I found these phone easier to use than the iPhone. What a good joke. My father is 81 and he is using my old galaxy S4 no problem. Android phones are for people who want a decent phone for much less money.

      AnonD-292154, 18 Nov 2015Many people are buying android phones because of the priceYes, a cheaper price is also practical. Who wouldn't choose a cheaper option if the specs are on par with each other.

        I guess that a technical person would do whatever they can with whatever phone they have, but android is the more common\sensible choice.

        Android can be customized much easier, whether its cheaper or not. Who said that technical people can't like cheap phones?? I'm sure that technical people would prefer cheaper phones to experiment on. For the reason that if it breaks, its not that much of a waste of money.

          Hear this loud and clear. I would never buy a Samsung running this Tizen Crap. This is what is keeping me away from buying your S2 smart watch.

            Tizen is not yet reaching the crowd.Samsung has to focus on marketing the phone by stating OS pros with other popular OSs.High light the OS concept than the phone itself.Phone features are obviously well identified by buyers when they buy.

              Anonymous, 18 Nov 2015Wrong. People are buying android because its more practical... more99% of what people do with their android no matter its low , mid or high range also same what people do with iphone .

              All the basic thing like Call , Message , Surf internet , selfie , Games , Music ,Video .

              if they do different thing that ios cant do , only people want to show of to apple guy that their phone got lot of feature that nobody used or know they have it.

                          I'm naming three things:

                          Sony has 4K display
                          Sony has waterproof
                          Sony software/UI is much responsive and lag free than TouchWiz.

                          Of course I'm not saying Sony is better...you asked I answered :)

                                  Tizen, Jolla, Ubuntu Touch they are all true Linux based mobile OS's.. The only possible alternative to Maemo 6/Meego Harmattan.. Android is going down
