Why samsung is better than apple

Both Apple and Samsung offer good smartphones for any budget, offering some really incredible features in each. After purchasing a smartphone, the after-sale service is just as important. With software needing updates for optimum performance, the hardware may need some updating too, should anything happen to the housing or other external parts.

Samsung parts can be expensive as well but repair costs can actually be cheaper than an iPhone repair. Both are exceptional phone companies, both offering incredible benefits when using their smartphones. The key to a great smartphone is that it works seamlessly for its user. This would mean its certain needs are met, and it would then depend whether Apple meets those needs with their iPhone more than it does Samsung with their Galaxy. The iPhone does look like a very formidable brand that offers incredibly premium smartphones both for its hardware and software.

The Galaxy smartphones offer something for everyone, no matter the budget or the individual needs. In the end, it is how the smartphone is used by the user to its full potential. Do not reproduce without permission. Apple iPhone vs. Some people prefer Android since it is on a variety of devices. The Android interface is more customizable and gives users much more freedom.

Features like Bluetooth, Expandable external storage enables Android to be more versatile for some general users. The One UI is easy to use and with bundles of features. Repairs on Galaxy phones are more user friendly.

Apple on the other hand is known for not allowing removable parts in their iPhones. Apple forces users to go to a Apple Authorized Repairer or the Apple Store, which may not be accessible everywhere. Samsung do better job in providing easy to install parts.

As Samsung runs on Android OS. Or at least pull off well before anyone else. Other companies have attempted to copy Face ID, but none have succeeded. Animoji and Memoji are other examples of Apple hardware and software working seamlessly together. Samsung's equivalent, AR Emoji, seems like a half-baked effort by comparison. Despite all the promises by Android phone makers to streamline their skins, the iPhone remains the easiest phone to use by far.

Some may lament the lack of change in the look and feel of iOS over the years, but I consider it a plus that it works pretty much the same as it did way back in Pick it up, turn it on, touch the app to open.

Of course, Apple has folded in enhancements over the years, such as Siri and Control Center. Wth iOS 11, Apple added the ability to edit Live Photos, send payments to friends in the Messages app and organize files via a proper Files app which is way overdue considering that Android has had files access from the start. Expect the improvements to continue with iOS 13 this fall. This is going to hurt a little, Android fanboys. As of February , a whopping 83 percent of all iOS devices introduced in the last 4 years were using iOS 12, according to Apple.

Google hasn't even published adoption rate numbers for the latest Android Pie as of April And it took about a year for the older Android Oreo to get to just 19 percent penetration.

The problem is this: With the exception of pure Android phones like the Pixel 3, the Samsng's and LG's of the world have to jump through more hoops to bring you the latest version of Google's OS.

Plus, phone makers typically drag their feet on updating older phones. The situation is getting better, but not fast enough. If you own a compatible iPhone, you can update to the latest version of iOS on the day it's released or close to it, depending on how Apple's servers stand up to the strain. This dynamic isn't going to change anytime soon.

Now that both iOS and Android have millions of apps in their stores, the arms race is over, right? Not really. The iPhone is still favored by developers as the launch platform of choice for the hottest new apps. The Google Play store is like the Netflix of app stores; it gets the hits, but usually after they see their first run on iOS.

Every single event that Apple holds where they announce new iPhones or an update to iOS, I always get excited hoping for something new and innovative. This is a fine strategy and it works for them, however, I miss the days when Apple would surprise the masses of people with new innovative features. This somewhat ties in with the Customization section, but Widgets have long been a huge advantage of Android over iOS.

Having widgets on my Android home screens is one of my favorite things about Android. Funny enough, Apple finally decided that having widgets on your home screen was more beneficial than they thought and announced the feature with iOS 14 in Android offers all sorts of widgets that you can put onto your home screens.

These widgets might be anything from a custom clock, weather, alarms, direct calls to contacts in your phone, flashlight, email, messages, and so much more. You can arrange these any which way on your home screens and have your home screens be exactly the way you want them. You simply open up the multitask window and you can drag two apps that you want to use at the same time in the appropriate boxes see the picture above. For example, I am watching a YouTube video while accessing my file system at the same.

Perhaps you want to watch a lecture video while taking notes right below the video? Or, watch a video while texting your friends? Go for it. Since Android has had multitasking for so long and does it so well, they still take the cake over iOS. The majority of Android phones offer expandable memory. That means you can pop open an additional slot on the side of your phone and put in a micro SD card which then becomes added memory to your phone.

What does Apple do? Well, they have never offered expandable memory for the iPhone. Instead, they would rather you pay them an unwarranted amount of money to upgrade your iPhone from the base 64GB capacity to one with GB or GB of internal storage. Are you serious? My phone now has GB of capacity, and how much did that cost me?

The serviceability of Android phones has been better meaning easier and less expensive than iPhones for a long time now. Some Android phones still today have a removable battery that you yourself can take out and replace or service to your liking. After you use any phone for a while, the lithium-ion battery inside of it will start to lose its original capacity.

Once they go through enough charge cycles, they are only able to hold a certain percentage of their original capacity. If you were to try changing the battery yourself or had a non-Apple-certified store service it, then you can say goodbye to your AppleCare warranty which already costs an arm and a leg.

If your Android phone has a removable battery, you can just go on Amazon and buy a generic battery for whatever type of phone you have and pop it in. All hail USB chargers! They are the standard charger for countless devices out there including Android phones.

What does Apple have? Well, they decided to make their own chargers called lightning cables. Not only are these different and only usable for Apple devices, but they tend to be extremely low quality.

Why would Apple do this, you ask? Because it makes them more money. Plus, when your Apple charger goes bad, you have to fork over even more of your hard-earned money to buy a new one. Have a look for yourself at the reviews:. This is extremely, extremely shady. Apple, please be ethical and allow product reviews on your pages again so people can make an informed purchase.

Back when Apple actually showed product reviews on their pages as any company should , these are what the ratings were:. The above Apple chargers were rated an average of 1. Once again, borderline thievery.

All of the major Android phones have a dedicated physical back button. Or, nowadays, an in-screen dedicated back button. This has always been a huge advantage in my eyes of Android phones over iPhones. With phone screens getting larger again, reaching up in the upper-left every single time to hit a back button is neither simple nor intuitive.

With Android phones, the back button sits at the very bottom of the screen where your fingers are already resting. Also, Androids are very customizable, remember? So, do you want the back button on the left side, center, or right side of the screen?

Switch it with the tap of an option. All in all, both Android phones and iPhones have their advantages and disadvantages. I could write an article about how an iPhone is better than an Android as well, but the Android advantages way overpower the advantages that you get with an iPhone in my opinion.

If you enjoy the advantages listed in this article such as having an abundance of phone choices, customization, better hardware, and expandable memory just to name a few, go with an Android phone. Samsung, LG, Sony, and other major companies have started to outdo Apple, especially in the hardware department, and Apple has some catching up to do if they hope to keep competing with other flagship phones. The best part is, all of these companies coming out with great phones constantly heats up the competition, and competition is great for us consumers.

Competition is what brings us these cutting-edge technologies, phones, operating systems, and prices at such a fast pace. Jake is the founder of Crambler.

All that height is not used by my and i use my phone a LOT!!! The only reason I can see a use is for videos but would use a pc or tablet I can see that the specs for an android are a LOT better than for an android power ram camera processor etc etc Plllleeeease android phone suppliers make us a 4. Hey Brian! I appreciate you bringing this up. There are tons of flagship Android phones that are much cheaper when you compare feature for feature. Or even check out the OnePlus 8T. I hated the phone with iphone looks on it.

Andriod nailed iphone. I love my galaxy s9plus, a phone with no issues. I owned Galaxy S2 and then upgraded later to S5. It was fun, but became sluggish after a couple of months.

Then later I switch to IPhone 5, and boy! I was impressed with performance! If you are going to compare specs of it vs the latest flagship devices for Android from its time, you know its underpowered. But when you actually experience it. You will know the difference in performance, even after 2 years! No performance degradation that I can remember. I tried a lot of customizations, including changing fonts, launchers, and tested variety of ROMs.

But later, I went back to stock Samsung ROM, because it felt worst than the stock in terms of performance. For the camera — even with my former iPhone 5 — I was already satisfied with it.

For the battery? For external storage? As for water resistance — the latest and recent iPhones now have it as well — so no contest here anymore. It simply works and performs well as you expect it, no ifs no buts. Great article! I have the S10 now and was an apple user for 10 years. While the camera is better, Samsung service is no where near Apple service. If you travel, Apple is the way to go hands down.

If something happens to your phone, you can go in any Apple store and the warranty is good. I was not aware that Samsung only warranties their phone in the country purchased. So, if something happens to your phone while you are on vacation or a work trip, be prepared to pay out of pocket for all repairs. Told me that it was under warranty in the country of purchase but if I needed it fixed right away that is what I had to pay.

To me…. Hi Jennifer, thanks for the comment! Android phones have the best cameras to date right now with the Google Pixel leading the pack. That should be based on your carrier and what connection you have with it.

Insurance on a phone can be provided by the phone manufacturer itself, carriers Verizon, US Cellular, etc or even third-party companies. Good luck on your journey back to Apple! Apple takes it seriously. Yes I did order the New 11 Pro phone and it has even better security features. Get an android if your that geeky and like to play with technology. Yes, security has been a key focus for Apple for a long time.

Hopefully the new iPhone 11 Pro works well for you! Thanks for your input. Privacy and security is a fallacy Apple want you to believe. I feel embarrassed for you. Apple has the skill to manufacture premium bodies for their products and a tradition of slightly low hardware specs and with that said, you only buy apple if you intend to be adored by others but truly speaking you will be holding an empty apple.

Android Knows very well that people are different and leave a room for you to choose your taste, quality and style. Apple is prestigious and android is a window to endless possibilities. Hi Dom, thanks for the comment. The gesture system in iOS is beautiful. Everything is fluid and intuitive. Obviously being a developer you must realize how genuinely shit the iPhones are.

There for small minded incompetence folks who cant use a computer. Android is a computer. Apple still is a smart-phone or at least it thinks it is. Keeping fooling yourself and read the specs on that phone. Thank you for this informative article it is very neutral and not bias in any way. My Note 9 sounds like crap though spotify vs iPhone on the same app lol. Just use what suit your needs people and quit arguring about which is better because at the end of the day all our phones will be outdated with in a year.

Hi Spence! Thanks for the comment. Absolutely agree with you. It will be a vast improvement over the mediocre messaging systems Android phones have had all these years. In the end, as you said, people should use whatever phone suits their needs.

Really appreciate your insight! I love it and it has end to end encryption and you can sync to a pc and do backups to Google drive. WhatsApp is fantastic!

Probably my favorite messaging app for Android. Yes, this is what iPhone owners need to read! The people in my family who have iPhones find loads of problems like low storage space, bad battery life whereas the ones with android phones including me, i have motorola one never ever experience problems!

Hi, Joseph! Low storage space tends to be a more common problem for iPhones since the base storage is generally lower than phones like the Samsung Galaxy S10 and iPhones have never had the ability to add an external SD card. Therefore, you have to purchase iCloud storage instead. I have tried an IPhone in the past. I would never use an IPhone again. Hi, Belinda! I just purchased it a couple of months ago and the number of customization options it has is incredible. These points are not really a reasonable explanation, and closer to a blatant attack.

Yes, both phones have their own advantages and disadvantages. This common argument is more like comparing apples to oranges no pun intended. However, I do not view Android phones as bad, rather, just another smartphone out there. When making an argument, I would consider looking at both sides of the issue rather than just finding and and every way your side is better than the other. Thank you for taking the time to write the article! It was very… entertaining. Hi, Tyler! I appreciate you stopping by and giving your opinion.

Saying that this article is a blatant attack makes you just seem butthurt when the whole point of the article is to list off key reasons as to why he thinks android phones have better features than iPhones. I find your comment very… entertaining. Alot of it is factual. You are controlled by what apple wants and no freedom to do what you want to do. I learned my lesson a while back that apple is greedy and want to monetise everything.

I am currently using iphone because my samsung was too old, i was using it for like 5 years or so, and my father gave his iphone to me. And i regret it so much. And I am so pissed, that I can cry. If this happened with samsung there were so many options how to open your phone, without losing all data.

Seriously, I love samsung and I agree with all the above advantages. Everything is much more simplier with android, ios just makes things harder. Thank you for your comment, Amelia! Do you mind me asking what ways you opened your Samsung phone without knowing a password?

He neglects to mention that android phones do not outperform the newest iPhones when put through actual tests. All the ram and cpu power for androids looks good but keep in mind that apples silicon has always run better with their iPhones. Androids are completely different machines that need why looks on paper to be superior. Long term usage definitely show how android devices do not hold up compared to older iPhones.

Hi, Justin. I have watched several videos on performance comparisons between the latest Android phones and iPhones. Yes, Apple has some higher benchmark scores, especially in the single-threaded category. However, several Android phones do get higher benchmarks in multi-threaded tasks due to their octa-core processors and such. Regardless, the numbers these phones are getting are so close together that no average user is going to notice a difference in performance. This is true when considering the debacle with Apple devices with the latest update having a glitch where if someone used facetime to contact you, they could see and hear you without you answering the call.

Absolutely agree with you, Jayden. Take the iCloud hack where many photos were leaked on the Internet or the latest Apple debacle that you mentioned where you could listen in on a FaceTime call without the person actually answering the call. Companies can preach about privacy, but there will always be mistakes made in the software that allow unauthorized breaches. Hi Calvin!

I watched your entire video and really enjoyed it. Thanks for the comment! I would always go with Android with iphone not just because of the various features you compared. But, mainly because of the price. Will consider purchasing iphone, if they ever consider manufacturing them in India to cut down the price. They have been on an upward trend for pricing for several years now.

You get much more bang for your buck by purchasing an Android phone over an iPhone. I have never solidly stay on apple, I will always go back to Android since you can get a Samsung then a Google Pixel, or any google device and still have your data with the Play store app.

Samsung for life!!! You are comparing way to broad of a spectrum. It would be iOS vs android or Apple vs Samsung. Millions of phones run Android, and only iPhones run iOS. Hi Kevin! Thanks for stopping by. However, I wanted to write an article comparing iPhones to all other Android phones with an emphasis on the large Android flagship phones such as the Samsung Galaxy S10 and their hardware.

I hope that helps clear things up. Also, Apple has all their buttons around the wrong way, e. Cancel OK, Hang up Answer, etc. This alone has kept me away! Thank you! Now all I must do is wait until thanksgiving for a nice sale! What about iCloud, how would I be able to transfer all of my photos and data from my iPhone over to an Android? Hi Josh. One idea for your photos would be to download all of your photos from iCloud onto a PC and plug your Android phone into the PC to transfer them there.

I absolutely love the new Android 9. Thanks, mate. Hi Joe! I appreciate the comment. You choose any apple device for your privacy… android devices do not allow you this priveledge. You gotta be joking.. Comparing an iPhone 5s battery to a much newer Samsung is like comparing a flintlock with a modern era g36c. Also this is an extremely biased review as you never mention anything that Apple does better such as wireless acceroises and like god of memes suggested the iPhone X is so much faster than the Samsung s9.

Thanks for stopping in! Apart from the fact that iPhones use extremely advanced software to analyse photos before you take them and not filter them and also iPhones have Face ID and are much faster than any android phones. I am a samsung user for the past 5 years, and i am damn proud of it. I will never buy an iphone, too crappy for my interests and style. A very sanitized and detailed analysis.

I still have my Galaxy S5 from , which does everything I need it to and more. I find Android more efficient than iOS, and personally dislike the iOS interface considering my preferred apps pardon my French, but Safari sucks.

Hi Jimbo, thanks for the comment! The S5 was one of my favorite phones! Also, Safari does tend to fall behind some of the more modern browsers which is why I almost always use Chrome or Firefox. Thanks for the comment, Naz! Batteries can be hit or miss in my experience. The batteries that phones use all will lose a percentage of their original capacity as time passes on. I have as well. You have explained it perfectly. Thanks for letting me rant LOL. Hey Dragonvrod! I completely agree with your comment.

I do wish that Samsung had a good watch to pair with a phone. I do love that Android has that option. The physical back button on Android phones is one of my favorite perks! Thanks for stopping by, I appreciate it! Who cares about a watch lol were talking about a phone.. We dont need a overpriced watch , that for people that like to look cool. This is millions dollar question which is better, Android or iPhone. Here you describe the whole matter very beautifully.

I personally think that Android is way better than iPhone because of its features and user-friendly version. Wow,,,,,,I was thinking of going for the iPhone 7 but I think s7edge will be More better,,,,,,,,,,,, thanks for this. Yes it may be delicate and very expensive but way bettter then those poorly made androids. As tempting as their cheep phones are i am not going to buy any of them sorry android lovers but your phones are crap and this is my opinion.

Hi, Doug. Thanks for leaving a comment. You mention Android phones being filled with bloatware and spyware. As far as bloatware goes, that is completely determined by which carrier if any that you purchase your phone from. Verizon, for example, has a specific app for messages. I have 2-year old android phone, which is not so fast now. So last week I switched to iPhone. There is not BACK button. There is not custom keybord and I must learn apple keyboard layout. Touch ID and passcode ID are required both sometimes.

Some of my favourite apps do not exist in apple store, there are too much sign-ins for the same thing… and many more cons…. It is quite different and too minimal. It makes me confused. It is just too late to switch to iOS. And it does not worth the time and efforts…. Hi Dimitar, I appreciate you sharing your story.
