Android has significantly more features than iOS. Both mobile systems are Unix-like systems. With Android 10 or 11, you can customize a lot more. For example, I can create a local personal Wi-Fi hotspot, I can do Wi-Fi sharing, I can create a 5Ghz Wi-Fi hotspot and there is no timeout. With iOS 14 it is only since iPhone 12 possible to create a 5Ghz Wi-Fi hotspot, but the Wi-Fi hotspot has a time out of 15 minutes (never changed with iOS). There is no setting to allow the Wi-Fi hotspot to stay on until the battery is empty or to turn it off manually, as is the case with Android or a mobile Wi-Fi router. There are many more details differences. Android is freedom, I don't need a Google account to install apps. I can download open source apps (apk file). On Android, custom Tastutar APP are much more seamlessly integrated into Android system than iOS. On iOS there are constant lag and bugs with custom keyboard. Android you can set up and use completely locally. With iOS you need a data connection without a data connection you can't complete iOS setup = no local use possible (you can't take photos either). Privacy. When you use Android with Google services, by default a lot of data is connected to external servers without asking the user, same for iOS. On iOS there are less external servers, but Google and Apple always know when you were online and always track you. With Apple it's even worse, because as I said before, if you don't want a data connection, you can set up and use an Android with Google service locally. With iOS products it is not possible, you need a data connection in the setup and later an Apple ID account to download apps. Sideloading on iOS is not user friendly, completely limited, requires external devices and online account. Conclusion: Android and iOS are not the perfect mobile systems for me in my eyes. Best are micro kernel systems or live systems that will come in the future. They are optimized for freedom, performance, security and works on a lot of devices more than a smartphone product. For example Fuchsia from Google or HarmonyOS (Huawei).

You will really talk about privacy and security when android is owned by one of top privacy/etc abusers Google? Not to say that its US company, hence you can forget about security as they are obliged to work with authorities lol Stop living in dream world or hollywood, wake up.

Peter, Apple is a US company and has the same privacy problems as Android (Google service) or Android (other service). Both US companies are complete dependence to the governments and money system. Only Android (AOSP) itself without Google service and other service are freedom and open source. Currently there are 3 different Android versions. Android with Google service, Android with Huawei service and Android (AOSP). The last is the original so similar to many Linux systems. No proprietary services are installed. The problem is simply that originally Android was free and google with their market power bought Android and thus prevented a successful mobile operating system from becoming independent and funded and supported by the community. why it is generally not possible is also because many areas in politics, economics and financial systems are dominated by men. Men tend to use power and hierarchy. more competent women and men who do not have these characteristics need to be in position to enable a harmonious way of life.

You really wanna say that Android is more private than iOS when Google 84% revenue comes from Google Ads which is by selling users data. Whereas Apple makes no income from any ads. In fact they added App Transparency where you can control if you can share your information or not. I don't recall Google taking any decisions like that

I have a Galaxy S20 5G and I've never been happier in my life, the freedom I get with this phone is phenomenal, but since apps work so well and seamlessly with iPhones, I can't seem to let go of them.😂 I have an iPhone 11 and I'm loving it even though it's a 60hz panel. Lol. This whole 120hz madness has to stop.. at the end of the day it balls down to software experience and stability and nobody provides better stability than Apple. 😌 Don't eat me. 😂😂

Bro, we've been using tech, features for decades that are now just barely working on iphone 14. Typ c will come with an iphone 15. Ridiculously funny how old iphone features are to us Droid users.

CyboVang, This is an update on my experience using the iPhone 12 after switching from my iPhone 11 due to issues with ghost touches on the latter. I must apologize if I ever doubted the power of the Snapdragon processor - I was simply unacquainted at the time. I now have a Galaxy S20 5G (Snapdragon 865), and I must say, this phone is incredibly fast! In terms of gaming, my S20 5G managed to run Asphalt 9 for more than 45 minutes without any hint of throttling, which genuinely surprised me given that my iPhone 12 could barely maintain its performance for 5 minutes without beginning to throttle. So much so for the "world’s fastest smartphone chip." The Snapdragon 865 maintained a steady 60 fps on Honkai Impact for over an hour, and without heating up a great deal. In contrast, the much-hyped A14 Bionic processor throttled significantly, dropping performance down to 28fps. I plan to sell my iPhone 12 and upgrade to the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra instead.

Android vs iPhone - the same age old argument. Who cares whether one OS is faster that the other on paper? At the end it's just figures. It really has become a game of cock worship - who's got the biggest one when praying at the benchmark alter. At the end of the day, it's what works best for YOU. Raw figures don't mean anything - just a fact of life - some prefer Android, some prefer iOS - for me, I switched to iOS after using Android for the past 10 years - something I never thought I'd do - guess I've grown up.

I truly care about performance, as it determines the lifespan of my phone. Despite the phenomenal performance of the A14 Bionic, it only runs on a 60Hz panel; on the other hand, Android offers the option to save battery life by switching to 60Hz or opting for full performance at 120Hz.

Josh, Higher refresh rate goes further than just gaming. It also helps with smoothness in videos (60hz runs smoother on 120 than on 60). Along with that, it helps with the smoothness of scrolling. A 120 panel will scroll smoother than a 60hz panel. Gaming is a good way to determine how the GPU will perform. Adding a screen that the native resolution is 120hz but the gpu won't handel 120 on ultra (which is what most people run. I personally run at whatever I can play with a smooth fr) For instance, I have a 3070 BUT still have a 1080p monitor that runs 240. Why???? Because at ultra (or even medium) with all settings tweaked for my liking (only game I play is r6) it plays so much smoother than my 4k ips display at 120 ( even though the gpu won't handle 4k 120hz unless i use Vulcan.....which still will drop fr in demanding frames i.e. nitro cells or any other explosion along with quick peaks with firefights. Overall I prefer a higher refresh panel that can handle the ghosting of low fps with a higher native panel......which this panel can handel. This phone is on point for the price no doubt.

The reason apple is faster is because it can optimize for one brand and one OS. Android is open source and has to optimize for a wide range of products. The big difference is the open source software in android! Android phones can be rooted much easier and you have the freedom to install whatever you please and do what you want with your phone. But, if you want security and a fast phone that just works, Apple is for you. One problem with iphones are that they slow with age through updates. This done to keep an aging battery to spec. Apple finds it better to underclock your phone and keep your battery hours up. Both are good phones and 99% of people on here will never use any of these phones to their full potential! The difference is so minimal in real life, that you can't tell. Also apple and samsung make each other's parts anyway. Then they sue each other. So you probably holding a "samapple"!

My s6, which hasn't had a battery replacement in closer to 6 years (while the iPhone has been in use for less than 5 years) still performs good enough and suffers *almost* zero lag in instagram or whatsapp

Antutu doesn't matter here. iOS is always a step ahead of Android. i'll say ***k android because none of them are best at security, ios is best in privacy. And if we get into software updates, apple gives software updates for 5 years. What about andriod? they give only 2 years of updates and 3 years for google devices. When we get into the games, in every flagship device i saw recently (865 and 865+) rendering lags in Andriod. But when in iOS in my xs max with a12 bionic chip i didn't saw any rendering problem.

Samsung Lover, That isn’t true. The data they store is to better tailor your iOS experience to you and you can opt out of it. Apple is the best in privacy because they not only offer you that choice, but they won’t give it to anyone. The most sensitive of information never even gets to them. It’s encrypted and stored on the phone itself. Dunno if google can say the same about their android os.

The 875 is gonna cost so much more than the 865+ that it’s gonna force many brands down to the 7xx series as we’ve seen with the Pixel 5. Apple has now gotten to the point where it’s impossible for Android to offer comparable performance at the same price point. The SE at $399 is only ~$250 more than the cost of the standard 865 alone. Samsung (and other OEMs) can’t justify putting the 865+ into a $399 phone, and the price will not come down because Qualcomm has to make their cut too.

You're apparently right 👍 When it comes to Android, most Android phones renders lag issues no matter the processor. It's better to not allow the app to run on the phone than allowing it when it's still gonna cause lag.. apple phones don't lag. Speaking of the A14 bionic and the snapdragon 875... I will generalize. Android's processor can never supersede Apple's processor. The both will keep having generations, but I don't think snapdragon will ever win.

I don't think most general public wants to mess with system or anything. They simply wants a easy to use and seamless user experience which Apple delivers way better than Android. In terms of performance, integration of iOS and Apple chip is so much better. Want video editing acceleration in iMovie or final cut pro or games? No problem, chip team will have a core within the chip made for that purpose. Want better security integration? No problem, secure core will encrypt all your face ID, password etc.... at a hardware level. It's not something Android comes even close.

And no I am not replying to start a debate lol Thing is while I agree what you call security (since I too used iOS for many years) one thing remains that nothing is totally secured, as even supercomputer was hacked this year So I'll leave the security thing other than that some mentioned that a14 or 15 will be far superior to android counterparts, again I agree but what good is all that power when you can't push it to MAX? A14 can only run on ip And run stuff from appstore (jailbreak is like dealbreak for many) On the other hand even a mere 636 or a midranger 730 can be put to brutal test Of course it's everyone's Personal opinion on what you want and desire And more importantly it's your money you spend. But for me I will never buy a iphone again, not because I cant afford it but because I feel I lose my freedom and all when I buy a apple product In the end Apple is for simplicity and should be used the way it is intended to be. Android is a open field, where you can build skyscrapers, use it as farm-sow different seeds and see what grows or can be a experiment gone wrong XD You need to decide if you want freedom or simplicity.

Matteo, Well y'All can talk about processors. But in this age of internet iphone's wifi antennae is rubbish comparatively like seriously. I have to go closer to router to connect than i would have to for android. I got iPhone X (birthday gift) so I know, the data cable is also rubbish 2.0... I have not been able to copy any videos to my desktop, I've tried half dozen cables, the one that came with phone as well. Pictures it can handle but videos oh it just can't take the load. oh how advanced and technologically superior! So what if the processor is fast. Its the INTERNET and DATA TRANSFER that's the other big part. And iPhones lose badly in that section.

Dave, True. You can do plenty of stuff on android, just dropped my third attempt to switch to it. iOS has limitations, sure, but even so, everything is so much more fleshed out and plenty of software is either nowhere to be found of android, either extremely unreliable.

Tech guy, I agree, I am the type of person who likes to use/side load third party apps and fully customize my phone to my liking. I also prefer speed, efficiency, and a good battery life over something that lasts. IOS’s biggest advantage over android is its security and simplicity, but to people like me those are simply jails instead of protection. Additionally Jail breaking IOS is just a straight up pain in the neck and side loading using IPA files are also such a hassle that I don’t need. Android provides much better specs than IOS for a cheaper price, are easy to customize, and you don’t need to root your device in order to side load apps. Like you said it really does depend on the person in the end of it.

The A14 is getting much praise for its improvement and I agree that it is a very good chip but if its barely scraping its way out on top against the 865 plus then the next test against the next chip from android will probably beat the next iPhone chip. For the price of the iPhone compared to the other gaming phones, such as the ROG, who give many more features and specs such as the 120-144 FPS or the massive battery. Apple just isn’t cutting it in my opinion.

Wonder how snapdragon 865+ and 875 would perform on proprietary Apple iOS, instead of open Android platform?

Android does have a lot more choices for cheaper devices, but right now Samsung's flagship phones are blowing Apples out of the water in every way. I guess we'll have to see what the iPhone 12 can do.

Kwakr, Why would you use phone for 4+ years when it becomes obsolete anyway... not to mention degrading battery life and display? Its lifecycle is 3 year max.
