Based on the earlier thread supporting the iPhone, I had to create a rebuttal thread so that people will know what they are signing up for when they decide to go down the rabbit hole of the Android OS.


For the purpose of this review, there would be a lot of references to iPhone 6 and Samsung galaxy S6.

1. You prefer the more intuitive and user-friendly, albeit less feature-rich platform/user interface combination
Despite the fact that the most recent iteration of TouchWiz is now more streamlined and intuitive than ever, iOS is still ahead of it in terms of overall performance. TouchWiz UI on the Galaxy S6 still feels "heavy" from time to time, and while it lags less than it did on Samsung's previous flagship offerings, we can't say that it is a better offering than iOS. On the contrary, the latter offers a more hassle-free experience all over the board. Of course, Android and TouchWiz in particular are the epitome of a feature-rich combination between a mobile platform and UI, but this might not be a definite plus for every consumer.

2. You don't want oily fingerprint smudges at the back of your phone

The Gorilla Glass 4-covered back of the Galaxy S6 looks strikingly good and provides a good grip, but wait until you handle the device for a while. Chances are that the rear of your shiny new Samsung flagship will be covered with oily smudges and greasy fingerprint marks. Of course, there's no way that can be remotely appealing. The iPhone 6 holds virtually no smudges thanks to its aluminium rear. The latter, however, is not as grippy as its Samsung rival.

3. You want a metal phone

Despite that the Galaxy S6 and the S6 edge are pretty much on par with the iPhone 6 in terms of exterior design, there might be some users that don't feel comfortable with the Gorilla Glass back of the Samsung flagships. As a refresher, Apple also made use of glass in two of its previous iPhone offerings, the iPhone 4 and the iPhone 4s.


4. You want a top-performing all-around device

Say what you want about Apple's iPhones, but you can't argue that they hardly ever exhibit major flaws or issues that turn customers off. Unlike certain Android flagships from the current and last year, which brought issues that we're quite hard to swallow, you can usually count on the iPhone's consistency and reliability. Yes, the iPhone 6 doesn't have an SpO2 sensor or a laser-assisted auto-focus, but it surely takes drool-worthy photos and has a predictable battery life.


5. You want timely OS updates

When a new major version of iOS gets released to the public, the majority of iOS users receive the update in a matter of hours - there's little waiting involved. On the other hand, no matter how much Samsung is poised to keep its flagships running the newest Android version, updating its Android flagships will take significantly longer.

6. You care about the whole experience

From the hardware to the software, Apple takes care of everything iPhone-related. Normally, this ensures that all aspects of the device are tailored to work seamlessly between one another and provide an almost-unrivaled user experience on all fronts. Optimization and the fruitful marriage between software and hardware is one of the most noteworthy aspects of an iPhone. We don't say that you will be disappointed by the Galaxy S6, but you'll probably have to wait a little longer before you can enjoy a similar overall experience on Samsung flagship.


7. iPhones get the best apps first.
Even though the iPhone has a smaller market share, developers still tend to make the best apps for iOS first. Yes, you can find most of the same popular apps on Android, but they don't always have the better features and designs. If you care about having the best apps on your phone, you're better off with iPhone.


8. No Android Phone Can Match IPhones' Fingerprint Sensor

Some Android phone makers like Samsung and HTC have tried adding fingerprint sensors to their phones, but none of them are as useful and accurate as the TouchID sensor on the iPhone. A few years ago, Apple bought a company called Authentec that makes the best fingerprint sensors for mobile devices. No one else has been able to beat TouchID since.


9. Few Android Cameras Can Compare With IPhone 6'S Camera

There are very few Android phones that have cameras as good as the one on the iPhone 6 (The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 stands out pretty well though). iPhone 6's camera takes great photos, and includes nifty features like the ability to shoot slow-motion and time lapse videos.

Plus, rumour has it the next iPhone will have a camera that rivals DSLRs.

Further review by me.
My review is based on personal experience with two flagship devices on the platforms (iPhone 6 & Samsung S6), and using each OS over the years.

Here's a list of devices I've used so far:

Samsung Galaxy S3
Samsung Galaxy S4
HTC ONE M8 - 16 Gig with 32Gb memory card
Samsung Galaxy S6 - 64 Gb
Iphone 6 - 64 Gb

Here's a response to the other thread:

No basis of comparison, iPhone is the best mobile phone right now. I've been on android for 4years now, started from Galaxy S3, got frustrated withy the over bloated touch wiz, installed a custom cyanogen mod, still had a terrible lagging issue.

Out of frustration I upgraded to Galaxy S4, similar story, the only plus was the battery, the touch screen was not intuitive, always making typography mistakes, I had to upgrade to the HTC M8. The HTC did better overall, battery was top notch, typing was more responsive than the Samsungd.

Out of curiosity, got the iPhone 6, was stunned at the overall speed and user experience, the typing was way better than any of the Androids. Then the Galaxy S6 came out, I felt it naturally should be better than HTC M8, so I upgraded to Galaxy S6.

First impression was nice, the camera was great, the phone was very responsive, but that's the end of the good points. The thumbprint unlock is woeful, you have to place your hand in a particular way to unlock the screen, the brower had this glitch where while scrolling, sometimes it jumps or scroll in the opposite direction, typing was not as smooth as the iPhone, maybe the problem is with the Gorilla glass.

Let's face it, as a guy I hardly use the camera to take selfies and even at that, the iPhone camera is equally great (although the autofocus on the Galaxy S6 is better).

If the primary purpose of getting a powerful smartphone is to keep in touch while away from the computer, a need which requires typing a lot of the time, then the android platform is no match for the iPhone. As an heavy user who sometimes handle business emails on the go, the Iphone best suit the need for a dependable phone. Forget about the config on the android, at the end of the day what matters is the responsiveness and iPhone wins any day anytime.

Sho ro niyen? Mtcheeew, abegi.

Iphone. Android. Windows all haplve there downsides. Sticking with Android tho

In one word: Trash

Which android device are you using?

i think the HTC is still better overall than the Samsungs.


*Modified:

I still regret switching the Galaxy S6 from my HTC ONE M8, the phone didn't live up to expectation at all, I should have upgraded to the M9 apart from the fast charging on Samsung S6, the typing and fingerprint experience is shitty. I'm always forced to go back to my trusted iPhone 6, the ever dependable phone.

Moreover, every android device is trying to be like an iPhone, the new Samsung looks so much like the iPhone 6 that its getting too embarrassing, a classic case of stalking.

The iPhone is still the phone to beat any-day anytime, thats why you constantly hear things like
"This is the new iPhone beater"
"This new phone should be better than an iPhone "

Why are they not comparing the Android phones against other android phones if they are all that

Main reason to buy an iPhone: "Its an iPhone, nothing needs to be added"

Sony Xperia Z1.

Crap... When people they use Android to make money whether geek or amateur.

Or na frontpage u dey find and u don see am. No thanks to lalasticlala

Whether you like it or not Android still beat iPhone in every thing including market wise.

#TeamAndroid.

1. The newest touchwiz on s6 doesn't feel heavier cos if it does it would lag and if lags it won't be crowned the fastest phone at the moment

2. The smudges is only present on the gold version and not on the white or black versions. I use the black, a friend uses the white and no smudges at all

3. S6 isn't on par with iPhone 6 design wise. It's better, besides the sub topic was metal and u switched to glass. iPhone 5 and 5s has better design than iPhone 6

4. A top performing all round device mustn't lag and should be bug free but iPhone 6 isnt in anyway. It's lags like shit

5. This shouldnt be an argument because android is open source and only Google controls it. Nexus devices recieve timely updates cos its done by Google. Windows and bb10 recieve timely updates too but are they the best in the market. HELL NO

6. False. Apple controls both hardware and software doesn't mean it will be the best or is the best. Despite sammy not in control on android, s6 offerings is better in everything than iPhone 6 hence Apple doing business with samsung to provide NAND and Design their processor on 14nm finger technology

If you like post 1million reasons,i wouls pick an infinix/tecno/injoo over any dumb iphone.
Iphone 6s is in productions,guess whats its an iphone 6 just re- introduced in 2015.

1. The newest touchwiz on s6 doesn't feel heavier cos if it does it would lag and if lags it won't be crowned the fastest phone at the moment

2. The smudges is only present on the gold version and not on the white or black versions. I use the black, a friend uses the white and no smudges at all

5. This shouldnt be an argument because android is open source and only Google controls it. Nexus devices recieve timely updates cos its done by Google. Windows and bb10 recieve timely updates too but are they the best in the market. HELL NO

6. False. Apple controls both hardware and software doesn't mean it will be the best or is the best. Despite sammy not in control on android, s6 offerings is better in everything than iPhone 6 hence Apple doing business with samsung to provide NAND and Design their A9 processor on 14nm finfet technology

7. They get the apps first cos they usually come paid and developers wanna make money while on android most users know how to get this apps outside the market especially when it's being cracked and you can install it free.
On iOS, the development is usually simple because its just for few phones with just 3 to 4 screen sizes, the chipset while on Android there are numerous versions of chipsets and screen sizes hence the difficulty in making some apps

8. False. S6 fingerprint scanner matches iPhone 6. Huawei mate 7 matches it too despite android not having the function baked into the OS

http://www.phonearena.com/news/Fingerprint-scanners-comparison-Galaxy-S6-vs-iPhone-6-vs-Note-4-vs-Huawei-Mate7-vs-Meizu-MX4-Pro_id71154

9. Samsung S6 ,LG G4,Note 4 all have better cameras than iPhone 6

10. Rumours, okay nah. IPhone 6s is around the corner and we see how its bests DSLRs

Do you know what innovation means? Samsung is a company that isn't afraid of trying out new things, some would work while some won't. Apple isn't that kind of a company.

HTC came up with ultra pixel camera thing
HTC introduced the duo camera thing
Sony came up with water resistance et al thing

MODIFIED
The function u mentioned earlier discontinued cos it made touchwiz heavy. I wonder why you switched in the first place, you had a bad experience with s3 and s4 and you had good moments with iPhone 6 and m8. You should have bought the M9 or wait for 6S since sammy ain't your thing.

Incase you don't know. The s6 is the current best and fastest phone out there

This thread is another reason android is better.. There s choice.. If I don't like s6 there is LG htc Sony one plus...

iPhone is the best ever.... People always say sh!!t bout iOS cos they've not use it before. Jailbreak your iPhone and get mad.

IN BASKET MOUTH VOICE...#bendgate thing,oups u know now!
