7 Reasons Why Android Phone Is Better Than Windows Phone by tegak10: 11:32am On Jun 06, 2015
1.APPS
Android os has x10 more apps unlike windows phone that has few apps. Even the apps they have are of low quality.. E.g windows phone bbm just got bbm channels,something that has been available for a while...



2. DESIGN
All windows phone users have to stick with lumia phones.... Which uses poor processors i.e most low end windows phone use snapdragon 200.... Although windows phone os is light and doesent task the system, what about gaming... U will hardly see a windows phone user playing fifa 15 because their phone specs is not up to it, even asphalt 8 that ive seen d quality of the graphics is very low compared to android and iphone counterparts...

3.CHARGING PROBLEM
You cant switch off your phone and charge it. The phone automatically boots itself...

4. POOR QUALITY OF STOCK APPS
The apps that are bundled with windows phone currently sucks e.g internet explorer.. Even the music apps lags if u have too many songs...

5.THE OPERATING SYSTEM
I used to think that iphones where wack. But at least they have jailbreak... windows phone has nothing... You can check the windows phone page on xda developers it is dead...

6.OS updates..
Windows 10 is coming and microsoft has said that not all features on windows 10 will be available to low end phones... But on android flashing a custom rom is the solution. Even stock android phones like nexus 4(2013) are still getting the latest version of android

7. BATTERY LIFE
All android phones comes with advanced power saving modes e.g samsung ultra power saving mode.. Although windows phone doesent consume much battery. Android is still better because they have softwares like du battery saver n co that will increase your battery life


I would have added more but am typing on a phone and my hand currently aches

Some of your points are trash.

Updates?
Tell me which 2012 phone will still receive an update in late 2015?

Gaming?
Any 1GB ram WP will play any game on the store without lag.
Show me a budget Android that won't lag horribly after six months of usage? Budget WPs run smoothly even after a year of use.

Thrash compared to iPhone?
The same iPhone that can't connect to just any PC to transfer music or movies as you wish?
An OS that doesn't even have a file manager? lol.
The most important thing the iPhone has over WP is apps and that marquee factor.


An unjailbroken iPhone is inferior to a WP!

I'll add more later. Conserving my battery for more important things.

thats because wp games are made for all devices. Android games has requirement jst like pc. U can run mc4, mc5, max payne, 9mm, fifa 14 and 15 on tecno n3 bcus these games need 1gig ram phone to work smoothly.
htc one m8 and galaxys5 run smoothly after a year.

a rom serving its purpose perfectly, and you call it shitty?? . i use a htc one m8 that is fully upgraded to lollipop by htc, but i prefer using my custom rom, which gives me more tweakabilities and serves me perfectly, i have never for one noticed any glitch, and i have been on the rom for close to 5 months.

I said budget phones, you are mentioning flagship devices.

Besides, some of those games will crash on 512 ram androids.
And again, you can sideload heavy games on 512 ram phones if you know your way around it.

like i said android games gat requirement. Any game that crash on 512 ram phone means the the game aint compatible with the phone or the game requirement iz greater than the phone. Any game tht crash on 1gig ram phone means that the game iz nt meant 4 that phone's gpu. U can sideload it on 512 ram phone bt it wont run smoothly.

Op, are you stupid? How can you write a post on an os you haven't used before? Iphone has jailbreak, windows phone have nothing? Ever heard of developer unlock? Should i show you a screenshot of fifa15, mc5, nova3(all deployed) on my lumia 822? How is not being able to switch off and charge a problem? Its not like android that switching off makes charging faster! What suck in internet explorer? If the thread on xda was dead, what about windows central, windowsphone hub? Do you know windows phone has an inbuilt battery saver? So about no 6, all the feature available on tecno p3 custom rom will be available on samsung galaxy 5 custom rom? Can you ever see a post about tecno on xda? Asphalt 8?? Oh my Goodness, Op!! Maybe you saw it on a 512mb ram phone. And check how it looks on a 512mb android, It can NEVER be as good. Unlike millions of android phone that isnt recognised worldwide, there is NO WINDOWS PHONE that isnt recognised(therefore you get faster solutions to your problem unlike if you are using a tecno or infinix or innjoo that are onlu used in Nigeria). So you havent hearr about Samsung, Htc etc windows phone? Even low end windows phone is usable, not to talk of the 930,1320,1520. Op, next time, get your facts right. The only correct fact is the app number(and the number is growing day by day). Though if you have all the apps you need, i dont know why you'll be concerned about the number of apps in the store.




That said, i'm not saying windows phone is better, infact i think android is a shade better. But those reasons are wack!

There are no 512mb android phones currently retailing in the market, even China manufacturers have upgraded. It's only Microsoft & Nokia that's still swimming in obsolete spec for their devices

Samsung still makes 512mb devices Mr.
And for your info, MS doesn't make them anymore!

Some of you need to read up more, not just jumping on what the bandwagon say.
