iOS, Android or Windows 10 Mobile

[Frisco]

I have been researching the mobile smartphone market and these are the top 3 that I am seeing. Which one do you prefer?

I am very interested to see how this poll will go. I have no idea what the majority prefers.

So, it gets weird. First of all, don't include Windows 10. it's DOA. I would say I prefer Android as an OS (and I do), but there is no hardware and software experience quite like iPhone. So I voted for iOS, but for the whole package, which I think is fair because that's the only way you get iOS.

Chrome OS.

Yeah, this won’t be very scientific. Posted in the Alternatives forum means the members here will likely lean Android. Posting in the iOS forum would mean exactly the opposite. And posting on an platform agnostic site would likely mirror general market share. No real need for this poll.

P.S. I though this might’ve been a resurrected thread with Windows Mobile listed. As mentioned by @AustinIllini, including it is pointless.

The perfect phone to me would be the iPhone X running stock Android 8.1. I think iOS just blows chunks, still waiting for Apple to wake up and make it good, but year after year still the same crappy OS.

But hey that's just my opinion.

Chrome OS.

So a browser with bad, stretchy android apps?

That was yesterday, today it's a fast browser OS, running Android Apps smoothly, with MS Office, all in multiple touchscreen windows with a touchpad and pen.

A - Android
B - iOS

99% market.

Windows Phone/Mobile is still around?

Throw in desktop OSes in the mix..

Android
macOS
Windows 10
iOS
Chrome OS

 

[AustinIllini]

In order (independent of hardware):

macOS
Android
iOS
Windows

That's about it. Still am not counting ChromeOS. Sorry, it's just not done.

Google will never recover

Google is smart to have a secure OS at a cheap price, but it's just a little too restricted to be truly relevant outside of the education sector.

Like, I can't recommend a Chromebook for most people, yet.
