a major role in the lives of people play smart phones, and how will your smartphone, depends on your tastes, needs and interests. We will not consider certain specific Android-powered device and compare with the iPhone. We’ll talk about those features that are most devices in different price categories from different manufacturers.
Many people somehow begin to consider devices that have not optimized shell like Touchwiz, and people have formed a false impression on Android-powered devices. To understand all the advantages of Android-devices, all devices should be considered as a whole, rather than a specific “device”, and if even a start from a particular smartphone is a much better option would be to compare the HTC One M8, Nexus 6 or Moto X, than the Galaxy Note 4. Let’s get started.
Customization and choice
Customization has always been a big plus Android-devices. Ability to add widgets to the desktop, including widgets, showing system information (CPU temperature, battery and so on), sorting applications – all this is not available to users iOS-devices. Trying to Apple this year somehow attract Android-users did not succeed. Add widgets to shutter notification was not the best solution, given the fact that the curtain on iOS has long been irrelevant, unhelpful and uncomfortable. In turn, Android-devices have advanced curtain with various add-ons, notifications, in other words, on the Android functionally blind performed much better in terms of convenience, it has no equal.
And Apple has also decided to go on about Android and made some analogue of quick settings, but accomplished all this while the curve in terms of convenience is in serious doubt. Add Quick Setup, Apple made the curtain completely unnecessary. At the same time, if Android widgets are already widely associated with the ecosystem, then on iOS there are very few applications that support widgets, yes, it’s a matter of time, but the time is now playing an important role.
Services and Google Apps
As you know, Android-smartphones – not all, but most – have built-in services and applications Google. For smartphone manufacturers promote their services has a major role, consider Nokia, which, releasing the device on Android, refuses to Google services in favor of services from Microsoft. And, it seems, will soon Google will ban producers cut Google services from their products. And it will be the right solution.
iOS has built services Apple, such as iCloud, iTunes, AppStore. Imagine for a moment that instead of Apple’s iOS services are services Google – it will completely change the whole essence of the OS. We just want to show you the importance of services. Without the services Google Android, probably would not Android’om. And for many, it will be important Google services plus smartphone.
Openness
iOS – is a closed system, we do not have access to system files, in this and the pros and cons, but more cons. You can not transfer files to the device directly via USB-cable or internet link. Many will say that there are a variety of applications, cloud storage, and so on iOS, but what about those who live in an environment where the Internet connection is not available to everyone. For example, you go to work, you need to open the file, having Android-powered device, you will not be difficult to download the file directly from the Internet to link to any folder on the device and then open the file using a file manager without the need for an Internet connection. With iOS-device, or you need an Internet connection or application that you download a file, but not in the overall system environment file, and the “self” that is, the file will be available only to the application through which you downloaded the file. And it is very inconvenient.
Many will say that if iOS was open, she would not have become so attractive, dear. After all, many people like iOS for the simplicity and elegance. You might be right, and perhaps this is the case. You can not say specifically that it is better, because access to system files will not only honest users, and many do not have to. In this regard, it can be concluded that the openness of the system – plus it’s not for everyone.
Notifications
As mentioned earlier, the shutter notifications in iOS, it seems to us today is useless notifications Android made much easier, but Android 4.4, they are not as convenient and informative than in “candy.” For example, if you receive a call, it pops up a notice that you can accept / reject a call, or continue to use the device, regardless of the incoming call. In version 4.4, this function is not, and if you used when you call the application, then it will roll, and opens to full screen applications on your phone. 5.0 notice on the locked screen “lapped” with iOS, on the other hand, if it’s really good, then why not borrow this idea?
If we talk about the features of iOS-notification, the guys from Cupertino added to respond to notices directly via a pop-up window, it’s really convenient, but the number of applications that support this feature – besides the standard iMessage, – can be counted on one hand, in this connection, this feature is irrelevant.
Play Store
The number of applications on Android more than iOS. Moreover, if earlier practically all decent applications were issued initially exclusively for iOS, now all popular applications are available immediately on both platforms. And to say now that the Android app store it worse would be wrong. Yes, on iOS games and applications more optimized, but that’s another topic for discussion. Moreover, there are Android apps that will never be available on iOS – first of all it concerns the various system applications.
«Ruth”, modifications and other features
For many, the opportunity to put” Ruth “or third-party firmware is a key factor when choosing a device. Third-party firmware significantly enhances the user experience. In Android-users have a choice, and this is important. Your choice of “launchers” firmware. “I wish to put on 6 Sense Nexus? No problem! “And there are lots of other examples. Android – is a mass OS, it is converted as a user wants to see her. Of course, nobody forces you to change the software component of your device, but the fact that the user has the opportunity, gives him a sense of joy and freedom of choice.
Other features include the ability to add additional memory in the form of SD-card, because today many users 64GB is not enough. Also worth noting is the possibility of replacing the battery by hand, simply by removing the rear cover. However, this does not affect all Android-devices.
