“Smartphones with Windows Phone will sell better.” Report – Gazeta.pl

According to the latest report from analyst firm IDC share of Windows Phone’s market share is only 2.9% percent. It’s still a good result, because in the August report, was calculated at 2.5%. For comparison, Android controlled 84% of the market.

It would therefore seem that smartphones running Microsoft’s are basically a niche product. The situation is much more complicated – they are in fact the markets in which giant Windows Phone notes increases. If you take into account what this trend smartphones running Microsoft have to sell next year better.

real Seeking Alpha cites specific calculation. In the first quarter of fiscal 2015, Microsoft saw sales of smartphones – with 1.9 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014 to $ 2.6 billion. Redmond giant has sold 9.3 million phones Nokia’s own line and 42.9 million of other models. The results of the previous quarter amounted to 5.8 million and 30.3 million. The results are clearly better.

Windows Phone giant recorded increases in Asia: Indonesia, Vietnam and Thailand, the demand for Microsoft products increased by 70, 56 and 44 percent. The value of sales rose by – respectively – 52, 32 and 31 percent.

Seeking Alpha analyst also notes that Microsoft will soon release a budget Nokia 435, intended primarily to emerging markets. M cost less than one hundred dollars, while the average price of a smartphone is $ 159. In Asia, Microsoft may achieve better results for other reasons. In contrast to the Chinese manufacturers have huge funds for travel, it also be offering their products with a minimum margin. We may just have to wait for profit. It even seems that it still pays to Windows Phone on a global basis.

For investors, however, has only one thing: sales are likely to go up, and the proceeds from the sale of smartphones is growing. Today is counted in billions of dollars, the margin in the hundreds of millions of dollars. For me faint, balancing the years around 3% of the global market share shows, however, that Microsoft is doing something wrong. Or the introduction of new models or system updates are not able to convince a significant number of users, the Windows Phone system is worth a look. And what is your opinion on this?
