For long, we have had the impression that Windows smartphones come with stronger and more efficient multitasking ability compared to Android and iOS phones. Unfortunately, it doesn’t always seem to be that great. And unimpressive multitasking is only one among 4 things I hate about Windows smartphones.

Unimpressive multitasking

Windows smartphones are produced based on the inspiration of your PC platform. Unlike Android, which is more concerntrated on the entertainment side, Windows smartphones are targeted as  “handy working machines” that allow users to have smooth and strong performance, even when working on multiple apps at the same time. However, users’ feedbacks been telling the opposite for the past few years: multi tasking is totally find for the processor, but for the users themselves. This means, although the “core machine” has zero problem loading a lot of programs, the UI is not efficient enough to save cache. Therefore, many common apps like Skype even don’t run smoothly in the background.

To add to the problem, the multitasking command on Windows smartphones is a bit too complicated to perform. For example, when you long press the go back button, it will open the running apps pending in the background. However, if you accidentally press the same button, your current app will close down. These 2 actions are quite similar to one another, making it both confusing and annoying for many users. In general, Windows smartphones’ multitasking is not really an ideal offer for an average users, but rather for more advanced tech-competent people.
