Home Screen
home screen of Windows Phone, in all its versions, is customizable and consists of large colorful icons, the Live Tiles, which occupy the entire screen of the phone. If the application is tied one game or app messaging, for example, the icon displays additional information, which makes the appearance of the cell and well diversified with more content soon on the home screen.
This functionality does not exist in iOS 6, Apple. After unlocking the iPhone, applications are dipostos uniformly, without the existence of a separate home screen or widgets to the show. The most you can do in the system owner is to create folders with multiple apps grouped. Apple keeps this design since 2007, the first smartphone from the company.
Android home screen has a separate other interfaces identical to iOS, where are the apps. In this initial screen of the Google system the user can customize which widgets will become apparent, the background image, the apps will be in a privileged position within the smartphone and various other options. All this is allowed thanks to open source software. However, comparing to Windows Phone, this setup of Android is harder to be organized by the owner of the cell.

Performance
Windows Phone 7, the first version of the system arrived on smartphones like Samsung Omnia 7, LG Quantum and HTC 7 Mozart, models with 1 GHz processors That is, with a limited portfolio of products, Windows Phone came up with quality in the market.
At the same time, the iPhone 4 also had an A8 chip with 1 GHz, roughly equivalent to devices with Windows at the time. Android, different from the two competitors was on devices with processors of 600 MHz to other smartphones more powerful.
Therefore, if you want a system that is on multiple devices, but that values ??quality, Windows Phone is an option on the iOS and Android rivals. Microsoft’s system is so good that benefited the main partner of the operating system, Nokia. The two companies announced a partnership on February 11, 2011.
Number of applications available
In the latest version, Windows Phone 8 has more than 120,000 apps in its store. Microsoft’s system tends to emphasize programs that come built into the phone, like the browser Internet Explorer.

In comparison, Apple’s iTunes has approximately 700,000 programs in your store, the same number of Google Play. That is, in this regard, Windows Phone still leaves much to be desired. Competitors have almost six times the number of applications that Microsoft has.
Despite having the main apps of the two rivals – like WhatsApp, Facebook, Twitter and Foursquare – many users still feel a lack of programs considered “essential” currently on a smartphone such as Instagram. The imaging program has no release date for Windows Phone.
Security
Although there in less than Android devices, it is misleading to think that Windows Phone is necessarily safer. A bug involving the SMS system, for example, makes the Windows Phone 7 lock. But still, the amount of virus and malware for the platform is much lower than the existing system from Google.
Android will always be a more vulnerable by its large portfolio of devices, but its code is open, developers can create new protection mechanisms. Already iOS, being a proprietary system, is constantly updated to have the best performance on iPhones and iPads.

So if the question is by changing the Windows Phone Android for security, maybe not worth it. The best option, in this sense, are devices developed by Apple.
Conclusion
Windows Phone is a great operating system for those who want to leave the sameness that are Android and iOS, always with the same interfaces. The WP is a stable system with reasonable assurance. The software is also present in the top line of smartphones Nokia, which has neat and finished products in the Lumia series.
system is less than the amount of applications, which is still far below competitors. So if you insist on having a huge variety of programs and the latest market updates, Windows Phone can be a little disappointing.
So if you tired of the same interface and usability in present systems Android and iOS, Windows Phone is a great choice. The devices come to market with the platform are excellent and if you do not mind the still low number of applications, will really enjoy the .
