i don't *phone explodes* know about *files corrupt* you *battery shorts out* guys, but *screen shatters* android makes *dead pixels* the best phones
not like iphones have blown up either. files corrupting? i betcha you get that dumb icloud message saying your phone is full of capacity. screen shattering? dumb thots with iphones have shattered screens? my ipod touch had a dead pixel too. every beta apple user whom thinks this nonsense is outright ignorant that the fact that android is on par or "better" than iphones.
"better" in quotation marks because yes most smartphones are better on paper. "better" depends on opinion too, not the specs aspect.
here's my reasoning why i really prefer a android phone (samsung has been getting better, but not my cup of tea):
- a phone that isn't planned to die
- expandable storage
- freedom of doing of what i want to do
- generally cheaper than apple's $800-$1k phones
- in most cases, HEADPHONE PORT
this is a generalization. there's way more to it, like with the freedom aspect, i could make my phone look like a iphone if i wanted to. hell, huawei (i use a honor 8) ships a very iphone-esque launcher but i chose not to use it because i prefer pixel launcher (i use ruthless launcher, still based on the pixel launcher). in the "phone that isn't planned to die" category, yes most apple phones die after a certain run. iOS updates on older devices tend to slow the users phone down on purpose to make it feel like their device is dying, thus making a trip to the apple store to be forgeted again in a year or two.
with the android side of that, you could literally install the latest version of android on basically anything. i'm not implying on if your device supports oreo, google went through hell and back to recode the whole nature of android so it can be ported to literally anything as long as the vendor supplies the kernel code and proprietary blobs. but with that said, android gets monthly security updates to ensure the user is protected from any problems, no matter if they're on 7.0 (nougat) or 8.0 (oreo) or 9.0 (P, in development.) the more crazier iphone people have a rebuttal to this: "HAHA YOU'RE ON THE OLD VERSION." in this case, it doesn't matter with android. most apps still run fine if you're on a "older" version of android like 7.0, since most phones have this version anyways. hell, most apps still run on 6.0. apple really doesn't like this and forces most people to move over to the new version of iOS or you won't get the latest apps.
yes, google removed their headphone port. yes, the note 8 (we're still on this? that phone is literally gone) exploded in people's pockets at one point. but for iphone users to literally bash android on literally everything is a wrong-doing on their end.
the only two things i will not bash about is that "iphone cameras are better" and wireless charging. the camera stuff is dependent on the phone's camera sensor, and the software to process the image. at this point in time, i cannot tell the difference between a iphone or android camera. they're all the same IMO (unless you wanna compare something from years ago to a iphone now.) and yes, wireless charging
finally came to the iphone. do i care? no, only because with my experience, wireless charging was slow and stupid. you're better off charging off of the cord than wireless.
/rant. that's my two cents. i personally don't hate iphones, in fact i almost went to one because at&t (ew) was doing a deal on the SE. i just don't like them because really i know i'm getting a better mileage with a android device than i would with a iphone.
