Havana, Cuba.- One of the key considerations when choosing a Smartphone or Tablet issues is, without doubt, the operating system. Cuba is a totally different scenario to the world because of its low connectivity, and the battle between operating systems for mobile waged based on different characteristics of the countries where the Internet is accessible. On the island, paper applications and functions offline play is crucial.
To determine which operating system is the most used, collect opinions repairmen experts working in private workshops. We also interviewed people in parks with Wi-Fi, many of whom are simply unaware users and technical matters of both operating systems
“Android is much higher here in Cuba.; is a more open operating system, which allows installation of applications in a more simple way, and using features and applications offline (no Internet connection). For Cuba recommend 100%, “says Jorge Echevarría, medium electronics technician who works as a repairman phones in” Clinical Cell “, a workshop situated at 26, Vedado.
” iOS is much more closed “continues Echevarría. “Almost all its functions depend on a fixed Internet connection, here in Cuba, besides being rather expensive, can not be achieved anywhere.”
Another important factor is the price of the devices. In a country where the average salary ranges between 18 and 22 US dollars monthly, often acquire an iOS device is a pipe dream. Tania Solis is a 25 year old and his desire has always been to have an iPhone.
“I had to settle for a low-end Android phone, I worked out a lot cheaper. In particular I have no knowledge to say if one is better than the other. To me I’ve always liked the iPhone for its aesthetics; but with what I earn working for the state here in Cuba, even in dreams he could have had. “

a computer young woman working in one of the mobile repair shops in Havana, requested anonymity to discuss a CubaNet that “Android offers options that are compatible with the needs of the Cuban people. the range of devices using Android is broader than that of Apple, Android also does not need an extra program to transfer files with a PC, or be connected to the internet to install applications of course, in our mobile workshops they have been made to have these. functionality through the hacking, but it is a more expensive and cumbersome way. “
most of those interviewed for this study were in favor of Android devices, because they have more variety and options in terms of price, and a more open operating system and use the best possible conditions for disconnection making the island. In addition, most of the phones that are sold ETECSA Android.
However, iOS also has many followers, who claim that it is a more stable and robust operating system to address the problems connection is in Cuba. Many followers of iOS were optimistic considering that someday internet in Cuba will have to come en masse at a fair price, but do not know how much will have to wait to buy an iPhone in a Apple store.
