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.
