Windows Phone is finally making sales headway, with the news that the platform grabbed nearly one in ten smartphone sales across Europe's five largest markets over the summer.
In the three months to August, Windows Phone accounted for 9.2 percent of sales across the U.K., Germany, France, Italy, and Spain, proving especially popular in France (12 percent) and the U.K. (10.8 percent), according to figures from analysts at Kantar Worldpanel ComTech.

Android remains on top of the pile with 70.1 percent of sales to August although its growth rates have tailed off compared to its rivals.
