What do you prefer?

I have an iPhone and never had a Android so I can't really compare.

I also have never had an Android; i have had an iPhone since the 3G. But it seems to be an ongoing debate for some reason? What's the pros of an Android?? I would like to know.

Android phones are simply better products these days.

 

They're more customizable. Also, you can add GB to my Samsung phone at any time by adding a SD card. I added 32 gb for just over $20.

 

Battery is removable so you can buy a spare and have it on stand by.

 

The switch from Apple to Samsung wasn't hard. Took me 20 minutes to move 2000 songs from iTunes to another program and then to my phone.

 

My camera is better than any iPhone I've ever seen. I have a 16 mp camera.

 

With the note if you want to add something to your calendar you use the s pen and you can hand write it...then the phone will add it all to your calendar seamlessly.

 

There's more. I'd at least go in to a store and talk to someone. I went to best buy and their Samsung guy was awesome.

Just got the new Galaxy Note 4 about a week ago. Absolutely love it. I'm still learning all the different features.

 

HB20 is right about the customization and expandability options. Much easier than an iPhone. Camera is unreal.

I agree with most of this. However, not everything you list is a plus--

 

1. Not all Android phones have removable batteries. Many do, but for example the HTC 1 M8 does not. And most people nowadays with the available portable chargers, and the fact that people rarely keep a phone for more than a year or two, the need to be able to replace a battery is less important. It's still nice to have, but for most, probably not a gamebreaker.

 

2. Being able to use Micro SD to increase storage is great. However, the most recent update of Kit Kat makes SD cards play less nice with your phone. I won't detail everything....here is an article that does it much better than I could. KitKat and SD cards ? what's fixed, what's broken and what's misunderstood | Android Central. Now there are workarounds, but still it's kind of a pain in the you know what.

 

I've said it before....I own both (Iphone for work, Android for personal) and really like both. I still say Iphone has the cleaner, easier to use interface. Power users, geeks and customizers will love Android. I hated the previous Androids I owned, up until I got the HTC One M8. Now I'm 50/50...some days I prefer Android, others I prefer IPhone. I think I give my Android phone a slight edge. But I'd be perfectly happy with either one.

Oh were starting this again :lol2:. Hurry and post negative things about Apple before the horde arrives.

Plain and simple. HB20 got into details. I work for Verizon so I deal with this every day. I tell everyone the same thing. If you want a better phone (better battery, better screen, better camera, better everything really) you go Android. If you want a smart phone but you want that smart phone to be as simple and easy as possible to use go Apple.

 

Your top Android devices right now are HTC One M8, LG G3, Galaxy S5, Note 4. Go one of those phones and you can thank me later.

I've been firmly on the iPhone train for a while but this really isn't the day to ask me as I am currently very angry with my phone (and cell provider). I'm still a year away from the end of my contract, but I may actually consider moving off the iPhone this next time. This is my second one and I haven't enjoyed the experience nearly as much as the first go-round. The WiFi reliability on this one SUCKS.

I have a Galaxy S5 and have zero problems with my SD card. It was so easy to install and move music to.

 

I've owned both as well. I owned every other iPhone from the iPhone 3G to the iPhone 5. The iPhone is easy to use, if that's what you are in to, but there are so many more things you can do with a Samsung phone. (I can't speak for other Androids) If you want to do something, you can do it. If the phone doesn't already have it installed, you can download it. That's why I like my Samsung.

I just switched to an iPhone 5s last week from a VERY old Android. I made the switch because I also have an iPad Mini and wanted ease of use, syncing, and consistency. I took advantage of Verizon's $100 offer per smartphone user for old Cincinnati Bell users.

I don't disagree with anything you've said. There are two things I prefer about my HTC 1 compared to my work iphone. One, is the Swype keyboard. So much faster to use when texting. As far as I've been able to find, there is no equivalent on the Iphone. 2, I've installed a custom launcher and I've been able to set up my icons and widgets in a way that makes sense and works well with how often I use them. I like having control over how my screen looks and operates. Again, though, I'd be perfectly happy if I was stuck with either one.

I love my Droid Maxx. Great camera, lots of great apps (can find occasional paid versions for free on the Amazon App store). Very durable also. I've never had a case and have not had so much as a scratch on the two droids I've owned the last 3 years (knock on wood).
