Android vs iOS: Which Should You Choose?

There are two operating systems that smartphones operate. Apple is the company that almost half of its income comes from their iPhone devices. Samsung, LG, OnePlus, and other phone companies use the Android system and some of them have their own version of Android. While the operating system is something that doesn’t play a big role in the customer’s decision about which phone they’re going to buy, it still makes a difference. In fact, getting the latest update on your Android or iOS device is something that customers should take into consideration if they want their smartphone to run smoothly.

Differences between Android and iOS

Android or iOS, it’s all a matter of choice. Both systems are regularly updated and smartphone users can either opt for manual flashing or the automatic update when they receive the notification on their smartphone. Indeed, games like roulette slots on casino.netbet.com are already available to download from the App Store and Play Store on your smartphone device. It means that you won’t lose much if you chose one instead of the other, however, the differences are still there.

 iOS devices are known for the high level of stability, which is free of bugs, and allows customers to have a pleasant experience using their iPhone devices. Android systems, on the other hand, offer more possibilities that the casual user might need. Depending on the customer’s needs, here are some noticeable differences between the two systems, which one you should choose, and why.

Why Choose iOS?

Software updates is what makes the biggest difference between Android and iOS devices. iOS users get notified about the latest software update the moment it becomes available for all users. All iPhone users get the system updated at the same time. On the other hand, not all Android smartphones get their software update the moment it is released.

Whether you will be some of the first users to receive it or not depends on the smartphone’s brand. Bloatware is another factor to consider in the battle between Android and iOS smartphones. iPhone devices come with no preinstalled apps that occupy a large part of your storage. Android systems are known for covering a lot of space before the customer has even started using the smartphone.

Why Choose Android?

Surely, there are reasons why people opt for Android smartphones rather than iOS devices. In fact, Android phones are highly customizable, and the system offers a lot of personalization opportunities. From home widgets to the screen launcher, users have the option to optimize their smartphone use according to their needs.

The Android system always allows you to choose which app you will use to open a file, the pre-installed app or the third-party app downloaded from the Play Store, no matter if it’s a media player, a keyboard, or a web browser. Last but not least, most of the Android phones give users some extra capacity features, and customers can insert a microSD card to expand the storage on their smartphone. No matter which phone you decide to buy, it’s important to evaluate your needs so that your smartphone will suit your daily needs, whether you need only a calling and texting device or all-in-one device that will perform all kinds of things on a daily basis.

LG Eyes Mainstream Adoption of Wearables With First Device Powered by Android Wear

“Glance-able” Interface of LG G Watch to Appeal to both Consumers and Developers

SEOUL, June 26, 2014 – With an eye on transforming wearable devices into more than just a conversation piece, LG Electronics (LG) today introduced the highly anticipated LG G Watch (http://goo.gl/Ie8TB0), one of the first devices powered by Android Wear™, Google’s new operating system which extends the Android platform to wearables. As a wrist wearable device featuring a button-less design, the G Watch will appeal to a mass audience with its simple minimalist design, quick and “glance-able” access to useful information and seamless connectivity with other Android devices, keeping users connected wherever, whenever.

“As one of the first to market with Android Wear, LG wanted to develop a product that functions as an essential companion device but most importantly, was simple to use,” said Dr. Jong-seok Park, president and CEO of the LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company. “We wanted a device that would be simple to learn and so intuitive that users wouldn’t even have to think about how to use its features. That’s what the LG G Watch is all about.”

“Watches powered by Android Wear aim to show you the right information and suggestions you need, right when you need them,” said Sundar Pichai, SVP, Android, Chrome & Apps. “It’s been great to work with LG on the launch of the G Watch ? especially given its simple, easy-to-use design.”

At the core of the LG G Watch is a powerful and energy-efficient Qualcomm Snapdragon™ 400 processor clocking in at 1.2GHz. Paired with a low power consuming Always-On 1.65-inch IPS display with true-to-life color reproduction, the LG G Watch enhances the functionality of Android smartphones by providing quick access to useful information. The Always-On screen makes it easy to tell the time with a quick glance. Connected via Bluetooth, the LG G Watch displays messages, shows who’s calling, controls music playback and more without the smartphone ever having to be removed from a pocket or bag.

Integral to the LG G Watch and Android Wear is a simple new user experience designed around cards, which provides useful information when it’s needed, and voice recognition which allows one to ask questions and get things done easily. With voice recognition, LG was free to design the LG G Watch without any buttons or keys. Users can send text messages and search for useful information just by saying, “Ok Google”. LG and Google worked closely together from the outset to design a truly integrated experience.

The LG G Watch combines form and function in a subtle, minimalist design with an intuitive touch-based user interface. And with an Ingress Protection rating of IP67, the LG G Watch is designed to be protected from dust and water resistant for up to 30 minutes to a depth of one meter. The LG G Watch will be available in two colors ? Black Titan and White Gold ? and is constructed of PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) coated stainless steel with a rugged silicone wristband in matching color. The LG G Watch can be personalized with any standard 22mm strap available in the market.

The LG G Watch will be available for pre-order on the Google Play Store starting June 25 in 12 countries including key markets such as the United States, Canada, UK, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, South Korea and Japan. The LG G Watch will also be available soon after at retailers in 27 markets such as Australia, Brazil, Mexico, New Zealand, Singapore and Russia. Additional details will be announced locally at the time of availability.
