Windows Phone features a user interface based on Microsoft's "Metro" design language, and
was inspired by the user interface in the Zune HD. The home screen, called the "Start screen",
is made up of "Live Tiles", which have been the inspiration for the Windows 8 live tiles. Tiles are
links to applications, features, functions and individual items (such as contacts, web pages,
applications or media items). Users can add, rearrange, or remove tiles.Tiles are dynamic and
update in real time – for example, the tile for an email account would display the number of
unread messages or a tile could display a live update of the weather. Since Windows Phone 8,
live tiles can also be resized to either a small, medium, or large appearance.

Internet Explorer on Windows Phone allows the user to maintain a list of favorite
web pages and tiles linking to web pages on the Start screen. The browser

touch gestures, smooth zoom in/out animations, the ability to save pictures that
are on web pages, share web pages via email, and support for inline search

Android devices which have lots of features.
