In the world where technology has taken over everything and has made our lives a lot easier, there are many inventions that we can count on as a necessity of today’s life. One such invention is the smartphone, the more current device the more features and improvements it has. Android smartphones are highly demanded and has over 80% smartphones market share. However, there are few things that an Android smartphone is unable to do such as:

However, the latest Android phones get the notification very soon but some phones which are a year or more than one year older don’t receive the notification to make their phone up to date and enjoy the latest features even after several months. Some older phones receive new version updates, eventually, but some never do. When buy phone outright, do check which version of Android they can be updated to.
2. Androids Can Get Hacked Easily

3. No Feature of Synchronized Messages
Android lacks the feature of synchronized messaged which mean you can only receive or send messages from a single device which has your network sim. There is so such Android ID through which you can get the access to your messages on other Android smartphone.
4. Not All Android Phones Have Touch ID
Android phones are not likely to adapt new technologies as fast as Apple do. All Android phones don’t have fingerprint sensors which makes the users worried about their phone’s security, only the ones that come with Marshmallow have. And to improve the security of the phones, many manufacturers started to implement the feature themselves.
5. No Default Video Call Feature
If you are an Android user and want to communicate with your close ones through a video call then, you would need an application which allows you to make video calls using your internet. An iPhone has an in-house facetime feature through which you can make video calls without any need of a third-party application, Android lacks the feature. But, not to mention, there are literally thousands of video call apps on Google Play Store.
6. Can’t Make Payments Through Messages
An exceptional feature of iPhones is that you can make payments through simple text messages which has made life a lot easier for Apple users. But Android users are still unable to enjoy the feature.
7. Built-In Screen Recording
Android phones don’t have a built-in screen recording feature. There are many important things that you need to record and save, but for that, you would need an application from Google Play Store in order to record screen.

However, if you think there are lacking in Android and looking for mobile phones outright to buy, iPhones are the best option for you.
