I always jump back and forth. The only redeeming quality about apple is the OS and the app store imo.

I usually switch every other time or so but I constantly find myself wanting to go back to apple, only to get pissed off at the shitty memory and even worse battery life that comes with them. I then go back to android only to get annoyed with minor OS inconveniences while never utilizing the extra space I have access to.

 

If you are looking for gripes, they are to be had with every single thing about both. IMO it's really about what hardware works best for you and what size phone you are looking to keep in your pocket.

 

The Verizon rep that sold me my S8 said that every time he's due for an upgrade he switches to the other. I imagine that would be pretty cool to do as in 4 years things can change pretty drastically with the phones, features, and operating systems. Makes it more worth the upgrade.

I'd love to continue this conversation but my iPhone is about to die.

Holy shit 1998.  Does your plan give you free minutes on  weekends and free minutes  after 9pm?? Remember those times?! 

The OLED curved screen is absolutely sick. There's no home button, it's incorporated into the screen which I really liked. I played around with it for about 5 minutes and I would be just fine with the

I am going to do it out of principle at this point. I feel like such a sheep consistently running back to Apple. 

My next phone is going to be the iphone SE... The only thing I reallllly care about in a phone is size and would love to go back to a small phone, I am on an Verizon Droid Turbo 2 currently because it has such a huge battery but having a 5.4 in screen is way too much for me (ironically the norm for phones now)

I just checked out the new galaxy. It is amazing.

I just got an S8 yesterday.  Previous phones were the LG G4 and G2 before that. 

Wasn't really interested in the G6 after having to get my G4 and G2 replaced so many times from them having hardware issues.   

Phone is great.   The stock email app  is much better than the one previous LG's came with.  Only complaint  about the S8, and I'm sure ill get used to it, the notifications are very very small text. I looked it up,  it's been like that for the last few versions of galaxy phones from what I read.

Hmm. Seems like they would have a setting for different notification displays.

I think I'm just not used to it.  The notifications are great though with small text it allows room for a ton of information.   It's just smaller than I'm used to.

Go ahead and get you a unlimited plan with Verizon and enjoy that big beautiful screen on their 4G. You won't regret it. 

That's what I'm leaning to. I have att right now.

What did you like vs the iPhone?

The OLED curved screen is absolutely sick. There's no home button, it's incorporated into the screen which I really liked. I played around with it for about 5 minutes and I would be just fine with the feel of the operating system. It is also super fast compared to what I have now. Porn is going to be pretty epic on that screen too.

the phone itself is gorgeous.
