Android VS iOS. Debate.

In life, when it comes to mobile operating systems, you only have two choices, Android or iOS. Hold it, don't even think about Windows phone or any other OS out there because they are all obsolete. Even BlackBerry will testify to this.

This weekend on Android VS iOS, I will be on the Android side. This means that I will give Android the leading edge over iOS this weekend. Pls this is just my opinion for this weekend. I love both platforms. And I also love Windows phone and BlackBerry too. Now action...

Android is owned by Google as we all know it. And it's an open source project, which means that other companies are able to participate in making it better. iOS on the other hand is owned by Apple and it's a closed source project, which means that Apple is in charge of every single thing therein. No other company is allowed to make phones with the OS.

To me, Android is better than iOS in two aspects, mutitasking and customization. When I say multitasking, am referring to the the king of Android, Samsung. I own a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and an Apple iPhone 6, but am so addicted to my Note 4 that I sometimes feel like selling off my iPhone 6. I'm not saying that the Galaxy Note 4 is 100 percent better than the iPhone 6, but it's about personal preference. I love the fact that I can customize my phone to my taste and multitask like a champ.

What's your take on this topic, do you think iOS is better than Android, comment below. It's weekend fun.

Samsung is already working on the Galaxy S7, and according to a leaked document that showed up in China today, there might be a model of the device that will employ the Snapdragon 820 (with model number MSM8996). The document also shows that a mysterious device dubbed "Jungfrau" has been added to the company's software development plan for Android M. Rumors suggest that "Jungfrau" is the codename for the Galaxy S7, but we're not sure of that yet.

In previous years, Samsung had been using Qualcomm's SoCs on at least one model of its flagship device. But this year, the company used its own Exynos SoC on its flagship devices. For now, it's not certain whether the company will do business with Qualcomm as usual next year, though it would be a welcome development for the users if it works out. See the documents below.
