Your phone will be obsolete to Samsung in a year or two tops and it'll forever have an identity crisis as to whether or not it's a Samsung phone or a pure Android phone, never quite identifying as either when it comes to software.

Meanwhile iPhones have the highest customer satisfaction rate with good reason

This!

I hate the I phone tablet over my android tablet!

First it has thing like the t key where you pull down on it and it turns into 5 which sounds nice but very often when typing fast you get words like 5he or go9d or lo and the spell check doesnt catch them, but loves to change its to it's when you clearly wanted its. Or it just changes words that arent spelled wrong to begin with. But my favorite thing is YouTube comments you read through them, and get to load more hit it and instead of just adding more it adds them and takes you back to the top of the list losing your place.

S7 Edge. Maybe I just need a change from Samsung. Any other Android phone company recommendations? My first smart phone ever was a iPhone 5S, two years later it was an S5 now a S7 Edge. I plan on keeping my current phone until it can no longer function cause he would seem like the smartest thing to do financially plus I seen a lot of people still use phones 4+ years old and they seem to do ok.

I'm using the Razer Phone and it's the best one I ever had.

Pixel 2 is also legit.

OnePlus 6 would be my third choice.

Wait till at least the next iteration in September at least.

If you didn't mind using the 5S, you shouldn't have a problem going back to iOS. For 95% of the people out there, it doesn't really matter whether you get an iPhone or Android, you will still get most of the smartphone experience. Also if your friends all have iPhones and use iMessage and FT, that's another plus.

Personally, my first smartphone was an iPhone 3gs when it first came out. Switched to a galaxy s3 after that. Never looked back.

So much of what I love about Android requires jailnreaking on an iPhone. I also hate how Apple is all about proprietary shit. Ios is just not for me at all whatsoever. Also, requiring iTunes and a computer to do certain things I can do straight from my phone on android is annoying.

The S7 Edge is still a nice looking device with a lot of modern tech. Anything about it that's turning you cold to Samsung?

Nothing is really turning me off about Samsung. I think it's just wanting to switch to something new but like I said I'll use my current phone, which is almost two years old, for one to 3 more years then buy a new phone. Right now I am just seeing what's out there for my curiosity

Ok in that case, I wouldn't try to get married to any brand or OS if you're upwards of 3 years out before looking for a new device. That's a loooooooong time in the smartphone industry so just enjoy your S7 Edge now and don't even worry about it yet.

Iphones are generally better for most people and that includes 99% of CE. Its just the "cool thing" to hate apple.

If you want a little bit more customisation you will never use, buy an android.

Galaxy S8 competes with the iPhone 8. Note 8 competes with the X as they are at the top of their respective ranges (similar price too). All are flagships.

These are $1,000 devices. If a difference of 50 bucks means that much to you, then you're playing the wrong sport.

Why are you using the maximum price of the Note but the minimum of the X? If you're going to compare the two, then at least be fair as opposed to spinning it to fit your narrative.

No one is spinning anything. You're the one here pretending that $50-$100 means anything when you're about to spend upwards of $1,000 on a device. If you're in the market for these things, it's all a wash.

iPhones have 3D touch which is really useful IMO. I really wish android phones had it. Also they have great integration with Macs if you have one. I don't have an iPhone any more, but it's awesome being able to copy something on your computer and paste it on your iPhone. iOS products also get support for much longer than android products.

Gamefaqs is having their expected hissy fit about iphones. The truth is they're great phones, and they're not all expensive. But the dummies at GFAQS don't like that narrative, everything has to be black and white.

You can be happy with android or iphone today--they're both great in slightly different ways. I'm not gonna try to convince you to move to an iPhone.

3D touch has almost single handedly kept me on iOS

"peek/pop"ing through the web is way faster and fluid than "normal" browsing

it actually kinda pisses me off that they havent added that to iPads. It makes browsing on my iPad slower and more tedious than my phone and thats p dumb.

That's not the retail price. One of the carrier versions is on sale this week for $750. By that logic, the iPhone X was $300 off about 2-3 weeks ago.

So yeah, they pretty much cost the same.
