Android
Peripheral management- Android
Android allows the user to turn on and off different parts of the device through the settings menu, the user can choose how bright they want the screen, if they want Wi-Fi on or off, they can also connect Bluetooth deceives to their device for example a hands free ear piece, there is also the ability to make a personal hotspot with their mobile data, and choose whether they want certain people on it.

Security- Android
Android doesn’t nearly have as much security as iOS, but it makes up for that with the apps that you can download to protect the device against malware and other malicious software, Android also allows the user to make a password lock to their device so no one can access it with out the password, also on some devices I you set a number passcode and repeatedly get it wrong the device will not lock the user out.
File management- Android
Android allows the user to go in to all the files on the device which is unlike iOS where they want to protect that part of the OS, Android allows the user to access it and change files at their own risk, android also allows the use of external SD cards for storage. The user can also go onto a computer and manage their files that way either through the operating systems file management e.g. windows explorer or through the program that the device comes with.
Device drivers- Android
Like iOS Android doesn’t really have device drivers it already come pre-installed with everything it needs including on some devices the computer program that allows the user to interact with the device on the computer with ease.
Customising- Android
Android has about the same level of customisation as iOS but it has some features that iOS doesn’t have, for example android allows the user to use widgets on their home screens instead of just apps, it also allows the user to have a different type of back ground, a live wallpaper that is animated so the user can download one of their choice and put it on, the user can also choose what type of text input they want to us.
Media support- Android
Android has the same amount of media support as iOS , however android does allow the use of external SD cards for storage.
Stability and reliability
From the use of an android device I can say that it s stable but as always it never used to be, however the reliability is un paramount to iOS , it does rely on the device slightly but normally it is optimised for that device, and it rarely crashes.
Cost and support- Android
Android is an open source project, you can not get it separately from the a device unless you are editing the code in order to make it to your liking. The support for android is like the support of iOS but you need to know a bit more about your device like its serial number.
