Compare Smartphones - Compare Operating Systems of Smartphones

When performing any smartphone comparison, there are a number of features you'll want to look at. One of the most important, however, is the operating system. Your operating system is the whole foundation of the way in which the phone works, and will affect the user experience as well as the apps available to download. Here's a quick guide to what you need to consider.

The User Interface
This is arguably the most noticeable part of any operating system. Any smartphone buyer wants their phone to be as easy to use as possible. We don't expect to have to read a huge manual to get things to work the way we want it to!

Apple's operating system, iOS, is known to be one of the simplest to use, which helps to explain the popularity of the iPhone. Android, on the other hand, is also hugely popular, especially with those who want a bit more flexibility with customizations. The Windows 7 interface tries to make things as simple as possible for the user.

Business or Fun Uses?
The main use of your smartphone will also help to make your choice of operating system easier. For example, Windows and Blackberry have a strong focus on business, and are often marketed towards companies. The former is particularly useful if you know you want to use the smartphone in conjunction with Microsoft Office and Outlook. iOS and Android, on the other hand, are marketed towards more casual users, though they still do have the ability to install business apps if you need to.

Apps
Next, consider the apps you want to use. If you're going on numbers alone, iOS has the biggest app store, with Android Market coming in a close second. Windows has a lot less apps, but is useful if you want continuity between Windows programs on the PC. On the other hand, iOS is the most closed and restricted of all the app stores, whereas Android is more open for developers.

Customization
Android provides a lot of options for customization. This is useful if you want a smartphone that you can tweak to get it working exactly how you like. However, if you want a phone that "just works" then you may find Android unnecessarily complex, and Windows or iOS could be a better choice.

Conclusion
So who wins the operating system smartphone comparison? It really is down to you and your personal tastes as to which operating system you choose. Apple wins if you want something stylish and extremely easy to use. Android wins if you want an open app store and an easy-to-customize option. And Windows wins if you want continuity between your smartphone and PC. Remember, however, that it also depends on the available carriers. There are far more Android options than any others, meaning it should be easier to find a carrier to suit you. Always check plan prices and reception in your area before you make that final decision.
