The war between the two popular mobile operating systems, Android and iOS is never-ending. While one offers more security, other brings in more customisation options. It usually comes down to user preference. So, here are the top 5 reasons why you should prefer an Android phone over an Apple iPhone.
Variety
When you look out for an Android phone, you will be astonished by the number of options in front of you. From Rs. 3,000 to Rs. 80,000, there are a variety of smartphones available. Also, you can choose between something like Poco F1, which offers great value for your money or even the OnePlus 6T, which comes with an in-display fingerprint scanner.
Customisations
The number of customisations an Android phone offer is leaps and bounds ahead of what iOS could ever offer. If you are bored of just how your home screen looks, you can just head over to the Play Store and download a new launcher and even new icon packs. While Apple fanboys will argue that Jailbreaking an iPhone opens up the world of customisations, remember not everyone likes to take that risk. Also, there are dozens of custom ROMs and kernels if you really want to experiment with the capabilities of your device.
Notifications
One thing that Android has always been better at is the way it handles notifications. A simple task like swiping away a notification feels way easier and natural when compared to iOS. Also, there are individual actions for the notifications and bundled notifications help in keeping things clean.

Multi-Tasking
As smartphones are getting more powerful, people like to perform multiple tasks at once. Multi-tasking on Android is way better than iOS as it offers split-screen mode and an option to clear all the background apps together.
Apps
Android offers millions of applications and games on its Google Play Store. It also gives users the liberty of easily sideloading any application, which is quite helpful for developers. There are even apps that allow users to lock other apps, which is not available on iOS.
