Lately I've seen quite a few interesting pieces. The leading manufacturers presented us with their flagships, which are absolutely flawless. We have not only Galaxy Notes 7, Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge, Google Pixel or LG G5 or HTC One (M9), but also competing iPhones 7. I would compare each newly introduced device to Mentos and 2-liter Coke - because a new discussion will literally explode on the Internet about which manufacturer has the best phone. Android! No, iOS! Galaxy S7! No, iPhone 7! The debate then goes on and on.
In this article, I don't want to focus on the hardware, but on the operating system as such. I believe this is the best way to compare Android a iOS telephones. Everything was written exactly as I feel it from my own experience.
Choices, choices, and more choices
If you choose a device with a system Android, you will have in your hands a thing that has an infinite number of possibilities - do you want a phone that takes extraordinary quality pictures? Then you reach for the phone, whose advantage is the camera. Do you want a rugged phone that can withstand big, hard drops? Want a phone that has a Quad HD screen? Android phones cover the entire range of categories, so you always have a choice.
That's the beauty Androidu, you buy exactly the one that suits you. And what iPhone? Well, it's just iPhone. You only get what it offers. Yes, sure. You can choose between 3 versions of the phone that just have a different size or slightly changed hardware, but that's it. Camera, display, internal hardware, and so on. You can find all this in the basic model as well. For example, it is not possible to buy iPhone with a high-resolution camera, such as the Sony Xperia Z5 s Androidem.
Customization
My favorite part of the operating system Android is clearly its ability to adapt. Don't like the standard keyboard? OK! Just download a third-party app to replace it. Don't like the full launcher that runs on your phone? Simply download the new launcher. You want yours Android looked like Windows Phone? Not a problem.
Apple it likes a simple and user-friendly environment for a change, which is perfectly fine. But from the version iOS 8 he copied many things from the competitor Androidu – widgets, cloud photo sync, third-party keyboards, health apps – it had it all Android since the beginning.
Hardware
I believe that it is the hardware category that will really start the whole debate among users Androidua iOS. People could argue all day about which software (operating system) is better. But when it comes to hardware, it's as if the ground has collapsed after the debate. We have compared iPhone 7 Plus a Galaxy S7 Edge, as these are the current flagships of two of the best manufacturers.
Always keep in mind that Galaxy The S7 Edge was introduced in March last year, while iPhone 7 Plus in September 2016. So it is clear that iPhone is 6 months newer. You can read their hardware specifications in the table below:
| Apple iPhone 7 Plus | Samsung Galaxy s7 edge | |
