10 Reasons Android Still Beats the iPhone

 

Android handily beats the iPhone because it provides tons more flexibility, functionality and freedom of choice.

Apple's iPhone lineup took a breakthrough this year, adding new hardware capabilities like wireless charging and, within the case of the iPhone X, a high-res OLED screen. At an equivalent time, iOS 11 introduced further refinements to Apple's phones. But albeit iPhones are the simplest that they've ever been, Android handsets still offer a much better combination of useful and features than Apple's limited lineup.

Android flies the training wheels and lets consumers choose between a swath of hardware and software, also giving access to key technologies, such as 3.5mm headphone jacks and USB-C ports that you won't find on the newest iPhones. You'll also get an unlocked Android phone for much but the value of Apple's least expensive handset, the iPhone SE.

Here are 10 reasons Android beats the iPhone.

1. Better values

If you would like an iPhone, you've got eight choices: the $349 iPhone SE, the $449 iPhone 6s, the $549 iPhone 6s Plus and iPhone 7, the $669 iPhone 7 Plus, the $699 iPhone 8, the $799 iPhone 8 Plus, and therefore the $999 iPhone X. While the 4-inch iPhone SE may sound sort of a bargain as compared to its big brothers, you'll find a very great Android phone that sells for fewer than $349 and comes with a way bigger screen.

There are quite half a dozen good Android phones that cost but $250. you'll get a solid handset just like the Moto G5 Plus — which features a 5.2-inch, 1080p display; a quick Snapdragon 625 CPU; and an honest 12-MP camera — for just $239. Available on MetroPCS, the $130 ZTE Blade Z Max features a 6-inch, full-HD display and lasts quite 11 hours on a charge.

 

2. 3.5mm headphone jacks

All phones from the iPhone 7 lack the 3.5mm audio jack that allows you to connect a pair of ordinary headphones. If you would like to concentrate on music on your Apple handset, you will have to use a dongle, connect a pair of Bluetooth headphones or buy a wired set that uses the company's proprietary Lightning connector.

However, most of the world's headphones — starting from the $3 pair you get at Walgreens to the $300 set of Bose QuietComfort you bought for your birthday — still use the three .5mm connector. Except for the Moto Z and Google Pixel / Pixel 2, most Android phones still have this popular port, including all of the most well-liked handsets from Samsung, LG and OnePlus.

 

 

3. USB Type-C charging ports with fast charging

If you would like to charge an iPhone or connect it to your computer for any reason, you will need a cable with Apple's proprietary Lightning port. Unfortunately, aside from iPhones and iPads, no devices charge over Lightning, so you cannot share an equivalent set of cables with your other gear. This is often ironic because Apple's MacBooks charge via USB-C.

Today, most new Android phones use a USB Type-C port for charging, which suggests that they will access a particularly broad universe of ports and peripherals, from universal chargers to docking stations. Additionally, USB-C enables fast wired charging on most newer Android phones. With the iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X, charging fast with a wire mean buying another 29-watt or higher power brick plus a USB-C-to-Lightning cable.

 

 

4. Customization, widgets and skins

Like a father during a 1950s sitcom, Apple thinks it knows what's best for you, regardless of what you would like or want, so it locks down the UI and offers fewer customizations than Google does. You're limited to a couple of select widgets. But with Android, you'll choose between thousands of widgets that survive your home or lock screens and supply everything from music playback to weather and note-taking.

Manufacturers like Samsung and LG add custom "skins" on top of the core OS, offering a distinct look and feel. Better still, you'll install your own launcher or add a custom theme, which makes your phone look and feel completely different — and uniquely yours.

 

 

5. more hardware options, including rugged phones

On one occasion, Google's marketing tagline for Android was "Be Together. Not an equivalent ." that creates sense because the platform appears on many different phone models around the world. You'll get Android phones with giant screens, small screens, modular add-ons, QWERTY keyboards and replaceable batteries.

It's nice to understand that the newest iPhones are water-resistant. Still, if you're worried about breaking your phone, there are some truly rugged handsets out there, just like the Moto Z2 Force, which features a screen that's guaranteed to not crack for four years and an optional projector add-on. You'll also consider the LG X venture, which is shock-resistant from up to 4 feet within the air. If you would like the sensation of typing on real physical keys, look no further than the BlackBerry KeyOne.

 

 

6. A true, working filing system

Want to repeat files from your iPhone to your computer? You will need to put in iTunes and found out an account, and even then, you'll move only media files, like photos, back and forth. Plug an Android phone into your PC, on the opposite hand, and it instantly mounts as a drive crammed with folders you'll drag and drop.

With iOS 11, iPhone users recently got the power to flick through a number of their data files using the new Files app. However, Files doesn't offer you access to all or any the folders on your device like Android tools like Astro File Manager and ES File Manager. And therefore, the iOS 11 Files app still doesn't make your iPhone appear as a drive once you connect it to your computer via USB.

 

 

7. A back button

Android's back button provides a very simple and helpful thanks to returning to a previous screen regardless of where you're. The button even works across apps. If you hit a link in Facebook and obtain transported to the Chrome browser, you'll return to the social media app once you hit the rear button.

On the iPhone, you'll get contextual back buttons within apps or a back button that appears once you click a link that takes you from one app to a different one. However, there is no universal button that helps you step back.

 

 

8. Multiwindow support

If you are looking to multitask on your phone, you would like an Android phone. The newest two versions of Google's mobile OS, Android 7 Nougat and Android 8 Oreo, have a built-in multiwindow mode, allowing you to, for instance, check out the corporate website in one window.

At the same time, you reply to your boss's email in another. Even without the newest OS update, phones from LG and Samsung have this split-screen view inbuilt. Apple features a split-screen view in iOS, but just for its tablets, not its phones.

 

 

9. Write with a stylus

While you'll get an Apple Pencil for your iPad, if you would like to scribble on your iPhone screen, you're just about out of luck (you can purchase a capacitive stylus which is not any better than your finger).

However, the Galaxy Note 8 comes with the extremely powerful S Pen. Therefore the onboard software allows you to use the Stylus for drawing, writing instant messages and scribbling notes even when the phone's screen is off. LG also makes various stylus-enabled phones, including the G4 Stylus and, therefore, the Stylo 3.

 

 

10. More log in options

The iPhone 6, 7 and eight all use Apple's Touch ID fingerprint recognition to allow you to log in with one touch, but they do not offer facial or retina recognition. The iPhone X offers face recognition but no fingerprint or retina option. Android devices provide you with a good range of authentication options. For instance, Samsung's recent Galaxy phones allow you to choose fingerprint, retina or face recognition.
