My Android phone has never crashed as far as I know in the two years I have had it.

My Windows desktop crashes at last once a month.

Why is the Android phone more stable than the Windows desktop?

Answer 1

There are several reasons for this. First off the complexity of windows is a lot higher than android, there are millions of lines of code and as every programmer does some mistakes sometimes crashes are more likely to occur.

The second reason is probably that windows is highly customizeable, almost everyone is using third party programs that interact with windows, changing your settings and also making the system unstable (especially if installing drivers).

If you set up a clean patched version of Windows and don't install any programs that harm the system stability it will also not crash.
