IPHONE VS ANDROID WHICH ONE IS BETTER?
When it comes to mobile phones, there's always a lot of debate about which one is better – and the answer has often been "it depends".
In a nutshell, if you're on a tight budget and don't care too much about playing games or taking pictures then an iPhone is the way to go. However, if you want all your devices synced together and are willing to pay more than £130 for an Apple device then Android is your best option.
Before we dive into the details, let's look at some of the differences between Apple's iPhone 4S and Samsung's Galaxy S2.
iPhones:
The most popular smartphone device in the world is Apple's iPhone 4S. The reason for this is that it has a large amount of application support and offers excellent value for money due to its low price point. Features such as Siri and MMS come as standard on all new iPhones, which makes sending messages or taking photos a breeze.
One of the main reasons why iPhone is preferred over other smartphones is because of Apple's iTunes software. Having your music, videos and photos synced in one place makes it so easy to travel with your favourite entertainment. This also means that you can plug your phone directly into a computer and transfer anything you need onto it without any additional software or costs.
Although there are cheaper Android smartphones, the operating system doesn't have the same level of support as iOS. This problem is amplified in countries where Apple has been popular for longer than other regions (such as China), meaning that Android ROMS and applications aren't always available for download.
Another reason why iOS is preferred over Android is because of its customisation options. You can alter your iPhone to suit your own needs, choosing from an array of different colours, as well as customising the way certain features look.
Although the iPhone 5 is new, it lacks many of the great features that were present on previous models. For instance, it doesn't have a removable battery that means you can take the phone apart and repair any issues that occur in-house. This can be very useful if you're not comfortable taking it to a repair shop.
The iPhone 4S is a great choice for those who just want to use it as a phone and don't need applications or customisation options.
Android:
Although there's no official word from Google about when the next Android version will be released, leaks are showing us that it will most likely be called Jellybean. Planning an Android device better, Google has made it possible for manufacturers to make customised versions of their phones using different software, widgets and themes. Although this gives manufacturers more freedom, you should still buy from the original manufacturer if you can. They're the only ones qualified to provide technical support for them because they've been around longer than any other company.
When it comes to customisation, Samsung's Galaxy S2 is one of the easiest devices to personalise. This makes it perfect for business users and people who want a phone that's completely unique. Thanks to its removable battery and ties with Dropbox, the S2 is ideal for people who want to be able to install applications on their own or sync the device with other computers in their home.
Samsung's Touchwiz software also means that users can get extra widgets and shortcuts in order to make it easier to change settings or add more apps. This makes the S2 better than most other Android phones available today.
The S2 is also very similar to the iPhone 4S, with a large amount of applications support and an intuitive iTunes software. This means that you can plug it into a computer and transfer everything you need onto it without additional costs.
If you want to personalise your Android phone or take advantage of all its features, then the Galaxy S2 is perfect for you. However, if you prefer to go out and buy a device based on your own needs and expectations then the iPhone 4S is the one for you.
