Android Smartphone vs. Windows Phone

In the midst of competition between the various brands of smartphones, there are many reviews or articles about the differences in the features or capabilities of each operating system used a smartphone brand. 

You must have heard or read the  difference between between Android smartphone and iOS or iPhone. Now let's see the differences between Windows Phone vs Android vs Android smartphone. 

As we understand, Android smartphones have the full support of Google engineers, while Windows Phone is an exclusive product from Microsoft. And it is very easy to find a smartphone based on Android, while not many well-known brands that use a system developed by Microsoft.

The classic question arises, why there are more people who use Android smartphones, when compared with those who use the a Windows Phone? On this occasion, the article is more extensively covered the types of smartphones marketed by various brands, both for Android smartphone and Windows Phone. This article is a combination of various forums, as well as reviews from various sources.

Windows Phone vs Android smartphone. Image: kalongmedia.com

You could say this review will look at aspects of price, features, and design, and then combined into a few conclusions - which will probably affect you, especially in terms of value for your money. Let's see one by one as described below:

1. Windows Phone has not yet launched the Quad HD screen.

Windows Phone has not yet launched the Quad HD screen to make the screen is sharper and brighter. This occurs because the Windows Phone 8 and 8.1 do not support higher screen resolution of 1080 x 1920 pixels. Windows Phone fans certainly very hopeful the Quad HD can be enjoyed on Windows 10 which will be launched in 2015.

Indeed, not everyone needs a smartphone with the Quad HD display (1440 x 2560 pixels), but for the gaming enthusiast or a lover of photography, must be very happy if Windows can also meet the expectations of photography enthusiasts and lovers of games. You can find the Quad screen HD on Android smartphones such as Vivo Xplay 3S, which was launched in December 2013. Since then, smartphone makers like Motorola, LG, and Samsung, finally launch a smartphone with the Quad-screen HD. You can search for information by maximizing the search engines like Google.

2. Windows Phone has yet to produce ultra-thin handset.

Currently, the handset windows phone thinnest available is Xolo Win Q900s danYezz Billy 4.7, each having a thickness of 7.2mm. If you want to land your hands on some of the world's thinnest smartphone, the Android is the king. Oppo R5 for example, comes with a thickness of less than 5mm. Thus even with Vivo X5 Max, even thinner than the Oppo R5.

3. Windows Phone has not launched a luxury phones

The gadget freak of the upper classes would have been disappointed, because they can not look luxurious with Windows Phone. Vertu luxury mobile phone maker wants to launch a Windows Phone 8 handsets fancy, but Vertu finally forget about the idea, because of the "complexity" related to the adoption of the Microsoft platform.

If you have a lot of money, then you can Android smartphone, one of which Gresso Regal Black, who produced very limited, around 999, a limited edition, so you have to move quickly to get it with prices starting at US$ 3000. Do Gresso Regal Black can be compared with the BlackBerry Porsche Design P9981?

4. Windows Phone has not offers the features that make you amazed at affordable version.

You can definitely get a Windows Phone's out there, but you can not choose Windows Phone cheap with a variety of great features, which is supported by the processor or higher resolution camera. If you are look closely, then you surely will receive attractive offers from the Android smartphone. For example, Redmi Xiaomi 1S, which comes with a 4.7 inch screen, 720p, quad-core Snapdragon processor 400, RAM 1 GB, and 8 GB of internal memory which can be expanded. And all that can be obtained with the price under US$ 200.

Meanwhile, Windows Phone handsets in the price range, you will only get a low resolution screen (usually WVGA), and lower processors such as Snapdragon 200, and you only get 512 MB of RAM. By mid-2014, there are many Android smartphones offered at affordable prices, but you can enjoy great features with high speed, plus a camera with high resolution, both at the rear camera and front camera, of course for the selfie enthusiast.

 

5. Windows Phone with water resistant feature is not yet available in the market.

However, there is a Windows Phone 7 that features a water resistant: Fujitsu Toshiba IS12T that produced in 2011. Unfortunately, until now there is no water proof feature on Windows Phone 8 or Windows 8.1. Meanwhile, there are many waterproof Android smartphone, in low-end models to high-end models such as the Sony Xperia Z3, and the Samsung Galaxy S5.

If you pay attention to some important differences on Windows Phone and Android smartphone, then Microsoft as giant companies have to be creative to attract the attention of the gadget enthusiast in various parts of the continent. Although Microsoft is well-known, certainly very beautiful if Microsoft could follow the trends and the needs of an increasingly diverse market.

The consumer really need an a sophisticated smartphone, but is also fun from the aspect of price, and a variety of interesting features. If the CEO of Microsoft and the creative team did not pay attention to the needs of the market, or dare to create a unique device, the Lumia or Windows Phone will become dinosaurs in the near future.

Does Bill Gates have to make a special meeting with the management of Microsoft, and Windows Phone designer team to create a smartphone that according to the current trend of increasingly unique, especially the gadget freak is also getting finicky? They want to look classy, but should be offered a smartphone at an attractive price.

If you are curious and interested to know about the differences between Android and iPhone smartphone, then you can read the article with the title: Android vs. iPhone, which one is suitable as a new companion. Hopefully you get enlightenment before you choose a new smartphone.

The features on the Nikon L830 is indeed very tempting, but you need to compare it with some class camera such as the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ72, which offers a much larger zoom and manual exposure options, but has no folding screen and also a tad more expensive. A folding screen can e.g. Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX300 offer, but here you have more on the table than for the Nikon bridge camera.

The Coolpix L830 is a very solid bridge camera with good performance at low cost. Advantages over its predecessor are the larger zoom and the folding screen, what remains is the class 22.5 mm wide-angle. Those who wish to quickly and easily get at your photos while looking for a camera with large zoom, the Nikon bridge camera itself should take a closer look. For advanced learning or willing the Nikon L830 is, however, nothing, because the bridge has neither raw nor an accessory shoe, nor manual exposure options.

The L830 has a good chance to become just as popular as its predecessor the Coolpix L820 which prevailed in the tests as a real tip under the budget start-bridge cameras. Particularly encouraging: despite the better equipment the retail price is about  € 249 or US$ 309.95. The Coolpix L830 is a super zoom camera which is great for traveling and holidayaround the world.
