Hi people, android phones and i phones had been very famous these few years. Price wise, i phones still relatively cost more than an android phone does. However, I had no idea which one of them is better or the distinction between these two gadgets. Are they actually quite the same and it is because of apple brand that i phones are more expensive? Please share .

I've never using an iphone before and i doubt i can't have it in near future because of the price. But based on my opinion from seeing and hearing from my friends who have an iphone, iphone have a better graphic than an android. Usually for gamers, they will prefer iphone because of that. The games also almost similiar with handled games. So for gamers, they will probably prefer iphone more than android. Other than games, iphone and android have almost similiar application so there is not so much difference in that.

I wonder how frequently you have to charge your phone if you are mostly using it to play games with! Also.. if you love to play games that much isn't it smarter to buy a gamecube or something instead? Must be terrible annoying if you need your phone in case of emergency and the battery is empty because of the games you played!

Basically, the two phones gives you the same smartphone experience. iPhone uses iOS operating system while Android phones use Android OS. iPhone comes from apple only while Android based phones are from different manufacturers. I think, in comparison Android is more flexible than iPhone.

I prefer to Android cellphone much more because as you said, iPhone is much more expensive and I don't think it is really worthy. Android is another very popular cellphone operating system today. So this kind of cellphone shall be popular, too. And many brands offer Android cellphones and therefore you have more choices. It is not like iPhone, at present they only have iPhone 4S. And I don't like that you can't have backup battery for the iPhone. I am afraid the battery will be run out soon when I am outside and I need to find a place to charge my iPhone. It is very inconvenient. I love China

yes in my opinion iphone never worth for the price is sold...so if you choose other os or devices probably it cna be a balanced choice considering mobile phones or devices in general...you must consider that apple apply much limitions to softwares,features and licence for ther members so in the end an apple device as iphone will cost you really much money in relation to its copetitors so android phones for example or even others ...

Well it depends on the needs of the user. If someone needs a high performance smartphone he can't buy a cheep android phone but a more expensive one or an i-phone. If someone just needs a phone which is also able to run most of the apps plus being able to surf easily, a cheep android phone (as one that I have) is an excellent choice.

I think both the android phones and i phones are basically the same. They may have different operating system but their software is really just the same. Even the games they have too. For example the fruit ninja game has got android and i phones of it. Ah.. and yes, I do agree that the price of iphone is more expensive merely because of the product image that it has managed to built since years ago.

I have an android phone, and an ipod touch which is the same as the iphone, but without the calling feature. Since I have both systems, it is hard to decide which is better because they both have lots of apps, and that is what I like as well too. I have downloaded apps from both the my android smartphone, and the ipod. I don't know why iphones are so expensive since I don't have one, but I can tell you, the the battery in the iphone, wouldn't last as long as the one in the android smartphone. As far as their being any differences, it would basically be the operating systems that set them apart. Take care, and have a very good day.
