I'm not quite sure what motivates people to buy an expensive Android over an iPhone. However, many people buy Androids because they are the only cheap smart phones on the market and they work well. For example, if you're on a pre-paid plan Android is really your only smart phone option. This is definitely part of the reason their market share is growing so quickly. |
for me, the iphone screen is just way too small. no clue how i could pay so much for an iphone with maybe better apps to get this small screen for so much money and i couldn't enjoy the apps because of the small screen. my first android had 4" and i thought it was too small (and i only knew smaller screens before). playing the games or using the apps with the touchscreen and there is a big part of the screen just for your fingers. the iphone has still a 3.5" screen, the apps can be as good as they are, i have no (or not so much) fun with them with such a screen size. and surfing on the internet (that's what i use my phone most for) is even on a 4.3" screen not perfect, but way better than on a 3.5" screen.
when i saw the galaxy s3 announcement i thought that screen will be too big but since i saw that the phone itself isn't much bigger than the galaxy s2, i don't think like this anymore about that screensize. and i like super amoled more than retina.
and what's important as well, even the expensive android phones are cheaper than an iphone and i really see no difference in other things. some milliseconds faster here or there between some phones isn't so important for me. all these browser discussion and so on are useless because no one needs the standard browser. so yeah, only apps and screen make important differences for me and there i would decide for a minimum 4.3" screen nowadays
(that's all just why i would buy android instead of iphone and nothing against smaller screens in general)
