Nothing in the Universe is perfect, noting like
MR Perfect, that is why i posted this article. Do you know many people love android at the same time so many people don't even think
about Android because of its major Disadvantages. Today I am going to
share with you some of the most
annoying Disadvantages of Android.


"I love Android" this is the slogan for many android users. But the other party says, Android is crap, Read the whole article to know why Android Sucks

1. Hangs a lot
Android is good at lagging and
continuously hanging your phone,
whatever you do it annoys a lot.
Whether you are playing games or you are browsing your gallery
or you are surfing internet, its hangs a lot.

2. Drain battery
Another disadvantages of Android is its drain battery very fast. You play games for 5 minutes and your battery meter drop from 98 to 82. This is how android sucks and eat up your battery as soon as you touch your phone.

3. It drains data
No other os uses data like android devices, just to open a few apps and browse a few pages, data count would already had exceeded your budget.

4. Over heats
This is serious problem for me, Android heats cell phone often. However if you have a good cover on your cellphone you may feel less heat, but if without cover just put your cellphone on your cheek you will find what I mean.

5. Box of Malware Google play store
I agree that Google play has some nice applications sorry many nice
applications but somehow spammers, hackers are ahead of putting malware in
Google play store. If you download 10 Applications a day, 6 will be substandard or malware, so be careful.

These are some of the Drawbacks of Android. this article is helps you to find more about Android and not discriminate it. Thanks.

First of all the name of the website you referenced is nonsense cos you idly setup a dumb page just to propagate your ignorance.

1. Android doesn't hang Please. Get an android phone of 3gb ram and tell me how the hell that would hang. In as much as there are substandard android phones everywhere that doesn't make the android OS a processor. Get your facts right!

2. Android utilizes battery power just as every other device does. Last time I checked blackberry has the worst battery. Try playing these heavy android hd games in blackberry and come back and praise android.

3. Drains data... funny But for your info IOS drains data more than android. Moreover phones like android, IOS and WP process better quality images thus the data usage. If you need poor graphic Please stick with your java or whatever.

4. I've been using android for good three years and your fallacy on Google play store is enough reason to conclude you are a outdated blackberry user.

Please get your facts right or better still buy a good android phone and make deductions from that.

Lastly give your webpage a befitting name. It sucks!

n01 fact is, ive used the phone you're currently using. n02 fact is, uve not used other platforms except from Android. You always think fish is the best until you taste chicken. n03 fact is it is pointless arguing with you cos you will never keep an open mind and face fact.
Lemme make this straight

I belive u use a high end phone
1. U want to tell me there is no time you made a selection in ur pjone and it tooks seconds before it responded? The more files and apps u have, the more seconds till ur phone begins to freeze

2. Its not my idea. Its fact. If you play the same game on iPhone on android. If iphone goes down by 5%, android would go down by 15%.

3. I onced used just 40 mb on an ipad, mtn 3G for 2 days. We all know thats impossible on android, and someone above said its because android offers better browsers abi internet experience? Now is there such thing as that? No. That is to show the level of ignorance im dealing with here. You tell me which browser on android is better than safari on ios? I dont come on nairaland to say what I like, ive never said what I like. I say what I experience.

4. Ever f.uking android phone ive held over heat after few minutes of use, it takes hours for an iphone to over heat.

5. Haba. To be a programer for apple and have your on the app store, you will have to pay a fee of $99. But android is completely free. Now with common sense which would have more crap in it store?
1.Why will your Android phone not hang when you're using a cheap Chinese 99 dollars smartphone,if you want to objective in your assessment of Android compare to IOS, wouldn't it be more sincere to compare the IPhone to one of the same price range like a Nexus 6 or a Motorola Turbo Maxx for instance
2.On the issue of battery life,unlike your Mumbo Jumbo battery test,objective battery test from reputable sites like Gsmarena and Phonearena has Android phones like Huawei Ascend mate 2,Note 4 and Xperia Z3 compact leaving the IPhone 6 battery life trailing,as do most Android Flagships .
3.On the issue of data consumption,Android products,unlike Apple products are true multitasking Beasts not like the IPhone which are glorified Feature phones unable to handle multiple applications running simultaneously in the background..yes,there's no Apple magic to it.
4.So every Fvcking Android phone you have used heats up?i guess you have not used enough Android,I currently use the Motorola Moto G,it costs like a third of the price of an IPhone and handles anything you throw at it,without breaking a sweat.
5.Apple charging App developers 99 dollars have nothing to do with ensuring quality apps,rather it is one more evidence of their money grubbing nature of fleecing their customers at any given opportunity.. When you pay 1000 dollars for a 200 dollar product just because you bought into the hype of Apple,you struggle to convince yourself and others into the lie you've bought..
And the shi.t you posted about Play Store being full of Malware shows how clueless you're about Android,give me a link anywhere that shows Apps downloaded from Play Store directly is Malware infested,you seem too myopic to differentiate between 3rd party unauthorised stores and the Play Store..

When would these kids stop posting rubbish on Nairaland. I have two android phones, the smallest is the Galaxy Note 4 and it does not hang at all, in fact it is so fast I can run 3 applications at a time without rooting. My samsung galaxy Note 4 never heats up, even after using it for 24 hours straight, in fact if I put my phone on power savings mode I can use it for 3 days and still have 30% battery life. Finally do you know what I love most about Android? Flexibility: The ability to tweak my phone as I pleased, I'm able to root my phone, do clockspeed and turn it into a well oiled machine, I use my phone to control everything from my Samsung TV to My Car, so the next time you decide to post rubbish, take time and do proper research, you'll be amazed at just how powerful an Android phone can be......
I love your smartness. cool

Yall saying rubbish about iPhones not being customizable should please stfu ,, your unrooted android is as useless as an unjailbroken iphone ,, what rooting does to android is what jailbreaking does to ios and every aspect of ios is customizable up to icon size and colors and am not talking about installing launchers or any other rubbish you android fanboys install

I have used confirm high end android phones and presently I use an iphone and I can tell you categorically that iPhones beat androids hands down !!

Am not really gonna argue much about this but try to use an iphone with an android and i assure you , you won't wanna touch any android device with a 10 foot pole !!

i was just abt to mention this but u beat me to it. i use 2013 lumia 620 with 512mb ram. It worka really well with very minute almost negligible lag times. Then i picked up my gf's infinix with octa core processor and 2gb ram running on kit kat and when it lags more than or almost the same as my windows phone 8.1 lumia 620 im like WTF. This thing has times 4 my lumia 620 ram. It shouldnt lag at all. Same for my dad's galaxy S4. Now imagine how a 2gb lumia will be. It will simply be heaven. An android with 512mb running kit kat would lag so much it willl almost be unusable.
now let me answer u. most android users use custom launchers that consume high amount of ram especially 3d launchers. plus how many android users force close apps? they just swipe it away and it still runs in background. now imagine more than 20 games and 20 apps running in background. next time get ur facts straight before posting crap

If your data is draining, restrict background data,any phone over heats if pushed hard enough,and unless you are clueless,you should know that Play Store Apps are vetted and are Malware free,if you decide to download from 3rd party stores,which Google warns you against,you do so at your own risk..

Actually the OP is right.
1. Get a Windows phone of just 512MB ram and see if it hangs. So you need a phone of 2GB ram to prove that Android phones do not hang? Yes, Android Os is not a processor but Operating systems determine how well a piece of hardware can be utilized. Put WP and Android on the same phone and see which one makes better use of the hardware.


2. Maybe he's right, maybe he's wrong. Battery usage depends on background processes.

3. I'll disagree with him on this too. WP drains data faster than _shit. But I disagree with you on the fact that smartphones drain more data because they render images better. They drain more data because of background processes making use of internet, system sending feedbacks etc. and they usually have higher screen resolution than feature phones. Even if you have images off, they'd still drain more data because they have more pixels to render.

4. Actually he's right, there are more malware spreading apps on play store than on any other store. you can google the percentage of malware on app stores.

I don't agree with number 1. most android apps and games run in background even when u close them, u have to force close them to stop them. and since most android users hardly switch off their phones, u get about 20-30 apps running in background at every given time plus hd games

IOS drains battery i agree but WP hanging is a lie my lumia 630 with 512MB RAM handles Alsphat 8 of 998mb very well without hanging i was even worried dat d game will not work bcuz of d phone's RAM but i was suprised by how smooth d game played on my phone, BBM is just about 15mb on WP and i don't see how a 15mb app would hang on a phone dat can run an app of 1gb smoothly. The only problem is dat d BBM on WP is not yet stable. As for d battery drainning problem i think ur friend's battery might b faulty bcuz my battery last's me up to 6hrs on heavy usage.
even an android with 345mb or so ram will run asphalt 8 without lags tell me something new undecided
