One of the main things that draws me to Android over iOS is the fact you can hide your apps in the Android app drawer. And for the apps you want to keep on your home screen, you can rearrange them anywhere on the screen.
It's an age-old Android benefit that's been touted for years in the ongoing "iPhone vs Android" fan wars. But with the iPhone X, it's never been more relevant. Wouldn't it be nice to hide all your app icons on the iPhone X and make its gorgeous edge-to-edge OLED screen shine with your home screen wallpaper?
The signature Android notifications shade is also a main selling point for the Android operating system. When you swipe down from the top of the Pixel 2's screen to bring up the notifications shade, you find everything you need in one place to manage your notifications and the core settings of the phone. Quite simply, notifications on Android are a lot easier to manage and more useful compared to their iOS counterparts. And you can quickly manage settings like Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, battery settings, airplane mode, and even the flashlight straight from the notification shade, too. I've rarely ever needed to go into the Pixel 2's settings menu as a result, and it's a lot more efficient than iOS.
There are a lot of ways that Android is more customizable and efficient than iOS, like the app icons and the notifications shade, but at the end of the day, it all boils down to personal preference. If you care about customization and general efficiency, the Pixel 2 offers the best experience.
