It's PC vs Mac all over again.

Android is the best OS there is.
They should overtake the PC Market too - Windows is horrible and the AppleOs...OH i want to play a game but it doesn't work on the Apple OS so i just use my 123986234 $ thing i bought for surfing on the web!

Isn't android even in (Samsung)TVs,Smartfridges,Smartwindows and other things now?
Its everywhere!

Thing is, the vast majority of the Android phones sold are junk that the biggest Android fans would never touch...  They're cheap, but serve a purpose as a basic phone that will play some apps.  We're not comparings Apple to Apples here though ;) 

btw... Which do you think sold better...The Ford Escort or Rolls-Royce?

The most selling Android phones are Galaxy S3-S2-S-Note-Note 2, HTC One X-One S etc. Yes there are lots of cheap phones too which also sell a lot, which is another beauty of Android, there is a device for everyone.

Yep and the S3 is destroying the Iphone5 in performance aka THE MOST IMPORTANT THING WHEN YOU BUY SOMETHING!!!
So Android Phones are the highultra class while you pay to much for low class products that are somehow still considered as status symbols.

Sorry but the games are in iOS... for games the iPhone is better than any super high-end Android.

Some of us do more than play games on our computers.

Around half the developers I know run Macs. But hey, maybe they just use them to "surf the web". After all, we know how much developers care about looking cool for the hipster kids in coffee shops.

Correct.


It isn't just better for games.  It's better for everything. 

 

Nope, it is worse for everything, except the games, and the difference isn't that big. Watching videos, browsing internet, multitasking, customizability,  is some of the things high end ANdroid phones are better than Iphone. I can go on if you want.

People arguing over which has better games? That's like arguing whose poop smells better.

I was referring to the app store and the quality of apps. 

Some of the apps work better compared to mid end Android devices, I agree, but the design language of IOS is hideous. Some developers port their app with the same assets and I can't stand it.

The WP design language ( in apps) is also very minimalist and elegant.



I said it'd be this way years ago. Loved it when everyone argued against me.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

Yes the S3 totally destroys the iphone 5 in performance!

Oh wait...

"The iPhone 5 nips at the heels of the 3rd generation iPad here, at 1.65GTexels/s. The performance advantage over the iPhone 4S is more than double, and even the Galaxy S 3 can't come close."

"When we run everything at 1080p the iPhone 5 looks a lot like the new iPad, and is about 2x the performance of the Galaxy S 3."

Skeeuk: "playstation 3 is the ultimate in gaming acceleration"

lol the @YukanaSenix signature is so untrue.

All the comparisons found in the web shows iPhone 5 with better performance than Galaxy S3.
