那些iPhone仍无法超越安卓的功能

With its iPhone 6 and iOS 8, Apple has introduced a few features that have been available on Android smartphones for quite some time.

随着iPhone 6 和iOS 8的发布，苹果引入了安卓手机上存在已久的一些功能。

For example, the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus will be the company's first smartphones to come with near field communication (NFC) — a technology that lets phones talk to one another via a short-range radio.

例如，iPhone 6 和iPhone 6 Plus 将会是近距离无线通讯技术，也就是通过手机进行短途通讯的领头羊。

This means you can exchange data and make payments by simply tapping your iPhone against another compatible device.

这样，你只要轻轻地点击屏幕，就能与另一部移动设备进行快捷通讯和支付的程序。

Still, you can still do a lot of things with Android phones that you can't with the iPhone.

再者，你还能使用安卓系统的手机完成许多iPhone仍未能做的事情。

You can add a bigger battery to most Android phones. The iPhone's back isn't removable.

安卓手机可以更换一块容量更大的电池，但是iPhone不行。

Many Android phones, like the Samsung Galaxy S5 and LG G3, come with a removeable back -- which means you can take out the battery. This is especially helpful if you find your phone dying quicker than expected. With some Android phones, you can simply pop off the back, take out the battery, and put a new one in when your phone is dead. The iPhone relies on a single rechargeable lithium-ion battery, which can be removed or replaced only by Apple technicians.

许多安卓手机，如三星Galaxy S5 和LG G3，都备有可拆卸外壳，也就意味着你能够更换电池。这是一个应付电池没电的人性化设计。你只需在手机没电的时候把外壳推出，拿走电池，再换一块新的就可以了。而iPhone则依靠直充的锂电池，但这只能由苹果的技术人员拆卸更换。

With some Android phones, you can open multiple apps at once.

安卓手机允许同时运行多个应用。

Several Android manufacturers layer their software over the plain version of Android, often adding their own features. On Samsung and LG phones, for example, you can open more than one app at a time and run them alongside one another. On LG phones, you can even move these apps around in separate windows, change the transparency of those windows, and resize them, as shown in the screenshot to the right.

有些安卓手机制造商为其生产的手机内置本公司发行的应用，通常还带有着企业标志。举三星和LG手机为例，你能够同时运用多个手机应用还能随意切换。LG手机，你甚至还可以把应用软件分配到不同的窗口，改变窗口的通明度，调整大小，如截图般在屏幕右侧显示。

You can charge your Android phone with any micro USB cable.

安卓手机可以用USB接线头充电。

You can charge most Android phones with any micro USB cable -- you don't need the specific cable from that particular phone manufacturer. That's not the case with Apple; you need the company's proprietary iPhone or iPad charger, called Lightning.

大多数的安卓手机都能够通过插入USB数据线进行充电，并且不需要使用制造商特制的数据线。但是苹果手机则相反，必须使用官方标配的充电器。

Some Android phones come with a micro HDMI connection.

某些安卓手机还有迷你HDMI连接功能。

Some Android phones come with a micro HDMI port, which means you can plug your smartphone directly into your TV. This isn't common on most flagships, but some of Motorola's Droid phones come with this connectivity option. The only ports available on the iPhone are its headphone jack and Lightning dock connector.

某些安卓手机都有HDMI端口，也就意味着你可以把手机直接连接到电视机上。不过大多数的大品牌并不常见。但是摩托罗拉的安卓应用手机则会提供这样的选择。至于苹果手机的唯一可获取端口则是耳机插孔和充电插口。

On the Moto X, you can give your phone instructions without even having to touch it.

用Moto X手机，无需触屏就能完成指令。

The Moto X's flagship feature is what Motorola calls its "Touchless Voice Controls." In the device's settings, you can configure it so Google listens for your voice to perform search queries, set reminders, get directions, and more. On most other phones, you would need to hold down a button or tap a microphone icon to launch voice controls. With the Moto X, you can train the phone to answer to your voice specifically when it hears a certain trigger phrase.

Moto X的旗舰特征在于其"无触控操作"。在设备的设置当中，你可以设置为当Google录入你的声音则运行某个指令，如搜索，提醒，导航等等。而大多数其他的手机，你要点击按钮才能实现语音操控功能。拥有一部Motor X手机，你能够训练其回应你特定指令的能力。

You can add more storage to Android phones with a micro SD card.

安卓手机允许扩充内存。

You can buy a cheaper Android phone with a low storage capacity and then add storage later if you need more space. Many Android devices come with an SD card slot or a micro SD card slot for expanded storage. With the iPhone, you're restricted to the amount of local storage on your device. You can always store files in iCloud and upgrade once that's full, but there's no expandable storage option for the iPhone's hardware.

你大可以购买一部便宜内存小的安卓手机，然后在你有需要的时候增加内存。许多安卓设备都配有SD卡槽以备用户所需。如果使用iPhone，你则限制于本机储存容量。你还得经常把文件上传到云端，并且储存空间满了还得更新，但是对于iPhone来说并没有额外的扩容硬件。

On most Android phones, you can swipe down from the top of the screen to get shortcuts to a bunch of settings.

大多数安卓手机，都能够从手机顶端向下滑动获取快捷操作。

Most Android phones (again, especially those made by Samsung and LG) come with a ton of "Quick Settings" that are accessible when you swipe down from the top of the screen. The Galaxy S5, for example, comes with 20 quick settings that include a power-saving mode, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi buttons, and controls for its own features like Smart Stay and Smart Pause. The iPhone, by comparison, comes with about 10 shortcuts when you swipe up from the bottom of the screen, and you can't customize them.

大多数的安卓手机(没错，特别是三星和LG品牌的手机)都能通过拨动向下屏幕获取快捷操作。举三星Galaxy S5为例，有20个快捷操作，包括省电模式，蓝牙已经Wifi连接功能按钮，还可以使用本品牌特有的功能如延时或暂停。相比之下，苹果手机只有大约10个快捷操作，甚至还不能按照用户的要求设置。

With Android, there's much more room for customization than iOS.

安卓手机，还允许更人性化的用户设置。

Most Android fans know that it's great for those who like to customize their phones. On Android, you can do much more than simply change your phone's wallpaper. With apps like Buzz Launcher and Aviate, you can actually change your phone's interface. The screenshot to the right shows what your app drawer looks like in Aviate. Apps are arranged alphabetically in a more list-like format rather than the standard grid layout.

大多数安卓手机的爱好者都会发现，允许用户自行设置是一件很棒的事情。你不仅可以更改桌面背景，启动或运行桌面还可以改变手机的界面。右旁的屏幕截图能够显示你的桌面。应用软件还能按照字母顺序排列，这样相比机带的显示更具条理性。

Add widgets to your Android phone's home screen.

手机屏幕可以增添小装饰。

Android allows you to embed widgets directly into your home screen and move them around as you please. Think of a widget as sort of like an app that's embedded directly in your home screen, or a large icon that you can interact with. The iPhone offers similar functionality with iOS 8 (i.e. the stock and calendar widgets in the notification drawer), but you can't move these around and put them on your home screen.

安卓手机允许用户根据个人喜好增添屏幕小配件。比如你想增添一个直接进入软件的小挂件或一个醒目的图标。虽然iPhone iOS 8 也有类似的小装饰(证券交易与日历小挂件)，但是你无法移动它们至主屏幕。

You can use your Android phone as a remote control.

安卓手机可用作遥控器。

A lot of flagship Android phones, like the HTC One, LG G3, and Samsung Galaxy S5, come with an infrared blaster. This means you can set it up as a remote control for your television, air conditioner, speaker, and nearly every other household appliance you can imagine.

许多安卓手机的旗舰牌子，如HTC One, LG G3, 还有三星Galaxy S5,都设有红外线发射器。也就是说你可以把手机设置为电视，空调，播放器甚至你能想象到的家电的遥控器。

Swap out the back cover.

更换外壳。

Some Android phones allow you to remove the back cover, which means you can swap them out and replace them with different colors and styles. Samsung sells its Flip Cover for the S5, for example, which clips on to the back of the phone.

某些安卓手机允许用户更换外壳，也就是说你能够按照个人喜好更换手机外观风格和颜色。三星S5有其特制的翻盖保护套，你就可以把封面翻到底部作为支架。
