I was using WP since times of WP 7 and Lumia 710. At that time other options were either super costly iPhone or crappy lagging Android. WP had a fresh look, smooth OS and range of hardware from Nokia.
Unfortunately, MS fumbled couple of times with internals while moving to WP 8 and WM 10.
In the meanwhile Android fixed the kinks and improved UI. Motorola and Xiaomi improved value for money of Android.

- maaaats 9y agoYeah, a $80-$100 Nokia ran as smoothly as an expensive Android at that time.

Lumia 520 and Moto G were almost identical hardware (almost same CPU, same GPU, Moto G had double RAM and 720p display, Lumia only 800x480), for similar price, but the Moto G was way better device, that did stuff people wanted.
