According to a latest report from mobile phone retailers in the UK, Android sales andWindows Phone 7The ratio is 15:1. This result indicates that Windows Phone 7 may be in trouble. Microsoft launched Windows Phone 7 in the North American market in November 8 and is considered the best choice in both the consumer market and the enterprise market. Microsoft has high hopes for it to reverse its decline in the mobile phone market and compete with Android and IOS. But it is clear that Windows Phone 7 is not doing well in the market, far from achieving Microsoft's expected goal. In fact, according to the British retailer mobilesplease report, we can see that Windows Phone 7 only accounts for 3% of smartphone sales. Android has sold more than 15 times Windows Phone 7.
It is true that this number does not represent the world. However, we may be able to see Microsoft's problems and Android's ten advantages over Windows Phone 7.
1. More powerful hardware
Although Microsoft may not want to admit this, the mobile phone running Android is much more powerful than the hardware configuration of Windows Phone 7. For example, Moto Droid X includes a 4.3 inch display and powerful entertainment functions, and runs on Verizon's network. Compared to Samsung Focus, which is equipped with Windows Phone 7, it has a 4 inch-inch display, but its network runs on at&t. In terms of appearance, the Android devices are obviously more powerful.
2. More options
Android has more options than only a handful of Windows Phone 7 devices on the market. Google partners, including Motorola, HTC, and Samsung, provide a large number of Android devices for users to choose from. In addition, because Android is open-source and attracts a large number of local enterprises to join the android camp, this obviously helps Android sales become stronger.
3. More refined Android 2.2
Windows Phone 7's unique lattice UI makes it a good information exchange tool. However, this does not mean it is better than Android. In fact, it is still a first-generation product. The lack of multi-task is far from reaching the Android 2.2 level compared to the few applications in the Android Market.
4. Google's Android Market
Android Market is helping Google and its partners sell more Android-based devices. The Android Market has a far greater impact than its 0.1 million application count. Microsoft once said it will develop Windows Phone 7 applications as soon as possibleProgramThe market plan, but we know clearly that there is still a long way to go.
5. Multi-task
Android has comprehensive multi-task functions, but Windows Phone 7 does not provide multi-task functions, which is almost unimaginable for smart phones that focus on network applications. Although Microsoft says it will add multitasking in the future, we don't know how far it will be in the future.
6. Available Networks
This is a big problem for Windows Phone 7. Currently, all Windows Phone 7 devices on the market are running on T-Mobile and at&t networks. T-Mobile has fewer user groups than Verizon and at&t. At&t has an iPhone and does not know how much it will invest in Windows Phone 7. On the other hand, Android devices can already run on all networks, which makes it easier to attract consumers and enterprise customers.
7. Users like this
Although ordinary users may not care about the development of the Windows Phone 7 and mobile smart industry. But when they hear that the gap between Android and Windows Phone 7 reaches, they will undoubtedly have doubts about whether to buy a Windows Phone 7 device.
8. If android can beat Apple, it can also beat Microsoft
So far, Google's Android device sales have exceeded Apple's iOS device sales, and this trend may continue. If android can beat Apple, there is no doubt that it can beat Microsoft. After all, Microsoft has suffered from the mobile intelligence market for several times.
9. Microsoft's ads seem useless.
Microsoft once said it would invest a lot of advertising money to promote Windows Phone 7 devices. However, it is clear that these advertisements have not achieved Microsoft's expected results. In this case, Microsoft still needs to find other paths to expand the influence of Windows Phone 7. But it is clear that android has won the battle.
10. Microsoft has lost its foothold in the mobile market
It is hard to imagine what Microsoft's mobile team is based on. After Windows Mobile is defeated by Android and iPhone. Microsoft launched the kin mobile phone, but it gave up after just a few weeks in the market, until now Microsoft launched Windows Phone 7. Microsoft does not seem to be clear about what it wants. Obviously, it has lost its foothold in the mobile market.
