10 Amazing Facts About Windows Phone by Playwhizard(m): 11:03pm On May 26, 2016
. Quality Build Phones With Exceptional Design
For Everyone
The biggest ammo to join the arsenal of Windows
phones has to be Nokia’s partnership. With phones
ranging from $180 to $425, sporting screen sizes from
4″ to 6″, Nokia has plenty of choices not just for the
budget-conscious but also those are looking for a
powerful, sleek phone, for instance like Nokia Lumia
1020 with 41 megapixel camera sensor and Full HD
video. You definitely can get good value for your
money if you just keep your eyes open for a good
alternative phone, rather than stop looking once it
isn’t on a “popular” OS.








2. Gorgeous Apps
Although the Windows App Store lags behind the Play
Store in terms of quantity, what counts with apps is
the quality and so far Windows phones have the
basic necessities covered . Windows Phone is not an
open source platform and Microsoft has a stricter
criteria set than Google about which apps and games
can populate their respective marketplaces.
As a result, the app store responds with superior and
better apps, and cleaner options , than what Android
apps can offer. They are consistent, gorgeous,
minimalistic and in many cases, look better than they
do on Android. I’d suggest you take a look at 6tag (3rd
party app for Instagram), Spotify, Skype, and
Facebook.














3. Seamless Email And Social Media Integration
Windows Phone with its mission to build an end-to-
end product experience for its customers, has a soild
built-in social media integrated hub that they use;
it’s very smooth and fluid. The People Hub gets
updates from social networks like Facebook, Twitter,
and LinkedIn. Rather than opening individual apps
one by one, all your friends’ status updates and
notifications can be viewed within the People Hub.
Facebook integration on Windows Phone also makes it
better than Android when it comes to tagging
pictures. It also allows you to use your phone
contacts as tags. You can switch between Facebook
chat and normal text messaging with your contacts
on Windows Phone.











4. Microsoft Integration and Support
Those who are used to Microsoft’s service and
software would be glad to know Windows Phone
works well with Microsoft products like Outlook.com.
OneDrive Skype, Xbox, and OneNote. Unlike Android,
Windows Phone comes with free Office in the OS
itself. The mobile version is handy for on-the-go
professionals. You can view and edit, Excel,
PowerPoint and Word documents straight on your
Windows Phone. It also integrates with OneDrive and
users can save their compatible files on Microsoft’s
cloud storage service.










5. Consistency Across All Devices
Android comes in so many shapes and sizes, so
performance and quality are always a question.
Windows Phone however works well on all levels of
devices from the entry-level Lumia 520 to the high-
end Lumia 1020 without any noticeable lag
whatsoever. The minimalist design approach is
applied at all Nokia’s Lumia range of devices and
known for best build quality.












6. Customizations on Lockscreen
Windows Phone allows you to check out your
notifications from your lockscreen. Not only you can
change Background pictures in Lock screen
settings, but Windows Phones also allow the
integration of live apps on the lockscreen. Some of
the better app integrations are Bing and Facebook.
Bing displays the Bing Picture of the Day while
Facebook displays photos from your albums .
You can also choose from photos of yourself or create
a selection of photos to be shown on your lockscreen.
Another cool thing that you could do is to configure
the lock screen to display artist information when
playing music.













7. Play your XBox games on Windows Phone
