Former Microsoft Engineer Reveals Why Windows Phone Fails!
Maybe there are still many of us who are still wondering why Windows Phone is no longer produced. Even though the operating system owned by Microsoft has many loyal users.
One of Nokia’s engineers tried to explain why Windows Phone failed in the market. The figure of this technician also claimed to have worked at Nokia before and after being acquired by Microsoft.
As reported on the Mspoweruser page, the engineer said that there were four reasons according to him that were the key to the failure of the Windows Phone smartphone.
4 Causes Windows Phone Failed
Microsoft Underestimates Google
Microsoft looked down on Google, they considered their rivals to be new players rather than threats. For companies based in Redmond, their tough opponent is Apple.
At first, Android was not very attractive to users, but it was Google’s services that made all the difference. Well when Google started to have support for YouTube, Google Maps and Gmail, making Windows Phone devices less valuable.
Windows 8 Effects
Microsoft is trying to make major changes to Windows 8 so that it can support touch screens. They then released the Metro user interface.
However, many users find Metro to have an unpleasant experience. Then Microsoft started to fix it in Windows 10, so the stigma against Metro was also resolved.
Microsoft Reputation
Currently most young people do not really like Microsoft. They prefer to have other devices that suit their taste and are comfortable to use.
Loyalty
Many consider the applications provided on Windows Phone are less attractive. This condition is different with iOS and Android.
This is the reason why many people don’t choose or move to Windows Phone. Not to mention, the number of developers who develop applications for these two competing platforms for WP is very large.
More and more iOS and Android continue to fill the market replacing Windows Phone. Finally, Microsoft stopped production of its mobile operating system.
