OP, please stop all these baseless comparisons between ope-source Android and close-source operating systems. Android is a very open, and versatile OS. Have you ever heard of or seen a custom ROM for ios, bb, or windows? have you evey heard or seen any OEM's device running ios, bb, or windows apart from the OEMs that own these close operating systems? The Droid operating system is different, it's unique, heterogeneous, simple and most importantly very free and OPEN. The owners of the Droid OS are seperate from the owners of the OEMs that run OS on their devices hence the difference in UI, sepecs sheet, etc. of every Android Os device. Please restrict your comparisons between the closed source operating systems.

This is the only inteligent post

I thought about getting windows phone a year ago. But tge app limitations discouraged me. But for now.
Put windows OS in a phone like infinix hot note. Nothing will stop me from dumping my android.

People talk about this app store thing please I need to know exactly what apps they are talking about in the playstore that they can't find in windows app store?

For me there is no important app missing from both stores but on android you can get 100 duplicates of a single app doing the same thing which really doesn't make things better.

I own both android and windows phone and I still rate windows phone above android.

OS without enough applications don't worth anything despite its catchy features or smoothness. Window pc still occupy major share of the market because of their openness to software development and number softwares that do different tasks


The above feature of android surpassed those your assertions of windows phone.

I rather go for android which both game sharpness and app texture are pretty great thing to talk home about where Only OS one can compare with it is IOS.

its not your fault.. I believe windows phone is not for Nigerians cos alot of their brains cant take it.. so they stick to the simple android OS.. when I see a Nigerian who is able to fully use a windows phone, I would be impressed.

besides I believe windows phone is for the business class and not ordinary Nigerians


Lumia 535 all the way

True, but I prefer android. Was using tecno f7, it developed earpiece problem, I dumped it for a new Nokia lumia 920, which I've used for the past four month.

I swear I won sell am repair my tecno. If I see person way offer me 30k, I go sell am, or better still swap am with good android.

Dude, stop dreaming. I have both platforms and have used them extensively. Started with Android and then decided to go out of my way to give the Windows OS a shot. That platform is still a long way from being ready for mainstream. A whole lot of stuff that I took for granted in other OSes are missing on Windows. Anyone saying Windows doesn't lag has apparently hasn't used a 512mb ram model. I use one and I know how often I usually get the "resuming" screen and how many app crashes I have experienced. Compared to Android with 512 ram, Windows is quite crappy. Anyone that says otherwise is welcome to his/her opinion but that doesn't in anyway change nor dispute the fact.


when last did u use a windows phone.. and which one did you use

I dunno for u bro,may be boring stuffs are interesting to u, Lumia phones have all their functions and apps poured out on just the home screen and dats too boring for me. U can simply say that most windows phones are under-rated but that doesnt mean they are Better than Android phones.The best windows phone is 100 steps behind the best android phone. grin

This is why the security of Android is easily compromised; the sources and security cannot be verified as 'anyone' can wakeup today to inject what he wishes into the OS, even malware that can steal your vital data.
I love android because it's open, but I must say that the points mentioned by the OP, I agree totally. Nice article.



So true but depending on how you want to use your phone, if you desist from rooting and downloading from sources outside playstore and stop using apps without verifiable signature, i bet you my shiit, you can't compare security architecture of android to Windows phone..


Afterall we are not westerners who make use of online payment platform frequently so we are not all that security vulnerable. We dont buy apps, we don't buy anything from Facebook, we dont shop online etc.
Hackers can only steal my Facebook, gmail, twitter, Nairaland account password, we are only prone to minor security threat.

Average Nigerian smart phone user cares about facebook, browsing, WhatsApp apps. Nothing more. Those that care about online payments and sort like that new how to protect themselves against security loopholes

bros, you're so wrong, htc doesn't always have the android updates faster than some phones... when i was flexing my lollypop 5.1.1 on my nexus 5, am sure you were on kitkat 4.4.4 and now that am playing around with android m developer preview you're probably still not on lollypop 5.1.1... Also, the picture you captioned nexus 6 is not nexus 6 but nexus 5. Thank you

Lol. Depends on what you call "professional". I mean take me for instance. I'm a System/Network Engineer and many a time I am called to work on a remote site. If my laptop goes down or if I'm in a bus, I simply whip out my android phone and launch one of my many tools and start working immediately. I have various remote desktop tools including popular ones like teamviewer and not so popular ones like TightVNC and logmein. I can log into a router/switch/firewall with a terminal app like Android terminal. I can ssh into servers using the many ssh apps available for me. My buddy uses his Samsung tablet to design and edit his designs that he did on his system on Autocad when he is on site and no pc with him. Another uses Adobe Creative Suite on his tablet and creates and edits his media works on the go. So, you can see bro, android is quite "professional" enough for me and a whole lot of other professionals too. No be looks we wan chop otherwise we all would join the Apple bandwagon.

All the points listed by the op is also synonymous to bb10. It's fast, updates are guaranteed, doesn't lag et Al. Since it's also same with bb10,we can also conclude bb10 is better than android.

IPhone 6 and 6 plus lags like sh*t, iPhone 5 on ios8 lags like hell. It also means windows and bb10 are the best since android and iOS lags

Mind you the so called best would love to trade place with either of the latter

Ok, that's nice, especially being able to use Android for secure shell connection. But, have you tried these with windows phone? Though I haven't but I believe a windows phone would do all you do using Android. One way or the other I still prefer windows phone smiley
