Yes, absolutely. We've created a list of reasons why Microsoft Lumias are worth considering as your business mobile phone:
- 'Continuum' – Whenever you connect a monitor to your Microsoft Lumia, the dock will allow you to have a desktop-like Windows 10 display similar to what you would see on a laptop or PC. This basically means business mobile users will be carrying their desktop computer in their pocket – you can even connect a mouse and keyboard for ultimate productivity. All work completed on this combined display will be saved on Microsoft's OneDrive cloud system, meaning you won't need to worry about copying or managing files.
- USB-C – Now you're probably thinking what on earth is that? Well, to be perfectly frank, this hasn't quite hit the big-time. Yet. USB-C allows users to connect additional accessories like a mouse and keyboard directly to the smartphone, simply replicating the USB on-the-go system found on many popular Android handsets.
- Universal appeal – When the 'live tiles' were launched on Windows phones back in 2010, the design received high praise but never really took hold of consumers like Apple's iOS due to a lack of apps. To entice developers and grow its user base, Windows 10 now comes as standard – meaning any apps will be available to users on desktop, laptop, tablet, mobile and even Xbox.
- Fast charging handsets – The speed at which mobiles charge is becoming more and more important to consumers. Microsoft claims that its Lumia 950 and 950 XL can recharge 50% of its battery life in just 30 minutes – only beaten by Samsung's Android-powered Galaxy S6 which can offer four hours of use from just 10 minutes of charge time.
- Security – There is nothing more important on a business mobile. Smartphones are more susceptible to loss or theft than any other type of device, making it even more important to protect your data. Microsoft are entering the biometric security world, but instead of using fingerprint technology, they are using the eye – an iris scanner will recognise its user and allow them to log in, and it works in a similar way to facial recognition technology.
If you're looking for a business smartphone that has a large app catalogue and a wide range of additional hardware, then you may need to look elsewhere. That said, the Lumia series from Microsoft offers unrivalled productivity and economic use.
