They're called widgets on Android.
they are not even close to live tiles functionality
Shouldn't you have vetted this before buying a Droid?
It's a work phone and they only had android phones to choose from. Depending on windows 10, I may switch back.

what does a live tile do that a widget cannot?
With live tiles, I didn't have to open most apps, the app displayed the information I need.what does a live tile do that a widget cannot?
News apps would scroll the current headlines of top stories
Sports apps would scroll headlines and scores
Stock apps would scroll stock info
I had a traffic app where the tile or icon showed the traffic for my route home. So just looking at the tile I could see if I needed to take back roads.
Weather Radar app whose tile displayed the current radar for my area
Calendar showed my next meeting
Email live tiles showed depending on the size either just the number of new emails or the number and the sender and title of the most recent. I could setup a new tile for each of my important inbox folders
Standard weather apps would tiles would flip from daily information to a weekly view or from one location to another.
on and on.
Essentially what you used the app for most was on the tile. changing as you resize the tile. Larger tiles, thinking they are more important, it provides more information. Smaller it shows just the most important.
It is available for most apps not just a few.
Most of the information I needed I could see just in a quick glance at my home screen. no scroll or opening 5-10 apps

TROOF! I am also a tremendous asshole
I believe you, but I've yet to see a droid setup the way blackdak described the tiles.live tiles are just widgets
because it is a stupid setup that no one would intuitively create for themself when giving the choice.
