Why do you prefer the Android OS over iOS?

Competition is what drives innovation. That’s why I don’t knock either platform, one pushes the other.

I agree

Just purchased a 3a from Amazon. I’ve only heard good things about it so hopefully it will be my phone for the next couple years.

What a great purchasing choice! Let us know how you are liking it!

Thanks. Haven’t used a a Pixel device yet so am interested to see how it performs.

I'm a person who likes freedom, both political and technological. Android, for the most part, gives me freedom to do so much!

It definitely is! In so many different respects.

Oh yeah, for example, my coworker just got a budget Samsung Galaxy phone from Verizon unlocked. I played with the TouchWiz for a few minutes, I don't miss Samsung one bit. Can't believe there are still two different notepad apps, two different gallery apps, two different email apps etc.

It has been quite a while since I used a Samsung (only once). Didn’t like it at all.

Yeah, dude, I totally agree! Between duplicated apps, still laggy TouchWiz UI, v I'll never be a fan again. Pixel fanboy here haha

TouchWiz is no longer what it used to be and it's now known as OneUI and in my experience it's pretty fast and fluid, and that was on an older Galaxy Note8, I think on soemthing like a Note10+ and S20 Ultra it will be even better it use,more so on S20 series with 120Hz screen and 240Hz touch rate.

The one thing I do hate in all Androids UIs is the duplication, as I often find that companies like Samsung and Huawei have better apps for the job.

Well the duplication of apps comes from Samsung Galaxy applications in addition to Google Google's own core applications. Well I hope one UI is better for the people that have the newer Samsung phones. Lol However, it's still annoying and frustrating for duplicated apps when you don't need them.

 

[Jassy78]

I always preffered the Android because i am android user.Android is best because of its battery and large storage in short price

I agree. I don’t want Samsung’s apps on my phone, I want pure Android. I use Android One on my current Nokia phone and there’s no Nokia apps on it.

Hey, well thank you very much. I completely agree. I don't need Samsung's apps on my phone in order for me to have a great Google experience.

I decided in the 1980s that Apple's plan was to have absolute control over hardware, software, and users. They've stuck to their plan so I've stuck to my avoidance. I don't consider anything that says, "Apple." I did, when I got a Google Pixel phone with USB C and the power adapter was for the UAE, buy a USB A to USB C adapter that was an Apple product. It was the only adapter I could find at the time in Oaxaca, Mexico. It cost $40 when adapters from any other company were $10 or less. I was in a hurry and didn't want to wait for Amazon.

I do agree with Apple's marketing slogan, "It just works," but wish they'd added the rest, "as we want it to work." How you want it to work doesn't interest them. Unfortunately, I'm beginning to thing Google Pixel is following Apple's model.

 

[eric002]

Yeah that's true. I hope Google doesn't follow apples model For pixel phones. Apple has always had a closed off ecosystem and just like you said they do what they want when they want to do it. They don't care about the end user that much. Sure that makes creating applications easy but doesn't give you any customization or flexibility for what you actually want to do.

That confuses me too. My S10 has duplicates of those things as well. Weird. But I usually just ignore it. But you are right, it is cumbersome.

Yes I think you sir! It only has a cumbersome and confusing, it's just sound right frustrating. most consumers don't know which application to use at the end of the day Samsung Galaxy apps or Google apps.
