A cyborg is a living entity with technical implants. The Borg and Robocop are cyborgs as well as Alita from Alita: Battle Angel and Motoko from Ghost in the Shell, the last two being particularly extreme examples, because only the brain is left from the original biological body.

Data, on the other hand, is an Android, a robot that has a human-like shape. He has no biological components and never had them. An example of a non-human android is Sonny from I, Robot.

Supposedly he should be an Android, but it would have been much more effective to smash him like the people in the music videos of "Human League" and move like that...

He is an android at least the very best time.

There is only a short time in the movie number 8 (the first contact), since the Borg transplanted an organic skin, here you could philosophize endlessly whether in this particular case it did not even meet the criteria for a cyborg.

The term cyborg in the other direction begins, for example, when a person surrounds himself with technology as sitting in a car and controlling it.

Then why should an android that you can feel an organic skin transplants not also be one, paired with its emotion chip.

You don't have to come like Robocop.

A Terminator T-800/50 model is also titled as Cyborg.

I would say Data is an Android and in Star Trek 8 you can also see it as a cyborg at short notice.
