Fact : The Reason Android sells its because the Phones sell for 19 euros!

I wonder why my family phones take 5 seconds or more to load pages and the UI is horrible.

Android is poor man iOS.

It seems a bit unfair to blame Android for your family being so poor or stupid to buy extremely cheap smartphones and then expect them to have the same processing power as top-notch devices. If your family can only afford 19 Euro smartphones, be glad they're even able to buy a smartphone that will still do almost anything a several hundred Euros device can, just slow as hell.

On topic: Android not being the most popular choice in enterprise environments seems plausible to me. Android's key to success in the consumer market is offering the best value for money, being an open system where the user has far-reaching control over his device, and customers being able to choose between hundreds of models. In enterprise environments however, that's not important, it's even rather disadvantages.

Lol my family just doesnt care about Phones they just want them to call and texting nothing else.

Still Android sucks big time, if you want to be good you need to be good in all devices, i got a Lumia 710 wich was 199e and it flawless, fast and responsive.

Its just like football, how can Messi be the best in the World if he only plays on Barcelona ?? Ronaldo prove themself in many more teams.

Android is only good in some phones, thats why its a bad OS and iOS is miles miles miles ahead of it.

Also Apple trumphs google in every single department, well except search.

Its not a matter of poor or rich, its a matter that the OS is only good in some phones, Android is a giant LOL 

I have friends with IPhone 5, miles ahead of any Android device. I feel bad for Android users they will never get a flawless Experience like Iphone, ever.

Android is not the problem here, it's the phone manufacturers that make crappy devices, and cheap (uneducated) consumers who buy a low end device and then act surprised when it behaves like a low end device. This is similar to Windows, if you buy a $300 laptop from Walmart, it's going to run like ass, especially compared to a $900 ultrabook from Best Buy, this doesn't mean Windows is the problem in that case, your crappy device is. Android 4.1 runs like a dream on my Samsung GSIII, and I'd put it up against an iPhone 5 any day of the week. To be clear, ANDROID IS SOFTWARE, YOU'RE COMPLAINING ABOUT HARDARE HERE, on top of all that, your garbage Android phone is probably running a horribly outdated version of Android, again, not Google's fault. This would be like comparing the original iPhone (slow garbage with old software) to the Samsung GSIII (brand new high-end device), not even close to a fair comparison.

EDIT: I would agree with you about the Lumia 710, runs great even on cheap hardware. This is because the WP7 OS was designed and optimized specifically to run on cheaper hardware, while Android is more demanding and requires faster hardware to run. This does not make Android bad, they're just different. Android is great on high-end devices, WP7 or 8 is great on any device (mainly due to Microsoft's tight control on hardware specs). I have a GSIII provided by my job, and a Lumia 710 that is for my personal use, both are awesome.
