See How Android Outperforms iPhone

Shopping for a new smartphone and not sure if you should choose an older Apple iPhone model like the 3G iPhone, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPhone 5 or one of the many great Android phone models offered to the wireless consumer marketplace? Let Wirefly help. Wirefly features a great lineup of Android-powered smartphones as well as an amazing abundance of product information and phone buying guides you can use to make timely, informed decisions about the selection of the smartphone that is uniquely right for you. Android-powered smartphones featured at Wirefly include mobile phones from leading carriers Verizon Wireless, Sprint, and T-Mobile and from leaders and innovators in the cell phone manufacturing sector like HTC, Motorola, Samsung, and LG.


An Android-powered smartphone brings these distinct and important advantages to wireless shoppers just like you:

  • Android phones are money-savers! Certain Android phones at Wirefly can be yours for free with new phone plan activations or upgrade plans available from major carriers like Verizon Wireless, Sprint, and T-Mobile.
  • Android gives you awesome NFC technology: Near Field Communication technology found on certain Android phone models gives you the ease and convenience that comes with Google Wallet. Turn your phone into a wallet with Google Wallet!
  • With certain mobile sites dependent on Flash to deliver content, using an Android-powered phone that supports Flash just makes sense. Why shut yourself out from a technology that iPhone doesn't support?
  • Android gives you the power of choice: you can select from major carriers like Verizon Wireless, Sprint, and T-Mobile, along with a range of leading phone manufacturers. Power of choice means consumers have leverage that holds down costs and saves them money on their wireless choices. There's more: Android smartphones are also readily available amongst leading prepaid phone carriers too!
  • Android-powered smartphones mean the freedom to choose the design that most appeals to you. No rigid design parameters like the iPhone. You choose amongst the widest range of sleek Android phone designs and find the design that appeals most to your individual tastes.
  • Expandable memory cards available on most Android phones means you have versatility and the ability to grow your phone alongside the growing demands you have for your wireless device.
  • Customizing your Android phone is part of the Android phone experience: widgets, apps, and multiple home screens help you create a customized user experience that speaks to your unique needs for a smartphone and how you choose to interact with your mobile phone device.
  • Need to replace your Android-powered phone battery? With certain Android models recharging your phone and keeping pace with your wireless world is as easy as snapping in a spare battery! No serious downtime as with iPhone.

An Android-powered smartphone is the quick, easy and cost-saving alternative to the iPhone. When you're seeking ease of use, individuality, and the cost savings that come with the power of choice, the lineup of Android smartphones at Wirefly is the right choice!
