Most of us know that Google manufactured Android and Microsoft manufactured Windows phones. But the question is, which one is better and why?
Lets take a look onto difference between Android and Windows Phones based on various aspects.
Interface
Lock screen and opening screen of both the phones are awesome. However, the notification system in windows is not effective as Android, because it does not allow you to see the notification when the phone is locked. When it comes to multitasking Windows can be quite annoying, because it requires hitting the back button to view.
Overall : Windows phone is simple but not as impressive compared to Android.
Apps
To be honest, Windows is not even closer to Android. Many of the top apps in the world are missing in Windows and in January 2013, Windows had more than 150,000 apps compared to android that had around 8 Million apps.
Mobile Options

Since Android is being used on smartphones of different prices, their paid apps are way cheaper because of quantity comparatively.
Password Protect Reset
Android is able to protect devices when stolen, their password protection system can keep unwanted users from using the phone and personal data. Unfortunately, a Windows mobile operating system has no feature to protect stolen phones.
