Google sells its Nexus 4 Smartphones unlocked at a much cheaper
price than Apple. The device is priced at less than $200 dollars compared to
$649 for unlocked iPhone 5S. Nexus 4 coming at cheaper price doesn’t mean it’s
a low end device. It has a 4.7 inch HD screen with Gorilla Glass protection,
comes with suave body encompassing quad-core processor coupled with 2GB
RAM— makes the device a dream Smartphone.
9.Store more in cloud with Google

cloud space for the users. Google gives you more online storage space for free
and you get 15 GB with Google Drive compared to just 5 GB with iCloud. Just
sign up and start using Google Drive, and you need not to be owner of any of
the Google devices to use it.
8.Chrome over Safari
Google services like Gmail, Google Calender, Hangouts, and others
are indefensible for many. The use of these services with Chrome browser is
unbeatable by Safari, as the former syncs all your data across all devices
using your Google login.
7.Handling photos online

photos better than Apple does if you use Google+. The Search giant not only
gives you more space it can automatically edit the photos you upload to make
them look better.
6.Google handles your emails better

you use iCloud.
5.Google Now versus Siri

what time, Google Now is more useful and accurate than Apple’s Siri. When it
comes to the voice commands, Google Now turns out to be more receptive at wide
set of English accents.
4.Google Maps versus Apple maps
Apple to retaliate Google came up with its own mapping service.
The Cupertino based company even went to the extent of dropping Google Maps in
its iOS 6 update. It did not go well with the users, since Apple Maps was
buggy. Giving in to the users demand, Apple had to reinstate the Google Maps,
which had more accurate data and includes public transportation directions

Netflix, YouTube, other internet content, and comes at much cheaper cost at
just $35 than Apple TV which costs $99.

Google’s Android OS conquers about 80 percent of the Smartphones
used in the world whereas iOS runs on only 13 percent of them, according to
