The 21st century has seen a lot of technological advancements and improvements. The emergence of smart devices that are intended to make life’s activities convenient while adding a touch of luxury to them has become immensely in vogue.
The evolution of phones, cameras, watches, televisions, computers, and the introduction of tracking devices have been technologically inclined with several brands and models currently on the market.
Apple and Android are the two stellar products serving users with technologically advanced devices for everyday usage. These two brands put in a considerable amount of effort to ensure that users have uncompromised quality with the use of any or all of their manufactured goods.
Below are 6 products that depict distinctions between Apple products and Android products.
Smart Phones – Most smartphone users make their purchases while putting into consideration the phone’s efficiency, screen resolution, storage, battery life, and price. Apple products averagely have better battery life when compared to Android products but due to the extensive variety of android smartphones, it has become difficult to prove truly which lasts longer. The battery of the Infinix Note 10 Pro is noted to have a 14-hour video streaming capacity while iPhone 12’s battery can last up to about 11 hours of live video streaming.
On the other hand, Samsung Galaxy 22 has a live video streaming capacity of 14 hours while iPhone has its battery running for 16 hours. The Operating System of Apple phones is based on the closed-source iPhone Operating System Simply known as the IOS. This system allows for phone applications to be taken through a rigorous procedure before being accepted unto the smartphone making its application list limited whereas Android operates on an open-sourced Linux Operating System which paves way for android smartphones to have a wide range of mobile phone applications at the users’ disposal.
Bluetooth Tracker Mechanisms – Being clumsy and losing touch with your devices can be a very frustrating experience. Both Apple and Android have manufactured Bluetooth devices that help track a connected smartphone in case of a loss. The Apple Air Tag is designed to, in unison work with other devices when the Bluetooth device is out of range from the connected phone. This creates a high possibility of the lost phone being found easily as other devices would be connecting and working with it until it’s found as the device also covers a very wide connection area.
While Air Tag is the sole Bluetooth tracking device for Apple phones, Android has a number of Bluetooth tracking devices to its name among which are the Samsung Bluetooth Tracking device and the Tile Bluetooth tracking device. Although the Samsung device works only on Samsung mobile phones, the Tile Bluetooth tracking device works well with all android smartphones. One major advantage of the Tile tracker is the Ring Trigger feature, which is remotely, immediately activated once the connected device is out of range.
Smart Watches – Both Apple and Android have manufactured watches that do not only tell time but also perform a number of functions that traditionally belong to smartphones. While both products are considered to be smartwatches, the Apple Watch Series has a number of functions that beat android smartwatches on the market.
With the exception of the Apple Watch Series 1, all existing Apple Series Watches are dust and water-resistant, can receive and place calls, and send and receive text messages while providing information on the vital health statistics of the user. A feature that is not common to all Android watches. Samsung Galaxy 4 and the Gramin Venu Music Edition are the models that currently possess these features. With reference to the battery life of smartwatches, Apple products do not have a strong life span. Apple products have a life span of up to 36 hours whereas Android watches can last up to 6 days upon charge.
Headphones. Apple Air pods and Android Earbuds use advanced technologies for the production of their headphones. Both products have the ability to be paired with each other. For instance, Air Pod Pro can be connected to any android device and Samsung’s Earbuds Pro can be connected to any Apple product. Unfortunately, Air pods have limited usage when connected to android devices. Features like Voice Assistance (Sir), Battery Life Check, Customized controls, and Automatic Switch features are rendered dormant.
Samsung’s Ear Buds Pro has its features active when connected to Apple devices.
Some features of Apple’s Air pods include the automatic switch between iPhone and iPad devices, the Battery Life Check and tonal alert when the battery percentage is at 20%, and the Water-resistant feature which withstands sweat and splashes of water. For Android headphones (Galaxy Ear Buds Pro), some dominant features are Auto Pause ANC Voice Detect which reduces the volume of music when it detects a conversation, Noise Cancellation Adjustment, and the Seamless Switch between Samsung phones and tablets, and the waterproof feature which allows the headphones a 1m depth in water for about 30 minutes.
Camera Quality. Both Apple and Android cameras are recently advanced in picture and video quality. thankfully, there is a series of picture editing tools such as Lightroom and VSCO apps that run smoothly for both Apple and Android. Though the difference between these two brands may sometimes be subtle, it is worth noting. While iPhone 14 Pro Max has a 2x optical zoom, the Oppo Reno’s stands at a 10x optical zoom. This distinction gives a greater picture and video-capturing experience than ever before.
