Five Android Features I Miss Most When Using An iPhone

Ben Reid·November 29, 2014

Before I dare utter another word, I'd like to make it known that when it comes to the battle of the mobile ecosystems, I'm completely impartial. I love iOS, iPhone, and Apple products in general, but there's something about Android, namely Android smartphones, that always has me flirting with the likes of HTC One, among others. There's no doubt, at least, to my mind, that Tim Cook and his team have pushed a pivotal piece of software in iOS 8, adding a number of features that many have long since pined for, but there are still some features that I really miss whenever I'm using an iPhone.

How To Get The Best Feature Of Android 5.0 Lollipop On Any Device

Zayed Rehman·November 25, 2014

Android 5.0 Lollipop is still far from a major release on devices other than the Nexus 6 and 9 but the one feature - in addition to loads of others - getting a lot of attention lately is Smart Lock, with the option of adding trusted places. This location based trigger basically tells your device to ease off on the security measures in place for the lock screen on Lollipop.

However, this is Android we're talking about, and you can get the very same feature on any other device which is not even on Lollipop.

Notably, it bundles full-disk encryption as standard, a feature that cannot be disabled on any Lollipop device without flashing a new ROM, and while this isn't necessarily a bad thing, some new benchmark readings suggest that the negative impact on performance is considerable.
