So....Android runs better than Windows !? Pull the other one and get your head out your arse !

They're all on par and each is better for different things....hence why I use more than one phone that operate different OSs.... (currently typing this on my old trusted N900 running improved Maemo CSSU)

    @envy165

    I am a long time android user. Unlocked / Rooted / Boot Loader Unlocked / Custom ROM kind of guy.

    As such, if we are totally honest about it, Android runs no where near as good as windows phone does. Your being the iphone like fan boy that won't admit the truth. Get of this religious like fanaticism about your phone OS of preference and be honest about it. I'm not even going to go into it as you wouldn't accept it anyways.
    And today I'm running a Galaxy S3 with OctOS Lollipop 5.1.1 and do not even own a windows phone.
    So yeah, quit parroting stuff you hear and read, do your own testing.

                  Some how I find tech researchers are too clever, must think more on practical, what are the users want, don't produce unnecessary features and omit other must have features in a flagship phone.
                  So happy to see a flagship Microsoft Phone coming out soon, it had been a long time since Windows Mobile era, now it will be a re-enter for me, to Microsoft Windows 10 for Mobile!

Ty... more..FM Radio without the needs to use headphone by default, if need to improve reception, let the user decide to plug in the headphone as antenna; Don't know why all hand phone makers never think of this, I have phone Radio but troublesome to use with headphone ie. plug in and select phone speaker..., and never want to carry headphone along thats it!
                      Snapdragon chip, more RAMs are better for smoother operation.
                      Micro SD Card memory expansion, removable battery, flash light must have! Very good to have 5" 5.7" options for buyers, seems Apple got it right...

                              Also if you wear the hell out of your phone, like play with it all day and do nothing else productive, of course it'll get chunky over time. Clear your cache.
