Google's Android is an extremely versatile and customizable operating system. Android phones usually offer better value for money than iPhone alternatives, and many models offer features that are absent in iPhones such as expandable storage and USB-C connectivity. With over 70% global market share, there is a huge range of Android models available, which can make it difficult to choose a specific model. There can be no best Android phone for everyone, because everyone will have different preferences when it comes to budget, screen size, battery life, camera quality, and specific features like a microSD slot and a headphone jack.
