Jan Kaufmann Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 (edited) I Use my mobile all the time, For social communication, For apps, For games and for music and videos. Without my mobile I would be lost, It's a huge part of my life, But... Since there are a few different options around these days in terms of what each mobile OS can offer. Which OS is it that you prefer? I'm a huge fan of Android, I'll admit to that, After using Windows Phone and Apple iOS, I still always come back to an Android device. To be honest, I Don't know why, I just like the way it all feels and runs, It's a lot smoother (IMO) compared to other operating systems. However like i said before, Which Operating system do you prefer and why? Edited July 30, 2013 by Jan Kaufmann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markku Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Android for me, I love android mobile phones, The OS is smooth, responsive and simple. + There's sooo much apps on the "Google Play Store" ^_^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 I'm split on this. I owned a HTC One m7 for six or so months but recently switched to an iPhone. I think iOS is much easier to use and just works compared to Android being a bit more complicated (not by much, I'm used to flashing custom ROMs etc). iOS also feels much cleaner and user friendly.

wrux Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 I like android but the manufacturers faff about with the custom UI's too much. I've got an iPhone as most android phones are way to big nowadays & Apple have always been great with build quality and UI design Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominion Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 answering a thread from last year? OK. :p I like both although my current phone is an android currently on KitKat 4.4.2. I don't think I could own a Samsung or any other phone with such a large amount of installed junk on it. If I'm honest this is the first 5 inch screen I have had, and phones are still getting bigger. That is a problem in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are getting so big the buttons are all on the side so you can kind of use it one handed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Script47 Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 I must say iOS, only because I've never owned an Android powered phone. I prefer iOS because of its simplicity and clean UI. I find that to be the biggest plus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishraq Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 I have a HTC One M7 which uses the ARHD custom rom and the iPhone 5S. Both phones come in handy for me at different times. Android is definitely better than iOS. Much more control over the phone and you can actually download stuff to your phone whereas in iphone they want to control your life. It only seems to be simple and runs smoother because its straightforward and there's limited things that can be done. Also the fact that not all flash website works on the iphone plays a big part in why I would rather using android. But anyway for me.... I have both to play around with. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HazardBoy Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 I have and like Windows 8.1, Nokia Lumia 620 -100eur phone with awesome case colors + Nokia apps. Affordable and reliable phone. got 4 to 5 days up-time with WIFI on and battery saver on. Browsing without scroll lag and impressive response speed. Brought it with this case [ATTACH=CONFIG]1414[/ATTACH] Sometimes I like playing games on my Nokia n-gage. It gives you that feeling like driving a mustang from 67'. My love goes to Symbian OS RIP.

Samurai Legend Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 I have a Nexus 5. It's probably one of the best phones you can get. My two older brothers have an Iphone 5. And my whole family share an IPad. To be honest I don't like it at all. Android is probably best OS you will every get. With android you can do many things.

Infamous DPK Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 I run a custom rom and it's not buggy for me.. Works perfect. I prefer android by far and I've used the ios for years never really grown on me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holly Andrea Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 I've had 3 iPhone's and whilst I love them, I love my Nokia Lumia 1020 even more! The camera is amazing, The quality and contrast of the photos you can take is beautiful, The colours aren't too bad either. But... It uses the Windows OS, I hate the OS! So for me iOS wins.

Magictallguy Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 My custom ROM built based on CyanogenMod - I was, and am still happy with my phone (even though I hate phones and, therefore, barely ever use it!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishraq Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Buggy roms, having to restart every couple of hours because the system stalls -- a few con's too. haha. I don't know where you get your custom roms from. There's no bugs anywhere. Most common mistakes people make is not wiping data when coming from another rom or significant upgrade. They are the reason bugs occur. I now have the HTC One M8 and still have the iPhone 5S.... waiting on the iPhone 6 -_- (taking forever). I already started programming applications and editing custom roms for Android and iphone apps. So having both phones is good for me. However, there's no doubt, but the Android system is by far the greatest. (HTC makes things even better with their SENSE. Literally why its the best phone out there 2 years in a row). It has no limit to its abilities, iphone is user friendly and more organised but its a bit too friendly lol. More like its controlling your life. itunes is a pain in the arse. BTW if you need help or want to know more about phones in general, ios, android, system... everything. Go to XDA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dominion Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 HTC one (m7) wasn't (in my opinion) the best phone of last year. It had its strong points, but not what I wanted out a phone. The M8 does fix some issues I had (for example it now has a micro SD card slot), but I would still pick other phones over it. What you want out of a phone is all down to how you use it. Claiming one phone was the best of last year could only work from either your point of view or based on benchmarks (something the HTC doesn't dominate on).
