Nokia Lumia 520 cedes top spot in global Windows Phone usage to Lumia 535ce
des
It’s been a really long time coming (almost three years), and finally, the 2013-released Lumia 520 falls out offirst place in AdDuplex’s Windows Phone popularity charts.
Unfortunately for those of you who perhaps hoped the global crown would be passed on to a contemporary mid-ranger or the Windows 10 Mobile-powered Lumia 950 flagship, it’s the 535 that moves in the top spot.
Essentially, a crappy (by today’s standards) low-end oldie is replaced with a slightly less horrible entry-level device that’s only 18 months younger, having seen daylight in the fall of 2014. Oh, well, at least the Lumia 535 is Microsoft-branded, packs 1GB RAM instead of 512MB, and therefore qualifies for a W10M software update.
12.5 percent of the world’s WP users own a 535, according to data collected earlier this month from around 5,000 of the platform’s apps, with the 520 still a relatively close second, at 11.3 percent market share. Then comes the Nokia Lumia 630 in third, with an 8.3 percent slice of the pie, followed by the 640, 635, 530, 625, 435, 640 XL, and last in the top ten, the Nokia Lumia 920.dows
