Best of the best Look & Feel
There are no major design variations and fluctuations in the iOS 8
compare to iOS 7. iOS 8 fails to prove itself that much dramatic
equivalent to older version as iOS 7 comes with a real world objects
and deliver something bolder, more colourful and considerably
flatter. iOS 8 is just an enhancement and slight modification rather
than an advancement and new revolution.
Android’s 5.0 Lollipop goes for a little bit design modifications
compare to iOS. Google has announced a new ‘Material Design’
appearance for Android. Lollipop version brings more depth into the
look using various shades and also automatically crafts different
colours based on the content being presented to the user.

marketplace across the globe. It’s a very tough task to compare and
differentiate between both of these as both comprise an amazing

Affluent Battery life
Google’s Android Lollipop 5.0 version makes use of Project Volta’s
battery saving technology. Thus new battery saving mode coming
with Lollipop will give the 90 minutes more battery life. It supplies
more stretched battery life compare to KitKat version.
iOS 8 becomes more proficient than formerly it was, but still looking
power hungry. We would like to see Apple introduce a feature which
is battery-savvy as iPhone are disreputable for their poor battery life.

keyboard. This is the key reason Apple’s iOS 8 announces capability
to install third party keyboards with additional possibilities. All you

Handoff
A fresh and a big feature of iOS 8 ‘Handoff’, going to boost the value
of Apple amongst the customers. It will let you use an OS X
computer. According to this feature, if you have recently been
producing an email continuing your journey to home and when you
have just reached home, your own Mac PC may automatically ask
you to pick up that mail on OS X computer. It will let you answer the
phone calls and text messages from your Mac, so all you need to do
is link your phone to the computer by signed in into the same
account from the phone and on the same Wi-Fi network.
Some these kinds of features are available for Android too, but third
party apps are required and it’s not as smooth as Apple’s Handoff. If
you own a Chrome book, Android Lollipop will automatically unlock
your laptop when your smart device or tablet is nearby it and your

operating systems. Apple’s “Healthkit” works with the new health
related applications and Google offering is called “Google Fit” for
Android’s Health and fitness.
Both serve for the same purpose to keep an eye on your health and
fitness data. “Healthkit” and “Google Fit” both are advantageous for
the developers but Apple’s Healthkit is like passbook which is pulling
together data from other health and fitness app into one.

Widgets and customization
Barely any one can rebuff the fact that with at most customizability
Android proves itself the ruler of widgets. In iOS 8 widget s are
placed in the pull-down panel, which make them available from any
screen, any time. However, the selection of widgets in Apple’s iOS 8
is quite restricted compared to Android’s rich widget collection.
In the matter of personalization, Android’s Lollipop 5.0 is as flexible
as we would expect it to be. In this respect, again iOS 8 is a slight
restricted.
