s10 to iPhone 12 mini? why or why not?

[mundo472]

Getting tired of waiting for a better fps and love the new flat sides of ip12. Reminds me of the BlackBerry z10 and how easy it stayed in my hand.

Has anyone recently switched but came back to android? Please talk to me about why or why not.

Only advantages to ios for me is software updates and physical Apple stores for problems.
I personally use Samsung pay with every possible purchase. I use split screen everyday. I download movies and songs etc with to**ents. Stuff that I can't do with an iphone. I also don't care about imessage or aniemojis etc. I don't care about benchmarks etc. My device works perfectly for me and I love the options Android provides. Good luck!

I'm not an Apple person or even an Apple fan (I respect them though), but I gotta say that having physical Apple stores to go to when you have a hardware issue or any other type of problem with your Apple product is pretty convenient. I definitely respect Apple on that score.

If you have apple watch then go for it ..
Other than that .. stay with S10 ..
Then again .. if you have lot of money to throw around..

That mini looks enticing for many with the small form factor.. Brings good memories from iPhone 4... Tough call on if you should switch.. I always say only one way to find out... Take the plunge and you have 14 days to decide.. What's important to you? How's your usage? Both platforms have good things about them...

Edit : I have the 12 Pro and love this flat glass and square build..

I'm waiting to see which manufacturer, if any--Samsung, LG--gets a clue from the success of the iPhone 12 mini. I'm sick and tired of phones become larger and larger just because, and of stupid stuff like burying the FPS in places where it just ends up not working.

Personally, I'm loving my husband's LG Velvet. If LG comes out with an LG Velvet 2 or anything like that, I may jump on it. LG and Samsung are always the kinds of manufacturers I keep an eye on.

Switched to iPhone and gave it a chance.. 4 months and I could not stand it came back to samsung. I have available to me a new iPhone at work. Told them to send it back and get me a Samsung.. needless to say I'm using my own phone now

I love the LG stuff, but man, that's a huge phone. 0.4 inches taller than my S10+. That's huge. And the screen resolution is significantly less dense.

Also, I made the mistake? of getting a Galaxy Watch. (Sammy would disagree that it's a mistake.). Not only does it play better with a Samsung phone, I also like that the phone has reverse wireless charging to top up the watch on demand. For better or for worse, now reverse wireless charging is on my must-have list, at least until I get rid of the Watch.

Also, the Velvet stuck with micro USB charging. Sorry, but I'm moving forward with everything now. If it's new and comes into my home, it must have a USB-C port.

Any LG phone with USB-C and reverse wireless charging, I'll take a very close look at--especially if they do 5G and make it decently smaller than my S10+.

I might look at iPhone 12 mini after all.

Both phones have pros and cons. With the iphone I think imessage is awesome! You can send videos and photos no problem. You can't do that with android. I do love samsungs software and how you can personalize it.

You're right - it's quite the large phone. I held my husband's Velvet without a case and while I could likely use it if I had to, it *is* very wide.

Actually, the first ever reverse wireless charging I did was with his phone! My S10 charging it was pretty nifty. Definitely a cool thing to have.

It would be super awesome if LG released an LG Velvet 2 and an LG Velvet Mini or something, at maybe 6". That may not be enough of a difference to pay for and manufacture, but I'd jump on that opportunity!

Zrock, thanks for this. Can you give me a little more specifics on what you didn't like about it?
