Is Android winning?

Had a debate about this with a few friends of mine and I'm sure you probably know that we still ended up having a disagreement. I'm a pretty raw Android user, only because there is so much that can be accomplished with it such as having flexibility, variety and all other sorts of pros with their devices.

Android has numerous choices when it comes to type of phone you want to buy - from high end to inexpensive. Some high end Android phones include Galaxy S8, Google's Pixel 2 and Huawei's M9. Low end Android phones include Huawei's Snap To, Asus Zenfon 2 and Alacatel's Onetouch Idol 3. Even the low cost Android phones are great, but are no match for the high end one's, especially when it comes to performance , general design and stability. Android phone manufacturers include HTC, Samsung, Sony Ericsson and Lenovo, which is owned by Google. The iPhone, for example, only has one style of phone, so if you can't afford that phone, you can't own an iPhone, which isn't the case with Android phones.

There are thousands of free applications you can install on your Android phone, through sites such as Aptoide, Amazon and Google Play. When an Android's app crashes, a user can easily search the error code online and get an explanation on how to fix it. iPhone users may have to wait for the manufacturer to release a bug fix or delete the problematic app. Unlike iOS, which is a 'locked' system that is nearly impossible to customise, Android is an open system that lets you customize your device by integrating it with outside software. For example, the 2013 Facebook Home software allowed smartphone users to transform their phones into a Facebook-themed device, but iOS users couldn't integrate the software, and were unable to add it to their iPhones and of course because Android is a Google-made operating system, almost all Android-based smart phones are integrated with Google's most popular services such as Gmail, Google Reader, Google Docs and Hangouts.

Android allows all age groups to use the devices which are available on android as there is a lot to fiddle with when using a device. It is not complicated and the tech involved in creating a android operating device has near enough the same security as IOS along with being able to change to improve instead of having to wait for the manufacturer to release a security patch. I think one of the main problems with an IPhone is the storage which is ridiculous as updates take up a lot of space whereas Android users don't tend to have storage issues unless using a low-end device which requires a certain amount of space to run the operating system.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on Android or even Apple devices, drop a little comment in the box on the right pane of my page or even drop me a quick e-mail.
