The smartphone race is pretty much a two-man battle right now. There's Google's Android operating system and Apple's iOS for iPhone.

Both are good. 

But when it comes to certain features, Android may be a better option for you than iPhone. We picked out the stuff Android phones (and in some cases, tablets) tend to do better than the iPhone.

#10 Expandable storage

We store a lot of stuff on our phones. Sometimes the built-in storage isn't enough. That's why we love how many Android phones let you pop in a Micro SD card for extra storage. Plus it's a lot cheaper than spending another $100 or so on a model with more storage.



#9 Built-in navigation

After all these years, the iPhone is still missing a built-in turn-by-turn navigation app. Google Maps is just OK if you need directions on the iPhone, but it doesn't give you the audio and visual cues that Android's app does. 

We've heard rumors Apple may fix this in iOS 6, but for now, Android does maps better.



#8 More hardware choices

If one smartphone model doesn't cut it for you, there are dozens of Android phones to choose from. Each one has a different screen size, storage option, processor speed, price, etc. If choice in hardware is very important to you, Android is your best option.
