A friend of mine has a Samsung Galaxy SIII smartphone and wish to dispose it and buy Lumia 920. He has been advised that the latter uses Windows 8 Operating system while the former run on Android Operating system. Now he wants to know what are the pros and cons of undertaking the action.
Hello Hermoo,
I have done some research and found the following pros and cons of Windows Phone:
Pros:
– It is very user friendly, your friend will not waste a lot of time in learning how to use it.
– It is a very smooth, lag free operating system.
– It has a very good integration system, you can get all you contacts and conversations from different places under one application.
– It receives updates more frequently compared to Android.
Cons:
– Compared to the hardware the phone has to offer, it is a bit expensive.
– Android offers high level of personalization (Home screens, widgets, wallpapers), Windows Phone lack that.
– Android has a vast variety of applications many of which you can get for free, this is not the case with Windows Phone.
Greetings!
These are the Pros of Windows Phone 8:
> It has excellent call quality, thru speaker and bluetooth
> The size is balance not so big, not so small, enough to give you a clear view.
> It has fast and Intuitive UI
>It is a wireless charging phone, so you don't have to be away from your phone whenever it is charging.
> Since it is Windows Phone, Microsoft Office capability, enables you to open file wherever you are.
> Wi-fi ready
>Voice thru Bluetooth
> Beats Audio, it has the loudest and best sounding smartphone through a corded headset.
> Front camera, excellent for using skype or making a video call.
Cons:
> 16 GB, just enough for all the applications you want to install for the phone, but a 32 GB option would be nice.
> Battery, kind of weak it will only get you through the day but it always depends on how you use it.
> No email attachment capability for docs, though it has a MS Office.
> No select all in email accounts
> No instant HTML formatting
> Cannot do multi-tasking
> Doesn't have flash, HBOGO, and YOUTUBE
Best Regards!
