5 Reasons Windows Phone Is Better Than Android by Nobody: 7:01pm On Jun 03, 2015

so of course yes there are a billion reasons android is better than windows phones but here are five major aspect android lags behind windows phone

1. Software updates
good news we are expecting windows 10 update in the next few months and all windows phone including the N14,000 lumia 430 would be able to be updated to windows 10 the same day its released, all phones released with windows 8 now run 8.1 and this is not just for lumia phones, htc and other brands also get updates the same time. sadly that is not the news for android, android 5.0 lollipop came with nexus 6 and got only to nexus 5, and 4, google did not make an update for galaxy nexus because they said it passed the time frame of 48 months, exactly my point, an update need to be made for each and every phone when it comes to android and small brands like tecno don't have that time and money so they never get updates. HTC is still the best at updating its android phones, as far as htc m7 got 5.0 lollipop, however Samsung galaxy s4 released the same year with m7 has no 5.0 update, then users has to opt-in for the idea of using custom roms


2. OS speed
windows phone is generally faster than android, it does not hang, lag or delay at any time, but you cant say the same for android, if android wants to start, you will nearly cry. hopefully bigger android phones with stronger processors makes the phones close to having no lagging issues, but as time goes on and you begin to fill up your phone, you begin to notice it. but even at then, with the lowest specs you can think off, windows phone wont lag not even with 512 ram and a single core processor.

3. battery usage
i know android phones has the best battery life in the world, but that is because they also have the biggest battery. all thighs being equal, android os use more power than windows phone, when i mean all things being equal, i mean if we are to compare battery life of two phones of the same specification but these two os, the windows phone would last hours longer, example is the htc m8, sites reports that the windows phone version has 20% capability than the android version even though they have exactly the same specs.


4. Quality
now about 80% of android phones in the market are sub-standard and the probability of you buying a sub-standard android phone is high,
this is because android is not consistent so what you see inside a Samsung is not what is inside Tecno or infinix, for example the latter phones has separated phone memory, they have the internal memory then phone memory would act as in built SD card, but still leave a slot for a third SD card. the internal memory is most times not up to a gigabyte but the phone memory is more than 2GB sometimes. now when reading the specifications on the phone, nothing is said about the internal memory, what you see is 2GB ROM as phone memory, when you purchase it, you install only few apps then you begin to see "internal memory running out, please delete files to free disk space" and they might be basic apps that cant move to SD card, or stock apps you cant uninstall, this would also prevent you from installing apps via google play. but if you check your memory space via file manager, you would see enough free space bought in phone and memory, unless you go to your storage settings. this is part of the few troubles you go through buying a cheap android. you cant go through this trouble on windows phone because you got a cheap phone, in fact if you place a lumia 430(N14,000) beside a lumia 930(N100,000) the only difference you would notice are, screen size and resolution, cache of apps and little speed plus few features addition, not like an aspect was complety changed, and its the same across all windows phone, weather HTC or Yezz or LG or any other brand, the is literally no difference. and to addition of why windows phone brands are also quality is the fact that android is free and windows phone is paid for plus Microsoft has a minimum requirement before you can build their phones and minimum specification of any phone, but google is free as a bird. now for a company to pay for licence and build a windows phone, it would take them courage and experience or a company with a goal who can build quality brands but for android even i can open a factory today a budget only cost of building the phones and begin to make android phones. this is the same reason you would find a Chinese BlackBerry or iphone or even lumia running android in the market embarassed clones also fall in this category.



5. security
among the top 4 OS IOS, android, windows phone and blackberry, blackberry has the best security while android has the worst, which makes wp higher than android in security. one of the many security issues android have is side loading of apps, which WP does not allow, you might think side loading of apps is a plus but actually, side loading of apps opens door to malware and other virus, plus it make android developers don't see the profit from their app when sold on google play. so developers are left to opt-in for in-app purchase and not depend on play store. there are also a lot of sub-standard apps on play store, google careless, they only remove apps that mean bad business for them like "block ads" app while apps get cross checked before they get to windows store. you also don't have ads taking over your screen on windows phone, or one app downloading a brother app behind your back and installs it for you, or apps disturbing you with notifications like "your ram is full, clear memory with DU booster" or icons hanging all over your screen.they are also many other professional security issues WP solve than androids lacks

i know android OS is still overall better than windows phone an can perform outstanding well on high hardware, this article is just let let you know wp is not as bad as you think, and there are aspects which even your favorite OS(android) lags behind windows. plus people fear to buy windows phone because of apps, well windows phone has all the apps you can think of now, whatsapp, instagram, bbm, facebook/twitter, snapchat, subwaysurfers, candycrush saga, score, dream league, gta san andreas, fifa 15, asphalt 8, pintrest, linkedin, just name it even channels tv and cool fm and other Nigerian app. even exclusive apps like HALO. and if you cant find an app in the windows store, im sure there is a better replacement wink

this is my article, no source.

please contribute wisely, i hate comments of low reasoning. if you disagree with a point, just say it and state your reasons. and i would reply.
you can also ask me anything about WP. if i don't know it i would google it. thanks

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

I used a Windows phone some time ago and I hated it afterwards. So why are you trying too hard to make no point? Even your latest Windows phone 10 when it eventually arrives can not compete with previous iterations of android. It's not about releasing updates ; it's about what you get from them

among the top 4 OS IOS, android, windows phone and blackberry, blackberry has the best security while android has the worst, which makes wp higher than android in security. one of the many security issues android have is side loading of apps, which WP does not allow, you might think side loading of apps is a plus but actually, side loading of apps opens door to malware and other virus, plus it make android developers don't see the profit from their app when sold on google play. so developers are left to opt-in for in-app purchase and not depend on play store. there are also a lot of sub-standard apps on play store, google careless, they only remove apps that mean bad business for them like "block ads" app while apps get cross checked before they get to windows store. you also don't have ads taking over your screen on windows phone, or one app downloading a brother app behind your back and installs it for you, or apps disturbing you with notifications like "your ram is full, clear memory with DU booster" or icons hanging all over your screen.they are also many other professional security issues WP solve than androids lacks

i know android OS is still overall better than windows phone an can perform outstanding well on high hardware, this article is just let let you know wp is not as bad as you think, and there are aspects which even your favorite OS(android) lags behind windows. plus people fear to buy windows phone because of apps, well windows phone has all the apps you can think of now, whatsapp, instagram, bbm, facebook/twitter, snapchat, subwaysurfers, candycrush saga, score, dream league, gta san andreas, fifa 15, asphalt 8, pintrest, linkedin, just name it even channels tv and cool fm and other Nigerian app. even exclusive apps like HALO. and if you cant find an app in the windows store, im sure there is a better replacement wink

this is my article, no source.

please contribute wisely, i hate comments of low reasoning. if you disagree with a point, just say it and state your reasons. and i would reply.
you can also ask me anything about WP. if i don't know it i would google it. thanks

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 close source operating systems.
