As the title says it all, feel free to discuss and argue over the limitations of each OS, the strengths and weaknesses right here, without the Gestapo mods closing the other threads lol(no offense
Limitations of Android as compared to WP-
I find many glaring flaws in Android-
No official file manager.(Nexus, and some other phones).
No moving apps to SD. (This was in 2.3, why did Google remove it? Are they crazy?) Also you can't uninstall system apps.
Apps don't close. If you press the back button, the app exits, but keeps running in the background. You have to go to settings and close the app.WTH?
Lag is present eventually, if not immediately(Samsung= king of lag. Yes, even nexus too. I've not reset my 620 since I bought it last June, and it is smoother than my cousin's year old nexus 5 bought last year, which I'm using right now. Project butter, and now Volta, how long will they keep promising, lets see...)
My biggest gripe- No updates. (except for nexus, name a brand that updates both it's budget and high-end phones for greater than 2 years. None.)
Security is lax. Need to install an anti virus. (Search for antivirus on WP. No result). Open source= open to viruses.
No advanced camera settings. Show me an app that can do manual focus, like Nokia camera.
Phone gets heated when using 3g. (Of the 7 phones I've tested, all of them have this problem. Not my 620. Why?
Low, laggy performance on budget devices, unlike WP. Why? Seven years and they couldn't solve this problem.
Lack of a camera button. Even devices with a camera button are not so functional with it as compared to WP. The Lumia 930 will take a picture faster than a nexus 5, when both of them are locked, password protection on.
Piracy is possible easily on Android. (In India, very few pay for apps on Android. For example, my friend sees that asphalt 7 is paid on his phone. What does he do? He searches - asphalt 7.apk download, and installs for free. Developers earnings depend upon these purchases. Why does Google do this?)
No default call+SMS filter built in, have to install an app for that.
No carrier billing.
IRCTC and NTES apps are not available. Heck, you can't book train tickets with your Android device. WTH? My WP can do this.
