Before I panic, my phone will still be the iPhone but for a few days I will park it in the drawer and it will stay off. Instead I am going to use an Android smartphone to check the advantages and shortcomings of each of the operating systems today.
This is something that I have wanted to do for a long time but have never been given a chance and when I have had it, the Android phone did not convince me. My colleagues know that I have ever considered a change, it's been many years with iOS and there are times when you get bored of the same interface (a feeling that iOS 7 has helped me solve).
Now you may be wondering which Android phone I would have to choose if I made the change. It is not an easy decision because there are many options but the truth is that Sony's Xperia Z family attracts me a lot but for the test these days I am going to use a phone that is a real bomb. Its about LG G2 and it is one of the big bets for the remainder of the year.
Not only do I change the operating system, there are many new features that I am going to experience these days. To begin with, we are talking about a terminal with 5,2 inch with Full HD resolution compared to the four inches of the iPhone 5. The version of Android that the LG G2 has installed is 4.2.2 so it is one of the last, in addition, the house brings a series of additions that provide extra features that always come in handy.
Throughout the next few days I will be writing posts with my impressions and I will try to be as impartial as possible. I like the apple but I recognize the good work of the competition and whether you want to admit it or not, Android is a great operating system.
As well can you take the opportunity to ask me questions that I will try to answer in those posts. Ask me about the performance of the autonomy, how does such a large phone carry in your pocket, if you notice the difference between the screen and the iPhone, ... Whatever you want as long as it has to do with the subject.
At the moment, I have been using the LG G8 as my main phone for 2 hours and the truth is, I am very surprised and the feelings are very positive.
More information - iOS 7, launching mobile without investing money
I like the idea, I will be attentive to the comments, that I, for example, have also been with iOS since the iPhone 3G came out
Personally, I freak… I don't understand this post at all, much less that they have let it be published
Nobody forces you to read it. Surely there are many who do not switch to Android because they are afraid of spending 700 euros on something that later they do not like. Having a solid opinion can help you make the decision or not, you just have to value the help I try to provide with this experience.
Being an exclusively iOS user since 2007 I see myself with enough capacity to assess the pros and cons of making the leap to Android versus iOS but as I said, you don't have to read it if you are not interested in the least.
I think it is discrediting for the page. If you are so interested in comparing operating systems, publish them on other pages such as xataka, etc ... That I am clear about what I want. To make a quick comparison, it is as if someone from Microsoft publishes that they just bought the PS4. I don't know if I explain myself
Of course, since I am an editor of Engadget, I am going to publish my post there. Never forget that competition is the best thing that can happen to Apple and it is always good to know their movements.
Smear for the page? For? I do not believe that an educated and informed opinion is a discredit. You may like it or not, that's what opinions are for.
PS: I'll play you an iPhone 5s because Apple's laboratories have terminals for all the competition. The same at Samsung and any other brand.
I also play you a beer because in the Carrefour stores they have the Mercadona catalog and I go even further, I play a steak on the stone that one of the first PS4 to be sold will go directly to the Microsoft offices to see the work you have done the competition to see the weaknesses and strengths of a product that can help them to further improve their own.
This is how this works but what has been said, nobody forces anyone to read the posts. If you are interested you enter and if not to something else.
Completely agree, without a doubt, if you are a company and you want to provide the best product to your customers, you must know what the competition offers. Of course, as a reader, I prefer to read articles written based on experience, to read the work of someone completely impartial, reaped by their personal convictions. Much encouragement!! and I will be attentive to your articles. You are going to do something that many people must do before criticizing for free. I have had an iPhone since 3g appeared in Spain and I will continue with Apple. However, I have family and friends who are Android users who are happy with their terminals. In the end, everything is a matter of taste and that the product you have, whatever it is, meets your needs.
Disrepute is that someone is so radical ... Do you think Apple managers have not used Android phones? Windows, Linux and Android iPhone? Search on Google Plus for Vic Gundotra and read his latest post where he says that he went on a trip with 5 mobile phones and one of them is an iPhone
Every time I read comments like this, I am glad that I am not an iPhone and even more so that I am not so radical.
The brand has nothing to do with it, there are fans everywhere ...
Let's see Zexion character… .this person doesn't work at Apple, so don't give silly examples… like you. You are just doing a test to see if the difference between iOS and Android is that much. If after being 6 years with Apple terminals you can use Android terminals without problem ... and if the difference in stability is as much as people say. A person so deeply rooted and experienced in Apple I doubt that he will make partial comments, surely as he comments, it will be a solid article or opinion to take into account.
Greetings and good luck Nacho with the experiment.
Excellent, tell us about the autonomy of the battery compared to that of the iphone.
Look, I understand that you want to see for yourself the advantages and disadvantages of operating systems and more than once I left the iPhone to test the HTC One or Galaxy S3 but I always come to the same conclusion "nothing beats iOS" Android is a system open and with advantages but at the same time too unstable and not fast compared to iPhone.
I have also had that feeling with mobile phones and previous versions of Android. That is, for now, the snapdragon 800 and Android 4.2.2 enjoy a fluidity worthy of iOS.
We will see as the days go by if it stays the same.
Sure, by the way do you have any email people where we can talk about a topic?
you can send an email to the address Contact@actualidadiphone.com
Regards!
It's useless ... I've experienced this with the S3 and the Xperia Z. The first few days you always freak out, but then you miss the stability and smoothness of the iPhone. As hardware I do not deny that they are something ... But the difference is IOS .... Android is a fragmented and dirty system by all these companies. Terminals that with double or more ram and power, scratch and do not go smooth because of the ballast that is the android. To this day, Android has gotten out of hand and the only moderately satisfactory experience is that of Google's Nexus ... Let's never forget the finishes and materials of the iPhone, which are unmatched ...
Let's see if you can not miss your iPhone 5 with IOS7. May the Force be with you…
Thank you, I will try and I assure you that it will not be easy after so many years with an iPhone in your pocket. 😀
I find the argument of fragmentation funny when looking for problems with Android. Apple also has fragmentation. The iPhone 4 and iOS 7, no matter how much iOS 7 I put in the update, is a version capped. Obviously Apple's strategy in this regard is better than Google's.
I think you should review the fragmentation terms and their consequences a little, it is not the same to have to test an app in hundreds of terminals to make it compatible, than to test it in a couple of them
Agree with you, I changed from iPhone 5 to note 2 and in a month and a half I returned to iPhone, I really miss that softness of iOS in the end!
You're right! My cousin has a Nexus 7 and it works better than the Galaxy's. I do not know why. Even so, iOS will always be much more stable and faster! I do not understand why Google does not rewrite the Android to be more stable and light in addition to being universal! The same Android with the same features for all supported models. That would be super cool!
Completely agree. Checked day by day, with all my colleagues and my girlfriend. First days very good, cool and others. After a couple of months ... slow, almost impossible to update, etc, etc. The blame? Android and the phone. Android is not a bad system, it is very good, but too many phones to be compatible with for it to go smoothly. It does not get 100% of the terminal. The terminals, very good mobiles too, good equipment, leaving aside the finishing-materials for tastes, but none have a system that knows how to take advantage of the machine.
Conclusion, you need machine and OS together, that know each other and know how to work perfectly together. If you have that you have it all. Android and their phones don't have it, it's the bad thing about it. In this Apple is far ahead of them. It's the good thing about Apple.

I made the change from an iPhone 5 to a Galaxy Note 2 a few months ago motivated by the large screen of the latter given my vision problems. The truth is that I am quite satisfied with both Android and the terminal although I have to say that I do not change it for an iPhone or ios. I do not understand Apple's refusal to remove terminals with more screen knowing that it causes losses of loyal customers like me, who have had all iPhone models
The same happened to me, iPhone5 to Note2. Bigger screen and a battery change that would be impossible in Apple. Four days without recharging the mobile is a delight. Perooo ... another thing would be if Apple rethinks about the jump to higher formats and that they do not reach Ipad.
You will realize that android has many things that apple needs android is much better and improvements will come soon
I MADE THE CHANGE FROM IPHONE 5 TO SAMSUNG GALAXY S4.. AND I TELL YOU THAT IT'S GOING WONDERFULLY.. ANDROID GIVES YOU MORE FREEDOM TO BE ABLE TO PERSONALIZE YOUR PHONE, NOT LIKE APPLE WE HAVE TO WAIT WHOLE MONTHS TO BE ABLE TO USE CYDIA AND THERE WE START TO CUSTOMIZE OUR PHONE.. ALSO APPLE CHANGED BEFORE IOS 7 CAME OUT.. APPLE WAS ONLY MORE OF THE SAME THING THEY HAVE FIXED WITH IOS 7 IT ALREADY FEELS LIKE SOMETHING NEW.. BUT I AM SATISFIED WITH THE CHANGE.. THE ANDRIOD SYSTEM IT'S VERY GOOD.. /(in addition to your experience on android it would be great... if you could give us some tips or things that you are trying with your LG G2... because even though I changed my phone I still don't stop following you now and well I would like to be able to read Android things from time to time... of course that doesn't have to say that actualidad iphone change to android but a couple of tricks from time to time wouldn't be bad... although a lot of people will get upset about that... I think they hate the competition
another resentful for these parts ...
Why don't you shut your mouth before writing stupid things?
I use iOS, I respect Carlos's decision, not there to be a fanboy gaston, repeat the oponion but you don't share it 😉 it's good that you love iOS, but respect others as you would like them to do with you; Since I don't like being answered badly by android fanboys.
This is a forum for apple related articles. If you don't want to be criticized, don't write things that have nothing to do with apple. To praise Android go to an android page.
Here each one leaves the opinion that he believes appropriate, neither more nor less… Guti tutifruti.
recentido me ?? but because .. I just have my iphone saved because I prefer android and period
The more released this iOS, the more insecure it will be. The PlayStore on Android is infected with malicious applications, another point is the stability of the software. The only software capable of moving like iOS is Windows Phone. I have checked it 100%. With Android I have to be clearing the cache and closing the applications in the background, so that it can move lightly and in addition to that I have to download an antivirus. Those are the disadvantages of an opensource software like Android. The day that Android is really safe then I can say that Android is at the height of iOS. But with the new look of iOS7 the old iPhone and iPad have come back to life. In other words the iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch were revived thanks to this radical change! And the older iPhone's compatible as well as the iPad 2 and 3 seem like new models with iOS7👍 I was already tired of the same thing since 2007, but now it's something else! 3D effects on the background still images and dynamic backgrounds. What I, with how controlled iOS is, would never have imagined that it was going to happen. For Android lovers I recommend the Xperia Z1 I have it in blue, it is super and its camera is great! Although I use my iPhone 4S more for my banking transactions and the iPad for my class work! I like the Xperia Z1 because of its camera and because it is waterproof! I have not yet bought the iPhone 5S so I can't talk much about it. I talk about what I already have and my experience with them.
Well I'm glad, so you can speak properly when you buy.
What confirms this decision is the situation in which we find ourselves many Apple users, who expect a renewal or evolution that will hook us as they did then, more screen, fewer restrictions, etc.
It will be very interesting to see your conclusions and I hope you are impartial! I already confirm that iOS Stability is unrivaled but you can do so many things on Android ... I just prefer that even if it has some other bug! X true that LG often pepinaco !!!
The stability of iOS has been called into question, with the arrival of iOS 7 ... I am experiencing failures in my 4s that have never happened before.
Well done, Nacho.
It is best to have and be able to enjoy both systems, whenever possible. That stupid radicality is taken away from you. And wait for CyanogenMod to arrive.
iOS 7 seems like a trick to me, but we will have to get used to it because it is what we have at the moment.
Fire this man please !!
here gentlemen, I present the IDIOTE live and in full color, along with 16 more. Save the words, I doubt you can move your mouth to say something coherent. Regards.
Something consistent like calling someone an idiot and then saying hello? 😒
Look at this friend put a comment that represents how much we love Apple and iPhone, it is also funny, it is not for you to come out with your insults believing you are coherent and sending greetings😒
27 and counting
Death to google
Reading the comments on the page, I can't help but think that many of those who are terrified of Nacho trying an Android (luckily, by the way, Nacho! THE G2 is a super terminal!) Do not really know the strengths that this system offers.
Many of the opinions focused on weaknesses such as stability and fluidity seem to be from people who never used an Android other than the old Gingerbreads, since it is indisputable that iOS and Android today are in similar conditions in their performance. In some cases it seems that they dare to name the S3 / S4 and the HTC One to say that they are a disaster, that they stick and that they are slow, but anyone who has common sense, criteria and a respectable opinion knows that this is not the case. .
I think that many of the cases of superfluidity and superior super stability that some iPhone users perceive are only in their mind, and that prevents them from evaluating an Android impartially.
I have an S4 apart from my 5s, and the problems that it puts ,,, so YES, IT IS SO, before releasing these nonsense try to get into forums like HTCMANIA and you will see that the only one that is saved in performance is the HTC ONE , even if I lose in other things
Sorry, eeemmm adfa is it? If you look, I do not shield myself in pseudonyms to disqualify or rant against anyone, so I will appreciate that you do not come to qualify my comments as "stupid" please. I humbly ask you to be respectful, I don't think it's very difficult.
Of course there will be people who experience different performance. That is a reality. It happens with Android and it happens with iOS and Windows Phone. In my experience, and note that I do not use Samsung products, but I have had the opportunity to use them for long periods for testing, I think the S4 performs quite well in regular use. In my opinion it is not at the level of the Nexus or the HTC One or the Z or the very G2 that Nacho is going to test, but it is more than acceptable and the difference is almost imperceptible except in very specific situations.
On the iPhone side, I have had the opportunity to use all of them even the 5S, which is a great device, due to my work as a mobility consultant for companies, and believe me that iOS does stick from time to time and has shape crashes. very sporadic, it is very good but it is not infallible and anyone who thinks that is very wrong.
I hope you can appreciate a neutral opinion like the one I give you, because if another comment comes calling me a fanboy or a donkey, I will know well what kind of person you are.
Greetings, friend.
Friend Fabian. When you have an iOS the same for 7 long years you force yourself at some point, to use the Xperia Z1, the Galaxy S3, the HTC ONE, the Galaxy note 2 to see if they convince me. And the truth is, the performance of iOS is superior. In fact, only the Windows Phone is matched in performance. I have an Xperia Z1 only because of what its hardware offers me, not because of its operating system. I am waiting to buy a gold 5S! I currently have an iPhone 4S, iPad 2, 3 and the Xperia Z1! And I must confess that iOS 7 has revived my old models iPad 2, 3 and my iPhone 4S! Love it. I hope Android Kitkat is not a disappointment.
Yes Juanka, I must first thank you for showing education. It is difficult to see when someone expresses a different opinion on an Apple / iPhone site.
Second, I think that here will be the point where we will have to agree to disagree. I was forced to use an iPad for just under 11 months for work reasons. Mainly by testing layouts of an intranet in Safari.
In that period I alternated quite a bit between the company's iPad and my Nexus4 and quite frankly I cannot say I have experienced any significant differences in use or performance. Even recently when I was updating iPhones from another company, almost all 4S and 5, and the occasional 5S to iOS7, I still cannot say that the user experience was superior on the iPhone.
If I can tell you that it was practically impossible for me to use them efficiently, due to some important limitations but mainly because I was not so used to it, I even passed by touching the bezel of the iPhone looking for the XD back key.
In the end I hold my belief that this performance difference is only in the mind. If we had had this talk a couple of years ago I would have accepted that iOS is more fluid and by far, but this today, October 2013 is no longer the case.
Olé!
Excuse me Fabian, did you upgrade an iphone 5s to IOS 7?
Thanks Robby for pointing out the error in my previous post, until now that you say it and I go back to read it I see how wrong it sounds. What I wanted to refer to was that I update the iPhones of some users of the company to iOS7 and a couple were updated to an iPhone 5s.
I edited the previous post, to make it clearer. Thanks a lot!
I have tried both systems and I stick with iOS for a long time. Luck.
Hello,
I've been with a nexus 4 for a week, and I've been coming from the days of the iphone 2g and all the others until 4s ... at the moment I have no complaints about anything.
I will be attentive to see what experience it gives you due to the similarity of the change
regards
The reality is that as the time it takes to get the jailbreak for the iPhone continues to increase, more and more people (myself included) are going to end up going for Android. It is cheaper, and 1000 times more customizable. We are no longer in 2008 when there was nothing almost smartphones. It's 2013, and Apple keeps shutting down on customization.
Good argument yours, bravo!
Well Nacho, I already did this a long time ago and I have returned to ios. Android has a lot of good things if you use them, of course, but, if not, why do you want them and pay for them not to use them. When you take a while, months I believe in my experience, you realize that memory management is messy, you have the typical bugs when opening applications, you will start to restart the terminal almost every week…. All this are some of the observations that I made in addition to the first, two apps open at the same time on the screen, for what? How many meetings do you have to have an organizer of these characteristics? And the battery ?? Anyway, you will be saying.
Open man bought an android 1.5 cupcake or something like that .. because with that makina of G2 Q HAS NACHO he will not have trouble with the memory .. and if you do not know how to have 2 apps open at the same time on the same screen it is very useful Get out of trouble sometimes it seems like you don't know what you're talking about
No Carlos, and rajiro is very right, I experienced that when I switched to note 2 with android 4.2.1 and I released the note with 4.2.2 that I never saw the difference from one to the other!
Correct the memory is a mess and the bugs uffff That is why you have to keep the cache always clean, do not put many moving funds, avoid having many applications in the background open so that you can notice the smoothness and care that sometimes the jumps are noticed . The worst of all is that even in new terminals such as the Xperia Z1, the HTC, the Galaxy's etc. We always notice happy bugs No matter how much processor and memory they have. They are always noticed. That's the downside of using iOS and then moving to Android, you tend to see those flaws right away.
Sometimes the truth hurts. By the way, to speak you have to speak properly, knowing what you are saying, being a scientist, and to respond to a comment you have to read it well and understand it. At no time do I speak that I do not know. On the other hand, an operating system is an operating system, neither cupcake nor jelly bean …….
Ah !!!! The only thing that I still miss in ios is being able to have your favorite contacts in an icon. The customization in the end is heavy for the terminal.
I would have liked you to do the test with a Nexus 4 to compare the stability and fluidity of Android Stock vs iOS, but I cannot deny that the G2 is a very good phone and if the rumors are true the Nexus 5 will be based on this terminal . Good luck, I have been using Android for several years (I currently have an Xperia Z), I have also tried with iOS (iPhone 3G, 3GS, 4S and iPod 4) so I can confirm that experimenting a little is not a problem (although for some here they seems like a heresy 🙂) Greetings
That is, the Nexus 5 will almost certainly be a carbon copy of the LG G2 but with Android without customizing. It is not the same but hey, the opportunity has arisen with the G2 and not with the Nexus 4.
Anyway, I wanted to do this experience for a phone that I would not mind buying and the Nexus 4 although it is cheap, it does not convince me in some things about its hardware (without going into the price issue that is unbeatable in that)
Regards!
I think it is a path that many should take sometime. In my case, I have been an iPhone user for not long (about 1 year) and since the appearance of smartphones, I had 2 Android phones (although mid-range). What I appreciated the most about the jump to iOS was ensuring updates even if your equipment is somewhat old, stability and battery life (compared to those mid-range of course, which lasted very little). The freedom that Android gives you is great, however having so much widget and messy applications ended up convincing me of the change. I think it is a personal process, everyone has their tastes, hobbies and habits.
Good!
I think that the LG is going to be luxurious for you and Android too, now how long will it last. When you install and delete many applications and install new versions of Android it will no longer be the same, they will wait for you to hang up on the phone, reinstall the system, etc. Samsung S3 users. you will see
And I forgot I hope you do not have to take the Lg to the SAT, then if you will notice it….
Hello Said, the test will be a few days not long. I doubt that I experience many of the things you mention but hey, my old iPhone 4S, 2 iPad and iPhone 5 have gone through the SAT for various defects so Apple is not the panacea in that.
Nacho only a few days? and do you like android more? Well I don't think that in just a few days you can feel so much attractive for android .. the longer you have it the less you want to let it go .. in just days I think you will make the most of the potential of android
I can always borrow the mobile from a friend
The only problem I had with the iPhone, they solved it for me by changing it instantly. What does Lg do?
There are applications to turn on the screen by touching the screen twice, (double tap to wake) that is very cool, I recommend them but you need root
I have been with the Nexus 3 for 4 weeks. Before I had the iPhone 5 but after seeing Apple's keynote presenting the 5S and a 5C that was a cheap plastic 5 in it was so bad that for the € 200 that the Nexus 4 cost I wanted try ... Well now I'm not going back to iPhone and iOS or crazy ... I still have the iPad and Apple TV that's why I enter these sites. Sherpa in many ways is MUCH better than Siri, it lacks a bit of voice synthesis, which is a little bit robotic…. But we go. And for the rest, well, good and bad things, as well as all the bad things, he attributed to the "excessively cheap" of the Nexus 4 terminal, which for € 200 is not that you can't ask for more but that you find yourself with a song in your teeth … But the camera is better than the iPhone 5 and I really like safari although Chrome is also very good. Anyway, or Apple revolutionizes but REVOLUTIONIZES the market or I do not think it will return and like me almost all the people who test android (in decent terminals of course) Apple should bring out the concept of the iPhone shaped like a drop of water with pico projector and keyboard projected or something like that…. I do not know. A true REVOLUTION, not year after year more of the same with light face washes. Apple looks like VolksWagen to innovate as little as possible and while the donkey's milk to squeeze it. It is disgusting companies that do not innovate anything and then people like sheep to pay more for something that "doubtfully" is worth it ... ..
I have the iphone 5 and I do not change it for anything. But I also have the s4 and I have ordered the nokia 1020
Why do I consider that each computer and its operating system has different things that are worth trying
Well while android is not stable I am not going there, more than a friend with the s4, sometimes suffers from slowness of the system when it has half battery or when it charges the battery, sometimes with full charge it takes time to respond, small bugs that at least it does not have my iphone 5. nor the 4 and 4s that I had at the time, however it is good to try and comment your personal opinion, that if be careful with the google app store do not waste time downloading a file that a the final will not be compatible with your terminal
I really don't understand you Nacho. There are many blogs and pages focused on the world of Android for those who use (or consider using their products) but do not see what this type of post contributes to Actualidad iPhone. I don't know how you are allowed to publish this. If I want to know the sensations of an Android, whatever it is, I would go to other sources.
Honestly (and it is a personal opinion) your publications contribute very little to the news "Apple" Going from your negative visits to the Apple Store of which you make a world and generalize for a specific thing to things like transmitting your experiences with Android. do you make sense here?
«I read you just because I don't believe what I read»
Nacho, it would be really important that you are really impartial, I have always used android and I firmly believe that it is a great operating system, but as I mentioned, I do not know the competition, it is for this reason that I would like to confirm if I am right about android, and I repeat myself, be impartial in your opinions !!
Greetings,,,,
I will be, but of course, there are opinions for all tastes and whoever is not satisfied with what I write, will think that I am a fanboy, that I have no idea, etc ... I will risk it.
The truth is that I do not understand this article and its successive installments here. Let it be known that I respect people who are curious and want to try Android. But a series of reports about Android on a page called actualidad iPhone. I would understand that the summary of the experience will be published, but reading about Android... Well, the truth is that it doesn't interest me. Even so, he wished you luck with the new direction of the page that should now be called Acruality Android.
You are not going to read about Android, you are going to read iOS vs Android from the point of view of someone who has been using iOS for more than 5 years.
The articles are not going to focus on Android, you can rest assured.
I've always had an iPhone apart from having all Apple at home, one day I got bored with the same iOs interface and wanted to give Android a chance, with which I had a bad experience with a Chinese tablet with frodo. But times changed, and I bought an S3 which allowed me to customize the phone to my liking without losing that fluidity of my Iphone, and the change was for the better, as the next one I bought and currently have is a nexus 4 that It goes smoothly, and it's the closest thing to an iPhone, clean Android without layers and an OS made for the phone. And here I continue with my nexus 4 thinking about the 5. Mu woman still has the iPhone 5, and when I pick it up I say damn well done this phone is, but this interface bores me and especially the size of the screen, but that's another story .
I would like people to compare both systems by testing them and not being guided by fanatic websites.
Of course, I still have ipad, macbbok, imac and ipod at home hehe
"Linux + Java" VS "UnixBSD + C". With Sun Microsystems down, Berkeley's for now are unrivaled. (Maybe if RedHat got in the way and replaced Java with GNU…).
What differentiates one OS from another is that in a year the IOS will be like the first day and the android will be out of date within a year !!!! in a couple of days you will not be able to see the big differences where apple is like all its competitors !!! I have an iphone 4 since 2010 !! A mobile phone has never lasted so long!
Iphone without jailbreak = brick
Ios = jail and sect
Android = to freedom
Take off the blindfold, and get out of jail and try what it is to be free, greetings
make you fuck gil
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! That is as if you have been with REAL MADRID your whole life and now that you play regularly you go to Barcelona .. Anyway ..
ANDROID = POOP
LOL
I went several times from iphone to andorid and vice versa, I tried many models of android, s3, s4, note, note 2, xperia Z, htc one x, Lg Optimus G, etc. after having them no more than 3 weeks I returned to the iphone of Turn is that moment until I tested HTC One M7 and the truth was surprised in every way, the duration of the battery, the screen, the incredible sound, its construction materials I have it for 3 months it never got slow or jammed, never I had problems in every way, except a few days ago when I went to see a recital and I wanted to record a video and it came out very saturated, it did not look good with the lights, my sister filmed with an iPhone 5 and the quality of her video was much higher. I recently bought the 5gb gold iphone 64s after being without an iPhone for 3 months and the truth is that I will stay with an iPhone for several things, its easy handling, fast camera, the slow motion filming mode is great, its autonomy I improved a lot and especially for its store applications, the truth is that in android they were not well polished and the quality is noticeable with those of apple. Anyway I stayed with both the htc one m7 and iphone 5s xq is the closest thing I saw in both, superior in a lot of the htc but in applications from the apple store there is no way to give it.
Greetings from Argentina.
Don't you really realize it? Android Do you need a desktop PC setup to run smoothly? Why do I want a maserati if he is going to spend more time in the workshop than with me? I like the rivalry and competition of different companies, but don't screw me about discrediting me with hardware comparisons because it's a trick, I hope you enjoy the experience, and I don't judge people for going "to the dark side", instead I
They say that the
Drums?? XDDDDD NEITHER YOU BELIEVE IT !! Wing with god
I speak to you with experience and base, I have an Apple product since the iPhone 3 came out, I went through all its generations until I reached 5, from there I wanted to make the change, and I tried the Note 2, a 5,5 ″ phone with a pencil that I can say that it gives a unique and very useful advantage, an excellent camera, here everyone knows the characteristics of the note 2, a good phone but the android system even though it provides many advantages without the need to rotate the equipment (root), which The iPhone get more out of doing jailbreak, well in conclusion the phone stuck, something with the iPhone is not common even with jailbreak, viruses have to be dealt with, and the worst was until death came to note2 and it was burned and the relationship was not economic at all, and there I completely hated them…. A plus to the android in being able to install add-ons to the browsers is the best, the rest nothing that you cannot do with the iphone. Greetings
It's nice to know that someone is so open minded to do this! Like you, I have an iPhone 5 but due to fate at this time I also have a Galaxy Note 2 LTE. For now I have been using it for two days and the truth is something new, surprising and fun for me considering that I have been using iOS for several years.
Well, let me tell you that to terminate an app on your galaxy is as always as go to application settings and terminate ... man, as you speak, it seems to me that you only talk about the samgung galaxy through videos that you have seen on YouTube or things that you have heard ... or surely you don't know how to use a makina like that…. If you don't like what comes from the factory, you mount a new rom and it's over .. you have all the free space to install whatever you want ..
what you say is very true. but it contradicts a lot of the arguments that Android folks make:
1. a new rom: you have to spend a long time to see which rom you can mount if it is made for your device, etc, etc, etc.
2. They highlight the freedom in android, but you do not have freedom until you install a room other than the one from the manufacturer.
3. uninstall any application that comes from the factory in the factory rom of the galaxy s4 that easy? you can't, you have to do a thousand things to uninstall it. I repeat the ones that come from the factory.
In short, you have to do a thousand things to have the freedom of android that they talk so much about.
Well, the jailbreak is on iPhone and that's it, freedom with the same problems and incidents that can bring you to install another rom to your galaxy s4
friend bores the interface ... switch to 7 XD
Good initiative, I did it a few months ago, and I mentioned it to Gonzalo when I did it. Go from an iPhone 4S to a galaxy s3. Android is interesting for the things that can be done, but there is something that does not compare to an iPhone and that is stability. And that reason made me go back to the iphone and I came back. To give an example, when I pressed to open the phone and make a call, it took a long time, so let's think about if you have an emergency and you have to make a call. To give an example. And taking into account that in that S3, I only had 5 applications installed and the rest in music. It was totally clean at the software level.
I have been oscillating between IOS and Android constantly in the last 4 months. And for me IOS and iPhones are better. I like the IOS more for being simple and because it works. I like the iPhone itself because of its screen size, which is perfect for me, and because of the construction materials. On the other hand, android annoyed me because of how impractical it can be sometimes, notifications for example, I like them better on IOS, I've never been a fan of widgets, I prefer simple icons. And not to mention materials, a lot of plastic and ugly designs, some models are saved, but they are few. A final aspect that disappoints me about Android and its cell phones is that they devalue in a short time (Samsung releases a new phone every week) to the extent that your phone was a bad investment if you compare it with an iPhone that despite the years they continue being priced. On accessories the thing is worse, while for iphone you find in heaps, for android if you do not have the super cool phone that Samsung came out last week, you will have to make a cover with paper because there will not be much to choose from.
I don't have much to say about apps, there are many in both operating systems, but at least for me it is easier to buy in the appstore than in googleplay.
And what does it feel like to be such an apple fanboy? Because there are things that have neither head nor tail of what you say, I know people with one system and others with another, and each one has its pros and cons, but for you android you describe it as if it were the worst thing that someone can have .
Fanboy? haahahaha, what do you say xD, I describe the android as it seems to ME, I describe it as I HAVE been the PERSONAL experience.
I have tried Samsung S2, S3, S4, S3mini, Sony Xperia P, HTC One X and other less famous ones. I have used iphone 3gs, 4, 4s and 5.
Samsung screens are too big for me, what do you want me to say? how cool is it to have a big screen? Well, yes it is, but when it comes to day-to-day walking it's uncomfortable (FOR ME), I liked the Xperia P screen a lot (4 ″) and the materials (aluminum), but it didn't have gorilla glass nor was it so powerful enough to overcome the Android OS and applications to full, it was not fluid in its interface. The same happens with the S3mini, but this one does have gorilla glass. I think the S4mini is a decent competitor in fluidity but not in materials. The truth is, I have not tried the latter yet, but I will try it and give my opinion.
Android is a good operating system, highly customizable and pirateable (all over the internet there are cracked apk and launchers in a thousand and one ways), that's what I liked at the time, make the cell phone completely yours, in your style personal. After a while the apps that I used were not so many (the same happens to me in IOS), from launchers I did not find any that I liked more than the one that comes by default on each computer.
I'm a music fan and I loved that there were apps to improve audio (I miss that on IOS). The style of the notifications I liked, but I liked it more on IOS (with IOS it got even better). As I said at the time, widgets do not interest me, the only one I used was the weather one for lack of another way to know it (in IOS it is in the notification bar without further complications).
I already expressed it in materials, I PREFER aluminum and glass with gorilla glass, just as light as polycarbonate but more elegant (durable not so much because if it hits it, it deforms) and with a better feeling to the touch. THE HTC and Sony are the ones that invest the most in materials, but for a change, the powerful models have large screens that are not practical for me on a day-to-day basis. There are a lot of people who love big screens, for something the struggle in Android is to see who has the biggest screen to the degree that the "PHABLET" aberration was created, just as aberrant as taking pictures with an iPad, for example.
I said, I like IOS more, for reasons of "fanboy" as you would say, but that I would define as personal experiences, Windows phone I have not used it or have interest, I know it is fluid but the lack of basic apps and the ecosystem in yes they take away my interest, also the nokia lumia are heavy as bricks and again ... large screens. I don't even think about Blackberry anymore.
I did the same with the S3 for 6 months and I regret leaving iOS really Android 4.3 that I currently use is a real rubbish. I can only wait until the end of the year to buy the new iphone 5s. luck in your feat ...
I will be waiting for your impressions.
In the variety is the spice.
I have been tempted a thousand times with good Android terminals but the comfort / facilities of iOS is unique, I do not see myself changing but I like the idea of seeing what results from the experiment.
That is not being afraid.
"Be different"
As they say around here, you have made the wrong terminal to test, I have tried many times and only the HTC has managed to keep me on Android for 3 months, I am still with it and until Apple surprises me with more screen for now I will continue with it, no there is no lag, the only one but ... The camera ...
mother of god, it must be the best android phone of the moment, lg has put the batteries, that pepinaco.
I'm glad to read these articles, generally everything is written from the subjective point of view depending on the web is Google or Apple. I have used both terminals, from the iPhone 3G to the iPhone 5 and all kinds of Android. I will be very brief, it depends on the type of user, one terminal or another is better for you.
If you enjoy fiddling with your terminal, of course what I recommend the most is Android, however, if you want things chewed up Apple.
I summarize it in one sentence, if you want to do or long for the jailbreak, it is that you have the wrong brand.
Nacho, I would like to read your android posts. We are many followers of this great website (I don't even remember, but I think since before the iPhone 3G) we expect something like this. Above all I would like to read fairness, which is what makes a blog great.
I've been on iOS since 2008 and now I'm going to switch to android (I'll wait for the nexus 5).
Maybe it will make me stay on android, maybe it will make me go back to iOS,… but my idea is to be able to use both systems; android phone and iOS tablet.
They are two great systems, very mature, and it is not necessary to close only to one, for what? You just lose. We must take advantage of the strong competition between them and get the best out of each one.
1 greeting
I had an iphone 5 and in the month of July, day 26, I switched to the galaxy s4 ... The first days the confusion was normal because I had to adapt ... But as the days passed I began to regret enormously for having made the change ... 8 days after the launch of the iphone 5s I returned to IOS with a 5s and the truth is that never in my life I change my iphone ...
Thanks for the opportunity to vent. Heheheeheh
They look for an excuse that they have faster updates on iOS, what is a quick update worth when it does not bring anything or almost nothing that attracts attention?
I changed my IPhone 5 for the S4 and today I am with a huge desire to buy the 5s because it has me fried to garbage propaganda that gets into installing applications from the same Play Store, and that if the stability of the IOS is what what else do I miss.
Salu2
Hey friend take care D :! More than one Apple Fan Boy will want to lynch you D :! Something similar happened to me years ago, I got bored with the iOS interface, I do not deny that it is very stable, but everything is going well up to a point, it was also necessary to restore the iPhone every so often because it was encouraged. And I'm not going to tell you that that doesn't happen on Android, because as of today, having been a user of 27 Android devices, many of them do have those problems that are named, as of today I have a Nexus 4 and I really do It is the best terminal that I could have, it is fast, the system is light, and after 1 year it is still one of the most powerful terminals of all, I would be glad that more than 1 would be given the opportunity to not only buy a Samsung, but Some other terminal that is according to what they need and they will see that not all androids are like that, in the same way for everyone who is interested, Android 4.4 will be presented on October 14 and this is thought to be universal, it could be installed on devices of minimum 1Ghz of processor and 512 of ram, ending with the happy fragmentation. Greetings to all, and calmly friends remember that everyone has their opinion and tastes, not all are the same
Although most consider it off topic or heregia in the worst case, I will be attentive to read the conclusions, I do not like the dogma that is handled in most blogs (if I use iOS I do not want to know anything about ANDROID and If so, I must go to a reference forum or vicebersa) that everyone bounces when they want to talk about the competition, for me they are like inquisitors who refuse to use reason, knowledge is never superfluous and if we can learn from experience of someone who better reach us from someone who knows thoroughly how iOS behaves.
I am also about to do a similar test to be able to express my opinion with a true judgment on this matter because if I enter the ANDROID Galaxy S4 forums it is funny to see how everyone says «that cell phone ruffling hurts that half of the 16Gb that it brings already come loaded with the garbage that comes pre-installed ... that after a week of use I am already experiencing lags ... that it gets so hot that later I can't put it in my pocket for fear of spontaneous combustion, etc. Will they be isolated cases or only the one with problems looking for an opinion?
Because we do not think that although we may have the best, the competition has been exceeding each day more and that the day has come when we have many more options to choose what best suits each of us?
I've always had iOS on iPhones 3G, 3Gs, 4, 4s and iPad 2 but I'm never satisfied with them until I jailbreak them and I don't know if it's because of this, I suppose so, I also suffer from lags, crashes and other kinds of failures and you will never know if this is comparable to other systems until you try it in person.
I think it's great that you bring impartiality to the blog nacho, worthy of you, but even with a great phone that you carry, I also gave Android the opportunity, it has many advantages and great things, but you still see me here publishing on an iPhone blog with my iPhone next to 😀
Hello everyone, I have been an Android user for 3 years. First I was amazed with a galaxy s2, without a doubt a very good terminal, and in terms of materials at that time (the era of the iphone 4 and 4s, which boasted very good materials, but more than one was destroyed by simple falls less than 50cm), now I have a galaxy s3, which I have modified to my liking and helimoiado of Samsung software crap to gain fluency (now I have pure android like google's nexus), it also seems like a good terminal, but I have to say that finally I want to switch to iPhone, to 5s, which I have ordered for about 10 days and has not yet arrived (I live in Germany). The reason for my change? I'm sick of having to make modifications to the operating system so that it gains fluidity, so that it consumes less battery, monitoring some applications that in a matter of 1 hour sucked 20 to 100mb of my data rate without using the phone, the fear of putting some data from my bank accounts. I have been amazed with the fluidity of ios, the useful and productive applications, which I cannot find in android.
I hope I have made a good decision, since when I see this forum I have doubts, if an advanced user of ios already wants to try Android, is it simply boredom of always having the same thing, which is not serious, or is it because ios is really missing something that I don't know and that android does have (regardless of the size of the screen, 4 ″ is enough, if you want something bigger, are there ipad's)?
Well, hello everyone.
This news is written as if he were going to go to the desert for a month. By God, it's changing mobile, it's not that bad either xDDD
I have an iPhone5 and in the office we have bought a SIV for a colleague. Forgive gentlemen addicted to Apple, but it gives my iPhone a thousand turns, no matter how much ios7 you put on it.
As it might not be able to email files from dropbox or googledrive. On the other hand, with the SIV you can even choose 1000 options to send them
It seems perfect to me, you can perfectly like the systems, each one has its pros and cons
The apple will always be a temptation, Apple falls in love there is nothing more to say.
I see that everyone talks about sensations and not realities. The Apple operating system works on each request we make to the phone, giving high priority over the rest of the processes to that active request, dedicating the hardware to that action so that the feeling when moving through the operating system or opening applications is of smoothness and speed. Android does not do that and therefore it will never be as smooth because the priorities of the processes are the same in many of them. Hence, iPhones with a lower mic have always been infinitely smoother.
On the other hand, in google play anyone can make an application and hang it up and that application is not thoroughly reviewed by anyone, therefore it could damage the terminals and no one would have cared.
For these things and endless more, IOS is better to hurt whoever hurts. I myself want to change my iPhone to another terminal but I can never because a better one never comes out. I'm tired of Apple's innovation dwindling and I'm literally bored of not having the feeling that I change my phone when I switch to a new iPhone, but the sad reality is that there are no other good options. I have tried Galaxy Note 1 and 2, Galaxy S2, S3, S4, I have tried HTC, LG and many more and there is no way ...
What's more, I liked the feeling of a Windows Phone more smoothly than that of Android.
That is my opinion, if I am wrong about something, someone who knows more about the internal operating system and how requests from soft to hard work and enlighten us with their wisdom.
What does not convince me of the G2 is the position of the buttons on the back just below the camera lens, perhaps it is more practical with a large screen and even in general with any cell phone model, but the proximity to the lens gives me the idea that you are going to be fingering and dirtying the lens frequently, I don't know.
You will tell us how about that aspect.
I still made a change. I had all the iPhones and one day I got bored of the same menu and all the iPhone software… what did I do? ... my brother had the new htc one x plus and I gave him my iphone 5, the truth is that the first days for me it was the opposite, but as the days went by I went into googleplay and all the launchers and other apps I liked and I was personalizing my htc and it remained my person (simple with a touch of the simplicity of the iphone with the robustness of android and that beautiful finish of the htc one x + to this day it continues to surprise me !!!!
In short, you came to the same conclusion as always where we compare a mac with a PC. It is the principle of Mac in which it offers you everything canned compared to the PC full of clones. But this Mac canning system has done amazing things. Andriod is a copy product and you will always be one step behind. Despite the freedom it gives you.
I have changed my HTC DESIRE HD for the iPhone 5S and you do not know how much I regret it. What a boring phone the IPhone. It can hardly be customized, everything is done. The one that only has a button that only serves to exit the applications or for the fingerprint tires me, also you have to press it, in my htc just putting your finger on it already worked. And the screen is so small, I have to keep moving it all the time. And then having to press up to go back, what a roll. The logical thing is that that option is down. Good thing I have a week left to change it.
I was totally disappointed, I switch to the HTC ONE, I sure love it.
I thought I was the only person who didn't like iPhone, I don't see anything special, rather things that disappoint me, I've been with him for a few months and I'm looking forward to catching one with Android. Thanks for the post, interesting to read different opinions.
Great Nacho,
Right now I have an iPhone 4 since 2010 and I am already considering the change, precisely to the LG G2, but of course the change from IOS to Android ... uff! In the end my decision will be between that LG and iPhone 5 for economic reasons.
So I would greatly appreciate if you could send me all your impressions.
