Settings on Windows 10 for Phone and PC are stark and simple

The Settings area on Windows PCs has always been a challenge. At once it needs to be simple and easy to navigate, while also letting power users have all the options that they want to change. That is a tall order to fulfil.

Windows 10 completely revamps Settings once again, but this time it trickles down to the phone. Indeed, the Settings on Windows Phone is a bit of a mess with a seemingly endless unorganized list.

Does Windows 10 finally fix this? It is too early to tell, but you have to admit, it looks dead simple (and hopefully you can see it better in our high-resolution photo).

Like all things in Windows 10, this too is subject to change, based mostly on your feedback. For now though, what do you think?
