Don't buy any Lumia Phone that doesn't have 1gb as it ram and must be window 8.1. You can buy any Lumia Phone that have ..30 at their last two digits that is, Lumia 730, 830, 930, 1030, but better still buy Microsoft Lumia 535 it has all functions exactly like that 930.
what about lumia 1520?

Just order for an ELEPHONE P7000
oops! Boss,the name of the phone scares me o. I haven't heard of any Elephone before let alone see one. Can the phone brand be trusted? Do they have customer care centres around? Does it have OTG and OTA? Please tell me what i stand to benefit in using this Elephone P7000 compared to Samsung/htc phones in the same price range? Thank you

But you cannot close some apps even if you wish.
Yup, but the point is reducing data consumption to the barest minimun, so obviously its not all apps gets closed.

I don't understand all these talk about switching off data. If you keep your playstore on auto update then your data goes down. I'm beginning to think maybe android is a bit too technical for some people to understand.
Get a phone like infinix with inbuilt firewall, switch off auto update of app, and enjoy the power of Android

Am loving my windows phone Lumia 625H.I LOST THE FIRST ONE, STILL WENT BACK FOR IT.For me it is very okay for my needs and above all, saves me from switching on and off of my data, I love getting instant messages, not getting messages only when I on my data.So depending on your usage sha, for me, windows all the way.

With android you can do more with your documents and video.
If you download a book from Internet with some numbers as file name, you can change that file name to something you can remember just like you do on desktop, it is almost impossible in Lumia.
There are certain videos format that cannot play on Lumia and your choice of video players are very limited, which means that if the inbuilt Lumia video player cannot play it then there is nothing you can do about it.
If you are the type that works on both laptop and phone, you should know that Android is the best in terms of establishing links and exchanging files either thru bluetooth or USB. When you plug in the USB, your files would be ready in less than 10 secs, not waiting for sync and dialog boxes.
Numerous low data charges options available for student life.
Since most of your friends would likely be using Android, collecting materials, books and educational softwares would be easier than being the odd man out.

Android is the best for students. Get a good android with good ram and battery, not all these N5 android around

disabling updates of apps blocks you from new features ,security patches resolution of bugs, etc. it is not the way to go.

Have you ever read the "what's new" section of the update page, sometimes they just add language support for Mandarin as the only new feature and you download 30mb of the same app for nothing. Most times security patches are whoosh.

For me, I update manually on my data once in 3 weeks but anytime I see free Wi-Fi I update everything. I would never set my phone to be updating the same app five times in a week.

We shouldn't be slave to technology that forces us to do something whenever they make it available, smart people who uses smart phone only go for what is relevant for them.

Lol..
I'm tired of people who have never used a windows phone giving incorrect opinions about them. angry

Who told you you can't rename files on windows phone?
Who said you can't watch any video format with them? I watch all movies on my phone and there has only been one single video that I've encountered any issues with!
No or maybe only few Android too can play all file formats without apps.
My phone pops up on the PC instantly after a USB connection.

Did you know WPs now features an official file manager?

The only reason I could pick up an Android right now is the more apps selection.

I mean my Lumia 520 surprises me with its fluidity after over a year and several heavy updates.

Make sure you know what's happening with windows phones before criticizing them.

70K to 90k.

Just get an Android.

At 90k, you should be able to get an Android that won't get seriously bogged down with age and time. And you also get a superior app store.

I would only recommend windows phone for a newbie when shopping on budget. (mainly because of the app offerings)

I would suggest you get your hands on one of these windows phones and try them out first.

Dude. i'm very very curious about the lumia 535, read and heard it has some touch screen issues, please have you experienced this? and if not where did you purchase yours... i'm trying to get one asap.
The only touch problem it has is that it is very very allergic to water. The smallest dampness can make it impossible to use until it dries up, that's the only touch problem I've noticed and I bought @mtn shop, 24,500.
Re: Differences Between Android And Window Phones by martineverest(m): 2:59pm On Mar 06, 2015
