10 Reasons why Android is better than iPhone

10 Reasons why Android is better than iPhone

1. Massive device
The 5.5-inch frame of the iPhone 6 Plus is Apple’s biggest device to date,but the likes of Samsung have previously launched the gigantic 6.3-inch Galaxy Mega. Not the bestphone out there, but certainly one of the biggest.

2. Metal is best
Apple has undoubtedly produced one of the most beautiful smartphones ever in the iPhone 6, but its new design path is very familiar to the new look of the Samsung Galaxy Alpha and the LGG3. Both are premium Android devices currently available.

3. Fitness is key
Android users have an abundance of fitness bands available for less than £100. The likes of the Misfit Shine, Jawbone and FitBit have all set the standard really high and offer far more features than what’s currently available in Apple’s HealthKit.

4. Smartwatches
There has already been over 20 different smartwatches running alternate versions of the Android OS. Apple’s first attempt looks to have made the same mistakes as the original set of Android offerings, but they should improve in the future.

5. Wonderful widgets
With the launch of iOS 8, widgets are now readily available to Apple users. In contrast, we’ve had widget support since Android 3.0 Honeycombe, back in 2011. These days Android users can even create their own widgets from scratch.

6. Camera tech
Although the iPhone 6 has a lower pixel count than most high-end Android phones, it has generally been praised for producing superb images. HTC has adopted Ultrapixels into its devices, which include fewer pixels but maintain superb quality.

7 Octa-core is hardcore
In a day where some of the most power hungry apps require plenty of processing power, it seems a strange decision that Apple would release the iPhone 6 with a mediocre dual-core processor. The likes of the Note 4 already include a gigantic octa-core processor.

8. “Hey Siri”
One of the biggest advancements in the past year of Android has been the update to Google Now. Voice search has become a big part of the iPhone 6, with users now able to say “Hey Siri” to activate the voice companion, very much in the same vein as the “OK Google” feature.

9. Stay in sync
A big part of the appeal of smartwatches is being able to keep your devices in sync together and manage your device’s basic functions all on the smartwatch. It’s certainly a feature that LG has brought to the mainstream and others, including Apple, have taken a lot of inspiration from.

10. High-end
High-end devices aren’t cheap, but Apple’s iPhone 6 comes at a very high price point. You can purchase Android devices with similar specs, noticeably the new Moto G, for around £400 cheaper than the iPhone 6.
