Android Question

Guest
I posted the below question earlier on the WC site... I thought it would be good to get some opinions from people who prefer androids. Any Advice especially from those who have owned both, will be especially appreciated

Hello, to make a long story short I'm on a "family plan" and we are switching to Sprint to save money. I had every intention of staying with Windows but they only have low end devices. I had iPhones for years and find my Windows phone far superior with the app exception, but that's not as big of a deal to me. I don't want an iPhone so that leaves Android. In fairness, I know nothing about how Androids operate. Any feedback from someone with experience on both platforms would be appreciated. I am pretty brand loyal to Windows and own a Surface Pro 3, Xbox one, and the Microsoft band, so I'm also worried there would be more issues with automatically syncing documents etc., but now that Microsoft has made all there software available for Apple and Google, will I really be missing out on much? I should still be able to auto sync docs etc., correct? Thank you! And please leave the Sprint sucks portion of any argument out. It works fine where I live and work, friends have them. I'd most likely be getting an S6, but I love my windows phone... ​

Thank you.
 
I don't envisage syncing docs would be a problem, as Microsoft cloud storage app, OneDrive is available on Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.microsoft.skydrive. And, as you've mentioned, Office is available for Android too: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.microsoft.office.officehub.

Fwiw, I'm sure I read the S6 comes with a tonne of MS apps pre installed (I'll see if I can fig out the article).

What else do you want to know? My only smart phone experience is Android, so I can't really help with any WM/iOS/Android comparisons, but if you have any other questions or concerns and want to create an account to ask them, I'll try to answer any question you have.
