Windows Phone Market Share Declines Further
In spite of the global increase
in smartphone sales, which saw a tremendeous demand for brands such as Samsung,
Apple and China’s Xiaomi, Microsoft’s market share has continued to drop.
In a recent report by Gartner , Microsoft did not make the first top five brands
in global smartphone sales, despite the launch of the 650 and the 950 phones. In
all, just 2.4 million units running the OS were sold, down from 8.27 million about
a year ago as the market reached a record 349 million units for the first
quarter of 2016. The company’s share then, was just 0.7 percent of all phones
sold.
Some days ago, Microsoft revealed
its intentions to to sell off its feature phone division , without mentioning
if it will continue with the manufacturing of Lumia phones.
