There are many iPhones and Android smartphones on the market, which leads to confusion as to which one to choose. There have been many debates, discussions about whether Android or an iPhone is the better buy. I think an Android phone is better than an iPhone.
The following are the reasons why an Android phone is better than an iPhone:
1. Selection:
There are numerous Android phones out there and deciding on a specific Android phone depends on many factors like storage, operating system, camera quality, display, color, etc.
2. Personalization:
Android is the best option if you want a custom mobile. You can install a third party application if you don’t like the standard keyboard. Android phone allows you to customize your predictive text in messages, has cloud storage for all pictures, a health app, third party keyboards, swype text messaging, etc.
3.Hardware:
This is one of the main reasons for a clear discussion between Android and iPhone. Focusing on two current flagship phones of Android and iPhone, one can get a better clarification on the argument. What follows is the comparison;
Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Android)
4GB RAM
Screen size 5.5 inches
Screen resolution 2560X1440
Screen type AMOLED IPS
PIXEL DENSITY 534ppi
Size 150.9x 72.6x 7.7mm
Weight 5.54 ounces (157 g)
Wireless/fast chargingYes
3.5mm jack (auxiliary) Yes
5 megapixel front camera
Operating System Android 6.0 (Marshmallow)
2.3GHz octa-core Exynos 8890 processor
Apple iPhone7 Plus (iPhone)
3GB
5.5 inches
1920X1080
401ppi
158.2×77.9×7.3mm
6.63oz (192g)
Nope
7 megapixels
iOS10
Quad core 2.3 GHz
Apple A10 Fusion
Based on the above comparison, Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, released 6 months earlier than Apple iPhone 7 Plus, is of better quality when it comes to hardware.
4. The Google Play™ store:
Compared to the Apple app store, submitting an app to the Google app store is much more feasible as Apple goes through a tedious process of checking whether the submitted app follows their guidelines or not. This process can prevent malware associated with downloading an app. On the other hand, Apple denies your app entry into the app store if the chevron symbol has been misused, aiming to create a seamless app. However, submitting an app built for Android to the Google app store is much easier than it is on Apple, making it less stressful and easier to create an app.
5. Widgets and multitasking:
Widgets are a big advantage for Android compared to iOS as the implemented apps are limited in iOS as they can only be added in the notification center. In particular, Apple does not have widgets on the home page to sort, while all kinds of widgets like custom clock, weather, alarms, phone calls, email, messages, flashlight, etc., are favorites in Android and can be organize on the home screen according to the choice of each one. Multitasking on Android is very easy to use than on iPhone. Multitasking on Apple is a useful thing and hasn’t been implemented properly, whereas multitasking on Android has been useful for quite some time, making it a winner over Apple’s iPhones.
6. Expanded memory specification:
Many Android phones have expandable memory that an iPhone doesn’t. Instead, Apple would need additional investment to upgrade any of its 16GB phones to a 32GB or 64GB microSD card in an iPhone. With this in mind, Android is once again a winner.
7. Removable battery
Many of the Android phones have a removable battery that can be replaced with a generic battery of your choice. While that’s not the case when using Apple iPhones as an owner, you need to visit an Apple store. Some of the Android phones like LG G5 offer a separate battery for your use.
8. Durability:
Most Android phones are durable as they are made of tough plastic or polycarbonate than iPhones which are mostly made of aluminum.
Based on all the above comparisons, buying an Android phone is more advantageous than buying an iPhone. Finally, considering the market share, the market size of Android phones is larger than that of iPhones. So it’s better to have an Android phone than an iPhone.
