We all know that Windows 10 Mobile isn't really getting new features anymore, as it spirals towards end of life.

There's been quite a lot of bug fixes and polish at least, and even the inclusion of updated emojis. Yay. The future of Windows 10 on phones appears to rest with Windows 10 on ARM and CShell, and what ever form that takes, it should prove a more unified experience between PC and "mobile phone" devices. I've been using Android on and off for a few weeks now. Despite having more apps, and more features, I still find myself coming back to Windows 10 Mobile, time and time again, currently using a HP Elite x3 as a daily driver. Honestly, I don't think the grass is greener on the other side, unless you have a particular need for Pokemon Go or Snapchat. Still, there are some things that Android does better than Windows 10 Mobile and Windows 10. Here are five features I'd love to see make the leap across the OS gap.

1. The ability to close all open apps instantly

Android's equivalent of Windows' Task View is incredibly useful for navigating to minimized apps, and managing closing different apps. Windows 10 Mobile and Windows 10 have this too, either by holding the back button on a phone, or by pressing the Windows key and tab. The two solutions are very similar, with one key difference. On BlackBerry's KEYone version of Android, and several others, there's a button to close all apps right now. If you're an app junkie like me, switching between Reddit, Twitter, chat apps, browser, and more, being able to close everything instantly is useful. It's not really necessary, since an app running in the background on Android is "tombstoned" and uses minimal power, but it's just a nice option to have.

2. Developer option to switch off animations

One of the things that was bugging me about Android was the bouncy, almost cartoony animations across the OS. That's a little subjective, but I wanted to see if I could adjust them at all, given how customizable Android seems to be in general. It turns out that you can, using Android's developer options. Not only does this make Android a little more bearable to use, it makes switching between apps and multi-tasking a lot faster. You can also disable animations in Windows 10 for PCs, so why not Windows 10 Mobile? In a world where Microsoft was continuing development, this would be a nice feature.

3. System-level icon customization

One of the most annoying things about Windows 10 is the fact that developers have control over tiles, rather than users. This leads to a mess of transparent tiles and non-transparent tiles, which can be difficult to rectify. There are a few work-arounds, both on PC and phones, but they're a little clunky. Android allows users to install third-party home screen launchers, which often come with icon packs that change every icon across the home screen layout. Tiles are far more complicated than Android's icons, particularly if they're set to live, but it would be nice if Microsoft gave users control over how the initial icon tiles looked at a system level, similarly to how Android does.

4. Mobile split view
