Ditching Apple for Android? What you need to know

If you're not a fan of Apple's new iOS 7 or its new line of iPhones, there's a chance you may be flirting the idea of switching to Android.

After all, Android devices seem to have all the fancy new features these days. For example, Samsung just launched a new model of its Galaxy Note smartphone—which runs on Android—with a curved display.

The Korean company also recently made a big push into wearables with a smartwatch that only syncs with its Galaxy devices, which run on Android.

Is Android right for you? 

One of the biggest differences between Apple's iPhone and Android devices is that the latter offers more options when it comes to customizing the software.

Because Android is so open, handset manufacturers often put their own user interface on the Android devices they make.
