Why is Windows better than Android?

[Nishant Sinha]

Ok guys I need to make my friend jealous of my Lumia.. So wat features can I hit them with???

 

[xandros9]

which Lumia do you have? it'll make it better if we know which model we're dealing with.

my input is the great design, fluid performance, primarily black color scheme...
I'll come up with more later probably

To me, it's not a simple matter of better or worse. When you measure of pure specs and stats, Windows Phone will be better at X, but Android will be better at Y, and iPhone will be better at Z. In my opinion, it's a matter of overall experience. To that, Windows Phone is my favorite. The user interface provides a great overview of the data you want to see on your phone, as well as almost always looking clean and fluid and consistent across different apps and phones . I think Apple's and Android's recent emphasis on UI have come as a result of WP. The core of the operating system was well optimized to run on smartphone environments, even with low powered ARM processors, the performance is generally very good for the OS itself.

The overall result just makes a generally enjoyable and satisfying mobile experience. It isn't always easy to show in commercials, and it won't make your friends jealous, but it's why I continue to use Windows Phone.

Some of these have been mentioned...
Cortana Assistant (try texting by voice works well, also get cortana to sing, tell a joke, do an impression, predictions, reminders etc )

Sat Nav its fully featured and has offline mapping and works world wide its a great app.

Emails are fast and easy to check in the notification centre also the email app is fast too.

posting photos to some social networks is faster on Windows Phone less steps to do.

Very fast navigation doesn't lag like the other OS's,

Very secure, less risk of data loss, identity theft.

There are many other reasons, cant think of them at the moment, But Windows phone is a solid choice and especially once Windows 10 is on our phones (possibly around June) or if on the preview maybe April or sooner. We will see the OS grow in size and sales in a huge way...This is just the beginning of the future.. Microsoft will lead the way...

additional, lots of loading and resuming screens

Personal opinion. That's what makes it better, nothing more nothing less.

Lol, I used to see a fair few but its improved a lot, battery saver allows you to disable background tasks, and you need to clear temp files, but I only see loading/resuming occasionally now...i am running the preview software on my lumia 830..but it beats andriod and ios hands down in many situations loading etc..

With their bright colours, Windows Phones are easier to see in the dark, so no need to use a Find My Phone type service.

If you have a 920, show your friends how you can use it to drive nails and also for self defense.

Your friend likely won't give a crap about avoiding Google, but aside from the fact that I hate that company with a passion, here is the #1 reason I stick with Windows Phone:

I turned on my Xperia Z2 (since sold) for the first time, and the Launcher crashed. The Launcher. Done.

Show your friend your XBox Avatar & how you can interact & even make him angry.

Flawless, lag free UI. Live tiles make up my day for almost everything. Start background on tiles, live updates on lock screen, glance etc. Offline maps(sometimes very important to me). Excellent camera(if you have pureview). Extended updates even for old phones.(WP 8 devices would be getting WP 10 update)
Also Nokia's build quality.
That's all I can think of...

hit him with the hard brick of all. ask the battery performance and compare. unless he is having note2 / s4 / s5 or htc one, u can outperform even with lumia 520.

Really how long does your battery last my Lumia 520 lasts not more than 6 hours without any usage .with usage don't even ask.1 hour of offline music eats about 20%.Not a problem with battery ,it's a genuine and brand new brought 1 month ago.

Or... hit him with the hard brick of Lumia 920. Literally.

Try a soft or a hard reset. If that doesn't fix it, go to Nokia care centre.
