Top 10 Reasons Why Android Is Better Than iOS

The Top Ten
Freedom of Customization

This is the only reason I'd rather use Android than iOS, and I'm coming from a giant Apple fan.

Even though I don't typically trust Google, I'd still use Android primarily to play around with.

Also, the Android mascot is really cool.

On Android, you are free to change your lock screen, launcher, and pretty much every aspect of the phone's appearance.

Not a single word more is needed - freedom is enough.

Ability to Download Apps from Third-Party Sites

You can get apps that aren't available on the Play Store online, or even get paid apps for free.

Or you can get older versions of games (like Minecraft) for nostalgia purposes.

Near Field Communication (NFC)

You can send files and contacts to another Android phone just by touching them together.

File Manager

You can access your phone's file system, which essentially makes your phone work like a flash drive.

Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA)

You can wirelessly transfer music, photos, and videos from your phone to another phone, PS3 or PS4, or PC.

Data Alerts and Limits

You can set alerts to go off when you've used a certain amount of data, and you can have it automatically shut data off at a certain point.

Replaceable Batteries

You can switch out your battery, SD card, or SIM card whenever you want by taking the back off.

LED Notifications

If you have a notification, an LED light will flash a certain color and speed according to the app. You will know you have a notification without having to turn your screen on.

Lower Cost

Android devices give higher performance for a lower price.

It's better in almost every way, and some are only $20.

Android is better. I just got an iPhone for the quality, emojis, and Video Star.

Memory Expansion

If you buy an iPhone, for example, have fun with only 16 GB!

With Android devices, you can actually use SD Cards. Bought one with 16 GB? No problem, buy a 512 GB SD card (depending on your device).

Prices to Fit Your Needs

Meanwhile, iPhones released around the same time only vary by storage.

More Bang for Your Buck

Provided the device can handle it, it has nothing to do with the OS - it's more about the hardware.
