Phones

Your phone may be the single most indispensable piece of technology you own — it goes everywhere with you. At Windows Central, we're still partial to Windows phones and Microsoft's Windows 10 Mobile OS. But we're also realistic. Windows phones aren't doing so well these days, and most of us who still carry Lumias, Elite x3s, or Idols also carry an Android or iOS phone, or both. That's why this Windows Central Phones page focuses on Windows Mobile and related developments but also includes news, information and opinions on what's going on in the Apple and Google mobile worlds.
