Android vs iOs a true comparison

Despite the fact that more than half of the world’s population supports Apple, a significant number of people remain loyal to their Android phones. They still claim to prove that Android is a better platform than iOS in many ways. In our previous article, we already discussed with you the reasons why you can consider Android over iOS due to its bonus points in some areas. However, the main goal of today’s article is to make a thorough comparison between the two platforms in order to determine whether the platform truly attains complete consumer satisfaction.

So without further ado let us look at this detail comparison of both of the platforms.

Hardware

There is a big gap between iPhone and Android in terms of hardware. Because Apple creates iPhones, it has complete control over how the software and hardware interface. Google, on the other hand, makes its Android software available to all handset manufacturers, including Samsung, HTC, LG, Sony, Motorola, and others. One of the primary reasons for the vast range of sizes, weights, features, and quality of Android phones is this reason. This is why the higher-priced Android phones are more likely to be of good quality and reliable, but lower-cost versions are more likely to overheat, freeze, or break. If you want to buy an iPhone, however, you only need to choose a model. But for Android, you must choose both a brand and a model, which may be complicated and overwhelming.

 Security

If you’re concerned about your smartphone’s security, there’s just one option and that is buying an iPhone. Despite the fact that Android has worked hard over the years to develop security features for its users, iPhone is still regarded as superior. According to several studies, the majority of malware target Android devices rather than iPhones.

Battery life and charging

Most models of iPhone can last for two days without a charge if handled by a moderate user. But when it comes to Android, due to the variety of choices you can buy whatever phone you like with different battery capacities. Some Android phones like Samsung have been featuring 7000mAh batteries latest which is huge! But when it comes to low-budget phones, the battery life is not good. So it is better to say that Android phones that are expensive and designed by a renowned brand can offer a long-lasting battery as well as fast charging which will be better than iOS. This means on a single charge, Android smartphones can last far longer than iPhones. Some Samsung and Motorola phones do not require an often charge like iPhone.

Ease of use

People are fond of saying that Apple products “simply work.” The iOS UI is unquestionably user-friendly. However, the Android user interface also easy to use. To be honest, if you can use one, you’ll have no problem with the other. Both Android and iOS are updated on a regular basis with new features that improve productivity and accessibility.

Cameras

As we said earlier some Android phones have been in a spotlight due to their extraordinary features that even beats the iPhone. Phones like Samsung Galaxy s20 ultra is a bit hit in terms of camera. But again, if we look for the phones in lower prices you will surely see there cameras are not as competitive as the iPhone ones. According to vast comparisons, the iPhones are a bit better at most things in camera feature but the Galaxy models, with their wider-angle lens, are a tad better at selfies.

Availability of Apps

With over  2.8 million apps on the Google play store and 2.2 million on the Apple App Store, you will not get short of apps in your store. People argue that there are more apps or better apps on the platform than others. Although it is true that some bigger apps or games are first introduced in iOS platforms and later Android but there are a huge number of apps that are also firstly introduced in the Play store and later in the App store. But iOS does have a slight edge when it comes to updates in the App store. iOS receive more frequent updates than Android.

Digital assistants

Both the iPhone and Android phones feature Siri, and while they both accomplish the same function, their capabilities differ in some ways. Google isn’t truly a virtual assistant with whom you can communicate, but Siri makes an attempt. Both may be used to set alarms, reminders, obtain directions, check movie times, and utilize dictation to send text messages and emails. Siri, on the other hand, is better at understanding the job at hand and is less likely to provide online search results.

Cloud integration

As compared to iCloud, Google apps are easier to use and quicker to access. You can get all the latest news and updates in Google which are not very timely on iCloud. Google Photos offers unrestricted storage and a simple picture editor. Indeed, the iCloud Photo Library is useful, but iCloud access across devices remains a challenge.

Peripherals

When connecting the phone with other gears, Android has the advantage. Because all Android smartphones have standard USB ports, you can connect a wide range of devices to your phone. But you’ll need something that connects to the iPhone’s unique Lightning connector. Another advantage of Android is that USB cables and gadgets are less expensive than their Lightning port version.

Timely updates

No doubt iOS gets more timely updates than Android. The most significant benefit iOS has over Android is speedy software upgrades for five or six years; even the finest Android phones only get a couple of years of updates, and only a handful of those updates arrive promptly.

Best for your budget

Android phones are cheaper than iOS. You can buy Android phones in different prices from lowest to highest. So if you are looking for a cheaper phones in limited budget then Android is on the go.

Design

Apple has some of the best-designed phones in the market but to give it tough competition Samsung, Oneplus and Google have introduced their stylish phones in the market that are not only appealing to eyes but also have amazing features.

Customisation

In a variety of ways, Android is considerably more customizable than iOS. While iOS, of course, enables you to change your wallpapers and ringtones which is new to the iOS platform as you were not able to change backgrounds on the first iPhones, Android just allows you to do so much more.

Expandable storage

Unlike Android phones, the iPhones does not have expandable storage so if your full storage is full you have no other choice than to remove some of your data. But for Android you can simply get an SD card to expand your phone’s storage capacity.

These are the 14 major differences between both platforms which you need to keep in mind before making a choice between them. iPhone is no doubt the best phone in terms of hardware, camera, and design but Android phones never stay at the back and always give a tough time to iOS devices. If you are looking for a budget-friendly phone then Android is the right choice for you.

Other than Android and iOS phones, windows phones have emerged in the current year at different prices and are designed by different brands. You can also consider Windows phones which are relatively cheaper and have good specs.
