And apparently you also can't make the huge difference between hardware and OS. Real smartphones? Man am i tired of this people like you. Just do something else, is better.

Why would anyone not brain... moreTo increase the usability of phone ... allowing it to install more applications not available on windows phone .. windows phone is dead , so installing android is prolonging it's software life , adding more features etc.. and a big relief for those frustrating users that want to get rid of the pathetic tiles lol..

      I would really like to see windows Os bootong in android smartphone. Android smartphones are really smartphones. I would like to see this happening. Would love to play around a bit with windows mobile platform :)

        2. It is done as a curiosity
        3. It's the same as people tinkering with linux and running Doom on watches.

        If you want a closed platform, go use iPhones. This should be welcomed as a positive thing.

          What about Lumia 532 and 640 xl when these phone will get android update

            World is FULL of Android phones. Why would anyone not brainwashed want Windows Phones running on Android? Ok, i get it was challenge for him but still. Haters can say what they want, but a lot of people actually like WP. So buy your lousy Samsungs or whatever and leave WP alone.

                Funny how I'm looking at all these new Android phones and wish they'd run Windows instead... That would make the super-smartphones.

                      Only if lumia 1020 and 920 had run android!!!!
                      What Microsoft made from its WP Nokia phones even if they had best hardware? Loss.
                      Was Microsoft able to popularize it's WP OS?
                      If Microsoft had made android powered Nokia phones, they could have made much more money and could have simultaneously worked to bring a full windows on phones or 7" phones (yes phones) with all of its reputation.

                        Although this is impressive, why would you turn a perfectly good phone into an average one?

                          If Android can run on a Nokia Lumia, then surely (And I please pray) Microsoft Lumia 550 is also capable of running Android?

                            Dual Core, 512 MB RAM and 8 GB running 7.1 Nougat? And now we have 6 GB RAM Android Phones and soon 8 GB? Wonder what is happening!

                              Yes, I was thinking what you were thinking while the page of this article was loading. Why? That's a main reason why many didn't buy Nokia, so if it becomes available and stable, well.... why not wait for the real deal with the new phones from Nokia in 2017? :P

                                  The lumia 520 was the best WP phone. It represented the OS so much better than the flagships.

                                    I'm not thinking what you're thinking. I'm thinking why some of high end Android phones can't run Nougat?!?
