Android vs iOS which is better and why? Today AndroidZone analyze and will miss some light on this eternal discussion and give you 10 reasons why we think Android is superior to Apple's iPhone.
The big discussion provided many mobile users ask is: Android or iPhone? Which is better? As a good fan of Android that I am, although reconzco the quality of Apple devices and excellent performance of the iPhone, I think Android is better than iOS. Again, I think iOS has a lot of really good things and a sensational performance, but Google's platform seems superior in several respects which I will detail below.
Although Apple adopted the Android notification system for iOS and tried to match its convenient wireless synchronization, there is still a clear difference between the two.
Today AndroidZone analyze 10 major reasons why Android is better than iOS.
Multiple devices
Something that characterizes Android is the variety of devices in which it is available. In Android there's something everybody. The wide range of Android smartphones manufacturers like Samsung, HTC, Sony, Motorola, LG, Huawei, ZTE and others is simply amazing: find compact phone, others with physical keyboard, others with huge touchscreens, smartphones high-end super powerful to others with dual screen. The list of possibilities is endless in both mobile and tablets.
Attract a wide range of manufacturers and give them license to release your imagination and make changes has led to the widest variety of devices that can be found on any platform, including blurring the line between smartphone and tablet with the new generation of devices of 5 inches or more.
This variety makes a big difference (and advantage in my opinion) with the iPhone and iPad that Apple provides. It's just that device without another variety of sizes, specifications or price.
multiple Rates
As I mentioned in the previous point, the absence variety of devices, there is no variety in prices. A wide range of devices with different designs and technical specifications offers possibilities for all budgets.
The exclusive nature of Apple products is in stark contrast to the inclusive nature of Android. Virtually everyone has access to an Android device regardless of your economic status, chances are you can access a Android device: you can buy low-end devices at affordable prices, but if you want to enjoy the latest technology available can you. But not so with Apple products: iPhone and iPad are too expensive for many teams and this is a great advantage for Android.
Affordability has been a key to world domination Android factor. Apple knows this and has therefore begun work on a lower priced iPhone to try to venture into more price sensitive emerging markets.
Personalization
Another major strengths of Android has always been its level of customization. While Apple wants to keep the default application control and homogeneous software and hardware experience, Android, however, is an open source platform that lets you choose your own level of customization. You can customize simple things like wallpaper but you also have options to modify the keyboard, change the launcher, choose topics and to install cooked ROMs, iOS many things that are impossible to do.
Some iPhone users say they are not interested in this kind of possibilities because they are satisfied with the appearance and aesthetics of your device, but I think having the ability to change virtually anything we want is a great advantage for Android.
Live wallpapers
While I am not a big fan of this sort of thing, I know there are many who do. Lof animated backgrounds, they can also be interactive, enriching the user experience on our smartphone. There is a wide range of styles and varieties to choose from that allow users to add greater personality to your device.
Why Android is better than iOS?
If you like live wallpapers and you've never tried one, I suggest you at least try it, you will be surprised how many options you have Android users. And not only serve to modify the aesthetics of the device, there are many who can also provide useful information such as weather, or fun games.
Android widgets have long been a major advantage over iOS and static rows of icons. Microsoft saw this advantage and developed his system Live Tiles for the new Windows Phone, but still do not see something similar to the iPhone.
Widgets are a great advantage of Android over iOS because they allow us to see all the information they want quickly without opening the application. It is a small little programs that we provide quick and easy access to the functions most frequently used and useful information without running the app. Widgets interact with and provide Internet services of all kinds inforción: no clock widgets, calculator, calendars, games, weather, notes and everything you can imagine.
Launchers
If you like to have more control over aesthetics and style of your Android smartphone or tablet1, then surely have some custom launcher installed on your device. There are hundreds of launchers to choose which allow change absolutely everything: the design of the home screen, page transitions, effects and even gestures. Moreover, most of them include topics, different types of widgets, wallpapers and more....
Cooked ROMs
This is one of the great features of Android, the possibility of replacing the ROM that comes standard with a custom ROM device. This essentially means installing a new operating system which may sound complex but actually is not. Many Android users who modify their ROMs for your company or manufacturer is slow to upgrade to the latest version of Android, to improve performance, to get access to some add-ons or tools to remove all the bloatware among other reasons .
Since the ROM is fundamental to your device, you should take the time and analyze the alternatives carefully before deciding that firmware installed. Also the good thing is that there are usually several forums and tutorials that you can follow and thus get huge profits with a new ROM.
Integration with Google services and products
Android integration with other Google services is one of the main reasons why Android trumps Apple and iOS. Android devices integrate seamlessly with todala many Google services.
With the rise of smartphones in recent years, users are increasingly using their mobile devices to connect to the Internet and Google is the king of the web in this regard and offers plenty of services: Google Docs, Gmail, Google Drive , Google Maps, Google Music, Google Chrome, Google+ and some others. While Apple and iOS offer some services, by no means reached the variety and integration that gives Google. The latest Maps application that Apple launched iOS 6 is an example.
It is hard to imagine without the Google iOS apps, but even if they remain present as options beyond the default applications featuring the Apple platform, there is no escaping the fact that the best experience of Google is in Android.
Google Now
Now Google is one tool that stands out of all Google services and while the excellent voice search (which outperforms Siri) was also taken to the Google application on iOS, elements of Google Now only can be enjoyed on Android.
If we look at the technology to give us the information we need at the moment in which we need (and even before because the app learns our needs and interests and anticipates our requests), predictive and preventive nature of Google Now is truly revolutionary .
Google Now makes better use of mobile technology than any other application that improves and as could well become a key application in Android as Google Maps or Gmail.
More free applications and games
It can be a double-edged sword, but you can not deny the fact that there are more free applications and games on Android than iOS. This has to do with the nature of both platforms: Apple offers more exclusive high-priced products, while Android is characterized by its popularity and try to reach as many people as possible.
An example of this is that sometimes behave in iOS are paid and become free in Android. Unfortunately, this may be due in part to concerns against piracy. We must also recognize that the ability of developers to make more profit in iOS stands for highest quality premium games and applications that are launched on iOS before Android. Similarly, if the dominance of Android is maintained, this should change, though this is, and remains, one of the biggest challenges Google platform.
Speed improvement
Bugs, lag, ugly interface, lack of applications ... Android weaknesses have been systematically addressed and resolved by a particular development team.
The Android platform has greatly improved compared to the first version and continues to evolve faster than the competition. The large user base and the wide range of Android devices manufacturers producing improvements can only lead to greater heights. In addition ,. As an open source operating system, developers have the posibilida d "play" and experiment with the code and create custom ROMs, make tweaks and allow the platform to improve further.
And that's a big difference from Apple. While iOS is stagnant, paralyzed by the "if it is not broke, do not fix it" school of thought Android continues to innovate and improve at a faster rate.
These are our reasons why Android is better than iOS. However, we want to know what your Claremont View. What do you prefer: Android or iPhone and why? Why do you think one is better than another? Leave me your thoughts in the comments below!
