1. More choice with Android - Tons of Android phones for sure..
2. Micro SD Card Support - Useful for additional storage espacially if you take lots of videos or photos
3. Google Maps
4. Easy to clear cache to get space back - On iPhone you need to delete teh app and re-install to get space back
5. Widgets - On Android users can choose widgets to show the lock screen and on their home screen
6. Android customization - This I think is a double-edge sword...
7. Default App choices - This is true, iPhone does not let you choose nre default apps.
8 . Split screen multitasking - IPhone does not let run 2 apps run on the same screen, but you can do that with Android.
9. Multiuser mode - You can create a separate account with limited access for your kids, iPhone doesn't support that.,
10. App source - Android makes it easier to install app from sources other than the Apps store (ex side loading)
11. Use phone a remote control - Some Android phones have IR port that lets you control TVs, cable boxes etc..iPhone needs separate accessory to do that,,
12. Download music/movies from anywhere - On iPhone the choice is limited to iTunes, On Android there are more choices.
13. Google Now - Better than Siri, as some claim..
14. Mobile payments & NFC - iPhone is limited to Apple Pay
15. Notifications - Gottabemobiel claims it is better in Android, Not sure about that, it seems subjective.

Note - Above is list of items as reported by Gottabemobile with my thoughts on those items..
