. Bear in mind that Android phones lag seriously unlike their Windows counterpart which HARDLY lag. .

There are three levels of android phones. Low end, mid range and high end. High end don't lag or might lag a little.

You are spitting trash. Note 4 lags. Lol, note 4 kills every other phone in asphalt 8. Google is ur friend. Do you know what asphalt 8 is? It's the only phone that handled it perfectly.

I prefer using window phone than android because wp is user friendly and less data consuming. In fact, you don't need to off your data when or after browsing. Unlike android phone you need to off the data all day all night.
As you know we have individual differences, fashions, tastes and choices. But as for me I can't use any other phone than only wp even currently I'm still rocking with my Microsoft Lumia 535 the first Lumia Phone by Microsoft after acquired Nokia.

I learnt that it over heat.
How true is it? Coz i was considering it before

It's funny how people make conclusions.
What do you mean off data all night?
What do you mean by Windows doesn't suck up data and Android does?

Windows fans amaze me tho, what the apps you have on your phone? All new generations of phones suck data. Be it Android devices, iOS or BB10. But of course you can't notice that because it's the basic functions u make use of.

Mind you, windows mobile and windowsphone are not the same OS.

In the picture below, the first is the windows mobile while the 2nd is the windowsphone.

In as much as i like your analysis, please do a more recent comparison with windowsphone OS 8.1.

A lot of things will begin to make sense then.

Gave out my Infinix Alpha and my Nokia Lumia 520 just so I can go solo.

nairalanding from my microsoft lumia 535

Imagine a life of ease and sweetness all in one mobile OS.........

i am posting this from a lumia 630. i have a 2gb data plan on this phone and it will run till month end. the best i can get out of android is 2wks.
Lol, i use 1gb data plan, this is my second week on it and still have enough data to take me through next week. I use an android phone, what i did was close sum background apps from auto updating and voila i browse smoothly without d fear of apps drinking my data.
@op lumia phones are great tho, i love d sleekness, but its an individual choice.

4yr Windows Phone veteran here with the occasional foray into the Android ecosystem. First thing is first, BUDGET is all that matters. Your phone budget will really dictate everything.

That said, honestly, it doesn't matter the platform you pick on its own. The only thing that really matters are the services you use the most.

If you are locked into google services (Gmail, docs, drive, plus etc), stick with android. We do not have any form of google compatibility whatsoever (I have migrated my entire life from google to Microsoft services.). Except that? you're totally fine with any platform.

Microsoft has a strong service offering on Android already (onenote, office, Skype etc) so you are not going to be missing much if you stuck with android.

The only other thing i'd want to bring up is optimization. Most lower end Android phones are awfully slow and laggy but windows phones around that price range are known to be pretty snappy, relatively speaking (The Lumia 635 is no 1520 but is sure as hell will give any Android phone in its price range run for their money).

All WP 8.1 devices will be getting that windows 10 upgrade so if having a PC running windows 10 is a lure for you and you want everything seamless integrated, Windows is a good option (I've got Windows 8.1 running on 4 devices and the integration is pretty dope as it is. W10 is promising a lot more.)

That said, spacyzuma has said most of what else that matters; data usage, customizability etc.

I use a high range Lumia phone and I haven't had the chance to complain about it lagging ever since I bought it, same with others that I know. Even the low and mid range phones work well without lagging. I'm just waiting for Windows phone 10 to be out.

OP, like I said earlier, go for what works for you.

How many of them have used it before? I'm currently loving my lumia535 and I was previously using an android device.

The support system is amazing, so much organization and structure.
Yes oooo. Many Androidians here just follow the crowd. They dont have preference, style, class or the mind of their own. I bet they dont know what WP offers in telephoning. I enjoy my PERSONAL DIGITAL GIRLFRIEND-Cortana on my Lumia 930 #team_windowphone

wp8.1 definitely is good and on par with the other two os barring apps but majority of apps we use here in nigeria is in the store. it all depends on ur needs. if u the type that likes to tinker every now n then, android for u but if you want a semi-walled garden (thin line btw ios n android in terms of functions; customizability options), wp is for you. wp is smooth n secured at budget level onwards and will save u the hassles of rooting that android users go thru. simply put, if you want peace of mind, wp is for you but if you want to be an addict always testing one rom or the other, rooting, looking for free cheats to bypass networks till u run out of ideas, etc. android it is.
p.s. android is a bit more stable at the highend but in the longrun after installing lots of apps n accumulation of app data, it will start slow down a bit but if u a techgeek then u should be able to use it effectively cos most don't really know to use phones n they end up complaining when the solution is right there but otherwise, android is maturing when it comes to stability. Android is best enjoyed on an upper midrange to highend phones. forget techno,injoo,infinix,meizu, etc

I use a windows lumia 1520...you need to see the games I play on it *awesome, I don't need to worry about the blood sucking andriod battery, and number 1 issue of RAM on android....no matter how little u install, midway into use you get a msg that your ram is full....@op...if you want to be unique use windows..

Do you know that less than 3 percent of smartphones run on windows mobile OS and more than 80 percent runs on Android OS? People's choices speaks volumes of usefulness of a product. Microsoft is only good at desktop OS but they suck bitterly when it comes to mobile OS. You better stick to the best you have already in Android and avoid regrets.

How old is Android and how old is WP?

spacyzuma:
Also, android has so many choices of phones, and if you're looking for a cost-effective and pocket-friendly phone, it can be hard to select the right android phone.

WP has a smaller range of choices, especially if you stick to Nokia Lumia series.

If money is not an issue, go for a flagship smartphone. Android has more than 5 flagships from different manufacturers. WP has much fewer.

So does ios and rim os. most people haven't even tried d windows phone but disapprove it. But most WP users r ex Android phone users
