Mobile phones are ingrained in today’s culture. Almost everyone owns one, and most own a smart phone. Until recently, the only viable smart phone choice was the iPhone by Apple. But now, the ever popular iPhone finally has some competition in the mobile market. Gone are the days where Apple held the majority share of smart phone customers.

More and more people are discovering the superior benefits of the android platform based mobiles. And since mobile plans for smart phones are the same price regardless of the brand of phone, why not get more phone for the money?

iPhone is limited in that the phone does not allow the user to utilise an SD memory card. This means that the only memory available is the phone memory, so when it is full users will have to delete applications or photos. The iPhones are sold with three different choices in memory, 8 GB, 16GB and 32GB.

The more memory the phone has the more the cost of the phone. Android phones allow the user to utilise memory cards to save room on the actual phone memory. The Android phones firmware can also be updated, while the iPhone provides a closed firmware option.

Androids can be customized in almost any way imaginable. Everything from ringtones, wallpapers, themes and even the user interface can be customized on the android mobile phones.

Androids also offer a choice between different Android models. Carriers will offer users a choice of different Androids from different makers. The iPhone comes in one style and by one manufacturer. The iPhone is not nearly as customisable; changing ringtones and wallpaper are about the only options for users to personalise their phones.

Overall, Android phones allow the user to let their phone express their personality. Users can choose from a variety of phones instead of being forced to accept only one style. Android mobiles also allow for a wider array of customisation options than the iPhone. Today’s choice in mobiles ensures that users do not have to settle on a phone they do not love.Overall, Android phones allow the user to let their phone express their personality.
