Their problem is how to entice two different group which their actions are highly related to the other conditions. I'm not so sure about the future of mobile realm of the Windows 10.

                    If this is true then it's awesome as you'll be able to flash between the two or maybe even dual boot once developers from XDA get on board!

                      And again, the Windows version of this phone will kill the Android version in all speed, battery and stability tests. Just like HTC's phone.

                          It will be interesting to see if the rumors are true and this phone supports OIS and 240fps recording. I'm betting it does, since it would be foolish not to exploit all the capabilities of the new chip. If they can still score sub-$400 it will be a huge hit.
                          We need better Android phones, especially with better video (with slow motion) capabilities. Only one Android phone supports 240fps so far (Nexus 6P) and it's crippled/near useless unless you connect it to a PC.
