Windows Phone's 9 ways to beat Apple's iPhone

Although Windows Phone 8 has many defects, it still has many benefits. It is a very unique Mobile Phone operating system. Android only imitates the iPhone in many ways, but Windows Phone is unique as a mobile Phone operating system. Although the iPhone is now the champion of smartphone sales, Windows Phone is indeed better than iPhone in some respects. The author tried to experience Nokia Lumia 928, A Windows Phone 8 mobile Phone, and found that some of its features are indeed better than iPhone. The author lists nine ways Windows Phone beat Apple's iPhone.

1. Some applications have a better performance on the Windows Phone platform than the iPhone.

As we all know, Microsoft once had a hard time for developers to create applications for Windows Phone 8. In fact, Microsoft once paid developers some fees to develop applications for themselves. However, many applications in Windows Phone Marketplace are outstanding. In many cases, these applications are better than those on the iPhone. The authors believe that these applications include Foursquare, Spotify, Evernote, and Facebook.

2. Windows Phone's Twitter, LinkedIn, and Facebook app are very helpful.

Windows Phone 8 has a convenient application called "networking" where users can get updates to social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. In this way, you don't need to open these websites one by one, but it is very convenient to view the dynamic updates of all friends in the "contacts" application.

3. Windows Phone supports better multi-task execution.

The author does not think that Windows Phone's multi-task processing method is the best, because Android is. However, the multitasking management app on Windows Phone is much better than that on iPhone.

On Windows Phone, you only need to press the back key at the bottom of the device to view the recently opened background programs, which are displayed as slides. Click an app to open it again.

However, the iPhone requires the user to press the home Key twice and re-select from the dazzling lines of icons. Finding the app a user wants to open is very difficult, which may be one of the biggest weaknesses of the iPhone software.

4. The iPhone lacks window gadgets, while Windows Phone has a convenient dynamic tile.

Apple does not make window gadgets appear on the main screen, which makes users very worried. Window gadgets are mini apps that provide real-time information, such as news and weather, on the desktop without being opened.

Microsoft has a very clever solution. On Windows Phone, each app is displayed in a dynamic tile on the home screen. They allow users to know what each app is updating. For example, the Foursquare app can display recent logon information of friends.

5. Windows Phone 8 gives users more hardware options.

Microsoft has different methods when releasing Windows Phone 8. It imposes strict requirements on hardware partners to ensure that each Windows Phone device receives the latest software updates, apps, and system improvements.

Therefore, if you want to use Windows Phone 8, you can have many options. For example, HTC 8XT has a Beats Audio sound system, Samsung ativ s and ativ s Neo. Of course, there is also the flagship mobile Phone Nokia Lumia 1020 for Windows Phone 8. If you require more hardware options, the Windows Phone platform is undoubtedly the best choice.

6. Combine text messages with Facebook messages.

Like other smartphones, Windows Phone also has basic SMS functions. However, if you synchronize your mobile phone with your Facebook account, you can switch between the traditional SMS function and Facebook chat. In this way, you can limit the number of text messages sent by users in one month, thus saving the cost of text messages.

Indeed, the iPhone also has a free message sending tool, iMessage, available for use on the platform, but not everyone uses the iPhone.

7. more useful information is provided in the contact information.

Contact cards for Windows Phone 8 are more advanced than those for other devices. Generally, the device only displays the contact's name, email, and Phone number. On Windows Phone 8, users can also see their recent emails and text messages. This is a very helpful feature when users want to learn about all the recent interactions with a contact.

8. You do not have to pay additional fees for editing documents.

Microsoft Office is embedded in Windows Phone. This means that you can browse and edit all Word documents, workbooks, and PPT files on any Windows Phone.

Similar apps on the iPhone can implement this function. However, Apple allows users to pay 10 US dollars for each app, including Keynote, Pages, and Numbers.

9. The world's most advanced smartphone cameras are only used on Windows Phone 8 platforms.

Many people don't care how many pixels their smartphone cameras are, as long as they can take good photos.

But for those looking for the best mobile phone camera, Nokia Lumia 1020 has a 41 million pixel camera, which is a better choice and can take beautiful photos. But the iPhone 5 is not that good in this regard.
