    I have an iPhone but I recently picked up a Pixel phone and I really like the Stock Android on the Pixel devices especially with the new 7 years of guaranteed software updates with the Tensor G3 chip. The software side of Stock Android is surprisingly more advanced & customizable than iOS and great for advanced power users like me. I am seriously considering switching to Android soon if Apple is unable to make an affordable New budget iPhone every year like Google has decided to do. Surprised to see a video on the Pixel 8a when you normally make iOS, iPhone, and other Apple device videos. Refreshing to see from you, thank you.

The issue is just, that the most Android smart Phones having USB 2 connection and the Internet is really slow in that way (even yes with 5g, the USB 2 slows all down to 10-15mbits)
    For me would be important to have USB 3

      Their software support is truly impressive. I’ve always used android devices due to my obsession with customisation,and it isthat factor that has kept me loyal to the Droids. I’ve played around with iPhones post launch in store but I just can’t; although I do use an iPad.

    • @biggooseadventures
      @biggooseadventures Před 16 dny

      @@mxmus08remember when Google promised 💯 percent unlimited photo storage for pixel owners then took it away. Google isn’t a reliable company when it comes to customer promises. And for nearly the same amount money if you’re gonna get the flagships, at least you can go to an Apple Store and get help or Google. You can’t even go to the store. You have to ship the device to them if you happen to have the warranty or extra care support, they send you back a remanufactured phone, which is usually junk. Apple is way better to me. Androids do have a lot of gimmick things they do, but they’re not usually practical.

    Android is advanced with things like RCS messaging, Circle to Search, and AI features. iOS will probably take all of these things and probably make it better...that's just my opinion. Apple always has something old for years, then when they finally put it in, it is better. For example, Samsung (I think) came out with Ping, which could send photos by holding a phone in front of another. Apple STEALS this idea and turns it into AirDrop, basically the same thing as Ping, but adds the convience of pressing a button and instantly getting a picture, instead of holding a phone on top of another.
