This is why there are millions and millions of people who prefer Android.

Here are some proof that Google-powered smartphones are ahead of the competition:

DOWNLOAD BOOSTER

– With this feature, people can now download large files faster. Samsung has been the only phone to have harnessed the power of this technology and has made it available in their Galaxy series. All you need is to have a strong data plan, as it combines Wi-Fi with your data service.

CHARGE WITH ANY MICRO-USB CABLE

– Apple’s new Lightning connector only works with the latest iPhone and iPad units. But Android phones, even the older ones, only need a micro-USB cord to be able to charge their phones.

SUPPORT FOR DUAL SIM CARDS

– In a lot of countries, mobile users have two SIMs for personal and business transactions. Travelers also prefer to use dual-SIM phones to be able to communicate overseas. Apple doesn’t have this feature, but most Android handsets have. What’s more, the Android 5.1 allows users to use a new dialer app to switch between SIMs and even change the interface’s color scheme to help the user tell which card he or she is using.
