So, finally a few days back windows phone 8.1 was launched and it brought a lot of features users were demanding including the action center, home screen backgrounds, cortana, swipe keyboard and much more interesting features! But there are some features still missing that i think can still hold some customers to buy windows phone and i am here to point out the most important of them! Let us begin!
1. GOOGLE SERVICES ARE STILL MISSING!
According to the recent survey, gmail services hold about 74% of market share and that is a huge share! So, in this situation with windows phone having not even a single important Google service can hold its market share to grow! Services like YouTube, blogger, gmail, chrome browser and many more are used daily by almost all, so according to me until Microsoft brings Google services to windows phone, it is not going to grow that much! Sure, according to Microsoft, these services are coming soon but until then, it is going to be a real push back for windows phone!
2. OTG SUPPORT!
A lot of people like to carry their entertainment with them all the time or connect keyboard or game controller and in this case, they use the USB on the go feature on android smartphones and that is missing on the windows phone! Before the launch of windows phone 8.1, there was actually a rumor that revealed that there is going to be otg support on windows phone but there is not and i hope it comes in the future updates! It is not going to affect the market share that much but i think it would be nice if they bring it!
3.PRINT DOCUMENTS DIRECTLY FROM YOUR PHONE!
Now, this feature is about cloud printing and if someone is unaware of that, it is actually printing using cloud functionality which includes no wires or cables and you can directly print from anywhere! This feature right comes in built in both android and ios and a lot of people like using it everyday! Sure, there are third party apps available but i think it should come in built in the future updates! This feature will be a big success on windows phone because of the office that comes in built in!
4. A FULLY FUNCTIONAL FILE MANAGER!
SD cards are supported in some of the windows phone but there is no fully functional file manager that on could use to organize its files in a lot more efficient way! There are third party apps but they miss a lot of the features! Features like unzipping and zipping a file are missing and i hope microsoft brings this features in future!
5.FASTER UPDATES TO APPS!
Windows phone store is growing everyday but the real thing that concerns me is that updates are not coming along with android and ios! For example the twitter is app is really poor in functionality and whatsapp is not that fast and misses some features! So, right now my concern is not the apps but the updates that should come along with android and ios! Microsoft should fix this and force developers to bring updates more faster!
TO SUM UP...
So those were my top missing features from the windows phone right now, there are actually more like no flash support in the browser! Windows phone looks a lot more developed after the windows phone 8.1 but these features should come in faster in order for windows phone to compete with android or ios!
-SO I GUESS THAT'S IT FOR THIS TIME! HOPE YOU
