Who knew operating systems could be so polarizing? Let’s settle this debate.
At one point or another, we’ve all gotten into a heated debate with someone over whether Android or iOS was better. The Android vs. iPhone debate has been raging for years and will probably continue for a long time to come. But why is it so hard for us all to agree on which operating system is truly better? Today, Straight Talk gets to the nitty-gritty about why some people love iOS and some people love Android.
Comparing the features
In the past, an argument could be made that one operating system offered something the other didn’t. But now, both Android and iOS are fairly comparable in almost all areas — they just have their own ways of doing things.
For example, both operating systems offer Cloud services, accessibility features, app stores, high-quality cameras, voice assistants, reliable security, and plenty of other key features. In general, however, it seems like most users can agree that iOS is more streamlined, whereas Android is more customizable. Still, it’s just a matter of what system you like using better, and sometimes, the grass might just look greener on the other side.
Galaxy vs. iPhone
Both phones have a lot to offer both your personal and work life.
To get a closer look at the differences, let’s do a direct comparison between the latest Android, the Samsung Galaxy S9, and the latest iPhone, the iPhone Xs. The Galaxy has more color options and a longer battery life, while the iPhone has a larger storage capacity and more camera zoom functionality.
Speaking of cameras, the Apple iPhone Xs boasts a dual camera setup, compared to the single camera of the Galaxy S9. However, the S9 does feature excellent low-light capabilities thanks to its Dual Aperture lens. As for the screen size, the S9 and Xs are pretty similar. But when you step back and look at the complete lineup, the iPhone Xs Max wins this round with a massive 6.5-inch screen.
As you can see, both devices have a lot to offer both your personal and work life. It’s just a matter of deciding what phone and operating system work best for you. If you’re not happy with the one you currently use, it might be time to jump ship. And if all your other devices, like tablets and laptops, use the same OS, you might want to select a phone that uses it, too. That way, you can easily keep all your devices connected.
