Which phone and what to expect.

I currently have a iPhone 11 pro max. I love it but I also miss android a little on some aspects. I’m still within my 14 day period with this particular phone. I am looking to get a Note 10+. I have used one before but there was some things I didn’t like. They were the bad USB C dongle audio quality, the delay and amount of taps to unlock the device, the battery life, signal strength, and oddly enough the screen looks green and pink with using my sunglasses.

The things I like about the note are obviously google integration and the screen. I also like the price a bit better as best buy has a$300 off sale right now on the note 10+. Price isn’t a concern but I do enjoy saving money for other projects I have going on at home and my gaming pc.

The things I would miss from the iPhone would be iMessage (not really sure why I like seeing blue but everyone I know has iPhones), the cameras, battery life, and maybe performance, definitely timely updates.

What are y’all’s thoughts? I know this is a touchy subject and I’m asking this on a biased forum as it’s for Androids but I’d like feedback from people that use both. My previous device for 2 years was a Note 8.

I’m debating about getting off my butt and going to Best Buy to get a a note 10+... again.

That's up to you , why did you get rid of the note 10+ ?

Questionable battery life and performance(I’m getting crazy good battery on my pro max. I only charge every 2 days.)

UBC C audio not sounding as good as iPhone with the adapters

Night mode camera on iPhone is better ( don’t even use camera that much but I like to have the feature for when I may use it)

Everyone I know has an iPhone so it’s slightly easier to send full photos. Before I just used Facebook messenger. iMessage is just slightly more convenient but honest not much different.

Reasons I want the note is screen, nerdy aspect of android and the price of the phone is cheaper right now.

Think so?

From way it sounds , more pro on the iPhone then Note 10

Yea. A few more pros with note are split screen and PIP. I used PIP all the time on the note 8.

So what you think? , it's a tough choice I know

It is a tough choice. At the end of the day I know both phones will be excellent which makes it even harder. I maybe putting too much emphasis on battery life as I do have wireless chargers. I have used both OS for years.

Take your time see how it goes , if you start missing the Note while with the iPhone can always sell it for good price they hold their value.

I think that’s what I’m going to do. While I enjoy both and both have their faults, it just makes the choice harder. I will probably end up keeping this but we’ll see. I still have another week to return this and if I feel like I can’t decide or whatever I got a galaxy s5 to go back too LOL.
