Android catching up to iPhone in power, but it lacks these 3 features.

Android is already catching up to iPhone in many aspects, but some details still make using Chinese smartphones less convenient.

Instant return to the top

On iPhone, you just need to tap the top edge of the screen — and you instantly find yourself at the beginning of the page or chat. This works everywhere and every time, regardless of the app and the length of the feed. On Android, you usually have to scroll manually, especially when scrolling through long news feeds or chats.

AirDrop

Photos, videos, links, or contacts can be transferred instantly 'over the air' on iPhone — without internet and without third-party messengers. Analogues exist on Android, but they often work unstably, require compatibility between brands, or additional settings, which complicates the quick transfer of files.

Auto-fill codes from SMS

When a verification code arrives on iPhone, it immediately appears above the keyboard — one tap and the input is complete. On Android, this feature is often limited to a one-time scenario and mostly works in the manufacturer's proprietary apps, which can slow down access to services.

Apple is preparing for the presentation of the new iPhone lineup. Although Android has caught up to iPhone in many metrics, there are certain features that still make the American smartphone desirable among users.
