Ok so, I’ve always had an iOS phone but they’re just to expensive now. I do like the eco system and especially how the watch-mobile-airpod combo works together. I’d like to know if any manufacturers offer the same thing in android. I’ve had a one plus, Samsung and redmi as work phones. Looking around 700 total budget, half of my current trio.

The closest you're going to get to the Apple level of product integration is samsung, especially if you're in the US.

Outside of that Xiaomi have an integrated ecosystem, though I haven't used their stuff personally.

Google are half arsedly making an effort... but at this point it's a colection of half baked products and unfulfilled promises.

Welcome to Android Central! I think Pixel phones and Pixel Buds work together nicely, and the other integration that continues to develop is with Chromebooks. Wear OS is certainly not as robust as Apple Watch, but personally I still much prefer how my Fossil watches look over the sterile uniformity of the Apple Watch.

Welcome to the community!

If your looking for a phone like Apple then it's the pixel , if you want watch with phone then Samsung.

Thanks for all the suggestions guys. Looking like Samsung then, so I’m thinking:
A33 at around 400 euro
Galaxy buds live at 90 euro ( I don’t like the soft bud types, I prefer the hard shell like AirPods gen 1)
Samsung galaxy watch 4 44mm at 240 euro

What’s everyone think?
