We got to the last video of the series of comparisons between Windows 10 Mobile Redstone Android and N, which have been demonstrated some important points of both platforms that must be taken into account by the users at the time of choice. As we saw earlier, the systems have their respective updates released in the second half of this year, with Microsoft publishing the update already in the month of July while Google will make a new edition of green little robot only in October or November this year, and thus more time to work with her.
After talking about the initial / lockscreen screen interface as a whole and also performance, behold, we will focus now on the possibilities for customization of each platform, their personal assistants and application stores , thus seeking to “close the account” with respect to all the main differences and similarities between them. Again, we used an Lumia 640 XL with the latest version of Windows Mobile 10 Redstone (build 14367) and a Nexus 5X with the latest beta build of Android N, in which case the fourth edition released in the testing program.
As seen, Android N and Windows 10 Mobile Redstone have large differences with respect to customization possibilities, because while the first allows the use of a multitude of applications and MODs to be customized exactly as the user want, the second bet on something more restrained, but available natively in their own system settings. Regarding the voice assistant Google Now we slightly higher than Cortana, being able to recognize and react more quickly and directly, in addition to understanding the context of a more intuitive way. Meanwhile, Microsoft’s wizard allows more elaborate conversations and “play”, with a vast entertainment area
In all, the following points were highlighted:.
- Android has an unbeatable feature is to enable users to apply a new interface layer only with the change of the launcher, something missing in Windows 10 Mobile.
- Windows 10 Mobile, however, has an interesting feature that is still missing from the Android known as Dark Mode, something inserted by Google in the second preview of Android N but disappeared in the following versions.
- Both Android as Windows 10 N Mobile really offer good options for customizing wallpaper on the home screen or lockscreen.
- Voice Assistant on both platforms work very well and are very efficient, but Cortana focuses more on having a personality as Google Now is a very fast and accurate, also providing information in the form of letters.
- Both Google Play as the Windows Store have a very similar user interface in terms of organization of information, and submit a list of “tops” practically equivalent. At this point, however, one can not deny that the Play Store is much larger than the Windows Store in terms of number of applications, and noted the lack mainly clients for social networks like Snapchat, Facebook (still in beta), Messenger ( still in beta) and WhatsApp (not yet upgraded to the standard UWP) or games like Clash of Clans.
Speaking of a short form, we note that the Windows 10 Mobile Redstone search available everything you need natively, while Android N still misuses of third parties provided solutions to be able to rely on an ecosystem much more stable and developed. This reflects mainly the customization options and application store, requiring you to define what your priorities before choosing which system to use.
