6 Reasons Why Nigerians Choose Android Phones Over Iphone by Gsmbasics: 6:51am On Oct 17, 2016
Before beginning this post I want to tell you that this article does not suggest that iPhone has less functions than Android, or Apple phones are not good, I am writing this post to inform you how Android is better than IOS or the contrast in between the both OS.

If you notice in Nigeria, you will see that everyone is looking at their mobile phone this obviously suggests that users are addicted to smartphones.Everyone wants to purchase a mobile phone with more functions in less cost and what's much better than Android phones. One thing I like about Android is that you will get a mobile phone at the most affordable price.
As you know that Google is frequently launching their latest OS KitKat, lollipop, Marshmallow, etc

Here I am discussing why Nigerians are going for Android over Apple iPhones and this post also covers some features of both OS.

1. Cost

This is the main reason why Nigerians are moving to Android devices.If you notice the cost of Android phone starts from N15,000. As compared to this if you choose the iPhone you need N150,000+, and you will get fewer features compared with android mobile. Forget about the brand people wants more features in less cost.

2. Removable gadgets

The android mobiles have enough internal memory as much as 16 GB even you can add external sd cards if you need additional space. In case of iPhone, you will get only an inbuilt memory approximately 8GB, 16GB, 32GB, 64GB, 128GB you cannot increase the memory due to the fact that there is no external memory card slot readily available in Apple gadgets.
As lots of people want to watch movies, videos on their smartphone they need enough space, for such people iPhone is not for them. Clearly, Nigerians will find another phone which will meet their requirement.

3. Bluetooth.

If you want to transfer information from one mobile to another you can use Bluetooth technology.In past, some Nigerians used to buy phones on the basis of accessibility of Bluetooth functionality.
In iPhone, you can move data from one mobile to another but within iPhone devices, it implies that there is limitation of transferring information within iPhone.

4. Easy to use, weight, screen size

The interface of Android is clearer that anybody can comprehend, no need for extra manual once you get mobile you will get to understand it.In the case of iPhone, there are a lot of complex features like Apple ID, app store, Siri, and so on. which ordinary people do not know about. The other factor is weight.
The Android mobile weight is less than iPhone.Some people do not like more weight to carry in their pocket.
The iPhone screen size is fixed and I would state that it is extremely small as compared with android mobile.People will like to watch movies on big screen devices which iPhone will not offer.Maybe we need to give iPhone 6+ thumbs up for 5.5 inches.

5. Phone availability

There are thousands of android phones readily available in the market with different screen size, different brand names, replaceable battery etc. however if you take a look at iPhone, there are few phones available in the market with the expensive price compared to Android. If you want to buy an iPhone, then you have just a few choices.

6. App store vs Play-store

In google store you will get countless of apps at free of charge however in iPhone app store there is a minimal application that you have to pay cash. In Android, you can take a backup of that application, and you can move it to another gadget all such features means a lot to people.

Final words:
After checking all the features of both OS, I will pick Android because of pricing aspect of it. Otherwise, Apple is a good brand, and it constantly produces good quality product.The style of iPhone has no competition as they are on the top of all smartphones.Though I have actually used android devices before now, I have actually purchased iPhone 6 to see how it works and why people likes Apple.
Which do you prefer Android or iPhone? Do comment

I think your topic should be changed to why most Nigerians buy android instead iPhone. Why because some persons still like iPhone inspite of the listed features you highlighted.
it will be suicidal for you to generalize the whole thing

This is a #fact and also, Androids can be tweaked beyond an imaginable extent. I think this is the number one reason.

There is only one logical reason ppl use iPhones.. brand and class.. Nigerians use it to show off though. but aside that, there is absolutely nothing the iPhone can do that a very good Samsung android can't. and at a much lower price.

Its all about cost, cost and cost.

A large percentage of android users go with tecno and other affordable ones. If not for phone from chinese manufactures, alot of Nigerians would have still been using java phones.
