  Yeah, the imaging software can be really good on Android as well. Still, even as a fairly devoted Android user and not a big iOS fan, I'll point out that only the best Android devices have camera hardware comparable to the newer iPhones. The flipside to being able to install Android on any hardware means that the OS can only do so much if OEMs cheap out on the camera hardware. Still, for the average user, the cameras on just about any higher end Android phone or iPhone will be perfectly fine for their intended purpose: being the camera you have at hand. For a photography pro or enthusiast, even the newest mobile devices (from any OEM) will only win on convenience versus a dedicated camera with larger optics. There's still only so much you can do with a lens that's a little chip of glass and a tiny sensor.
