Yeah 8 and above are using the discontinued win rt kernel.

That's why win pho 7.8 exists, it's because the devices couldn't handle such a thing

On paper say, a nexus 6 is better. In theory, Android is such poo poo the specs barely run better then win pho.

games may not run at high framerates, but the system as a whole is more responsive and fluid and feels like ios in that regard.

wow a mobile phone from 2011 is no longer any good??? maybe you should have gotten a samsung galaxy nexus? i hear no one's had issues with those. or maybe you'd prefer the lumia 800, which ran windows phone 7.5 and couldn't upgrade to windows phone 8?

apple should not have released ios 7 or 8 for the 4s if it cant run them.

not that theres anything in ios 7 or 8 that should require faster hardware. its just really bad in general I guess.

would the lack of updates have convinced you to upgrade, or would you still be on one of those two shitphones today, and defend them against ios devices? i guess we'll never know

i've had an iphone 5, winphone 7 device (ugh), and an android 5 device and the exact opposite is true. people still clinging to 'windows phone is more fluid' haven't used a modern android or ios device.

if you are serious you can do some android level phone janitoring and downgrade your 4s to ios 6

Don't you just hate when you wind up in a store with people who are in a socioeconomic class that is pretty obviously about two levels lower than your own?

Shaggar posted:

but like just trying to find information on what winphones are available is a disaster. Microsoft's site only lists like 4 out of date phones and then each carrier has their own exclusive phones. its a loving nightmare. gonna wait until winphone 10 comes out tho and hopefully stuff will make more sense.
