When compared to Google’s Android and Apple iphone, Window phone was not a match for the features. Though the android gained all the attention and surpassed the iphone devices it was high time for the window phone to come up with something unique to catch up with the growing trends in the mobile space. Mango, as the iphone 7.5 is coded as promised by the PC gaint CEO of having 500 unique features is a sure factor for curiosity and the buzz will be around soon. All I can see is to wait and watch to know if the Microsoft’s Mango is sweet or sour!
