Basic Features That Triumphs Android Over Ios
The use of smartphone around the globe is exploding and with that users are getting
various choices over choosing platforms like iOS, Android, Windows, etc. As Windows based smartphone users are not great in number, so the prime competition for platforms is between iOS and Android. Just after 2007, people didn't have many choices regarding smart phones as iPhone is dominating the mobile market. But afterwards companies like Google, Microsoft and Blackberry have come up with options for smartphone users to choose.
As per various surveys results, Android takes over iOS as 50-55 percentage of smartphone users have android on their phone and 30-35 percentage have iOS. Most of the mobile application development companies also choose for android application development as it is more flexible for both developers and users. Here are some basic things those make people choose Android over iOS are:
Alternate Applications
As Android is an open source platform, it offers you flexibility to switch between applications as you wish. If you're not happy with your default email client then you can switch to others in an android platform. This is not possible in case of iOS, as Apple provides those email clients which are tied up with it to provide email services.
Hardware Options
Android is available with variety of mobile manufacture companies coming on various models, designs, colors, carriers and hardware requirements. Companies like Samsung, HTC, Nexus and Amazon have chosen Android as their OS. But if you're going for iOS, you've to choose among Apple products which are obviously good yet not with much variation.
Android is Open Source and Customizable
Android is an open source environment which provides developers or users option to modify the functionality of their smart phone as per their requirements. Android allows rooting and by rooting, a user can do many crazy things with the android and the Custom ROM is purely another OS with multiple developer oriented functionality. The same thing can be achieved in iOS by Jail-breaking but that also under many legal restrictions which limit developer access to the OS.
Voice Search
Both Android and iOS make available the voice search facilities named as Voice Search and Siri respectively. When Google launched Voice Search initially, it lacked audience with some primitive features before Siri from Apple. But now with the current version of Android, Jelly Bean, the Voice Search feature is one of the key features to beat Siri. Voice Search not only searches but also presents you with the information directly from source with photos and other updates. As compared to it, Siri helps you find the source where you can find the answer to your question.
Worthy Upgrades and Affordability
Android releases it various upgrades within 6 months to1 year period which come with much improvised functionality than the previous versions. Apple does the same thing with iOS, but android is much faster and smoother in performance comparisons. Recently HTC incorporated the Android 4.1 OS into its upcoming smartphone variations. As far as the price is concerned Android enabled smartphone comes in half price compared to iPhones.
