          Anonymous, 24 Nov 2013Oh, "lumia 520 is crap because it don't have front cam... moreCheaper android has better function than this crap. My 2004 Nokia 6600 can do multitasking, and that's upto 23 apps. Had a kill button, and a kill all button too (via an app) and what's about Lumia 520....it can run 5 tasks with no kill button. Need wifi connection for every 40 MB+ file, no file manager, no video player, even no capable browser (uc browser is good but not opera) ...before I bought Lumia I used to thought that a smartphone is a phone that can increase it's functionality by an appropriate app. But I was wrong.

          and I'm not using any other username mr. ********

Expecting a compass, a 1 GB RAM at that price isn't too big. Maybe you haven't heard about MOTO g. That phone is priced at the nearly same price point .

                Pathum, 24 Nov 2013I guess u need to get it replaced... No lag here on my 920What do you call those long forced animations then? How long do you have to wait before the phone again accepts touch input? It's horrible slow, better with occasional lag than always have to wait for the forced animations. At least android accepts input while doing transition animations, and the animations are pretty fast, you can easily flip to the next page without waiting for it to finish. WP always keep you waiting, nothing can be done during animations/transitions, it's unresponsive for the whole period, which is very long.

                Androids problem is Google's every growing intrusive behavior, for ui speed it's the best, you are not always forced to wait, this is no doubt the biggest drawback of WP, painfull waiting for animations that freaks you out.

                  Windows phone interface is a designer's phone, easily the best looking out of all the OS.

                    With the ASP of WP8 phones being almost lower than the price of iPhone peripherals, sitting at a sub 200 dollar range, it's not strange that WP8 gains traction over iOS in emerging markets. It's pretty much a 'water is wet' discovery of the century.

                      Here's a genius reply for your genius comment :
                      iPhone 5s Retina display and its resolution are awesome and you won't feel small when it is on your hand (unless you compare it to other smartphone). I think you must be never use an iOS or Windows Phone device before, because they are fast, smooth and responsive and better than the Android.

See Samsung Galaxy S and Note lines, LG G2, Xperia Z s... moreAndroid devices have an ASP of $268 for devices worldwide, including the Chinese ones. Last time I checked, the phones you listed sell nowhere near that price. Something has to be lowering that average. Most Android manufacturers are either losing money or barely making a profit. The fastest growing Android OEMs are cheaper Chinese manufacturers. You can be as sure as you want but reality is different from what goes on in your mind.

See Samsung Galaxy S and Note lines, LG G2, Xperia Z series, HTC One series, etc. Will you still underestimate Android phone as a cheap device? If cheap chinese Android was included then I'm pretty sure Android has owned at least 95 per cent of market share. All in all, it's nice to see iOScrap phone eradicated one by one. Lol. Hahaha...
