Advantage Android Has Over iOS: Reasoning Why You Should Android Over iOS

Earlier this week I was going through my Android smartphone, and right beside me was my friend an iPhone user. So we decide to engage ourselves in some ‘Which Is Best‘ kind of challenge. So i try to point out the Advantage Android Has Over iOS to him. We both point out valid point why Android is better and why iPhone is better.

As someone who has at a time used phones from both sides of the fence, though, I thought it’d be fun to see if I could put down the Advantage Android Has Over iOS and what makes Android the better OS.

So if you’re an Android user like myself then consider yourself lucky because I’m about to outline some amazing advantage Android has over iOS and feature that makes Android lead in the smartphone market.

Device Running Android is Everywhere

There is something for everyone on the Android platform. The sheer variety of Android smartphones from manufacturers like Samsung, Huawi, Tecno, Infinix, Meizu, and others is amazing. You can get a very solid phone, something with a huge touchscreen, a stylus, a rotating camera, an edge screen. Niche demand like dual SIM are catered for, and the flagship device are on the cutting edge when it comes to specs. There’s also other privilege you just can’t get on Apple iPhone device. Android apps can be downloaded from Google, Amazon, and other Android app stores that which you can’t get with iPhone.

Having Full Control

Yes, full control of your device. Your Android device can be rooted which have both its benefit and the risk side.

But even without rooting your Android device, you still have a whole lot to enjoy with Android. Android smartphone owners enjoy the fact that Android uses non-exclusive software format on like the iOS.

It’s the First to Get Hardware Upgrade

Apple start making their iPhone water resistance with the iPhone 7 and it’s adopt a more vivid OLED display with the newly released iPhone 8 and iPhone X. With the recent upgrade in iPhone hardware, it still doesn’t support microSD cards iPhone users don’t enjoy that privilege to expand their phone memory space.

Android phones have had all of these things, and more, for years. Wireless charging, faster charging, removable batteries, dual-SIM support, dual cameras — all of it is available, and usually available first, outside of Apple’s walls.

If there’s some niche feature you think would make your life easier, you’re much more likely to find it on Android.

Price That Fit Your Pocket

A wide variety of devices with different designs and specifications means that Android has something for you at just your budget. The exclusive nature of Apple’s iOS is in plain contrast to the inclusive nature of the Google Android. Almost anyone can afford an Android phone. It might not be super great, but there is solid budget option in the market that give people a true smartphone experience.

Affordability has been a key driver for Android dominance worldwide and it will continue to be. If you want premium devices that match and surpass the iPhone or iPad then you can find them, but if you want a budget device with amazing features, then Android is really your only choice.

Customizable

Android is an open source, most customizable mobile OS in the world, which is one of its big win. While Apple control iOS in order to maintain a homogenous software and hardware experience, Android lets you, the hardware manufacturer customize the device.

Widgets

Android’s widgets have long been a feather in its cap compare to the static row of icon you find in iOS. Widgets are still a major advantage for Android over the iOS. Simply put, you can see all of the information you want at a glance on your home screen without having to fire up an app.

Launchers

Grab an iPhone, sit next to another iOS user and compare your home screen. Oh wait, they look exactly the same! That’s not the story with Android.

If you are tired of the way your default launcher looks and want control over how your Android smartphone looks then you’ve to try out a custom launcher. You can choose from a wide variety of custom launcher app in Google Play and tweak everything from your home screen layout, to your page transitions, to effects and even gesture. There’s no risk involved with launcher apps and you can really open up a world of possibilities.
