15 Reasons Android Phones Are Better Than The Iphone by TippyTop(m): 1:58am On Jan 28, 2015


1. When you buy an iPhone, you're stuck with as much storage as you decided to buy at the get-go. Most Android phones, however, have a microSD card slot, so you can easily and cheaply buy more storage space.


2. If your battery starts sucking, you can often remove it and replace it with a new one. Can't do that with an iPhone.

3. You can use a bunch of different Android phones (including the HTC One, LG G3, and the Galaxy S5) as remote controls, because they have infrared blasters on the top. iPhones do not.

4. Android files screenshots, downloaded pics, and pictures saved from messages into their own separate folders.


5. Android doesn't care where your music comes from. Apple and iOS 8, however, require iTunes if you want to
load your iPhone up with songs, and you need iPhoto if you ever want to get your photos onto your computer.


6. You can use any micro-USB cable to charge your Android phone. If you want to charge your iPhone, you need to have Apple's proprietary "Lightning" cable.


7. Google's app store lets you download apps to your phone directly from its website. If you search for an iPhone app in a browser, on the other hand, you have to launch iTunes or the App Store to download and install it.


8. You can set multiple user accounts on the same Android tablet.
Share your Android-running tablet with your family or co-workers? If so, you can set multiple user accounts on one device, limiting the information that each user can see. Can't do that on the iPad.

9. Apple's baked-in Maps apps isn't as good as Google's, but on an iPhone, you can't make Google Maps your default.


10. On an iPhone, you can unlock your phone with your fingerprint or a passcode. On most Android devices, you have several additional options, including patterns or face unlocks.


11. You can customize an Android phone much more than an iPhone, like by adding widgets on your home screen.


12. Android phones don't force you to keep all of your apps on one of your homescreens, like iPhones do.


13. On quite a few Android phones, you can open and see multiple apps at once.


14. When you have an Android phone, your notifications are always shown at the top of your screen, which makes easier to remember what you need to check and respond to.


15. This is a small one that I noticed after I switched from Android to iOS, but the baked-in Android alarm clock tells you how many hours of sleep you'll be getting. iPhones make you do the mental math.

Good tips.

I'd still say it is all about preferences. This doesn't stop people from using iOS. Apple is aware of the various restrictions on their platform and their customers are used to it. Anybody that want to use android if free to buy and enjoy his or her money. Either iOS or Android, People use what they want to use.

It's the season of "Lists" on Nairaland lately.

Nice try. Its ur choice to get any device u want not neccessarily until someone forces it down your throat like you android fanatics do all the time. Your os is the best. We have heard...

1. The last time i checked apple devices come in variants, 16 64, and 128gb which i know your darling droids dont have at the moment. You choose what u want.

2. Thats the beauty of ios. Hardly would u beef to do a reset unlike ur darling droids :p. This is because the hardware and software are beautifully integrated together and apps do not hold the os to ransom like u experience everyday (force close, wait etc.

3. So u need a new remote and you bought a phone, congrats.

4. Just because you dont have access to the file manager doesnt mean all files are dumped in the same folder in iphones. A simple jailbreak will convince you.

5.youre right about itunes. But to say you need iphoto to copy pictures out of iphone. Come on, say something else.

6. Any oem reserves the right to whatever hardware it wants for its products. Ure complaining of cable, tell tecno and others too to use snapdragon chipsets like others

7. Apples ios is engineered in a way that the appstore is the sole location for downloading apps. This makes cases of malware, vunerabilities and spywares and other nasty installations that the android ecosystem is notoriously famous for. For jailbroken devices, the cydia appstore also serves as a secondary base of apps to download too. Be illuminated.

8. Guest mode accounts werent a feature of android up till lollipop which im sure u dont have on your device. However be rest assured that its not so far away from ios. By the way have u heard of family sharing.. Google is ur buddy.

9. Who the hell needs google map when there is sygic map there that works seamlessly with realtime locations, thousands of poi and the best feature, u can use it OFFLINE.
10. Apple cares much about security and pattern lock is on the lowest level in security terms yet u say android is better because of that. Hell if youre using an exchange mail account on ur crapdroid, u can NEVER set a pattern lock as ur phone password. Reason? Read the above.

11. Widgets? Ever heard of ios 8?

12. Tell me where else to keep apps beside the home screen. And before u mention folders, ios users have been enjoying that long since before it debuted on android kitkat.
13. Well u may have a point.

14. Thank God u said a few phones. Out of those phone users, how many actually use d feature. I had a galaxy mega for close to two years and i could count on one hand how many times i used that feature. NEXT

15. Point well noted. Rather than set that, ill ask my PA (Siri) to wake me up at five. Dasall

Believe me, ive seen it all. Rooting xposed cyanogen 7-12. Odin etc. theres no big deal in android. [/b]You deserve a lagfree os where ure readily assured of an os upgrade for at least three years on a steady note, where ur device has a higher resale value

Where d prices of devices dont drop like a steam pot
Where u have a beautifully designed os which integrates with the hardware to produce a seamless experience and regular updates which shields you away from the need to flash roms.
Where a 1gb ram dualcore device is more powerful than other octacore hexacore decarcore 3gb devices.
Where a 1900mAH battery would last u for 24 hours 3g usage

Splendid! Couldn't have come up with a better rebuttal myself.
I used to have the same opinion as the OP until I decided to try an iPhone and now, I hardly touch my Xperia Z2.

The fluidity of the OS is awe inspiring and the seamless integration of the hardware and software dumbfounding. Hardware optimization is excellent. Else how can you explain why an iPhone 6+ with just 8MP rear camera having far better picture quality than Sony Xperia Z2 of 20MP?

Each OS has its selling point, stick to what works for you. I still respect Android OS for it's flexibility but an iPhone is an engineering marvel, don't criticize blindly.

When it comes to being lagfree. The ios is better. When it comes to firmware updates for devices, the ios is better. (Iphone 4s released in 2011 has ios 8 released in 2014) apple wont tell u to get a new phone to enjoy the new os features like android does.
The initial purpose of flashing custom roms was to imput new features ported from the latest rom build and even with that, it is not 100% perfect as some features wont work. I used cm 10-cm12 so i believe i know what im saying.
When it comes to being secure, the ios is better, you will never hear of a malware, virus loaded on an iphone.

The appstore is better than playstore ( YES I SAID IT). Every app that goes in the appstore is being verified by an apple employee, unlike playstore where a mumu developer will post a crappy app that may or may not work.
Even the appstore has better exclusive apps than playstore.

Shall i mention piracy is rampant on android ecosysystem too. An app developer releases a new app. In weeks wack developers copy the game plan, codes and re engineer them and release too.
Temple run snowden run etc.

Youre less supscetible to an attack on ios than on an android.

The proud mentality that android is better seems like a farce. Thats why we see threads posting iphone killers, beasts etc because they run android they think theyre better.

I would rather stick to a phone where its 1.2 mega pixel is sharper than a 20.7mp android camera. Its dual core is faster than an octacore android device.

Customization: jailbreak and see the future.
When you have an os that gives it all, there is no need to use custom roms

custom roms is their not because the android doesn't give it all but because when we are bored of the all, we flash a new custom rom and start all over again... android users are never bored. and you should get yourself a great Android phone and not these chinese crap. android keeps winning the best phone award. lol and i bet you haven't even seen or used lollipop, lol. that is the update that sent ios home. the lollipop is lag free , crash free, and super fast. i am using sense 6 lollipop on my htc one m8 and God, talk about smooth Nd fast, if you want a video demo, i can make for you to see.. lol. android gives me all. anyone who gets an android is less bothered about security, because android is all about fun, tweaks customization, one can simply do anything with droid. appstore better than playstore? haha i laugh. android is just so great. their is a reason why android was the os chosen to be shot outerspace so as to monitor if their are lives out. Google all this before posting please. anything that would ever make me use an iphone again is if android cease to exists. android the ecosystem of all ages. best phone in the whole world 2014 was htc one m8, 2014 was htc one m7, 2012, was samsung galaxy s3, 2011 was samsung galaxy s2. all android phones lol. android just rules.

Love the way this is going, everything is been highlighted with reasons to support ur argument. Left for me, my point is

1. When it's comes to security "for now" Apple is king

2. Lets look @ spec i.e larger screen, Android rocks most users re dropping their 3" for 5". Look @ Android tabs it comes in 7" like innjoo T1 which fits into my pocket, still way portable than ipad.

3. Apps & OS, oh Apple watch ur back cos android is closing the cap. Give Android time.

4. If It's was only iphones that we have as smart fone around majority of fones will still be pure java OS & symbain OS without knowing things can get far better ( oh nokia i miss u but i got to move on) cos pinging & cheap data back then was d only selling point of Late "King Blackberry". Mind u there are low budget Android fone that are still worth using. Affordable is d word here.

5. Update: if u need it without the stress (if u call it so) of custom roms go for high end devices like S series, HTC one Or Nexus.

6. Both platforms are great as they keep up with technology and user preferences.

7. IT'S ALL ABOUT YOU. If android suits ur needs and lifestyle go for it. If it's iphone go for it.

But i hope u heard that dear iphone 6 trounced ur darling htc one m8 in a speed test even s5 too. With all the 3gb ram on note 4, its not as fluid as iphone 6 in multitasking. That was for the kitkat build, since u say ure on 5.0 i may have to see that too. iCant deny the lollipop is a nice fluid. Ive used it and i know. We can trade demos too. When i talk about androids i never do a mistake of mentioning the numerous chinese crapdroids that exist in ur ecosystem.
What else would u expect from probably google sponsored project? A blackberry?

Wait!!! Who compares Android to iOS?

ahnahn, check this thing now!!!

An Android Phone is a SMARTPHONE!
An iOS Device is a PHONE!

-Your Device with 128gb develops a power fault and all your files are gone with it! #DontYouThink?
-Android Devices with Remote is there when #whatever happens to your Home Appliances Remote #DontYouThink?
Imagine a scenario when an android user visits his old uncle, they need to watch the TV but little step-son has accidentally broken the appliance while he was playing... Smartguy reaches his SMARTPHONE, opens the Remote app, changes the channel. The uncle looks at him and smile!!! smiley

-So i have to scroll throught thousands of Photos to actually find a particular picture i downloaded on the internet, theres a dedicated folder for that on my Droid... wink
(Whatsapp was using that stupid system when you need to share pictures in a chat convo.. I cant count how many times i mailed them and told them how stup1d it was... I learnt they fixed it in an Update)

iphone bested the htc one m8 hahaha. i cant just stop laughing.. ios simply has nothing, hence the speed. lets look at nokias of the old days, they ran on 2mb rams and co, very less hardware and yet they didnt lag, they wete okay then. its all os dude. imagine if all the smartphone power stuffs was given to those old nokia with low hardwares, they would blow up, same goes for ios, the os has nothing, hence the speed, what else can one do with an ios device if not tweet, browse, take a bunch of camera and just use it. no rewritable option, why wont the speed test with 1gb ram be good.. lol.. let an iphone try true multitasking , let an iphone run previously opened cache and still retain info. get an iphone and android, open youtube both on them then minimize them, keep the phones for 10 minutes , then open the minimized apps, the iphone would collapse them and give up, while the android still retains them. jailbreak an iphone and see how it gradually lags.. iphone is simply not made for devs nor power house, it is mearnt for those, what is on my phone users, they take what they get, no modification whatsoever, dude iphone is boring and you are talking to a former iphone 5 user here . android is for geeks, despite being a power house with all it can do, it is still on par with your loving iphone 6 speed. and the ui is as fluid as love. oh lovely lollipop.art runtime based on 64 bit arciteture is just the boss. i dare an iphone to do what an android does and wven reach up to a 512 mb rlandroid.. i dare to see a fluid jailbroken iphone. i jailbroke mine and the lag was just there. android remains the boss . lets also watch out for best phone 2015, i bet it is still gonna be an ANDROID.

U and i may never meet at the same middle ground. Ur android works for u. Fine my iphone does too. Ure an old iphone user switching to android. The reverse is the case here. From bb to lg to samsung then finally iphone. Mind you i had d galaxy mega for close to two years too. So all those tweaking, deodexing etc is not new to me too. You say a 512mb android is better at multi tasking than iphone. Come on, you can do better than that.
Me thinks ure argument here is based on lolipop right?

The population of android devices is less than 5% so im speaking in generality,

My iphone 6 here is not boring and doesnt lag even after jailbreaking. I constantly tweak it erryday thanks to cydia. Lots of devs here too. So i disagree when u say its for non geeks. D only difference is because android comes on linux based environment and for d ios u need to go an extra step.

Let me leave u with this. Enjoy watching

you can also enjoy this, yes i say its for non geeks, And i never said an android with 512mb is faster than an iphone, i said a jailbroken iphone lags, it doesn't start instantly but gradually starts loosing its fluidity, because it tried to alter with the system partition iphone isnt made for customization or geeky stuff, it just cant handle it. hence the statement a jailbroken iphone is only as fluid as a 512mb ram android. you can also watch this.

First you said its for non geeks. I say i just want something different. I have a friend too who wont trade his q10 for anything based on multi tasking. We can not all be in the same boat can we? PREFERENCE MATTERS.
Well i watched that video too.. Nothing new to see. Remember i said my last phone was running 5.0. Was expecting more techy stuff from the video guy. Only comparing keyboards, browsers etc. I hope he knows there's also chrome browser on ios and even with that i prefer opera browser to both of them because it loads faster with the same page.

Ive not noticed any lag in my jailbroken iphone 6. The way android users are so quick to say their phone is fluid doesnt hang makes me wonder what android i encounter daily on the job from all high end to the barest low end one.I was an android user for three years besides.

What is the percentage of android users into customization (custom roms busy box etc). Im a member of xda devs too by the way.

I choose to get an iphone, works for me, tweaking is allowed and it gets the job done.

Lolipop was the best thing to happen to android but only three percent of android users enjoy that at the moment.

If not for these properties which I want to sell this weekend, I wouldn't have commented.

In any case, there are only two cars- mercedes and the rest. Only two phones, iphone and the rest.

Pls check my sig.
