Microsoft made a Terrible mistake !
A closed ecosystem and the lack of a more complex / in depth customization and a proper file manager as well as a more Smart / PC approach.

someone, 07 Oct 2019And it had 200% lesser apps than any android phone half of ... moreThis is quite short-sighted. Many people use the argument that Android and iOS have x.y million apps. Come on folks - count the apps on your phone. And then count the options - usable options - to them in the respective store. What would be the result? Tens of actively used apps and maybe a few hundred to low thousands of apps you would be willing to use? Just a poor guess but might not be too far from truth. Plus: How often have you seen a headline "xyz thousand apps in Windows Store are scam, collect your data, steal your money?" Again, compare with the "superior mobile OSs" ;)
I don't want to rant, just remind that Windows phones weren't - and aren't - that bad. Just last week I've met two of my friends who still use their Lumias - a 520 and a 650. They aren't receiving any more updates but they have received them for much longer than many Android phones. My own 730 DS is still in a very good shape and just to say - I just admire that OLED even after those years with the phone. Iphone 6s? Maybe snappier, more metallish, a tad thinner - but way more slippery and with inferior blacks :D (but I actually like the form factor as it seems to be the new archetype of compact phone for 2020 :P)
Don't damn Windows phones. They are good. They have flaws. But to be honest - there's not a perfect one. They are just some small sophisticated bricks made to appeal to people and to make them want more. Try to admit it ;)

The best Lumia phone despite it being a budget phone? I think so. It was cheap, smooth , well built and colorful. This phone rocked the budget smartphone segment and changed it into perhaps the most popular segment of smartphones.

So all phone manufacturers had a Windows Phone WP 7 single core with no memory expansion ( What brand still had no memory expansion?)
Microsoft took an age and a day to release the major update Windows Phone 8 multi core with memory expansion
Windows Phone 10 was the death of Microsoft cell phone venture.
WP 10 beta testing on Windows Phone 8 devices crashed every model, indicating a major fla
Instead of pulling the plug Microsoft released it to run on the flagship Lumia 950 & 950 Xl
(Windows phone 8 viable and working, Microsoft updated WP8 multiple times, that should have been the OS on the 950 & 950 XL and updating it that way.
Windows Phone 10 essentially is imo malware, Microsoft stopped selling all WP10 devices as new sales added to the complaint base.
Windows Phone 10 if it could have been fixed it would have, two years of trying and even having the added incentive of Hewlett Packard releasing a flagship phone was not enough
If Windows Phone ever came back Windows Phone 8 OS would be at its core, we have the ridiculous situation that you can't stream music to a Windows phone from OneDrive
And. and the Surface Phone Dual Screen on Android
