They are both great for student. with android you can get any application you want in terms of studies but you may not have good battery life. Windows phone only have a few application but it have great battery life.

Please learn how to read before commenting. There is no place i wrote which operating system is better but rather i tried to give a simple explanation to the op question which is "which one is better for student". From the way you jumped without reading simply means you are lying when you said you use the two OS. Yes the tecno L5 battery is good but that is because the Tecno L5 have a mediocre performance. lumia 520 a 2013 Windows phone performs better than tecno L5. I rather have a phone with 2000mah battery with well optimized OS than have a phone with poor performance and poor Camera with no OTA update. Mind you i am using android and if you have truly used windows phone you will know the only down side of windows phone is applications. Just imaging using 4000mah or 5000mah battery in windows phone.

1. 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
If you own an XBox, Windows Phone has the perfect XBox integration to help you get the most out of your games, even on low-RAM devices. Microsoft has worked hard to integrate Xbox functionality , meaning you can work with your console avatar to gain points, check your Gamerscore, message your friends and see your avatar.
Despite Android having more games, Windows Phones get Xbox games such as Asphalt 8: Airborne, Jetpack Joyride, Six Guns and FIFA 14 for free. All of the games run smoothly; even on the low end Nokia Lumia Phones, playing games is a breeze.

8. Versatility of Live Tiles
Windows Phones allow users to pin whatever they want and how they want. Instead of widgets, each app on your home screen acts as a Live Tile. They give you a quick glimpse of what’s going on in each individual app. We can see the time and weather via the weather tile and notifications from Twitter, WhatsApp, SMS and email all from the main screen.
Widgets on Android are their own
separate entities and their customized looks as designed by their developers. These designs thus can hardly mesh together aesthetically, especially without any form of standardization. Tiles, on the other hand, blend in and complement the overall aesthetic perfectly and they also change dynamically.

9. Offline Maps Integration
Windows Phone have HERE Maps and HERE Drive integrated to its Lumia range, basically Nokia’s alternative to Android’s Google Maps. It comes with full offline capabilities. Some Android smartphones such as Galaxy S4 also has offline navigation in Google Maps, but while Google Maps only allows you to download small areas of offline maps, you can download maps of countries with the Nokia Lumia Phones and navigate across the country without a data connection while driving.

10. Ever Expandable Storage
Most Windows Phone, even the entry level ones have 8GB of internal storage and supports a microSD card of up to 64 GB. The free 7 GB cloud storage from Onedrive makes it even better. This reduces the need to fall back on third-party online storage solutions, which may come with compatibility issues. OneDrive lets you backup content to the cloud, Windows tablets, PCs, and of course the Windows Phone.

Conclusion
While Android offers greater app flexibility, Windows Phone offers great potential, better integration over more platforms and fluidity . With the changing smartphone market, the world needs a solid platform that has quality and the potential to develop into a full range solution, that spans across mobile, desktop and the cloud. The strategies are already in place, and if Nokia and Windows Phone can weather the storm, they may one day be able to unseat Android from its iron grip of the smartphone OS market.

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

Add to it, windows consumes data more than android

Are you saying Android is now Nokia touch?!! You have to differentiate between a smartphone and a feature phone. Even without using your android the battery depreciates. Android is a power hungry operating system no amount of battery life is ever enough for it. list out an android phone that last up to six days or are you excluding usage.

What are you talking?!! Look am an android user but lets be truthful OK. We look for tweak or Data cheats because all smart phones consume data. in sincerity android consume data than Windows phone that's one of the main reasons we turn off applications or uninstall applications we don't need. i bet ur auto synchronisation is off.

That's some of the main reason windows is some how better. For example can you play fifa14 very well on Gionee p2. that's a big NO!!. But you are allowed to download it from play store. And fifa 15 is about 1.2GB. Thats 1.2GB of data wasted. I don't get it why you are allowed to download apps that are not compatible with your android device.

When you talk of Bbm on windows. You talk of when it was published and stages of development, just like it was on android. e.g iphone first got a well polished Bbm application before android just like android is getting it before windows.

Charging problem: There is notting like the word charging problem in windows phone because
Windows phone devices will switch on and then go to their 'sleep' or lockscreen mode while charging.

OS updates: that is where android devices are very poor. i cant still believe no tecno device have gotten an OS update. only nexus devices or some few oem give updates to their old devices. Mean while low end lumia 520 a 2013 smartphone have gotten every major updates from Microsoft.

Half of applications in Google play store are full of ads and most applications in playstore are useless and are to buggy.

windows phone don't need xda developers...they have windows central.

Operating system have Developer unlocked which in android terms is called Rooting.

Windows phone have inbuilt battery saver. while battery savers in android are never enough to increase battery life, you still need to reduce brightness and off eventually everything.
