Why I’m hesitant on a pixel:

-Subpar SOC for it’s price

-Limited pixel UI and UI decisions that make me question my life.

I like one plus, but their cameras are sub par. Only 1080p30fps for the selfie camera in 2023? Bad.

I love them because Samsung has the ecosystem, the hardware, the software and the design that’s just better than any other android imo. They are truly the apple of Android.

I didn’t update, but I guess they got complaints about the swipe up not being the the menu where u can turn on wifi and stuff so I guess they switched it back. I honeslty wish they just did it like Samsung does with their watch or just make the widgets to the left side like it is on iPhone

Yup. Only take it off to take shower and to charge. It’s a watch, but you’re supposed to wear it

Mine did overheat once but after the update it hasn’t done that since. Mine is fine, no issues at all

Feels about the same as A13 for me. Maybe just a bit smoother. S23+

Currently have an S23 plus and a 15 pro max. I just love the customization aspect that android has, being able use different launchers, change icons easily, way better widgets and plus the keyboard is way more robust. With RCS coming in 2024, Android is such a good option and the one main disadvantage(in the usa at least) should not be a disasvatange with RCS coming. If you truly love to tinker with your phone and make it truly how you want. Go android. Other than that, I don’t really see any disadvantages of using android phones. With Samsung the ecosystem is there. And all of the things I can do on my Samsung, I can do on my iPhone. I don’t care about imessage and FaceTime but the upgrade to multimedia messages will be awesome if RCS is implemented correctly.

You can have your photos backed up with Google photos on android and iPhone.

My only complaint is that it doesn’t have a built in clipboard.

If you wanted the best battery, I would’ve gotten the 15 pro max or 15 plus. The smaller pro has always only had like average battery life.
