Elxandre:

Samsung still makes 512mb devices Mr.
And for your info, MS doesn't make them anymore!

Some of you need to read up more, not just jumping on what the bandwagon say.

Mr 'Reader' why not mention the exact Samsung devices that they produced recently (2015) using 512mb ram? The least you'll see below 1gig is 750mb ram and those were outed some more than two years ago e.g. The original Galaxy grand

FYI, Windows phone is the bandwagon in this regard coz Microsoft just wants a piece of the mobile phone action, alas it's a poor effort which will fizzle out in no time.

Collinz2:
guy u are dodging my question. Wht are budget phones?

He won't dare answer coz he's comparing cheap under-spec androids to mid range Windows phone devices.

Truth hurts but someone's gat to say it, Windows phone is wack!

one question, have you used windows phone before? For how long?

well that above is my last comment. The argument between os has been on for years and is not about to stop. Elxandre, i advice you to stop commenting as well. Nobody has been able to convince another os user since it started. Even a java user will have reasons. I rest my case

Samsung Galaxy J1 was made in 2015 Man!

WP is no poor effort except you are ignorant of tech happenings.

He's Beating around the bush, so I can't respond.

Yes boss!

I'm not trying to convince them, I'm just saying some of the points of criticism are lame.

lol

i and no one in my family, will ever use a window's mobile... the last one was Headache, annoying experience.

orimion:
one question, have you used windows phone before? For how long?

Indeed I've, for a couple of weeks but the GUI was horrible. Just had it for trials & I must say I wasn't impressed.

To each his own though...

This Op is as naive as what i can think of.

* windows stores has almost 700k apps compared to android of 1.2 millions....how is dat 10x?

*my lumia 640 xl plays asphalt 8,fifa 15 without lag and its snapdragon 400..lumia 930 is snapdragon 801 and 1520 is 800.....even d lowestend fone,lumia 430 is snapdragon 400....where did u see snapdragon 200,if not 3yrs old lumia 520?

*
*windows fones has the best GPU of all fones.lumia 930 and 1520 (both more than 1 yr old) are d best gaming fones present.....even 512 ram windows fones beat android 1gb ram.

* lumia is far more secured than ios and android....blackberry leads in terms of security followed by lumia(both have never xperience jail break)

*lumia consume the least batteries of all phones...after heavy browsing and music for 4 to 5 hrs,my lumia 640 xl will show only 10% drop in battery...its true u cannot switch off ur lumia while charging,but their batteries re superb.....where did u get the 'high battery consumption ' form?

*i would like to know which features of windows 10 ll be missing in low end lumia xcept windows continuum which is a high end feature?



Op,stop posting rubbish,abeg...front page no be by force

Naivity is op problem...he is using old lumias,probably windows 7 fones....d guy is just too deluded

Elxandre:
Some of your points are trash.

Updates?
Tell me which 2012 phone will still receive an update in late 2015?

Gaming?
Any 1GB ram WP will play any game on the store without lag.
Show me a budget Android that won't lag horribly after six months of usage? Budget WPs run smoothly even after a year of use.

Thrash compared to iPhone?
The same iPhone that can't connect to just any PC to transfer music or movies as you wish?
An OS that doesn't even have a file manager? lol.
The most important thing the iPhone has over WP is apps and that marquee factor.


An unjailbroken iPhone is inferior to a WP!

I'll add more later. Conserving my battery for more important things.

Budget fones are low end or cheap fones while high end are the xpensive ones

Collinz2:
u are nt getting me. What are budget phones?

Well said,i pity all these semi illiterates dat just wake up and open a thrash as 'thread'....à.microsoft is throwing lumias cheaply at ppl,and dey are ignoring it.by d time microsoft launches windows 10,dey wont get it at dat prix

orimion:
Op, are you stupid? How can you write a post on an os you haven't used before? Iphone has jailbreak, windows phone have nothing? Ever heard of developer unlock? Should i show you a screenshot of fifa15, mc5, nova3(all deployed) on my lumia 822? How is not being able to switch off and charge a problem? Its not like android that switching off makes charging faster! What suck in internet explorer? If the thread on xda was dead, what about windows central, windowsphone hub? Do you know windows phone has an inbuilt battery saver? So about no 6, all the feature available on tecno p3 custom rom will be available on samsung galaxy 5 custom rom? Can you ever see a post about tecno on xda? Asphalt 8?? Oh my Goodness, Op!! Maybe you saw it on a 512mb ram phone. And check how it looks on a 512mb android, It can NEVER be as good. Unlike millions of android phone that isnt recognised worldwide, there is NO WINDOWS PHONE that isnt recognised(therefore you get faster solutions to your problem unlike if you are using a tecno or infinix or innjoo that are onlu used in Nigeria). So you havent hearr about Samsung, Htc etc windows phone? Even low end windows phone is usable, not to talk of the 930,1320,1520. Op, next time, get your facts right. The only correct fact is the app number(and the number is growing day by day). Though if you have all the apps you need, i dont know why you'll be concerned about the number of apps in the store.




That said, i'm not saying windows phone is better, infact i think android is a shade better. But those reasons are wack!

It's ignored for a reason and one of those reasons is that it's got a bland, uninspiring GUI which can be monotonous to some such as myself.
If Windows phone rock your boat dats kwul, we all got choices.

P.S. Try passing your points across without name calling, ain't kwul.

I still think that user interface is way ahead of it's time, hence the culture shock on folks from other OS.

Why do you think everyone is gravitating towards Flat icons? The windows modern interface is the inspiration!

how many times wil I say lumia games are made for all device unlike android

martineverest:
Budget fones are low end or cheap fones while high end are the xpensive ones

so the guy is saying s2 is slow.

As of d time s2 was made,it was a higj end,but now,its a low end

Collinz2:
so the guy is saying s2 is slow.

From the spec of s2...its a low-end phone.same ranking with lumia 430.but not slow.its 1gb ram makes it ok.

Collinz2:
so the guy is saying s2 is slow.
