I kept windows phone 10 up until this week.
I actually like that it pushes me to use mobile sites instead of apps.
Apps are closed ecosystems with app stores that charge a high markup. Sites are free and open.
I can use Uber Lyft, and Facebook without apps.
But with discipline you can do this on Android too.
Pros:
Beautiful Live Tiles
Simple interface
Unified look
Dark Mode
Less bloatware
Cons:
On Windows 10 mobile, the phone would freeze up or even restart as much as once per day
Drivers and software seem less optimized and performant even with powerful hardware
Never found a mobile site that allows depositing checks
No Firefox
So as of this weekend I'm now using a fast, stable, cluttered, and ugly Samsung phone loaded with bloatware.
I'm hoping LineageOS can make this more tolerable soon.
- roryisok 9y agoInteresting admit the freezes / reloads. I bought a 950XL that would restart constantly, at least once a day. A few weeks later i bought a 950 instead, for the smaller form factor. The 950 has zero issues. It has never once frozen or restarted. My point is, it's not Windows 10 mobile that caused that issue. You might have had a bad battery or device
