This year, the sales volume of smart phones in the United States increased to 123 million WP mobile phones, accounting for 4%

July 19, according to foreign media reports, although Microsoft continues to vigorously promote its Windows Phone platform, but today released data from strategic analysts show that compared with Android/iOS products, Windows Phone mobile phone sales still grow slowly. Strategy analysts expect US smartphone sales this year to increase by 21% from the previous year to 123 million units, but it is expected that sales of Windows Phone handsets will account for only 4% of US smartphone sales this year.

Strategy analysts expect that Windows Phone handset sales this year will reach 5 million units, which is an increase from last year's 3.5 million units. However, Windows Phone handset sales account for only 4% of total US smartphone sales. Although the proportion of 4% means that the proportion of Windows Phone handset sales this year has increased compared to last year, but the growth rate is only 1%.

This is not good news for Nokia, because the success of the Windows Phone platform is important for Nokia to enter the US market. Nokia has taken some effective measures to increase sales of its flagship Lumia 900 Windows smartphone. Only three months after the release of the product, Nokia announced earlier this week that for users of the two-year contract, Nokia lowered the price of the Lumia 900 Windows smartphone from the previous US$990 to US$490. This will at least help Windows Phone maintain its current sales trend this year, without reducing its market share. However, the expected data from strategic analysts is not good news for handset makers including HTC (HTC) and Samsung, which produce Windows Phones.
