Using a chart from 2015 is a bad idea. Just doing a quick search shows that for 2016 Window Phone has a market share around 2% which would put them on the bottom of that chart.
Not in manufacturing. Also that Windows Phone percentage you are speaking of is OS if not mistaken.
The fact Windows is still the 3rd largest OS and that that vast majority of those phones are from Microsoft in terms of relevant sales helps that fact.
Yes the charts per quarter will shake once in awhile, like LG will likely shoot up above it along with HTC when the new phones comes out, then drop back down again afterward. I mean there were times BB had enough interest where it charted in 2014.
Hell Amazon charted in a few charts I found. With their flop phone.
There so much rank switching most quarters it's crazy.
Xiamoi has released like 3 new phones so it'll likely be third because China population. Then it'll drop down again.
That's the issue with Android OEMs, they can't seem to be consistent unless you are called Samsung.
Anyway regardless don't make my chart in saying they are dooing good, or where doing good, rather, they are just not as bad as everyone else who is also bad.
it's like you go to a party get drunk and you and your friends jump off a ledge and everyone breaks both their legs but you break only one.
Likely after this month and next HTC and MS will be around the same, LG and Xiaomi will be ahead, likely lenovo will shrink unless moto has a trick up their sleeves, and then all the other will be irrelevant.
