In the first quarter, the Windows Phone platform won a contest with competitors such as Android and IOS. It has obtained BlackBerry and former users of Saipan. Windows Phone sales saw an increase of 156% in the first quarter compared with last year, said Francisco Geronimo, a European mobile device analyst at IDC. On Friday, IDC's mobile phone sales and market share report for the first quarter showed that Windows Phone market share increased from 2.1% to 4.1%. however, although Windows Phone is gaining more and more support, it may not be conducive to Nokia's transshipment.
"The Nokia Lumia series is doing well, but still below expectations. Nokia's new Windows Phone, which will be available this year, will help increase the number of users in the operating system ." Windows Phone will continue to grow in 2012, and the upcoming Windows Phone 8 has received the attention of European dealers. Microsoft's growth was at the cost of the decline in the RIM Blackberry operating system and the Saipan platform.
The Blackberry operating system is losing traction. In the first quarter, its sales volume dropped by 27% per year, with only 2.5 million units and a market share of only 8%. Saipan's share in Western Europe is less than 5%. Because the operating system lacks dealer support and the latest version of the OS, sebanbella has limited attractiveness. Saipan lost its previous 70% share in this process. Geronimo expects that seban will fade out of the market in first quarter of 2013.
In the past three months, Android's smartphone market share in Western Europe has increased by 124% to 55%, in contrast to the decrease in the seban and blackberry systems. Google's Android operating system once defended against Apple in the high-end market, but it is currently occupying the once strong low-end market of Saipan and blackberry. Apple expanded its market share with its own iOS platform, which reached 21% from 25% last year.
