"If they had done this a year ago"
I guess we would never know but I disagree with you. Part of Nokia's charm had been always the ability to differentiate from the rest. And that would be really hard to do in an Android environment where the war is about high-end hardware at a cheap price.
Right now, Lumia 920 was supposedly in the same league than the Galaxy S4 and the iPhone 5 (performance wise speaking). But the S4 have a quadcore CPU and 2Gb of RAM while the Lumia "survives" with a dual core and 1Gb of RAM, roughly the half of hardware.
WP8 is fast enough to mask that hardware difference but without that advantage, I can't see how they would be competitive enough either with the price or with the spects
- jsight 13y agoThe Moto X (and it's Verizon brethren) are selling pretty well so far, and they are US only at the moment. They also have dual-core CPUs and relatively modest specs by modern standards. No OS magic is required to make this run acceptably, Android does just fine on its own (as it does on my 2 year old Tegra 2 tablet running 4.3). There is a meme floating around that only Samsung makes money on Android, and that only high-end devices are profitable. Neither aspect of this has much evidence behind it.
