9 Reasons Why You Should Buy An Android Phone Instead Of An iPhone

Ever since telephone was invented it has

undergone several modifications and new

brands and operating system are being

released every now and then over the years.

These changes have been made to adapt to

our various lifestyles, and phones have long

since been digressed from the primary function

(making and receiving calls) to much more

complicated tasks. Among all the operating

system being released and as far as mobile

devices are concerned, Android and IPhone are

the two most popular so far as they constitute

more than 90% the smartphone OS market.

You’ll agree with me that IPhone operating

system (OS) is slightly better than the android

operating system, I strongly believe that there

is multitude of reason why you should buy an

android phone instead of an IPhone. Without

wasting much of your time, below are nine

reasons why you should buy an android phone

rather than an iPhone:

1. OPEN SOURCE PLATFORM : Nothing is

sweeter about an android phone than the fact

that it is an open source operating system

which means that as a user, you can

contribute your own ideas, no matter how little

it may appear, and even add applications

without worrying about license and other

pressing issues that may become trouble later

on. To software developers, this is a plus

because it helps you advertise and expand

your products.

2. VENDORS ENDORSEMENT: In buying an

android phone, you have a wide range of

selection to make because many

manufacturers such as LG, HTC Sony and

Samsung support it. Android operating system

(OS) also have captured the interest of some

computer vendors such as Dell and Acer who

have shown interest in manufacturing android

based devices.

However, other mobile operating system such

as IOS and Symbian are controlled solely by

their manufacturers, Apple and Nokia

respectively.

So tell me, which would you choose, android

OS that has a wide range of support or IPhone

that is supported only by their makers?

3. CUSTOM LAUNCHERS : One great feature of

android OS is the ability to be customized.

Like other aspects, you can easily change the

launcher that comes along with your android

device to any launcher of your choice. There

are many custom launcher apps in Google play

store and you can easily get the ones that suit

your taste. You might want to change your

screen layout, icons, gestures, page transitions

and many more. Android OS gives you the

opportunity to do this.

4. AFFORDABILITY: I know you have been

waiting for this one (LOL). All the reasons I’ve

been mentioning would make no sense if the

price range is not treated because it is an

important factor in making any purchase. As

far as price is concerned, the most favourable

thing is that you don’t have to worry about

your budget when buying an android phone

because you can get one within the range of

$70 to $1000. It all depends on your choice.

As you can see, android provides you with

much options and features that fits your

budget.

5. EASY CUSTOMIZATION: Yes, this point is

self-explanatory. Android OS is great and gives

you tons of options to make your device

appear just the way you want it. You don’t

necessarily have to continue using the default

settings, and if you want to, you can easily

change them. To add to it, all mobile apps

downloaded from the android market are very

compatible with android smartphones making

their customisation easy.

6. INTERGRATED WITH GOOGLE PRODUCTS:

android, being owned by Google makes the

operating system (OS) connected with virtually

all Google products such as Google Docs,

Google+, Gmail, Google maps, etc. with this,

you don’t have to look for or worry about any

settings for Google services because all the

necessary data and settings for Google will be

copied automatically to your device which

gives you access to multiple applications that

you can use between phone and PC.

7. MORE FREE GAMES AND APPS: this is

undoubtedly one of the best reasons you

should buy an android phone because you get

more free apps and games in the android

market than in the apple store.

An example of these free apps is angry bird.

On Google play store it is free but sold for

$0.99 each in the apple store. So which would

you go for?

8. WIDGETS FLEXIBILITY: This is another great

feature about android worth mentioning.

Widgets can be easily placed on your home

screen enabling you to quickly access apps on

your phone and get all info you want without

opening an app. All these are easy on android

OS.

9. CUSTOM ROMS: lastly but definitely not the

least, you can customize the stock ROM that

comes with your android device if you want.

You need to do this if you want to boost your

phones performance or gain access to some

tools or add-ons. This might be a little tedious

task, so you need to apply caution so as not

to run into trouble.
