I feel like it's time for a refresh from my iPhone 6, which I held on to for nearly 4 years now.
I figured it's time to go with Android this time around and narrowed it down to S9 and the Pixel 3. I am still thinking of the iPhone Xs. It's a solid device but I feel like iOS is on the boring side after all these years. On top of that, it lacks features that have been around for a while now on other platforms. Hard to believe that the Nokia that I had years before the iPhone had a standby screen, and yet the iPhone Xs still doesn't have one today.
Between the S9 (soon the S10) and the Pixel 3, I was leaning towards the S9, up until reading about how Samsung is not exactly a "pleasant" experience. Samsung customer service is non-existent and OS upgrades are behind by centuries.
The Pixel 3 is my primary choice, but I still have concerns that might make me consider going through with the iOS device. The primary is performance. I cannot stand a "laggy" device.
If you happen to have owned (or still own) an iPhone Xs and also have the Pixel 3, could you comment on what your experience is like, and what you would honestly recommend to someone who upgrades phones once in a blue moon? Is the Pixel 3 subject to the same slowdown overtime just like other Androids? Are there issues with UX and stability? Battery issues? Anything else to consider?
