Android or iOS?

[pierslogic]

Up to what you prefer I guess. I had an iPhone until last year, switched to a Xperia S and I'm glad I did. Things were so much easier and enjoyable, but hey that's just me

New thread about popular group A vs popular group B inevitably incite flame wars.
Android vs iOS.
PC vs Mac.
PS3 vs Xbox 360.
Chelsea vs Manchester United.
People will flame about anything they want to.

 

[tatripp]

What flamewars are you people talking about? The man is just asking if you like iOS or Android. Dont talk about flame wars if you dont want them.

I agree. I do not see a flamewar.
I have to go with android though. You can just do so much more with it.
Iphones are cool though.

Pfft everybody knows that Symbian's the best. Always was and always will be. What are all of you smokin' O__O

I actually still use a Symbian handset and in many respects it's putting both Android and iOS to shame with its accessibility and mountains of software, most of which is free.

S60V3 MASTER RACE!

//Not really... Gotta get one of them sexy Androids...

 

[ThePowerOutage]

Whilst I use android and would never go back to iOS, I frequently frustrated at the low quality of most android apps, as well as the ridiculously bad AP. With my next phone I'll probably jump ship to WP8.

I am gonna buy an HTC Wildfire S soon, a cheap android phone, but good.

 

[thiefb0ss]

I prefer android. It has a better interface, more apps, and a lot more open.

iOS is the console compared to Android a PC...... for what it does with what it's got, iOS will beat a similar Android any day of the week... however, a high end Android machine, operated by someone who knows what they're doing, simply rules the roost! (I've got 2 of both in the house)

Anyone who thinks Android is clunky has not used it for two years.

iOS feels snappier and more "direct" to the point. It wins hands down in user-friendliness.

Android is more clunky (yes, I said it, PK) and requires more effort from the user to do the same stuff you can easily do on iOS.

That said, there are things I miss of iOS, and things I love of Android. To each his own.

Android for power users and iOS for people who prefer user friendliness and a rock-solid smartphone.

iOS strength is games, most relevant games are released exclusively for iOS unfortunately...

On the other hand, there are android phones from many companies, with different range of prices, different specs, etc... Also, Android is full of apps, many of them for free, and you have more freedom to use your device the way you want.

Between those two, Android is clear winner for being more open

Trufax, I was playing TWEWY Solo Remix before swapping my iPhone 4 with a S3, and I sorely miss it.

Also, more open means more issues. There's a friend of mine which has an S3 mini which crashes half of the time.

Android easily. Samsung S3 is really starting to get popular in the UK now, people realising iphone is shit. Infact it's been crowned the most popular handset for the ninth consecutive months.

lolwat. The iPhone is a great phone. People should stop hating on it just because.

Can you provide some examples?

I have to go thru hoops to add an appointment in my calendar Was a lot easier on iOS.

Doing it manually, going to the Calendar and press New Event seems to work for me. What's the procedure for you?

Huh, looks like the 4.1 update fixed it. I didn't have the Calendar icon before the FW upgrade. Only some funny S Appointment stuff or something.

A Galaxy phone?

That'll explain it.

Android hands down. No other way to go but pure Android with a Nexus device

 

[Langin]

I voted for Android, but I also really like iOS for its simplicity, both work really well, but I still prefer android over iOS because android is more for people who like customization. Apple their system is a bit too closed for my taste.

 

[jumpman1229]

If Apple could somehow work iOS to have more tweaks and customizations such as wigets, icons, battery and notification tray, etc., then perhaps it would not feel so restricted. It just gets way too old and boring

 

[Gh0sti]

iOS especially when its jailbroken otherwise I love the software i have an android tablet that im just not very fond of asus nexus 7 its great but i dont like the OS on it its laggy and slow compared to iOS especially with 4.2.2 jelly bean and a tegra 3 thought it would be smooth but no its laggy

Yeah, I'm not lucky enough to have Nexus 4s or stuff for sale here in Italy.
