In addition you can change the tile size to suit your preferences, youhave complete privileges to customise the start screen how you like. To dothis, long press the tile and press the arrow that will appear in the bottomright-hand corner and the tile will shrink or expand depending on the directionyou press the arrow.

Finally, devices on this platformuse MTP, which basically means you can access the phone as an external hard driveand syncing has been made easier, one can sync playlists to WindowsMedia Player and even iTunes. However to achieve the latter and the only optionfor mac users you will need to subscribe to the desktop companion app. Lastly,you can enjoy OTA upgrades, which can be done manually or automatically.

For the kids

Many of the Phones enhancements areunique to attract new users, many of you know that kids love to take your phoneand use it, however, you are always unsure whether you will get it returned inthe same state.

It works bysetting up a list of things you don´t want your children to have assess to anda password associated with the feature… Sigh of relief!
