Win 10 phones. The best Windows Mobile smartphones. How to use the application

Alas, smartphones are in the operating room Windows system less and less. What can I say, even if new Nokia smartphones work for Android based...However, a few interesting models left on our market, so let's do it short review on them.

Microsoft Lumia 550

"Budget" from Microsoft, running on Windows 10 Mobile. This is a small 4.7-inch smartphone with a resolution of 1280x720 pixels. Processor - Qualcomm Snapdragon 210, RAM capacity - 1 GB, internal memory - 8 GB, memory cards supported. Battery capacity - 2100 mAh.

There are two cameras here, their resolution is low (the rear one, for example, has a resolution of only 5 MP). There is only one SIM card, but there is LTE.

Microsoft Lumia 950 XL

This smartphone is already difficult to find on sale, but if you want, you can still buy it. This is quite an interesting device based on Windows 10.

Lumia 950 XL is the flagship device from Microsoft. Hence the excellent 5.7-inch display with a resolution of 2560×1440 pixels, a powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processor, 3 GB random access memory and 32 GB built-in (can be expanded - there is a slot for a memory card).

The smartphone also features an excellent rear camera. Its resolution is 20 million pixels, but what is more important is that it uses a six-element lens from Carl Zeiss. Also worth noting is the optical image stabilizer and proprietary software. All together this allows you to obtain very high quality images.

HP Elite X3

Does HP make smartphones? Imagine, yes, and in this case we are talking about a real flagship. Interestingly, the main material here is plastic. Obviously, it was used to lighten the large body, because the screen diagonal is as much as 5.96 inches (display resolution is 2560x1440 pixels).

The smartphone is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor, it has 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of internal memory. The battery is very capacious - 4150 mAh. Of course, there is a fingerprint sensor, you can also note the function wireless charging.

HP Elite X3 is positioned as a business smartphone. It is relatively inexpensive.

Acer Liquid Jade Primo

Several devices from Acer are also based on Windows 10 Mobile and the Liquid Jade Primo is no exception.

This is a fairly large 5.5-inch smartphone with a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels, which is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 processor and 3 GB of RAM. This is a flagship device, but be prepared for the fact that the body, contrary to fashion, is made of plastic.

The rear camera has a resolution of 21 million pixels, the front one - 8 million pixels. Battery capacity - 2870 mAh, available USB Type-C, but there is no fingerprint scanner.

FREETEL Katana 02

Never heard of FREETEL before? We too, this is a little-known Japanese company. But it became one of the first companies to receive Windows 10 Mobile in addition to smartphones from Microsoft itself.

The smartphone doesn't stand out in anything special. The 5-inch display has a standard resolution of 1280x720 pixels, the processor is Qualcomm Snapdragon 210, 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of internal memory. There is LTE and 2 SIM cards.

The smartphone is not sold in Russia. It is very difficult to find on the open market, except to order.

Today the phones are on Windows Phone are becoming increasingly popular. The latest version of this OS is Windows Phone 10.

According to the developers, it can also be obtained Windows users Phone 8.1.

However, for now this opportunity is only in the project.

On this moment The only way to get a phone with the tenth version of the Microsoft operating system is to buy a device with the OS pre-installed.

Rating of Windows Phones

It would be useful to understand which mobile phones generally work with Windows Phone. We will go by popularity rating.

No. 1. Microsoft Lumia 640

Perhaps the most popular Windows Phone model is the Lumia 640.

In terms of characteristics, this phone is nothing special - 5-inch screen, 1280x720 resolution (Hd), 8 GB of internal memory, 8 megapixel camera. Supports 3G and dual SIM cards.

It attracts only with its price - in our area you can buy it for about 130 dollars.

LG Magna H502 with similar characteristics costs about $140.

No. 2. Microsoft Lumia 550 and 650

Most recently, the new Lumia 650 entered the market, which became an improved version of the 550 model.

The screen has become larger (5 inches at 650 and 4.7 at 550), the resolution remains unchanged - 1280x720. The camera has also become better - 8 megapixels after 5 megapixels, both with autofocus.

The 650th Lumiya has 16 GB of memory, and the 550th has 8 GB. Both phones come with Windows Phone 10 pre-installed and also have built-in GLONASS, GPS and 4G features.

The price of the 550th model is $145, and the 650th is sold for 210 units of US currency.

So far the excitement has not subsided and they are charging quite a lot of money for the new product, but in the future the price will drop significantly.

Despite its short time on the market, the Lumia 650 has already become the owner large quantities rave reviews and, for sure, in the future it will be as popular as the 550th model.

Both phones have a standard battery for this price category. I wish there was more. Microsoft Lumia 550 has a 2100 mAh battery, and 650 has a 2000 mAh battery.

And this despite the fact that the budget one of these two is only the 550th.

What caused the creators to decide to make a less capacious battery remains a mystery.

No. 2. Microsoft Lumia 430

There is support for GPS and GLONASS. The price for a device with such characteristics is quite standard – $170.

By the way, there is a stereotype that phones with Windows Phone OS are produced only by Microsoft itself, but next we will look at which phones from other companies come out with this operating system.

Although Microsoft is the best at integrating its brainchild into hardware, which is why phones from this company are in first place in the ranking.

U mobile devices from the same Nokia there are often problems with using Windows Phone.

They concern slow work(freezing), correct operation of some applications and other minor features.

No. 6. HTC 7 Mozart

HTC is also joining the company of Windows Phone owners. Although so far the British-Taiwanese concern is not doing very well.

For $210 we are offered a small (3.7 inches with a resolution of 800x480) smartphone with an 8 MP camera and 8 GB memory without a memory card slot.

There is no GLONASS support here, only simple GPS. The battery here is weak and that’s putting it mildly – ​​1300 mAh.

This phone wins only due to good, high-quality work without failures. This device will serve its owners for many years.

But I don’t really want to pay that kind of money when the Microsoft Lumia 640 XL is live.

No. 7. HTC Windows Phone 8

The Taiwanese tried to improve the situation a little by releasing HTC Windows Phone 8 in 2012. Its screen is slightly larger - 4 inches, the resolution remains the same - 800x480.

There is less memory - 4 GB, but there is already a card slot. The improvements also include the addition of GLONASS.

For some reason, the camera was also made smaller - 5 megapixels, but they worked hard on the battery - 1700 mAh. They also removed the poor, overly oval edges and made the device more rectangular.

Now attention: it sells for $125 (yes, the HTC 7 Mozart costs $210).

This begs a lot of questions about HTC's pricing policy. But we can say with confidence that the phone is worth the money.

Advantages of Windows Phones

Windows Phone has everything to make the same iPhone and Android devices a relic of the past in the future.

This operating system has the following advantages over others, they are as follows:

• Live Tiles, that is, icons on the desktop look much better than standard shortcuts in other operating systems.
  They provide more opportunities to personalize a mobile phone, because the user can change the size of the “tiles” or customize them the way he wants. In Android, the most that can be changed is the screensaver and theme.

• Work in multitasking mode implemented much more convenient for the user. To see all the programs, you need to press the "Back" button, after which a slide show will appear.
  In the same iPhone, you need to scroll between applications and, to close one of them, click on the small cross. On big phones This is not a problem, but it is inconvenient on a small one.
• More convenient work with contacts. By clicking on a particular contact, you can see the latest letters and messages, and not general information about a human.
  There is even a full-fledged news feed that collects information from all social networks (shown in Figure 10.a).
• More convenient integration with social networks, clouds and other services.
  The process of exporting contacts is not difficult - the user has a list of services that can be integrated with (Figure 10.b), and he just needs to click on the one he needs and enter his login and password. Then the system will do everything itself.

Conclusion! Windows Phones are an excellent alternative to Android, iOS and other operating systems - you can buy a more powerful smartphone for a lower price. Of course, it has its drawbacks. For example, this is the integration of the OS on phones not released by Microsoft - so far only Nokia's attempt can be considered successful. Still, you can and should buy Windows Phone mobile phones!

Windows Phones - Most Popular Models

The future of Windows 10 Mobile has become a popular topic among fans and critics alike ever since Microsoft announced that Windows 10 Mobile development would move to the "feature2" branch and remain there. Although Microsoft has stated that the change is minor, Windows Central sources paint a different story; development of Windows 10 Mobile was separated from the rest of Windows 10 on other platforms. But why?

Microsoft has separated the development of Windows 10 Mobile from the rest of Windows 10 because Windows 10 Mobile is no longer required for what Microsoft plans for Windows on mobile devices. Sources suggest that the next mobile Microsoft device what will work within the company is called Andromeda OS; a version of Windows that aims to be modular enough to run on any form factor and, as a result, eliminates the need for the Windows 10 Mobile edition. So Microsoft no longer needs Windows specific Windows versions 10, which means Windows 10 Mobile is now redundant.

This is great news, except for one important detail; Existing Windows smartphones will not receive updates to this "Andromeda OS".

Feature2 branch

According to sources, the feature2 branch exists to continue supporting what Microsoft's internal documentation calls "legacy ARM chipsets" for the next year and a half. The main goal of the feature2 branch is to continue serving mobile Windows devices 10 through 2018 with bug fixes, security updates, and new enterprise-specific features. It is also reported that Microsoft will support new UWP APIs that will be introduced in Redstone 3 and Redstone 4 on PC

The reason these APIs are "backwards" and not originally introduced is because the feature2 branch is technically Redstone 2 (but it's frozen). When Microsoft split Windows 10 Mobile into the feature2 branch, it also froze OneCore development on Redstone 2. Now, given that Windows 10 Mobile will not recreate the rest of Windows 10 development, this means that Windows 10 Mobile will support Redstone 2 for the remainder own life.

So, to compensate for this, Microsoft will support the new UWP APIs that will be introduced in Redstone 3 and Redstone 4. This means that if an application developer is targeting any new UWP APIs that will be introduced in the next couple of Windows 10 releases, these applications will continue to work with feature2 Windows 10 Mobile. This should give Windows 10 Mobile an extra boost of life in the next year or so.

This is why there is no Skip Ahead setting for mobile devices running Windows 10. There's simply nothing to miss. The only development for Windows 10 Mobile is Redstone 2.

It is indeed true that Microsoft continued to compile Redstone 3 builds for Windows 10 Mobile for a while, but only to continue CShell development on smaller engineering devices. However, sources said that this is no longer the case as of last month as CShell will not be available for existing Windows smartphones. It's also worth noting that Microsoft's efforts to bring new APIs to Windows 10 Mobile are only planned until Redstone 4, but that could change.

Application support won't last forever

Once the APIs stop receiving calls, Windows 10 Mobile devices will very quickly fall behind the rest of Windows 10 when it comes to supporting UWP apps. As developers begin to integrate the new APIs coming with Redstone 5, these apps will not be able to run on feature2 with Windows 10 Mobile, meaning devices like the Lumia 950 and HP Elite x3 will quickly lose support applications. Microsoft may continue to support Windows 10 Mobile with security updates in 2018.

Microsoft will continue to release production Windows builds 10 Mobile (outside of the Insider Program), and may also continue to align them with PC releases such as the Fall Creators Update. But since development has been split between Mobile and Desktop, Microsoft can choose to release mobile updates on its own schedule if it wants.

In short, Microsoft will support Windows 10 Mobile for the foreseeable future to serve the remaining users.

Nokia is the most active manufacturer that produces the most Windows Phone smartphones. The flagships of the Finnish manufacturer are famous throughout the world for their beauty, elegance and quality. Along with expensive and powerful smartphones, produces affordable solutions with excellent parameters and a reasonable price. Nokia also produces exclusive applications for its smartphones more than anyone else, and all of them are free for owners Nokia Lumia, but are not available to others. .

HTC- the second largest manufacturer of smartphones. Let HTC smartphones Windows Phone cannot boast of such bright colors(with the exception of HTC 8X and HTC 8S), but they offer everything highest quality assemblies and powerful solutions. HTC account has a Red Dot Award for best design(HTC 8X and HTC 8S) and the device with the most big screen on Windows Phone (HTC Titan). HTC has also made a number of benefits for its customers by making an app exclusive to WP7 and WP8 that can display the clock, weather and date on a large desktop tile. There are no analogues. .

Samsung With all his appearance he shows that his primary operating system is Android. Proof of this is the small number of first-generation smartphones and only two second-generation smartphones. Samsung smartphones I can’t boast of anything supernatural on Windows Phone. These are ordinary communicators, dressed in an ordinary design, which has found and will still find its consumer. IN Windows store Phone has a separate section dedicated to Samsung exclusives, which are worth noting a few. By the way, Samsung holds the title of the first-born Windows Phone 8. It was the ATIV S that became the first smartphone on Windows Phone 8. .

Huawei has only recently joined the race for leadership in the Windows Phone market. The manufacturer offers affordable smartphones with good filling. By the way, the devices run on Windows Phone 8. previous version smartphones were not released. Huawei Ascend W2 is a smartphone that should be the thinnest Windows Phone 8 smartphone. Not announced yet, but should appear soon. Huawei Ascend W1 is the most affordable after Nokia Lumia 520. If we talk about any programs, Huawei has not done anything like this. .

LG did not stand aside when all manufacturers rushed to create smartphones based on Windows Phone 7.5 and released a number interesting devices. To tell the truth, these smartphones were not the best in terms of appearance. But among them there was a smartphone with a physical keyboard. This is the horizontal slider of LG Optimus 7Q. All devices received an update to version 7.8. It’s interesting that LG refused to release phones on Windows Phone 8; it probably decided not to repeat the failure of its smartphones on the previous version of the OS. Several programs from the manufacturer have found a place in the market. .

Fujitsu takes sixth place in the catalog due to the fact that they released the very first smartphone on Windows Phone, back in the antediluvian seventh version (we're not even talking about 7.5 Mango). The IS12 is a powerful device that has been the subject of dreams and envy. It is also still the only rugged Windows Phone smartphone. Dust and moisture did not get into the IS12. This model also has the most powerful camera on Windows Phone - 13.2 megapixels. Fujitsu did not release any programs for its brainchild. For the first time, this particular smartphone received 32GB of memory. .

Dell was also at one time a manufacturer of Windows Phone devices. He distinguished his brainchild from the general list of devices by releasing the Dell Venue Pro - a wonderful smartphone on Windows Phone 7, which could boast not only a relatively large (4.1") screen and good appearance. Its main distinctive feature is a physical keyboard. This smartphone is built in the form of a vertical slider with a full QWERTY keyboard. This is the end of Dell's songs, both in terms of smartphones and in terms of applications. .

Alcatel showed his brainchild at the end of 2012. It was called Alcatel One Touch View. We must pay tribute, the smartphone turned out to be really good in everything - a decent processor and amount of RAM (though the storage size let us down), stylish appearance(very original design of the rear panel) and a good camera with flash and front lens. There are no such disadvantages in this device, except perhaps the absence of a physical camera shutter button. The main advantage was the price - $210. .

Acer famous for the production of computer equipment. There was an attempt to conquer the smartphone market. On the Android platform, devices are released regularly and quite successfully. In 2011, Acer Alegro was introduced - a smartphone with beautiful name and standard parameters. It has a 1 GHz processor and was special in that it already had Windows Phone 7.5 Mango pre-installed. It was positioned as a mid-price smartphone. We haven't seen any more devices from Acer. .

ZTE just like Huawei attempted to create Windows Phone smartphone. ZTE Tania, the only subsidiary of the manufacturer, has joined the ranks of cheap smartphones running Windows Phone 7.5. It is equipped with a relatively large 4.3 TFT display, 4GB of storage and a 5MP rear camera with flash. Although the design solution did not disappoint (it looks quite good), the “abundance” of colors (even one - white) confused me. The smartphone was little known and extremely cheap. It was bought by those who wanted to get acquainted with the platform, but did not want to spend money on an expensive (at that time) Nokia Lumia 800 or HTC Radar. .

Megafon- an outsider in our catalog. Introduced also, only 1 smartphone- Megafon SP-W1. This smartphone is an exact copy of the ZTE Tania, only in white. More Russian operator mobile communications made no attempts to penetrate the Windows Phone market. .
