New Smartphone?

[RamboOC]

I switched to a windows phone 8.1 from android (I was android fanboy since 2009, and used almost all android versions, skipping honeycomb) 2 weeks ago or so, and I made the right choice. There is a small gap in the windows phone app store but there's a replacement for almost for every app i had on android. Microsoft only lets quality apps reach the windows phone store, i know that because when i published an app to the store it failed cerification process, microsoft debugged the app on 2 phones and found a bug linked to the theme. I saw quite a lot of low quality apps on google play store

I am really confused is Android Silver a Nexus but a different name. And will they be low price and high-specs and quality like the Nexus 5?

The weird thing I found with games, they don't have 90% of the X-Box games for Windows, on my S4 I had the ultimate Spiderman 2, and Batman Arkham origins, and they were 2 of the best game ever.

I went from an iphone 4 to the s3. Boy what a big mistake!
Despite its quad-core specs its laggy as hell. Get call drop-outs too and worst of all its pitch is slightly slow and being an audiophile I find this inexcusable.
Ergonomically its too thin to sit in your hand properly.
Fair to say I`ll never buy Samsung again and will be looking to go back to apple or a HTC one m8 which I`ve heard wonders about.
Anybody out there with a m8 and tell us a few positives?

it is googles way of controlling the hardware in phones more, they will set out a "guideline" hardware spec that if a manufacture follows can stick an android silver badge on it.

This could mean that there might be more than one version of a nexus device.

TBH you can root most phones and install cyanogen mod for the "stock android" experience, thought it's not directly from google CM team do keep very up to date with current android version.

Best advice i can give you is find a phone with a nice GUI/Shell, pretty much all new phones are going be running that same hardware.
