I have a 950, Note 4 (rooted) and S8. There are certain work apps I use that just don't exist on W10M, and the choice of apps on Android is bewildering. But like may others here, the 950/W10M combination does some things so much better.
I'm aware that a lot of these gripes/features are also addressed in the Apple ecosystem, but given that iOS is basically nagware and Apple are a bunch of crooks, I'll never go back there again!
- My pet HATE on these Android phones is the utterly crappy handling of Contacts. Once I add the 5 different accounts I use, plus WhatApp, Facebook and so on, contacts are a mess. Digging about in the settings to choose which accounts' contacts to display versus which to hide, or trying to merge contacts from multiple sources, is a life-sapping experience. W10M just links them together - easy.
- Email clients on Android are another source of pain. There are so many, but some support ActiveSync, others don't. Some sync calendars, others don't. I must have tried 20 different ones trying to hit on the sweet spot. Failed.
- Cortana in the car via Bluetooth is still the best.
- The fact that notifications are shared across phone and PC, and that I can send and receive SMS from Skype, are great features.
