Germany has the "healthiest" share of Windows Phone devices based on new statistics featuring Nokia Lumia and HTC smartphones.

According to AdDuplex, the Nokia Lumia 920 is the top Windows Phone device in Germany. The rank for the Lumia 920 is a change from the Lumia 520, which held the position of the No. 1 Windows Phone device worldwide based on AdDuplex's data. The Lumia 920 finished at first place with 17.4 percent of the Windows Phone market share.

The Lumia 520 and Lumia 820 tied for second place with 9.9 percent, each.

The first non-Nokia Lumia smartphone to rank in the German AdDuplex data is the Samsung ATIV S. The Samsung device placed fourth with 8.9 percent of the market share.

The Nokia Lumias returned to power with the Lumia 800 placing fifth with 8.2 percent.

Two other non-Nokia Lumia smartphones ranked in the top 10 with the HTC 8S and HTC 8X with 5.3 percent and 4 percent, respectively. The HTC 8S managed to finish at eighth place while the HTC 8X ranked at ninth place.

"Germany's pie looks like a healthiest view of the Windows Phone ecosystem," wrote AdDuplex's Alan Mendelevich. "We see higher end Lumia 920 at the top, with other higher-end devices in the top 10 - meaning theoretically higher purchasing power of the users. We also see pretty healthy numbers for phones made by both Samsung and HTC."

As Latino Post reported, the Lumia 520 placed first in the worldwide Windows Phone devices market share with 26.5 percent. The Lumia 520 managed to beat competition from the Lumia 920 and Lumia 620, which ranked second and third places, respectively.

AdDuplex collected its latest Windows Phone data on Nov. 22 with more than 2,087 Windows Phone apps running on AdDuplex's SDK version 2.
