nah but his points made more sense overall
htc explorer was a poorly made phone imho,my friend has one which he still uses(he dropped his iphone in a puddle),running CM and it lags like anything,i dont see how you can compare it to a 520
The Explorer used a very old Snapdragon processor, I was comparing multitasking. I know that the phone is slow even with Cyanogenmod, but multitasking is really good on Android.
Plus another issue that rooting fixed. The HTC Explorer came with a mere 512 MB internal storage, with barely 150 MB for users.
What people did with rooting? They managed to mount an SD card partition as internal storage, so most of us increased our internal storage by 2 - 4 GB.
Second the device launched with a 600 MHz processor, we managed to overclock to 878 MHz(some Picos could handle higher).
Psoham has no idea what rooting is and what it does.
@salmanahmad
Drill this into your head
First of all you don't understand what I say, you assume anything that comes to your mind, give some rubbish info about it, then you say you proved me wrong. Are you ever into your senses? Do you even think while speaking? I already said previously you have so many iPhone look alike phones. Android when it came into the market, at that time buying an iPhone was a luxury. Everyone wanted an iPhone, but it was too costly. At that time Nokia was dominating the market, people started buying android because it looked similar to iOS. That's how it gained popularity, then android started pushing out updates, which helped people differentiate between ios & android. How many times have I said that & how many times more do i have to repeat it? You think windows came after android, so it copied android. Nonsense. All those crap you told about Android that it drains more battery because it has 2k displays & all, its totally rubbish. What would you say about low end phones. It primarily depends on the OS, regarding battery drain & power consumption & secondarily on displays& all what you told. Also android has the most ads, 70%, iOS has around 50% & windows10%. I've already told in my previous posts that android is a power hungry OS, it needs a higher processor to run smoothly as compared to iOS or Windows, there are thousands of sites who say that. I've also told that there are hundreds of videos on YouTube which shows that windows 7.5/7.8 is faster than iPhone 4. How many times would you make me repeat one & the same thing. How many Times? Until android came, only computers were the one to get viruses & now its normal to get a virus in Android, isn't it? I once thought nexus were the best Android phones, until my friend bought a nexus 5 before 2 months. He got a virus in his phone in just 1 week. That's the power of Android.
I have my 1320, it once only had 760 kb phone memory remaining because it was on wp8 before 2 months(at that time apps & games couldn't be moved to sd card). It still didn't lag while running apps or games, my old Lumia 710 had 1mb free memory, it still didn't lag a bit. You think that your Android phone doesn't lag, so fill up your phone memory to an extent what I did, if then your android phone doesn't lag, then I might say you are lucky
Tell me one thing, did I not prove you wrong when you made an association between the HTC One and iPhone, or when you didn't know anything about open source, rooting or jailbreaking.
You continually overlook the glaring mistakes in your photos and posts, first of all one of the photos you posted of an LG device copying Android (the KM900) didn't even run Android!
And you believe that just because of a few other OEMs copying iOS, Android became popular with zero evidence and many of the OEMs came years after Android had already become popular!
Android never looked similar to iOS, pull out some photos of Android 1.0 and compare them to iOS, people got confused because everyone thought that touchscreen devices are called 'iPhone', it was because of ignorance. Not because of why Google's Android looked similar (IT DIDN'T).
I didn't say that Windows Phone copied everything from Android just because it was released afterwards, but both of you cotinously keep bringing OSes like Symbian into this whereas it was about Windows Phone and Android.
You should read more on how Android became popular rather than coming up with crazy theories that no other reputable site has ever pointed out.
You can say anything you want all day, as long as you have no proof or logic behind it, no one will believe you.
Plus you also overlook the fact that while notification center is arguable, Android was the first OS to give a notification centre with power toggles and swipeable notifications, which Windows Phone copied, did it not?
Android phones do consume more data and are more resource hungry primarily because of how much they can do.
An easy example is that, I can transcode a video in the background, while sending an pre recorded MP3 on Whatsapp, while also gaming and chating with my friends using Facebook Messenger chat heads. I can do all this at once, does it take battery, yes. But does it make Android better than other OSes that struggle to do one task? Yes.
If you stick to using one app at a time, like you do with iOS and Windows Phone then Android will even work just as smoothly. Especially because of the performance improvements in Android L.
Your argument about advertisements are complete BS. Windows Phone has more ads in a lot of apps because you guys don't have official apps and the 3rd party devs need money.
Do I see any ads in 9GAG, WPCentral, Android Central? No. I can't believe how you can say Android uses see the most ads, so you have any proof?
And about Android being resource hungry, it's not.

It's not normal to get viruses on Android, it's a rare occurrence. Android is still more secure than Windows Phone:

I filled up my Lumia 520's storage nearly fully and you can't believe how much it lagged. All OSes lag when the memory is filled. You we're lucky if your Lumia 1320 or 710 did, but all phones usually do.
The speed tests made between Android are quite old when Android was truly resource hungry and slow, but since then we've had Project Butter and Project Svelte.
To see a comparison between speed on Android and Windows Phone now(and a comparison between touch response):

*HINT* Android wins. *HINT*
^^in addition to your points,salmanahmad doesnt seem to realize that symbian ,windows mobile,meego and maemo are owned by Ms and came before android
so android did copy them and ios.windows phone is based on meego on the N9
Salman Ahmad doesn't seem to "realize* that Symbian, Windows Mobile and Meego and Maemo we're owned by MS, because *THEY WEREN'T*.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maemo
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbian
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MeeGo
Maemo was made by the Hilden Foundation.
Symbian was made by Accenture on behalf of Nokia, not *MICROSOFT*.
MeeGo was made by the Linux Foundation and Nokia.
I can't see Microsoft anywhere.
The reason why I don't believe you guys is pretty apparent, you don't research and a lot of your information is wrong.
My friend doesn't use torrent, still got a virus, I don't know why.
I download torrents on my PC, no viruses at all even when I am not a premium user
What kind of virus did he get exactly, if I may ask?
play store has more viruses than every torrent ever made and every windows virus put together
Oh, wow. How do you explain millions of Android users that have never gotten a virus?
The truth is, all stores and operating systems can and will be hacked someday.
Android is more secure than Windows Phone, however you hear more about Android getting viruses primarily because it the most popular OS out there and a natural target for hackers.
Luckily we manage to get Google Play services updates that patch those nasty hacks.
Even, iOS, being one of the most secure OSes out there got an app with a virus in it.
Windows Phone hasn't reported any massive hacks, because even the general population is unwilling to try Windows Phone, hackers are pretty far away from even trying to do anything with this unpopular OS(in comparison to other operating systems).
Unlike either of you, I'll provide proof for my statements:
