Android alternative - these systems are available

If you are looking for an alternative to Android, there are other options besides iOS and Windows. You can get an overview of the advantages and disadvantages of the different operating systems in this article.

iOS and Windows as alternatives to Android

Even though Android is by far the most widely used operating system for smartphones and tablets, there are some alternatives. If you are planning to buy a new device, you will find various models on the market that use iOS or Windows.

1. iPhones with iOS are usually much more expensive than Android devices, but they convince with their speed and have the advantage that all popular Android apps can also be installed on them.
2. Although the selection of Windows Phones is small, there are some models from Nokia that are especially attractive for beginners due to their low prices. If you decide to buy a Windows Phone, however, you have to keep in mind that the number of apps available for installation is lower than for Android.

These alternative operating systems are suitable for Android devices

If you already have an Android device and are looking for another operating system for it, the choice is limited so far. An alternative is Lineage OS, which was developed on the basis of Android, but can be used independently of Google. If your device is compatible with LineageOS, you can download the operating system as a ROM and install it on your Android device. Also free to use is "Replicant". This has the same basic functions as Android and places great emphasis on protecting your data.
