Are Android phones actually cheaper than their proprietary counterparts?
The issue is that Android can be used on any hardware product whatsoever, so inevitably there will be both premium and more commodity type products that cover all market segments. Virgin Mobile already has non contract Android smart phones that retail (no rebate) for $150, far cheaper than an iPhone.
A cheap android phone would perform better and for much cheaper.
Because it's a third or less of the cost of an Android.
The android phones chinese bought are very cheap(500yuan to 2,000yuan),and they like free app.They can't afford iphones-5,000yuan(it will be stolen).
It's not an Apple, Nexus or Windows Phone problem, it's a 'free' Phone OS (Android) problem. The price of a cheaper phones has to come from somewhere.
Xiaomi / Oneplus are ~50% of the cost of Samsung/Google/Apple phones
Have you thought about the android phones more expensive than the base iPhone ?
Not iPhones; cheaper Androids are fine for this.
Because the specs are much lower. You can buy an Android phone with the same or better specs for $50.
