It's not the same. You can't answer it mid-recording. and if the phone call turns out to be important, you have to call back, and if it's a company you'll likely have to navigate a maze of options, then wait while "all operators are busy".
I can answer a call mid voicemail on my iPhone. I thought that was a feature for a while on Android?
I don't know what kind of voicemail you're referring to, the one provided by networks over here just sends the caller to voicemail if you don't pick up, you will get a text later.
There may be a different voicemail service where you live (visual voicemail?) that I have no experience using.
Then there's Call Screening that android had indeed been had for a while, but it doesn't record a message, it's a back and forth interactive conversation and you can see the transcript in real time.
