Owing to the explosive growth in the world of smart phone market, many technology establishments are in the race to launch new operating systems concurrently en masse. However, in this cut-throat competition of being the best, two particular operating systems have managed to generate greater amounts of press (no surprises here) and keep it fixed: Android and iPhone.

Time and again, there are many discussions regarding the supremacist of the two and they often end without any conclusion. Today, however, we will have a look at the areas where Android possesses superiority over iPhone smart phones.
-
Cost Effective: There is a reason that Android mobiles are selling like a bunch of hot cakes. It is their price range feature which makes them budget friendly for even a common man who can’t afford the luxury of iPhones. Starting from as low as 3000 up to 70000 and probably more, everyone can decide his/her rate of smart phone. No need to sell kidneys for a phone, now!
-
Multitude of Models: So are you a selfie lover, do you want a slim phone or is a high speed processor your priority? Maybe, you just want the battery to last for hours. With the top brands such as Samsung, OnePlus, Xiomi, incorporating Android OS, there is a multitude of options to choose from, according to one’s priority. This is a great benefit over iPhones where you are stuck with the same design, model and a limited edition to choose from.
-
User Friendly Customization: The app management feature and UI customization make it easy to choose from hundreds of widgets you want on your home and lock screen. Whereas on iPhone, Apple has the supreme power to decide what lives in your notification drawer, home or lock screen. Although it may offer options to choose from, but the customization is, no doubt, less than Google. Also the lack of a back button in even the latest versions of the iPhone makes the matter only worse.
-
Easy sharing: The universal sharing feature in Android phones, which almost everyone knows about, is a boon for the users. Unfortunately on the iPhone, Apple decides what and from which gateways you can share files. And that too only if the browser, photo gallery or any specific app support. Forget about sharing through Safari, or any Google app which apple doesn’t think highly of.
-
Hardware Durability: If you want to buy the latest iPhone, choose from the two similar looking versions: 4.7 inches 6s and 5.5 inches 6s Plus. With Android, you have the luxury to choose the size, shape, look of your smartphone from a variety of manufacturers. Moreover, Android phones are lately made to survive from dust and water submerging. Try that on your iPhone 6s!
-
Application freedom: Every iPhone user knows the value of this one. Though there are some pre-installed apps by Apple, but its controlled iTunes store may limit some of your favourite apps from buying (or worse, downloading) on your iPhone. But with Android, you can run any APK file downloaded from the Google Play store, alternative stores or even shared on your own.
Although there may not be a clear winner as of now, yet Android’s marketing strategy “Get Together. Be different.” is making it a popular choice in the smart phone market. The difference between the two tech giants’ features is shrinking fast, but Apple has a lot of work to do in some domains in order to surpass high quality Android phone standards.
