  • custom roms
  • android kitchen to make your own android
  • those root level apps
  • adb (wireless as well.)
  • linux windows interoperability
  • set your cpu and gpu governor
  • kde connect and other stuff which wants to work in backend can keep working
  • others.. i dunno i am bored cannot think of more
  • ability to pirate apks

This is a great list! Allow me to help expand it:

  • Multiple user accounts (great for kids)
  • Multi tasking split screen with different apps
  • Direct plug-and-play access to files on a computer with a usb cord

And since it's impossible to ignore the fact Android allows for hardware choice, there's hardware benefits like...

  • Faster charging
  • Brighter, more advanced screens
  • High frame rate (Apple is still stuck on 60fps)
  • Foldable
  • Better cameras
  • Charge other devices with your device
  • External storage Alright, there's a LOT more, but I realized I don't want to do the legwork haha. These are huge features, though.
