Android 4.0 Vs. iPhone 5 / iPhone 4S Comparisons - Android Phones: Stand tall against iPhone 5?


Is an iPhone 5 or iPhone 4S competent enough to fight Android phonesApple has just unveiled the fifth generation of its flagship smartphone iPhone 4S. It is the question here whether Android phones or iPhones are good comes in. Even if iPhone is a stalwart in market domination, Android phones are on their way to beat the iPhone supremacy in global smartphone market in near future. 


Why Android is capable to stand against iPhone, which is the most circulated smartphone ever? The possible reasons that give power for Android over iPhone are listed below.
  • Free software
Google Android is an open source operating system. The open nature of Android helps users customize the firmware on their phones. Users, third party hardware makers and programmers often refurbish the firmware as they wish. But in case of iOS, it is not possible, indeed, because the software is a closed one. Only Apple approved apps and programs will run on an iPhone. It is a time people are showing more interest towards open source OS and apps.
  • Hardware choices
You have lots of smartphone choices under Android. If it is iOS, you have to only pick the latest version of an iPhone. But if you adore Android, you have innumerable choices from world’s top companies that contain Samsung, HTC, Dell, Acer, Motorola, and many others. Besides the brand diversity, there are phones that have different memory, RAM and screen size options. A customer never has to pay extra for a feature that he/she will not use. It is not any way possible if you go for an iPhone, because it is with the same settings for all.
  • Pricing
You have several price varieties under Android. You can find smartphones on Android priced at below $100 and priced at above $500. If it is iPhone, you have only a single model and single price. The price changes only in accordance with the memory capacities of iPhone. For example, Apple has three prices for its latest iPhone 4S; $199, $299 and $399 respectively for 16GB, 32GB and 64GB.
  • Quick updates
If you are fed up with your iPhone model, you will have to wait for a year to get an upgrade to it. On Android, you have a new phone almost every day. Hundreds of companies across the world roll out fresh phones on Android. These new devices and their upgrades often make Android platform brisk and smart with new products.
  • Local products
If anyone wants a phone manufactured by a company more familiar and attached with him/her, Android is the better way. There are Android hardware makers from across the world. HTC, Acer and ASUSTeK belong to Taiwan. Samsung and LG are from South Korea, and there are many Chinese and Indian product makers on Android. These companies often find their customers from their geographical bounds. This is not available for an iPhone.
