    Leaving the 950 behind for the LG V30

    Agree, I use Launcher 10 and it is closest to Win 10 look and feel. I tried most of other Metro like launchers and all of them do not come close to Launcher 10.

    From Lumia 950 to Moto Z - what will I loose?

    I love live titles but I agree it is a matter of preference. I personally do not like Android icon based launchers because they are so dull IMHO and not as usable as metro style launcher on the phone.

    From Lumia 950 to Moto Z - what will I loose?

    Funny fact is that Microsoft actually developed Android launcher that you can install from Google Play that looks nothing like Metro UI. It is just same generic Android launcher with icons. IMHO I would really appreciate if Microsoft will bring Metro UI to Android. Then we are talking :)

    From Lumia 950 to Moto Z - what will I loose?

    Yeah, that particular "Launcher 10" launcher does have Live titles for Photos, Messages and some other apps. It works exactly the same as on Windows 10. But! The battery usage is much higher with Live titles activated on Android. So if you are after battery life then I recommend to disable them...

    Finally leaving the 950 behind - which Android phone is comparable?

    I changed L950 to Moto Z few months ago. If you are looking for a similar form factor then Moto Z is not for your. it is more rounded though otherwise it is a great phone. On a side note if you like Windows 10 Metro UI then install "Launcher 10" launcher. It is almost exactly the same as on...

    From Lumia 950 to Moto Z - what will I loose?

    I continue using my Moto Z and I found out I could configure Metro UI on it. So the only thing I am missing from Lumia 950 now are: - Great camera (Moto Z has so so camera) - Great navigation keys (I hate Android navigation) The rest Moto Z is better. Look how my Moto Z look now :)

    From Lumia 950 to Moto Z - what will I loose?

    Ok, finally I got Moto Z and after 1 day of usage here is the difference: Moto Z minuses in comaprison with Lumia 950: - Design - I prefer rectangular Lumia 950 - Volume keys - those are so small on Moto Z that I cannot press them. Terrible. - Browsing - page scrolling is not as smooth as in...

    I have ordered Moto Z to replace mine 950 and 2 Samsung A5 to replace fathers 920 and mothers 650. Let's see how it turns out moving the entire family to Android. Except the wise GF who stays with 950

    From Lumia 950 to Moto Z - what will I loose?

    Yeah, but many major companies do not make apps for Windows Mobile. I imagine I would have better control of my home theater, file servers , IoT if I buy Android phone. It remained to be seen. Even company I work for develop apps only for Android and iPhone. We dropped Windows a couple of years...

    From Lumia 950 to Moto Z - what will I loose?

    Due to I need an Android phone at work I am switching from Lumia 950 to Moto Z. I know what I gain with android - a lot of apps. But what would I lose? Of course I will be missing excellent Windows 10 Mobile UI and very good design of Lumia 950. But do I loose anything else after switching?
