Why are Android phones better than iPhone? Know 7 big reasons that will change your thinking

Nowadays, whenever someone goes to buy a new phone, a debate often breaks out between iPhone and Android. The iPhone is definitely a premium phone, but that doesn’t mean it’s the best for everyone. In fact, in many cases Android phones prove to be a better option than iPhone. Let us know the 7 main reasons which keep Android ahead of iPhone.

1. iPhone is very expensive- The price of iPhone is much more than Android phones. For 50-60 thousand rupees, you can get a top class Android phone (like Nothing Phone, Realme, Poco or Samsung), whereas for the same money you can get only the old model or basic variant of the iPhone. In Android you get more features at a lower price.

2. Complete freedom of customization- Apple allows you to make very few changes in the iPhone. Home screen, icons, themes, notifications – everything has to be done according to Apple’s rules. Whereas in Android, you can customize the entire phone as per your wish. Change the launcher, add icon packs, create a gaming mode or change the entire interface.

3. Android is better in battery and charging- Most Android phones have 5000mAh or more battery, whereas the battery in iPhone is smaller. Also, Android phones support 65W, 80W or 120W fast charging, due to which the phone gets fully charged in 20-30 minutes. Charging is still slow in iPhone.

4. More features and flexibility – Facility to insert memory card, dual SIM (triple SIM in some models), always on display feature, better zoom camera (10x optical zoom in some Android phones), foldable phone at cheap price. These features are either not available in iPhone or are very expensive.

5. App sideloading and freedom- You can download apps in iPhone only from Apple App Store. If there is no good app on the store then you cannot do anything. In Android, you can sideload apps other than the Play Store, which gives you more options.

6. Repair is very expensive. When an iPhone gets damaged, its repair is very expensive. A simple screen replacement may cost Rs 15,000 to Rs 30,000. At the same time, repair of Android phones is relatively cheap and service centers are easily available in most cities.

7. File management and storage- File management in iPhone is very limited. You can’t easily manage, transfer, or copy files to the SD card. In Android phone, you can easily handle everything through file manager, insert memory card and even connect pen drive.

iPhone is definitely good for premium build quality, long software support and status symbol, but if you want value for money, freedom, faster charging and more features then Android phone is a much better option than iPhone.

Ultimately the decision depends on your need and budget. If your budget is high and you want a simple, secure experience then you can buy iPhone, but if you want to save money and have more features then Android will be better.
