Android or iPhone? Compare its features and choose the best one for you

The competition between Android and

iPhone

, or rather iOS (its operating system), has been around for years. On both sides, there are fanatical users who love these operating systems and the way each one presents its functions and interfaces.

In any case, there are also many people who do not know what to choose and are hesitant. In this article we are going to see the strengths and differences between both. As well as why one may be better than the other.

Now let’s look at the main comparison points in those operating systems:

Having a wide variety of applications is much more convenient than having just a few. This is reflected in the store of each operating system, in the case of Google it is the Play Store and in the case of the iPhone it is the App Store.

According to the specialized page, Digital Trends, we can say that the number of applications per operating system:

Manzana

It has a large number of consumers in the United States and Europe, but Android leads in all other parts of the globe. This means that, although there are a greater number of application developers in the United States, developers outside that country tend to lean towards Android.

Although quantity does not directly imply quality, having the possibility of choosing between 800,000 more applications, we take it as an advantage for Android.

Although it is a reality that there are Android cell phones that are even more expensive than most

iPhone phones

, Android has a wide variety of prices. This type of operating system and Android cell phone manufacturers offer different ranges and prices, many lower than any entry-level iPhone model.

Without a doubt, due to the wide range of prices that Android offers, it has an advantage in this category.

In the case of speed and power of the system, when we talk in general about the models that have iOS or Android, it must be said that this point is won by the iPhone.

This is because Apple has a lot of hardware and internal architecture created by the same company. In the case of its processors, the Bionic, it has a way of working in terms of its cache memory that makes performance better, it does not need to execute so many steps to accomplish a task.

On the other hand, it is also true that iPhone has different applications to clean the phone of data and cache garbage in an effective way. This also translates into faster operation and less full storage.

Battery life is a vital factor for many users. This is a factor that usually depends a lot on the models you are talking about. Likewise, if you compare high-end phones, Android phones tend to have larger batteries. Now, the issue is that, thanks to the fact that the iPhone has better battery optimization, it lasts longer.

Since it depends so much on the models, and the iPhones also have very good optimization, but they lose the capacity of their battery over time, we consider this category tied.

When we talk about variety of models, Android wins the point, without discussion. This is because iPhone basically has a single manufacturer, and Android has a very large variety of brands, many of these with massive production levels and different ranges, such as Samsung,

Xiaomi

or Motorola.

Thanks to the fact that Android belongs to Google, and Google Maps is included in all

android phones

this category must be given to Android.

This is due to the ease and good functioning of this location in general, as well as the permanent update it receives from Google.

In terms of customizing themes, wallpapers, sounds, among other options, we see Google’s operating system as the winner: Android.

This is mainly due to the variety of images, widgets (quick views of different applications, for example, the weather) and theme colors that they have to choose from by default. To which we can add even more, adding downloaded files or installing specific widget applications.

In the case of specific calls and messages, we can see which iPhone is the winner. This is because it includes dedicated messaging and calling applications such as FaceTime and iMessage.

FaceTime is an exclusive application for video calls, created entirely by Apple and optimized for communication between different iPhones. It is characterized by having great quality in terms of image and call stability.

On the other hand, we have iMessage, the messaging service for iOS devices. This app is also easy to use and is intended exclusively for iPhone users.

Because Android cell phones allow external, expandable storage, this opponent wins. On the other hand, iPhones do not have the option to expand their internal memory, which can be a disadvantage over time.

Once we have seen the main characteristics of each one, it is up to you to decide what type of

cell phone

It is the best for what you are looking for.

As we saw, Android wins in several categories. But if what you are looking for is a powerful, albeit more expensive, cell phone, the iPhone may be the right cell phone for you.
