However, running Launcher 10 helps with the transition a lot. I won't be coming back to Windows Mobile because it is dead. I didn't get to retire at 46 years old by spending too much to get things done. Too much proprietary and not enough bang for the buck. I'll not be headed to iOS because it doesn't want to play well with my current Windows laptops and software, or my current cables and accessories. However, the way Microsoft has treated me as a consumer has made me loath them even more. Or, moreso Apple and Alphabet, the companies behind it all. In the auto world this would be akin to only being able to purchase an (apple colored) metallic Lexus or a refrigerator white Government sponsored fleet vehicle. Truly bizarre that people embrace the Google monopoly and Apple tax with their $ so much. Mobile is nothing but an odd popularity homecoming contest at the moment. Or if I'm really doing anything of significance I'll just use my Surface Pro 4 (anyways) for a much better experience than any watered down mobile OS can provide. You can often just use your browser easier without downloading anything extra. Most mobile apps are rather marginal in my experience. While I suppose one should admire the bloated app collection on the other OS's.I really don't. Hilarious! Apple really is still playing catch up. Sheeple ask me all the time "what device IS/TOOK/DID that"?! My 2 year old 950 Lumia. Truly helpful to me to have a proper file system to go around an app that is buggy (try that on an iPhone).
:) Micro SD cards are still growing in capacity. I truly use and enjoy the personalization Win 10 mobile provides. This is particularly helpful when traveling, camping or flying overseas.
Really nice to have the choice of whether to take one or two devices. The Dual SIM is fantastic! Don't want to live without it now. The nicely endowed, rapidly & wireless charging and instantly swappable batteries on the 950 & 950 XL are very solid under rated features. I have shot through tinted glass windows and produced amazing quality images.
The Windows Lumia 1520, Lumia 950 and 950 XL are the only "phones" or mobile devices that I can confidently use and not be concerned about needing better results. When I enlarge the others it quite frankly looks like terrible and is thus unusable for me.
The excellent Nokia Zeiss lens 20MP photography is also simply unmatched in my experience. I always try the shiny iBling and latest Android candy bar makers, but keep on returning to Windows 10 Mobile. We have more information about Windows Core OS at this link, so make sure you give it a read.Įxactly. Meanwhile, Microsoft is rumored to be working on a new "mobile" device codenamed Andromeda, that will launch next year with a version of Windows 10 built with Microsoft's new "Windows Core OS" platform. With all that in mind, if Windows 10 Mobile is still perfect for you, then Microsoft is more than happy to keep you updated with security patches and bug fixes. Windows 10 Mobile has no real future, and consumers still clinging to the platform should really start looking elsewhere. Hopefully Belfiore's comments will ease the minds of the last few users who are still holding out for new features and focus for Windows 10 Mobile from Microsoft. What's next for Windows 10 Mobile and existing Windows phones In reality, the majority of Windows users aren't Windows phone user, but rather iOS and Android users, hence why it makes more sense to bring the best of Windows to those devices instead. Microsoft's new mobile play is to bring the Microsoft experience to users on other platforms, rather than expect users to make the switch.
