Windows Phone is Microsoft’s baked OS for smart phones. It
introduced a new UI (User Interface) in the mobile world. Many FanDroids
(Android Fans) usually bash or troll in a forum regarding Windows Phone. This
makes some people confuse after they post in forums about lack of apps and how
it will disappear soon due to lack of market share.
Now let me clarify some things. Windows Phone has lots of apps in the market. But not as many as Android. Android has been there years ahead of Windows Phone. Windows Phone also implements a new programming language (C#) which is also one of the reasons why some developers are still not able to adopt Windows Phone. Developers are still in the process of adopting the new operating system and the operating system itself is still in the process of growing.

Now let’s get down to business. Here are some reasons why you should choice Windows Phone instead of Android.
1. It is more secured
Windows Phone is a close sourced operating system. One
advantage of this is that unlike open-sourced like Android, hacking a
closed-sourced operating system is harder and Microsoft usually release new
updated to cover up those security vulnerabilities. You are most likely not
going to worry about getting a virus on a Windows Phone based smart phone or
having security issues.
2. It is more fluid
There have been many debates regarding this. Many android
fans are always in denial regarding this issue. But let’s face it. Android is
not a very fluid operating system. Even quad core android phones have occasional
lags. And most entry level Android devices suffer a lot. But for windows phone
devices, even a entry level device like the lumia 520 runs very smooth even
with all those animations. It barely suffers a lag even with just a 512mb ram.
3. It is less power hungry
One issue with android operated devices is that it gets
battery low very quickly. This is due to some installed apps running in the
background while it is in standby mode. But Windows Phone devices use
multi-taking ala iOS. Only communication apps or apps that require to run
actively in the background are allowed to run (like Viber and Skype). Other
apps like games are then paused once you minimized it stopping the process and
saving the data in the RAM. And when you run the app again, the app is then
resumed to the last state you left it. So when you set the device in standby,
usually only the system is running and the apps are stopped saving you lots of
battery. The Operating System itself is lighter as compared to android using
only a small amount of resources when running saving you battery.
