In recent years, with successive improvements of Android, we have seen the iOS market share (which was the undisputed king) has been declining in favor of the green robot operating system. And is that more and more people migrate from iPhone to Android, either by stagnation of iOS (not iPhone) or the desire to change to an ecosystem that does nothing but grow and improve.
migration is not always easy, especially if you’re one of those users who for years has worked only with Apple products, since the philosophy of both operating systems is completely different, and that’s something we have to psych from the outset. However, everything is used and, with these simple tips, sure everything will be much easier.
Choosing the ideal device 
seems obvious but it’s something that people who migrate from iOS to Android do not often much. Unlike iOS, Android smartphones are hundreds of hundreds of differences, so choose the smartphone that suits our needs is essential for the Android experience is correct.
Assuming that anyone who comes from an iPhone look for a high-end smartphone, the main models are currently considered: S4 Galaxy, HTC One, Xperia Z, Nexus 4 and probably the Note 2. Is there more? Sure, but these are the most complete Android smartphones that you can find at the moment.
who comes from an iPhone will seek a similar experience as iOS, so the Nexus 4 could be the ideal solution. It offers good value, very pointer hardware, constant updates, and above all, a closer relationship between hardware and software. However, the Nexus 4 is not the perfect smartphone, and set apart as the camera or the battery limps a little, hence we begin to look at alternatives from other manufacturers.
first contender would be the HTC One, whose great build quality earns enough points to those migrating from an iPhone, also has a super-hardware pointer, standing at the pinnacle of performance. The problem of the One? Basically updates. Unlike the Nexus 4, these come from HTC, so arrive a little later and, perhaps with the odd bug. Also, you lose the Pure Google experience, as HTC modified Android interface with its Sense layer, which you may like or not. The positive part is that it adds Sense interesting things like TV or Blinkfeed Sense, but is up to you if you have to sacrifice good constant updates and optimization functions how are you. If you do not mind sacrificing, the One is the perfect smartphone for you if you want a device with great build quality, the best possible audio and screen and you can live with a 4.3 megapixel camera.
The second contender would be the Samsung Galaxy S4, which clearly is intended for all those who want to get away as possible from iOS, since the differences with the iPhone are huge. To begin construction of the device is more plasticky, which causes loss of quality but at the same time, with a lower weight and thickness. In hardware, a device is sublime, as has the latest on the market, which is noticeable in performance. Moreover, as far as software is concerned, Touchwiz layer adds even more interesting and attractive features that Sense, but back to the same problem with the HTC One: is it worth sacrificing extra features updates? If the answer is yes, the Galaxy S4 is the perfect smartphone for you if you want a good performance in all areas and an excellent camera.
third contender would be the Xperia Z, a smartphone developed by Sony which has some very attractive lines, high strength, very powerful hardware (although with some deficiency) and software that just adds interesting features. Although it pains me to say, is the worst option for those who migrate from one iPhone to Android, it is lacking a user of iOS will probably not be willing to endure, and the viewing angles of the screen, a camera rather poor performance and not entirely fluid despite the large SoC that incorporates. We should also add the same problem mentioned in the S4 and the One: updates and optimization. The Z Xperia smartphone is only suitable if your looking for a good design, good battery, resistance to shock, dust and water and a pretty good screen, but if you want a full smartphone in every sense, the above alternatives are somewhat better.
Finally, the fourth contender would be the Note 2, a smartphone that Samsung introduced several months ago but who, being in the niche of phablets (and be the undisputed king in that niche), it is impossible not to enter it here . The Note 2 has two major problems: the build quality (mostly plastic) and updates. Moreover, the smartphone easily meets, noting especially on drums, where almost nobody pays shade. Yes, you should bear in mind that we talk about a phablet of 5.5 inches, which is quite large that not everyone is comfortable. It is for this reason that the Note 2 will only be the perfect smartphone for you if you want a big screen, a stylus to take notes, good battery and hardware, which while not the cutting edge, is among the best.
To get a more detailed picture of each smartphones, you can see our reviews or our first contacts with each of these devices can draw your own conclusions and choose among the four. But first of all, I recommend you make a list of your priorities and the importance of every aspect of a smartphone for you, so as to maximize each device.
Migratingcontacts, email and calendars
Once you have your Android in your hands, the first thing you will want to have it all contacts, email accounts and calendars that you had on your iPhone. Thanks to the versatility of Android, this will be a matter of minutes.
If you use Google services to manage these sections, migration will be a breeze. Just go to Settings> Accounts> Add account to log in with your Google and Google data. Once done, we mark those sections we want to keep synchronized and ready.
If you are a useriCloud and your contacts, email and calendars are there, you wont seriously migrate all the services of Google. Not only because of the close relationship they have with Android but it also provides much more versatility. Google services can be used and configured in any smartphone and any operating system in a simple medium. For iCloud, can not always be.
However, if for some reason you can not give iCloud services, there are several ways to synchronize also with your Android, plus a super-simple way:
class=”c29″> Contacts: It is as simple as installing the application “CardDAV sync” and fill in the information you requested. Served In the name enter “https://contacts.icloud.com” (without the quotes), mark the box SSL and introduce our data in iCloud. Once done, your contacts automatically begin synchronizing.

Music
Music is something you probably want to have as soon as possible in your new Android and is one of the simplest tasks of this migration.
If you use a music service like Rdio or Spotify, the job is as simple as installing the appropriate application from Google Play, log in with your details and voila, all your music will now be available on your Android.
If instead you are one of those who download the music from iTunes or other sources and manages music players, the simplest solution is to install the app from Google Play Music on your computer (available for Mac and Windows) and after a few simple steps, you import all your music to the cloud (up to 20,000 songs for free by clicking), so that you can access it from any device with an installed Android application Google Play Music (usually comes preinstalled, although can be downloaded from Google Play). In this way, you can continue to use iTunes to manage your music and enjoy while all of it on your Android.

Images and videos
If you have a Mac at home, this task is simpler than the mechanism of a pacifier. Connect your iPhone to your Mac and open the application called Image Capture Mac bringing all by default. This app will detect your iPhone and let you to copy the photos and videos that are inside your computer. After that, the USB cable connects your Android smartphone to Mac and, using the utility “Android File Transfer”, paste the photos and videos in any folder inside the phone. Personally, I recommend within the DCIM folder, which is usually found where the pictures you take with your smartphone.
If you have a Windows computer (preferably Windows 7), the task is even simpler. You just need to connect your iPhone to your computer and go to “My Computer” or “Computer” (Depending on the version of Windows) and appear iPhone. We access and we will meet all our pictures, so it will be as simple as copy and paste them on the desktop. After this, we connect our Android and without installing anything, go to “My Computer” or “Computer”, enter the storage unit our Android and paste images in the DCIM folder.
If you want to keep photos synchronized between all your smartphones and devices, another very feasible solution is to activate the automatic photo uploads Dropbox. In this way, you can access all your photos and images on any device with Dropbox official app.
Recommended Applications AndroidIf you come from iOS, you may not find in Android some applications you had on your iPhone. Most are on both platforms, but there are some that are limited to one of them, such as Tweetbot. That is why, here’s a list of recommended apps for your new Android release:
class=”c29″> Falcon Pro
AirDroid
Ringdroid
Swype
SwiftKey
Zedge
After all these steps, the only thing left to do is add to The Free Android your feeds (if we had above) and find out all that matters to any holder of a device Android: applications, news, tutorials and a myriad of interesting content in Spanish.
