Android vs. iPhone
The Apple iPhone has become one of the best-selling mobile phones worldwide, but it's not the only smartphone in town. Android devices have grown up over the last 18 months thanks to a diverse selection of mobile handsets packed with cutting edge hardware and technologies, an upgraded operating system, and an expansive platform of apps that continues to grow in number and quality.
Android Hardware
Device Selection, Impressive Hardware Driving Android Adoption
Because of Android's manufacturer diversity, you have more choice. There are more than 60 Android devices currently on the market - from top manufacturers like Samsung, Motorola, LG, and Sony - with several premium Android devices offering processor power, camera specs, and screen resolutions that meet or exceed what is available on iPhone 5. If the 4-inch screen of the iPhone 5 is too small, there are several Android-powered handsets that provide more screen real estate — from the 4.3-inch Motorola DROID RAZR MAXX to the 4.8-inch Samsung Galaxy S III or the super-sized 5.5-inch Samsung Galaxy Note II.
Android Operating System
Customizable Android OS Brings Sweet Improvements with Jelly Bean
While hardware specs are often touted upfront when talking about smartphones, it's the operating system software that gets the motor running. With the latest version of Android's operating system — Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean) — significant improvements have been made to a create smoother user interface with a more responsive touch experience.
Android 4.1 Jelly Bean also introduces Google Now, which not only enables you to ask your phone questions using natural language (like Apple's Siri) but can also deliver the info you need without asking in the first place. For example, Google Now can deliver updates on your favorite sports team, weather reports, public transport alerts, traffic conditions, and more based on your location, time of day, and previous usage patterns.
