What is Android?

Android is the world's most popular mobile platform. With Android you can use all the Google apps you know and love, plus there are more than 600,000 apps and games available on Google Play to keep you entertained, alongside millions of songs and books, and thousands of movies. Android devices are already smart, and will only get smarter, with new features you won't find on any other platform, letting you focus on what's important and putting you in control of your mobile experience.

Why And what are The reasons to show that Android is better than Iphone?

1. The Presence of And Additional Sd Card

Android devices tries their best to get atleast an inbuilt memory of 5Gb and also An additional SD card, though iphone has a better Inbuilt memory 64GB.

ok lets do this little arithmetic, I have four Sd cards of about 32GB each, all sum up to be about 128GB fairly the hard disk size of some laptops. i now loaded one of the card with Movies, The other one with Musics, The 3rd one with Records and the last One with Applications,

so, if i should wish to give someone some musics, i would probably give him one of my SD cards, Unlike the iphone that does not uses the sd card, they would'nt to let you take their phone along with them.

2. Android has a better Notification

Yeah,this is what i really appreciate from the android, a better notification, though the iphone 5 has this, but it can never be compared to that of android, because it does not have the feature of multitasking which am going to talk about in the next few post, and also it does one notifiacation at a time and also it does not pop out notification just like the android

Imagine when you turn on the display of your Android, you get an immediate-glance of the notifications which lets you know if you got a missed call, new message, new email or if someone is talking about you on social media. On iOS, you don't have an immediate-glance, you have to unlock the iPhone and swipe down from the top of the screen every time you want to see the notification

3. Android has better multi tasking

Multi tasking on Android is a real good feature that allows you to Run native apps, download app at thesame time without them coming on your screen.

4. Android Provides a BACK BUTTON

Right from onset, the android has a back button, even the G1 (first Android), but the iphone does not have a "back button" which is an annoying feature, imagine when you run on a new app, you must now look for where the back button of the app is located right on the app for you to go back gosh..

Another example is when you are reading an email from an Email app and you clicked on a link in the email, it opens up safari, to go back to the Email app, you will need to first go to the homescreen by pressing the home button and launching the Email app again, although Apple said it's fixed in iOS 4, but its doesn't look original.


5. Android lets you Replace your battery, but iphone dont.

As people would say that the battery is the head of the phone and when its off the phone is useless, now that iphone doesnt appreciate the fact that your battery should be changed, what if you now had a bad one does that means that all your file are gone? yeah i guess so cos the battery is already inbuilt and no means wat so ever to get a changed one.
  
6. Android Has A Wide Range Of Devices To Choose From

You can easily make choices from a very wide variety of Android phones with better specs

7. You can easily Set Apps to default On android

Setting apps to launch by default from certain actions is a piece of cake on Android, an example is setting your default web browser to Opera or Dolphin browser when a browser action is initiated. But on iphones, you will need to launch the app manually because the default web browser safari cannot be changed from default even when the iPhone is jailbroken

8. Installations of custom Roms

Android has a community dedicated to the development of custom roms, not only does custom roms brings the same functionality as jailbreaking does, but adds an advanced level of customization to the device. Some custom ROMs build up additional features for your phone while others strip down bulky feature and optimize for speed.

9. Iphone syncing is difficult and horrible

I would really explain better in my next post on "8 reasons why you must not buy an iphone" .

syncingin iphone is the only way to copy the few supported files, on android this can be effectively done by simply mounting and drag whatever files you want to copy into your phone's SD Card  

10. Google and Social Integration Is Better On Android

These days the web has replaced most of our daily activities such as Facebook and Twitter for our social lives, Google docs for our documents, Flickr for our photos, Email for our messages. On android these features has been integrated natively, photos taken with your android phone can automatically be uploaded to your Flickr or Google plus account, automatic delivery of Emails as soon as they arrive, instant notifications of happenings on Facebook and Twitter that concerns you, your phone can also sync your Facebook friends to your phone contact with their profile pics, phone number and email addresses.

iPhone can also do these with the help of third party apps but the experience is nothing near that of Android. On Android nothing is out of reach!

The difference between Apple store And Google Play Store

I completely agree that the Apple app store has over 600,000 apps while the Google play store recently hit 600,000 apps catching up with the Apple app store pretty fast. In the Google play store, you get way more free apps for your Android device than you get for your iPhone in the Apple App store. Even, every edition of the Angry bird game is sold for $0.99 each in the apple app store, something you get for free in the Google play store.

Android is Popular

This is one fact i wouldnt want us to forget in a hurry, do you know that the android is popular than the iphone? i know my apple dudes would have answered it a "yes" so thats it.
 
Do Virtually everything faster with android widgets.

On Android you have a homescreen where you can put widgets, most of these widgets help you to get things done faster on your Android. An example is the power widgets that allows you to quickly toggle on / off your Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GPS, Automatic brightness, Mobile data, Airplane mode, etc. you could easily tap on the icon to switch it on or off instead of going into your phone's settings. On iPhone, you dont have a homescreen to place widgets, it doesn't have widgets though, the iPhone's default screen is the application drawer
