Aside from the OS, the Win 10 variant is said to be identical to its Android cousin.

microsoft was going to release new update to windows phone 10 late december . I m not sure if it released that buid or not and if it did, then whether it finally fixed web rendering (how web pages are displayed) issues or not. All i know, i tested lumia 950xl at at&t store on around december 15 and it was horrible just as windows phone 8.1

    Windows phone 10 interface is trully slightly more laggy than windows phone 8.1
    And what do you mean by "there is no problem with windows phone" ?! There is big problem: web rendering is horrible on windows phone ( i wish i could put a video review of windows phone to show what a nightmare it is to browse many websites on windows phone!).

      There is no problem with Windows phone. It's just a matter of taste.
      Some people enjoy lagging interface, so they buy Windows phone.
      Others who don't, buy android.

        Jad, 01 Feb 2016Haha!! ur talking as if Here maps belong to microsh**** or ... moreExactly. Windows phone has basic web rendering issues.
        I wouldnt use android phone with less than 6.0 display, due to a slight stutter and slight scrolling lag that is still present even on a pure nexus intrface and within google chrome. But other than that Androind is absolutely perfect and actually looks more like a regular windows PC (normal windows like 7 or vista) than the god damn windows phone . Windows phone is s closed system, ugly looking and performs horribly. Windows pc is normal and windows phone is a nightmare!

          That is good news because this phone looks pretty cool. I think Windows 10 mobile will look pretty awesome on this phone but as a matter of fact it looks good on any phone. I surely welcome Xiaomi in the world of Windows 10 mobile. It is by far the best OS for the smart and intelligent people who have knowledge about smartphones and who don't stare blind on android and iOS.

            Congratulations to those of Xiaomi. If they put the windows OS 10 on your phone will have great sales.

                The company Xiaomi has a management exception. If they put on a Xiaomi 5, OS windows 10, then they will win the market with its sales of handsets.

I can download here maps from the Google play along with here drive... am not sure whats ur point. windows phone sucks and wont even get close to Android or IOS.

                        nice i'll get one if they support flashing android and windows separately on the device, so I can juggle to and forth if I get bored with one OS. Hoping for a mi4 windows insider like program for mi5 too

                                  Android phones with less than 2gb of ram and a total processor speed of less than 2.0 are still difficult to use dues to a heavy scrolling lag and stuter but unlike windows phones, they don't have any Web rendering issues!

                                      1) It is a Windows phone (even windows phone 10 ) that is buggy, laggy and
                                      Almost impossible to browse the Web because Microsoft still hasn't fixed multiple Web rendering isssuses of its mobile platform. Im not even going to list them again (too many to list). There are few websites that open properly and the scrolling has no lag at all and super smooth (better than android ) but I'll repeat : only few websites.
                                      2) GPS and Maps don't even come close to Google Maps! (Either fix your business with Google and provide Google maps or create your own that is compatible )
                                      3) The interface of windows 10 mobile way more uglier and confusing than already ugly and confusing windows phone 8.1
