No, the hardware was Qualcomm reference platform, which you could find in some Androids too. On Android it just wasn't subsidized the same way as it was on WP side.

Maybe not all hardware, but the camera and lenses in the Lumia range trounced any competitors upon their release, and the screens too as I recall.

Windows Phone 8/8.1 was amazing. W10M has lost the lustre that 8 had.
