Every person has different choices for what they look for in
a phone. Here are five features of Android phones that set it apart from the
competition.
1. Screen size
Android phones are coming in all shapes and sizes, making it
easy to search one that fits your needs. High-end Android phones are gradually
more coming out with larger and larger screens. The one of the best-selling Smartphone,
the Samsung Galaxy S3, its screen is up to 4.8 inch — 0.8 inches big than the
display on the iPhone 5.
The extremely likely Samsung Galaxy S4, due April, will have
a 5.0-inch of display. HTC's newest phone, the HTC One, has a 4.7 inch display.
These two gadgets are constantly battling for who has the latest and greatest
Android phone.
2. Widgets
Widgets permit you to quickly watch information on your home
screen, without the requirement to open an app. The capability to personally
tailor Android's home screen is one of its major drawbacks.

Reasons for iPhone is better than Android
Android and iOS (on the iPhone) are always head to head, battling
each other for the largest share of the U.S. Smartphone market. But comparisons
among the two smart phones show a number of ways in which iPhones excel.
By setting up widgets on your cell phone you can save precious
time and have your most accessed information on your home screen. If you search
yourself frequently checking your phone for calendar, a calendar widget on your
main screen saves you the time of clicking on your calendar app and waiting for
it to load. The similar can be done with almost any app — like email, Twitter
or text-messaging apps.
Android also permits the use of widgets on your lock screen.
The lock screen is what is initially shown when you press a button to turn on
the display — the primary thing you see when looking at your phone.
3. Changeable keyboard
Android permits its users to install and use whatever
keyboard they want. There are many types of keyboards available in the Google
Play Store, and whichever keyboard a user choose will work for all apps across
the numerous phones.
4. Google
Heavy users of Google's suite of online services will search
perfect integration on Android phones. For instance, during starting setup you
are asked to sign in with your Google account. This will synchronize the email,
calendar, notes, to-do lists and contacts kept with the online versions given
by Google.
Google Now, Google's all-in-one virtual assistant explained
by many sites as "combining the best of search with key information you'll
require to access quickly throughout the day," has been a huge hit.
5. Deep cross-app integration
Cross-app integration is something taken for arranged by long-time
Android users and something sorely ignored by Apple iPhone users. It is one of
the main areas where Android and iPhone vary the most.
Cross-app integration is the ability for single app to call
another and share all information with it. In Android, for instance, if person
have two calendar apps installed, they can click a link to an appointment in
any other app, and select which calendar app you would like it to open up.
Cross-app integration permits you to use any app as the
system default for that app type. Let's say one don't like the contact manager
that came with his/her gadget. They can download another one from the Play
Store and set it as the default contact manager. Now he/she never need to use
the one that came with the phone again.
Again, this is something Android clients are used to but
will be a welcome feature for those switching to Android from iOS.
