Which Is Best-Android or Iphone or Windows Phone? 0

Mobile phone Industry has been getting extreme boom after the successful introduction of iPhone by Apple Computers which is the most luxurious phone. After the launch of Iphone, Google came up with its Android Operating System. Googles Android Operating System is most popular among Smartphone users because of its Android Market. Android OS is an open Source Operating System. So this attracts many developers and also mobile phone manufacturers like Samsung,HTC,LG,Motorola etc. After Google's android OS, Microsoft Corporation entered Smartphone market by launching Window Operating System Phones.

Android Phones are cheaper than iPhones. But there are High price Android Phones like Samsung galaxy Still phone with Android ice cream sandwich operating system version. Nokia and Microsoft jointly launched Nokia Lumia Series in 2011. Nokia was using its own Symbian operating system till the launch of Lumia Series. Symbian Operating System is about to wind up. Now Nokia is about to launch Windows 8 Smartphones.


Android live wallpapers,android widget,flash for android,android flash player,android tethering,facebook for android,twitter for android,frequent android updates,google maps in android,swype in android etc are some of the features of Android.

Mobile Phone manufactures like Android because of high popularity and good market place. Among the Android versions, Gingerbread and Icecream Sandwich are most popular. Android Icecream Sandwich is available for Tablets too. Androids merits are listed below

Opensource

Lots of Apps for Android than any other OS

Can Third party Apps too

Good user interface and it can be customised

Anything having some merits will definitly have some demerits too. Almost every Android Phone has Battery Backup Problem. Even in highly configured Android phones, processing is slow and it is also a demerit of Android.

Now we can check different features in details

Widgets: Android Widget is similar to shortcut of an app. It is located in home screen and can do some functions of the original App with out opening that app directly. Users can customize the size,position and identity of these Widgets. In my Sony Xperia Neo V, i have weather widget and some Shortcuts. It is shown here.

Navigation:Androids Map is integrated with Turn by turn Navigation with Spoken direction, "Layers" to see traffic and terrain of a location. Android users can also see satellite photographs of places and it is a plus point for Android.

Text Input/Correction:In my opinion, Android has much effective Text Input/Correction scheme than Windows OS and iOS. Swype Keyboard, which comes with Android IceCream Sandwich is an exciting feature for an one hand typist.

'Back' And 'Menu' Button: Apple's iPhone has only one button, which brings to Home screen. Android comes with Three Buttons. They are Back button,Home Button and App Switcher Button. Windows OS also provides Three Buttons such as Back Button,Search Button and a Camera Launch Button.

Google Services: Do u love Google and its Services? Android OS is integrated with Gmail, Google Reader, Gchat, Google Talk, Google Calendar and every other Google service. So Android is a best option for Google Lovers.

Integration with Other Apps: Android can import contacts from Facebook,Gmail etc. It can also connect to twitter, Google+, Tumblr etc.

Google Play Store/Market:Google has spent huge time and money for establishing its App market, Google Play Store. But it is not superior or equal to iTunes Store, which is higly secure for users. Google Play store is always susceptible to Malwares and other unwanted Apps. Windows phone marketplace is very secure and has many good apps too.
Beauty: Many users say that Android phones are ugly and among Android phones, HTC have much good design. In my opinion Sony Ericson(now Sony) also have good design Smartphones.

Touch: iPhones and Windows Phone have good touch screens compared to Android phones. But in highly configured Android phone, the difference is invisible
