96% of what Android can do, Windows can't do it. LOL !

At least you understand it! @juandante

Updates does not make a phone. An Android Phone, running even the old Kitkat, still can come more than what Windows Mobile can do!

I buy a phone for it's out-of-the-box capabilities. I consider updates as a bonus.

And not all updates are actually worth it!

In fact, the best to enjoy a new versoin of an Operative System is to purchase a smartphone which comes preloaded with it out of the box.

''Microsoft is going to want to send Windows 10 Mobile to those phones where the update receives the most positive reviews from users''

So rather than fixing bugs in W10M, they punishing the users because of negative feedbacks?LOL

@Rafishant

It's about Microsft focusing on the majority where the users are actually excited of the Windows 10 Mobile update.

It's quite costly to maintain servers and pointless (as per Microsoft) to roll out updates where the majority do not give a sh*t about it.

No, its s cuz they already tried to fix problems but still had issues with that particulars phones

So nothing new here. It's the same crap when Microsoft dropped Windows Mobile for Windows Phone, then they dropped Windows Phone 7 for Windows Phone 8. Same crap, different day.

Next will be WP10.

Yep! I was left behind, and very fast, when I bought Nokia 800. I never looked back for Windows phone.

When u buy a Samsung phone u have updates forever?

Really like what? I'm curious because I can even select which bands (ie 1900 pcs, 700 mhz band 12 LTE without the need for the phone itself to force me on a band I don't want to be in.

27. Adreno (banned) (Posts: 755; Member since: 12 Mar 2016)

Though you can't select bands on default on Android, there's an
app in the PlayStore called LTE Discover.

Multitasking on Windows Phone, from my experience, is very bad.
To leave apps and processes in the background and returning back and meet them intact?

It's multitasking sucks, even on Windows Phones with 2GB+ RAM!

What about File Managing?

Let alone customization.

30. Bernoulli (Posts: 4326; Member since: 01 Sep 2012)

LTE Discovery only let's you see what bands your phone is connected to, not connect to a desired band, whereas I can connect at will without the need for rooting or voiding my warranty. Multitasking, is a breeze, windows phone, at least my lumia 1520 and 1020, don't lag and make multitasking a breeze, I especially love skipping through the YouTube ads at will.
File managing is there, you just have to download the app but even then what's the purpose of it when all your files are already accessible from the destination of the file? I.e. Pictures will go under pictures, word documents will go under office, music will go obviously under music.
Customization is amazing, you have live tiles and can change backgrounds at will, however what's the benefit of pimping out your phone? I used to do it when I was in high school, but what's the point now? To feel like a kid again?
Seriously, I fail to see your logic when I have rebuttals for you.

Great rebuttal Bernoulli. I would also add Continuum to the list when it comes to multitasking. Does Android do that Adreno?

44. Bernoulli (Posts: 4326; Member since: 01 Sep 2012)

Great point, I was only mentioning from my Lumia 1520, thanks for the input.

40. Adreno (banned) (Posts: 755; Member since: 12 Mar 2016)

Huh?

Windows Phone's customization and multitasking abilities are INFERIOR to Android's.

And when rooted, oh... It's a whole new level altogether!

Deal with it.

43. Bernoulli (Posts: 4326; Member since: 01 Sep 2012)

Huh, yep that pretty much describes your mentality, which is that of a teenager. The multitasking is by no means inferior, especially when you account android's lag, particularly if you have a touchwiz powered mobile.
Rooting, if possible (i.e. Samsung KNOX and BlackBerry Priv) voids your warranty and much more prone to viruses and malware, but seriously, why are you so ignorant? Can your phone turn into a full-fledged PC like Continuum does and continue working on a word document? That's multitasking to a whole new level, newbie.

On l1520 with win 10m it looks much better than on wp 8.1

bro only kitkat 4.4 was good and stable after than 95 % of user hate lolipop version main is file reallocation . marshmallow and bla blah are utter flop

54. Adreno (banned) (Posts: 755; Member since: 12 Mar 2016)

95% of Android users hate Lollipop?

Where did you get such an erroneous data?

Provide proof, please!

68. Bernoulli (Posts: 4326; Member since: 01 Sep 2012)

You have yet to reply to me, newbie, otherwise you're standing by what I said about lagdroid.

65. oozz009 (Posts: 520; Member since: 22 Jun 2015)

I totally agree with Adreno here, how in the world could you think that!! Android L was the most exciting android update in it's recent history, it's also the most popular android version now. I would go even so far as saying that android L was more exciting that M considering that in brought many visual changes and many features. Android M simply improves on what android L already had and it also adds a little more feauture (mainly security feautures that android lacked on).

buy an iphone. this is what is wrong with the fragmemted poor apps non supported good os running on octacore platforms with 4 gigs of ram. for what! at least an iphone 4s is still updated to latest ios 9.?? here is a clear unbiased example. iphone 4s and galaxy s2 were releases same time. CASE IN POINT. GALAXYS2 is gone to the grave and not getting any updates from google or carrier has a resale value of 0 dollars. on the other hand. iphone4s gets updated to ios 9 and can still be sold. try selling a gs2 anywhere other than overseas where in emerging markets its still suffice. people like techie who swear by samsung and specs will never get it. wake up. i did. its about the experience and money in my pocket.

Microsoft won't update old phones because it would make them suck.
Apple gladly updates old phones because it makes them suck.
That's the difference... one of them care for the experience. One of them only care about money and forcing people to buy new phones.

42. Adreno (banned) (Posts: 755; Member since: 12 Mar 2016)

That's exactly what is happenning.
Microsoft cares to conserve it's already small userbase.

Apple might actually care for the user experience, but does not need to fear about losing it's userbase because of an iOS update potentially bringing old deviced into a crawl, since they're the only ones who make iOS devieces.

So Apple releases iOS 9 for iPhone 4S, and whatever happens to people's iPhone 4S is no big deal to them.

The Nexus devices running stock Android make Android updates nicely.
Don't blame Android, blame the manufacturers running skins on top of Android like Samsung Touch Whiz, LG Optimus, Sony Xperia, HTC Sense and others. Plus, blame the carriers bloatware causing updates not to happen.

Samsung and other manufacturers, for example, would rather make a new device each year, sell a mammoth amount of new phones to consumers with current Android OS, than update the OS on last year's model.

for me till now android 4.4 was stable and good rest are useless and bug

71. joey_sfb (Posts: 6600; Member since: 29 Mar 2012)

You can stay with 4.4 forever! Does not make a different for the rest of us.

I like KK not enough to swear off future release which in my personal experience is better.

55. Shubham412302 (Posts: 453; Member since: 09 Nov 2011)

But microsoft promised updates for 36 months
