If any Smart Phone that can complete and Beat Apple Iphone's series than that is Samsung Galaxy Android smart Phones. Now for Nokia they are already failed with their worse Windows OS and Soon Nokia will stop making Nokia Phone due to big loss has like Blackberry. And Sony Xperia they are also good Smart Phones but the Weak Point is late Late Firmware Update where has Samsung Galaxy Series gets the Firmware update immediately. And For LG Google Nexus 5 their biggest Weak point is no SD Card come 16 GB or 32 GB now a Days is just like 20 to 25 HD movies. Trust me i am a phone Expert, Never ever waste your money on any Nokia Series and always watch for Latest Samsung Galaxy Series on any day or any time.

I completely disagree.... First of all dont compare android with windows phone.... Windows phones are so classy and perfect next to IOS. Only problem they have is Apps. Its going to be personal choice when you look at the apps... as per preformance nokia rocks.... I am a galaxy user, I am fed up of samsung stupid draining battry techs...
If you really want to use the best out of android, nexus 4 or 5 is the best choice. i never seen android phones battery for so much hours even 3G on all the time.... I was so jeolous of my friends who use both lumia and nexus 4. They used to browse and use camera, still they able to have plenty of battery charge, whereas i have to look at my stupid galaxy black screen(battery dead and mobile switch of so soon if your 3g on) if i try to do the same thing.... I coudnt change my mob as i invested 25k and when i try to sell they asking for 10k... So i am waiting for right time....
You say Windows Phone is next to iOS because Android not only run highly monitored and maintained flagship devices but also a lot of low cost devices. Apps are very important. Why do you choose Windows over Linux ? Because of software available for the platform, same is the case with Android.

Brother has I said before I am a phone expert Bcuz my cousin is in mobile import and export business here in Dubai. He exports phones to all over world. Has per my information the Samsung Galaxy phones like S4 and note 3 and Apples IPhone 5s and 5c are the most demanding smart phones in the world around 50% of smart phone market is owned by this phones and their is less than 10 % smart phone market for Nokia lumia series. So plz don't say that you can't compare Android phones with nokia Windows Os Bcuz currently 70% of smart user's are using Android OS in the world I don't think you are no way near smart to that 70% peoples in the world. And for the top 3 best smart phones in the world with best battery life are Android OS smart phones and which are LG G2, Motorola HD Maxx and Samsung note 3 with more than 12 hours of battery life on heavy usage then next are iPhone then in the bottom are Nokia lumia series. I don't think you have ever used any smart phone rather than Nokia black and white phones or you would never say that Nokia lumia phones are better than any high end android smart series.
And for your kind information about battery life which getting on your samsung galaxy phone, now I don't know which galaxy phone you are using but I am getting 8 to 10 hours of battery life on my samsung s4 and that also on LTE 4G connection which consumes double the battery than on 3G connection and a full day battery life with light usage.
Apple ecosystem is somewhat closed & Apple wants to control end user experience, same thing with MS Windows.
There are global standards for mobile technologies for interoperability which are not properly implemented by Apple & MS in their devices so as to force user to use their own proprietary software.
According to reports, Apple has around 15% share in the global market but earns more than 50% of the total profit by all phone manufacturers.
One more thing is that most of the phones by Apple/MS (Nokia Lumia) doesn't have user replacable batteries. Users may want to have another battery which is impossible in this case.

Unbelievable! Read This First, Before Buying a Nokia Lumia

Unbelievable! Read This First, Before Buying a Nokia Lumia
Generally on TechForWorld, we never review a product to criticize it. Why waste time on things that are useless? But Nokia Lumia smartphone specially got my attention to write a review for, especially after gifting one to my wife. She was so disappointed that she is waiting for her next birthday. First I thought I must teach her ‘features’ of Nokia Lumia. But even I was stuck and shocked! Thanks to the two giants like Microsoft and Nokia. And also thanks to the big reviewers who actually did shameless flattery of Nokia- instead of actually reviewing it. Read on for a frank, practical Nokia Lumia review written after actually using it:
Of course, One good thing about Lumia is that it is one of the most beautiful phones because of its screen quality. Its camera/photo quality is noticeable of course. And playing videos and games on its large, bright screen is really enjoyable. Processor speed is fine and appreciated by reviewers. The phone switches on quickly and apps are loaded fast. Windows Phone 7.5 OS makes it a smooth experience to use it: not worse than using Android. But here are so many limitations in Lumia- which actually are problems for which they have not left any solutions. If you are planning to buy a Lumia, please know about the following issues first:
1. Bluetooth: No File Transfer Support!
What is Bluetooth there for? Correct, to transfer files. Any common phone supports Bluetooth file transfer. But with Lumia, you cannot transfer your files because Lumia does not support widely used OBEX file transfer protocol for Bluetooth. You can transfer only contacts. So they have wasted on unusable Bluetooth feature, but…
2. No SD Card or Expandable Memory
…they did not think about expandable memory card slot! Worst, if you have bought a so called entry level smartphone Nokia Lumia 510, you are stuck because it has only 2.5 GB actually usable memory out of advertised 4 GB. We will come to that point in detail.
3. No USB Mass Storage: You Cannot Directly Transfer Your Files!
Bluetooth is unusable… OK. But you cannot also directly transfer your files from your computer! Sadly Lumia does not support USB mass storage. You have to either use a cloud service or a CRAP utility called Zune with a USB cable to transfer files.
Think about that! If you want to simply copy your favorite song or picture from your computer to phone, first upload it from your computer to your cloud account and then sync with your phone.
What about Zune? I am a software developer and rarely call a software ‘crap’. Zune is the most user-unfriendly software I have ever reviewed. Did really Microsoft develop Zune? It will take too long time and efforts to understand how you can transfer files using Zune. I do not know who uses that software. And if you a novice PC user, Forget it!
And as a bonus, you cannot transfer files of type 3GP and AVI videos. There is nothing like a basic feature called file manager.
4. Large Share of ‘Reserved’ Memory
You are going to feel cheated, because there is a lot of difference between advertised internal memory versus usable memory for Lumia. For example, in a Lumia 800 with 16 GB advertised memory, you can use only 13.8 GB! And worst case, if you have bought Lumia 510, you are stuck at only 2.5 GB. Out of 4 GB advertised memory, 1.5 GB is ‘reserved’ for system! You have no control or setting over it. And do not forget that there is no external expandable memory card slot.
5. Far Worse Thing in Lumia: Notifications
Notifications actually do not serve their purpose on Lumia and it is criticized so much by users. You will so much miss app notifications (missed calls, voice-mails, Facebook, etc.) and messages on Lumia. Like other phones, there is no feature or indicator in Lumia that will continuously remind you of pending notifications by a sound or LED. Whenever you get a notification, a low-volume bell will ring once and then, end of story! You cannot even change the tone or volume of that notification sound.
And for emails, Lumia is far untrustworthy. I have experienced myself, sometimes you get an email notification, and sometimes not! Will you rely on Lumia?
You need to keep checking your phone every five minutes. Really, Lumia has killed the real purpose of notifications.
6. Wi-Fi Will Turn Off When Screen Is Locked
One thing you need to be careful. If your phone is in power-saver mode, the Wi-Fi will turn off automatically if the screen is locked. If you want to keep the Wi-Fi on, you need to get the phone out of the power-saver mode. No, there is no other option!
And surprisingly Lumia does not support Wi-Fi tethering (also known as Wi-Fi hotspot) which any common Android phone can support.
7. Contacts Mix Up
When you login to one of your account, the phone will automatically sync all your contacts on your Windows Live/Hotmail account, Facebook and SIM card. Every single contact on your phone, email address, Facebook and Hotmail will be dumped into your phone, paired up with the same contacts and then uploaded onto your Windows Live address book. There is no setting left for your own control over this and privacy.
8. Set Your Own Ringtone: How Dare You!
You cannot easily, directly use your own sound file as a ringtone. To do that, see below steps yourself:
1. Download and install Zune utility form www.zune.net
2. Then connect your phone to your computer by using USB cable. Then open Zune in your computer
4. Select the sound file you want to use as a ringtone. The file must be in MP3 or WMA format and it should be 40 seconds long and the size should be less than 1MB.
5. Right click the file and select edit.
6. Type ‘ringtone’ in the genre field, or select it from the list.
7. Drag and drop the new ringtone to your phone.
8. On your phone, select > Settings and ringtones+sounds, then select your ringtone.
Conclusion
The question remains unanswered why a ‘smart’ phone by Microsoft and Lumia can have such limitations: most features are supported even by cheap phones. Apart from problems discussed above, there are also some issues which you may experience when using a Lumia. There is still lack of useful and popular apps like Android provides. Also, some of the apps/games I had downloaded started crashing after some days (when starting they would unexpectedly close without any alert). This phone has also limited customization features (theme, colors, sounds) like all other phones provide. I also read reviews of other users of Lumia: many of them cited it as the worst smartphone they have ever had. Most users are also disappointed with battery backup. Some experts suggest that current versions of Windows Phone (7.0 and 7.5) are like beta and may evolve with time. As a Microsoft technology developer, I hope Microsoft and Nokia will together do their best to correct limitations of Lumia and make it truly a smartphone.

I am a samsung s2 user. Just being on in 4g or 3g doesnt going give much drain... you have to use it... i use to browse often... i dont play game but i do other activities.... Dont talk about s4 and note 2... not everyone could afford phones with high battery life, I am talking about mid level phone.... ok i agree some draw backs there in nokia lumia. once they the rectify it, and after it goes to mircosoft, we will see much better windows phone....
And stop talking like you know everything about phones... Because samsung sell large no of phones doesnt change the fact its crap....
Because samsung sells more no of phones than iphone doesnt mean they are better than iphone. Reason for samsung having high no of sale is because of their features and price. Now a days people put built quality and battery life behind and go with features. That is not a best way to choose a phone. Please go and touch nokia, sony and iphone the built quality is really awesome. when i hold samsung even s4 it is so cheap.... most of the people will agree i belive.
