darknite, 16 May 2013Check this boy... Lumia 720 http://blog.gsmarena.com/noki... moreLumia 720 is the only WP that i can give respect. All the other suck too much juice from the battery.

    Killer droid, 16 May 2013For real i respect Lumia 720 whit 60h endurance rating. But... moreThanks ... But it is weird when u compare s4 vs lumia 920. S3 vs lumia 920 shud be compared in my opinion with similar battery capacities. I assume the close comparison can happen between two phones if similar battery capacity, screens (resolution, ppi) were taken into account! And u itself quoted with gsmarena articles of s3 and 920 almost match each other!!!

                Well, I'd say 59% to 75% is a much higher growth than 2% to 3,2%.. WP grows faster percentage-wise because of its ridiculously small market share. It can't touch Android's growth. 10 times more new people came to Android than to WP, to put it in a perspective.

                  The only reason android has such a large share of the market is due to the fact that parents are buying their teen/pre-teen children $99 phones.

                                    poly, 16 May 2013Slowly , slowly and one day will disappear from market. Dont worry some day android and ios will be MIA too Is the nature of technology hehehehe and maybe when Samsung get full attention to Tizien they will bash Android

                                    Hmmm that can be interest, this is why Google will made an Clean Android OS to S4, maybe Android (Google) is affraid of somethin, and that can change everything...

                                    Let see how they manage Android dominion if they loose their bigger partner, that can be epic lol

                                      Android (1.5-4.2.2) gives you a lot of functions but it's the buggiest OS out there. WP8 and iOS are optimized for speed/smoothness and very reliable. WP8 has the best user experience for me.
