    I am on the fence about switching to a Galaxy this year. Someone convince me. I’m coming from an iPhone 12. My biggest hangup is going to be moving my stuff over.

      Just stay on your current phone till it’s dead. And even if you switch to Android avoid Samsung it’s a bloated disaster. Use oneplus or import a sony phone if you want headphone jack microsd slot and hardware fingerprint reader

      If you go Android, I recommend a sony phone. Unlockable bootloaders, microsd, headphone jack, exceptional audio, good camera. And no fucking notch or hole cut out of the damn screen!

      I even recently replaced the battery in my Xperia 1 iii.

      Coming from a pixel guy who recently bought a 16 pro apps just plain don’t work as well like even google apps run better but that’s not to say they are bad on android things “just work” sometimes on iOS

        Can you give an example of an app not working “as well”? Do your emails get wrangled or anything?

          1 I use my phone as a remote for my tv and it’ll sit there and spin on my pixel 8 iPhone loads right up

          2 I have a lot of Bluetooth devices and my pixel doesn’t like to auto connect past the recent 5 devices my iPhone connects immediately to any of them any time

          3 so far Siri with apple intelligence ( dev beta ) has given me significantly better responses then hey google has

          4 camera in some apps is just slow on the pixel but they all are flawless on iPhone

          And that’s not to say I hate my pixel I carry both phones if I have to run adb commands at my job I can do it easily off my pixel but things that my iPhone can do it does do better at least for me
