Iphone Vs Android. Which is better? by Frankenstein: 8:40pm On Nov 14, 2014 |
LOGIN The iPhone’s TouchID fingerprint sensor makes bypassing the annoying lock screen a breeze. Samsung has a similar feature. Other Android phones have a face recognition login option, which is less secure and doesn’t work in dimly lit settings.

MAKE A CALL Favorite contacts are laid out much better in Android — according to the people you call most frequently. But FaceTime is the iPhone’s killer feature.

CHECK THE TIME The iPhone shows you the time when you press the home or lock button. But Android does time keeping better. Motorola, Samsung and HTC have smart covers and sensors that automatically show you the time as soon as you pull the phone out of your pocket. Android also has a super-dim “daydream” clock that stays on when charging on your nightstand.

TAKE A PHOTO OR VIDEO There are awesome Android cameras, and Android utilizes the full screen for the viewer, but the iPhone’s camera is definitely the best. Yet managing photos is a much better – and cheaper – experience on Android. And Apple’s iCloud is a disaster.

TYPE Android’s stock keyboard is better than Apple’s, including its swipe gestures. It also has punctuation on the same screen as the letters. (Really, Apple, can’t you do that?) Both now have third-party keyboards if you’re looking for an option that better suits your needs.

USE APPS Apple and Google both have fantastic app stores. But Android is far superior at organizing apps, letting you put important stuff on the home screens and hide less useful apps in the app drawer. Unlike Android, the iPhone’s apps look like a mess when they’re placed into folders. Also, Android’s widgets are much more useful than Apple’s. 1 Share

GET AND MANAGE NOTIFICATIONS The iPhone’s active notifications let you respond from within the notification without opening the app – something Android lacks. But Android still makes notifications easier to use because you can swipe to clear them. Deleting notifications on iOS 8 is a pain in the neck. And Android’s killer app, Google Now, magically notifies you when you need to leave for your next appointment.

LISTENING TO MUSIC Android has an excellent music-playing app in Google Play Music. But Apple has iTunes. Enough said.

CHECK EMAIL Apple automatically recognizes your Exchange settings for work email. Android’s mail app isn’t as pretty and lacks some of the controls that the iPhone gives you. Though Android lets you quickly swipe to the next message, it doesn’t thread conversations like the iPhone.

GET DIRECTIONS Google Maps is the best mobile app ever designed. It’s available on both the iPhone and Android, but it’s only used natively on Android. That means Siri can’t use Google Maps – only Apple’s improving but still inferior Maps app.

CONTACTS Android’s contacts are much easier to navigate, and its large photos make it easier to find who you’re looking for. The iPhone automatically connects with Facebook and other social networks to populate your contacts’ photos. Most Android phones require a separate app, like Sync.Me, to do that. |

SEARCH Search is Google’s bread and butter, but Apple did a surprisingly good job updating Spotlight search in iOS 8. Spotlight searches more stuff than Google does: email, podcasts, notes, reminders, calendar events, texts and voice memos. But Google lets you choose your default search engine. With Apple, you’re stuck with Bing.

SET TO VIBRATE The iPhone has a physical switch. On Android, you have to turn on the phone, then hold down the power button.

TALK TO YOUR PHONE Siri has personality, but she doesn’t really do much. Android’s voice “assistant” has no personality – and it also doesn’t do much of anything. But Android’s voice assistant types as you talk, works offline and can be activated hands-free by saying “OK Google.”

phayvoursky:Americans think otherwise. They consider android phones inferior to iPhones. |

iPhones are costly, that's why poor Nigerians will have to stick with Android phones. They really have no choice. iPhone is not for the poor but android is. |
Re: Iphone Vs Android. Which is better? by phayvoursky(m): 12:11pm On Nov 18, 2014 |
bosun11: What I can say is that both models weren't released together. The m8 was released around march while the mini was released by may. So I guess due to technology advancement and upgrades the mini came with a better camera. The mini only comes with 16gb while the maxi comes with either 16 or 32 gb. depends on choice. And for the camera I think I like though its not that bad |
Re: Iphone Vs Android. Which is better? by bosun11(m): 12:17pm On Nov 18, 2014 |
phayvoursky: yea the mini comes with 13MP...but the m8 comes with 4 although the RAM of the mini is higher than that of the m8 though. thanks |
