No matter if your smartphone is an iPhone or an Android model, you have probably experienced app failure, annoying lag, hardware problems or some other kind of malfunction. After all, it is just an electronic device, and no such device or its software are perfect. But you know that, don’t you? What you probably weren't expecting to hear is that, according to analysts, Android smartphones are generally performing better than their iOS-based rivals in terms of trouble-free operation.
This is one of of the key findings of a report released by Blancco Technology Group. According to the document called “Q1 2017 State of Mobile Device Performance and Health report”, the number of the malfunctioning mobile devices has slightly increased in the first quarter of 2017 both on Android and iOS side. But Android is said to be leading over iOS in the area of smartphone reliability. In the report, the reliability of the devices is compared through the so-called failure rate – a term, which here “refers to devices that had excessive performance issues that could not be resolved”. Blancco claims that the data is relevant, as it is “collected from millions of iOS and Android mobile devices that were brought into mobile carriers and device manufacturers for diagnostics testing in North America, Europe and Asia during the first quarter of 2017”.
So, according to the Blancco Mobile Diagnostics testing data, which is the basis of the estimations, the overall failure rate of Android devices stood at 50% in Q1 2017 — a slight increase from the previous quarter (Q4 2016), when the Android failure rate was 47%. Despite this increase, Android devices are still performing better than their iOS counterparts, as the iOS failure rate has increased from 62% in Q4 2016 to 68% in Q1 2017, the report says.
