VersionsSeptember 20th, AdDuplex

Things are way more active inside the Windows 10 Mobile space. Close to 90% of the users are already on the latest stable release or even newer insider builds.

So, if you are developing apps targeting Windows 10 Mobile primarily, it is quite reasonable to start using 1607 specific features.

Let’s turn to the PC side.

The line up of the top 10 PC manufacturers this month is exactly the same as it was 3 months ago in June.

ASUS got a little further ahead from Acer (1%, was 0.4% lead). Toshiba has lost 0.8%.

Windows 10 (Desktop) VersionsSeptember 20th, AdDuplex

While developers can start targeting 1607 for their Windows 10 Mobile-only apps, it is way more complicated for universal or desktop apps.

The majority is still on version 1511. And, while 1607’s share has more than doubled in a month (16.2% to 34.5%), it is still on just a third of all Windows 10 PCs.
