10 Ways Android still beats the new iPhone 5

I know a way it doesn't: battery life

Speak for yourself. My 3VO can easily last a whole day for me with pretty heavy use.

Are we pretending Motorola doesn't make phones? More specifically ones with a Maxx attached to its name ... but seriously, the 4S wasn't exactly known for its battery life.
I'm actually curious to see "real world" battery life after the first two-three weeks on the i5.

That may have been your personal experience. Mine is completely different.

Most of the time battery life is determined by the apps installed. I know people that can't go two hours without running their battery out. I also know people that can go 16 hours on a single charge. This is true with both Android and iPhones.

But, here's the difference: The iPhone people always carry a charger and look around for AC outlets when they enter a place. You can tell the iPhone people at a party because they're the ones hovering around the wall outlet. As an Android user I keep an extra battery in my pocket. I haven't used it in over a month because I easily get 12-14 hours out of my GNex, but I never, ever think about an AC outlet because I know there's another 14 hours of battery life in my pocket.

High end Android phones have big screen... don't be surprised if you have to pay attention to keeping your phone charged...

No phone has it all... iPhone users complain about having to compensate for lag issues... big screen phone users have to accept that we have to take power into account.. remember to charge up and you'll do fine

Get real. Who cares if an app is built-in or 3rd party. In fact, 3rd party apps get more updates and are easier to uninstall. Both Android and iOS are all about 3rd party apps. There's nothing wrong with that.

I have used the built in panorama on the iPhone and its smooth and effortless. Apple can certainly take credit for perfecting the feature.

No but you can believe what you wish

Obviously you didn't follow Obama's election. He can thank the left wing media for that. ONE conservative news program gets bashed by those who suck down all the liberal trash from Huffington post and 50 others.

What lag issues? I have had zero since I went from Android to iPhone.

Glad to hear it. Not everyone experiences or notices all issues.... lag is a relative concept...

This does not really feel like the place for me to discuss this ... but you may want to reconsider reaching such a fast conclusion about my knowledge ( or lack thereof) on a subject I have hardly discussed.

Uh, that's not true. My iPhone 4S got far better battery life than my GS3. I have to carry around an extra battery because its so pathetic. I never had to carry around my charger for my iPhone. The problem is that android isn't efficient at managing hardware and software, iOS is. Period, it's a fact.

Yeah but you're comparing a gs3 to a phone which has a pretty small screen...

Maybe the attacks on Obama is he has a Iphone, who knows.

Interesting article and good for a laugh, and but I learned not to get in to it with the isheep. Regardless of what specs or hardware you bring up many of them just snub their nose at you and claim their Iphone is far superior to whatever android device you're using at the time. It's very frustrating so I've learned to stay away.

And yet you spend your time in an Android forum trying to validate your choice of an iPhone. Very strange, indeed.

 

[habanophile]

The thing I love is how the iclone users will claim everyone wants a 5 because of their "outdated tech". I'm like, dude, your BRAND NEW phone is completely outdated at INCEPTION!
