Awesome article. The windows phone articles never get old! When I cracked my red 1520 I got the elite x3, for all the reasons you say, it was pretty damn cool - but not enough, with bad camera and still not as sexy as the lumias. I went on eBay and got another 1520, felt a whole lot...

8.1 it was nearly perfect. The apex of the WP story was then, smooth and crisp with some high end hardware. 10 was a complete sign of giving up; lots of unique features from the past were dropped: Social integration with People Hub, Pivot screens, kids then apps corner, Hubs in general, one...

Looking at the options as a former WP user, I decided to stay the F away from Microsoft Launcher. Launcher10 is awesome, extremely impressed by the thoroughness and attention to detail to give a great start screen experience. I'd like to know who this developer is - Kudos! What are apps that...

It performs very well, 6 GB of ram makes it super smooth... I mean the apps that I use most (Twitter, Telegram, Whatsapp) are great. I'm not crazy about trying to get every app, I feel using WP allowed me to carry on life without an "app for that"...but I could see people wanting to switch for...

UPDATE: If anyone still GAF, I did buy the Xiaomi Mi Mix 6.4 in screen. This is the first gen, not the Mi Mix 2, particularly because they made the newer one a bit smaller and rounded the corners...I'm Just kinda picky on that. This MiMix is literally the same size as the 1520 in physical...

thanks. it would be so efficient for MSFT to make a photos app or integrate it with stock android photos, especially if they want people to upload their cameraroll to onedrive.

thanks!! Yeah I've been afraid that the SD card gets ruined or something. and now that I have your attention, is there a built in picture viewer which syncs with one drive camera roll, or do I have to always open up Onedrive to see the pictures?

Can I take the SD card full of pics,music, etc.. from my Lumia 1520 and just pop it into an Android phone and see everything? Does it need to be formatted or something? Thanks!

thanks. Now that Uber is working again (as a PWA) I can keep my 1520 until "the next big thing", I'm wondering what the Note 9 looks like, and possibly hold out until 2019.

i wish it was larger, 5.5 seems small and in the US there is no store where I can see it in person.

thanks for your answers folks. Yeah I think I'll start with Square Home 2. I understand everyone who says they don't want to re-create WP in android. But there are just some things that I really like, vertical scroll and app management on a start screen and then alphabetical list on the...

I still havent jumped ship, but I see a couple windows phone launchers, like Square Home. Is there a particular one people have used long-term? I like the ability to hold a large phone with one hand and scroll for apps with an up and down flick (not side swipes, but up and down) . I prefer...

Thanks to both who suggested the XA ultra. I like the dimensions, but really not looking for a "mid-range" phone. As a WP user, I'm likely to hold onto a phone for a long time so I want to get the best I can...Have also been spoiled by having great cameras. I wish the XZ2 Premium would have...

The Xiaomi MI Mix (6.4 inch) really catches my eye, but it's dated. Thanks jakoh, I am leaning towards the Huawei P20 pro to get those dimensions. Sony XA2 ultra also looks better with right angle corners, but apparently its low-end.

I'm looking for an android in similar physical dimensions as the Lumia 1520. 6 inch or large that is wide (as opposed to the slim narrow trend). I like a stand-out Phone. My red 1520 constantly gets noticed on its physical beauty, body material, rectangle/sharp Edge look without a case. Any...
