Windows Phone Is Second Most Preferred Mobile OS In India

by Hans Gogia • April 1, 2013

Microsoft company representative at the TechEd Conference held in Pune few days ago gave out this information that Windows Phone now owns the second position in the mobile operating system leader-board in India.

Microsoft claimed that Windows Phone shipments increased all of a sudden by 38% in Q4 2012 here and is still on the rise. This surge was expected after the aggressive marketing strategies by Microsoft and its smart phone partners especially Nokia. Nokia’s dominant sales and marketshare in the second most populus country in the world justifies its contribution to this rise. Android being the leader is still way ahead of what Windows Phone has achieved but Windows Phone still have managed to drag iOS behind. With few more Lumia phones lined up for shipments, we can makes sense out of these statements.
