Faced with the admitted and clear failure of Windows Phone, Microsoft has changed its strategy without abandoning the mobile sector, relying on Android.
The reasoning seems to be the right one and is based on two premises: the fact that Android is the most popular operating system for phones in the world and the possibility of being able to use Android with some freedom, so that you can customize it even in depth.
Bearing, therefore, the fact of having to go through the Google store, Microsoft has started the release of a series of new remarkable applications, which can lead many users to want to turn their Samsung, Huawei or other Android mobile phone into a Windows Phone or Windows Mobile 10 .
Why we should want to turn Android into a modern version of Windows Phone "> best Microsoft apps for Android phones.
To turn Android into Windows Mobile you must first install the Microsoft launcher .
sando the Microsoft Launcher and combining it with some other apps you can really get the feeling of the Windows experience on the Android device.
The Microsoft Launcher does not bring the tiled graphics characteristic of Windows 10 Mobile and modifies the main screen of the phone in the traditional way, but with the addition of functions strictly related to Windows 10.
With background, fonts and icons in Microsoft style it also allows you to browse the news of the day and to obtain the " Contnua on PC " function, which appears by touching the share button in each application.
For example, you can open a photo on Android and then touch the share button and find, among the various options, Continue on PC, which leads directly to send the photo on the Windows 10 PC.
Continue on PC is a function that can only be used on Windows 10 after Fall Creators Update.
If, on the other hand, you wanted to have a perfectly identical graphic to that of Windows 10 Mobile, you could install the spectacular SquareHome 2 launcher, which is not from Microsoft, but it really works wonderfully.
It will really seem to no longer use an Android phone with this launcher, with all the apps turned into tiles, very easy to use and with many customization options.
Outlook, Cortana, OneDrive: it's Windows
Obviously it is not enough to transform the graphics of the phone's interface to enter Windows and it is thanks to the other applications that complete integration is obtained.
Using the same account with which you access Windows 10, you can use the Android smartphone as an extension of the PC through apps such as OneDrive, OneNote, Microsoft Outlook on Android and also the Cortana voice assistant (which from Italy we are obliged to download from APKMirror) in addition of course to all Office programs and other applications of the Microsoft galaxy such as Skype and Linkedin.
Do not forget the Microsoft Edge browser for Android, which allows you to surf the internet on your phone, picking up where you left off on your Windows 10 PC.
This new strategy shows how Microsoft would no longer actually need to sell a Windows-based mobile device, because thanks to the flexibility of Android and its popularity, it can bring many more users to use its services than with any Windows Phone.
For those who want to get out of the Google world and especially for those who want a continuous experience between PC and smartphone a bit like with iPhone and Mac, then moving to the Microsoft apps could really give satisfaction.
