Abandon the iPhone in favor of Galaxy S4? Pros and cons

Today, the mobile market offers a huge number of different manufacturers that produce all the new smartphones. Only HTC, Samsung, LG, Nokia and Sony demonstrated successful products that can compete with the iPhone. And that's not to mention the rest of smaller companies, which together put pressure on California corporation of phones, rather than their quality, as do the major players. In this regard, many, even the most devoted fans of iOS, want to experience new sensations - taste smartphone on Android. In addition to understanding all the intricacies of the geeks, casual users also think much to give up in favor of the iPhone Android-device.

Despite the enormous popularity and reputation as the Galaxy line of phones, it becomes increasingly clear that not only are these smart phones compete with the products of Apple. Latest hit from HTC - device called One also very good. There is also a Sony Xperia Z. And some of these products. These devices have almost caught up with the design, build quality and functionality of the flagship phone Apple. And sometimes offer even more than the last. And from all sides coming down criticism of Cupertino at the fact that a minor update in the form of «iPhone 5S» may not be enough to fully counter masthead "Google Phone". On the other hand, the issue is a revolutionary new product is fraught with Apple challenges. As a result, go to Cupertino - see.

One important user characteristics, the other - easy to use. This should depend on your choice - whether it will fall into the phone on Google-OS smartphone or Apple. Worth thinking about, what is more important - the big screen and eight cores, or positive feelings and ease of use. In Apple said that the specifications are not critical when choosing a device. Since sufficient to optimize the software to have the equipment and everything will be fine. Android-devices, in turn, often do not work very smoothly and steadily, with even the most advanced in iron. With the advent of Jelly Bean the situation is slightly better, but not that good. However, Android offers more features than iOS. One can argue only that users have the latest jailbreak.

Another argument against iOS - the big screen. Rather, it is even against the iPhone, and not iOS. Some four inches longer enough to fully experience the fun of surfing the Web or watching movies. Difficult decision for Apple to release the phone with the display more than four inches, as even with the screen of this size there are some difficulties in the use of one hand. On the other hand, HTC and Samsung continue to fill the market 4.8 - and 5-inch device. If you need a huge display - will likely have to abandon the iPhone later this year. Unless confirmed crazy rumors and the company did not release its own "smartphone."

Another point worth bearing in mind if you - a frequent user of iOS - it's services. We all know how great you can combine iPhone, iPad and Mac together with iCloud. Unsubscribe from this integration and sharing of "apple" of the ecosystem will be difficult, given that Android is not such a service. In addition, if you are used by applications such as iMessage, FaceTime, iCloud, iTunes, and so on - to abandon iOS will be even more difficult. And finally, all complicated by the fact that you spent a lot of money to buy programs. Of course, if you buy an application from the App Store.
