And as I stated before, the real advantages of the 1520 are ignored while specs are bandied about as the only real measure. Why would I give up recording in Dolby digital for a minor bump in performance that in reality makes no difference? Or wireless charging? Or easy expandable storage? Just to open an app a few milliseconds faster?
The iPhone's audio recording capabilities leave quite a lot to be desired, I can agree with that because I've watched dozens of videos taken with an iPhone 5S and 6.
But the Dolby sound or the 4 distortion mics that Nokia keeps throwing around everywhere isn't amazing either, especially in windy situations it's hard to capture your own voice.
And I know that a 1520 will have advantages over an iPhone, but as a whole if you weigh the pros and cons you'll find the iPhone is superior, but the writer or the article has conveyed this message quite poorly.
people downplay app speed a lot. you start to notice those milliseconds when you're playing with your phone for a few hours a day (which may not apply to you).
take the iphone's screen latency for example. sure, just a few ms quicker, but it's damn noticeable after using it for a bit compared to android or wp devices.
speaking of screens, the iphone's appears much closer to the glass, which looks a lot cooler in my opinion.
I'm pretty sure that as far as screen latency goes the HTC One M8 topped that, but no one seems to mention it. If screen latency mattered a lot, the M8 for Windows will be the best bet.
But the rest of it, I would agree with. I've watched several speed tests between Windows Phone, Android and iOS and from my observation Android and iOS are truly a few seconds apart(iOS still wins) but Windows Phone is quite a bit behind in both app launch and multitasking capabilities.
And looking "cool" is truly subjective.
