So it's been more or less a week since I got my Samsung S20, and I've been enjoying every single second of it! Some great quality of life improvements from my former iPhone 8 Plus include:
1. Screen - It's so much sharper, more vibrant & colorful, taller, faster, more superior in every single way, I value the screen over everything else in a mobile device
2. More beautiful design - I love the S20's pretty design, I chose blue which is so pretty, it's dynamic and unique in contrast to the sterile nature of the iPhone's design language
3. Cameras - Not just the extra cameras, but the resolution and color science has been amazing
4. USB-C - Now 99% of my devices get to be charged using USB-C!
5. Speakers - They're so dynamic and powerful, was not expecting phone speakers to be this good
6. Always-on display - It's a nice creature comfort to be able to look at my phone for the time and notifications at a glance
7. Weight - It's 40g lighter than the iPhone 8 Plus and that makes a big difference to carrying this thing
8. Software as a whole - I honestly missed Android, glad to be back
My one small observation is that the battery life seems to be a little less resilient compared to my old iPhone 8 Plus, but it's nothing major in day to day use, maybe around 30-60 minutes of screen-on time.
Also, having to buy into the Samsung ecosystem with the Buds+ and the Watch Active were big investments, but well worth the change of lifestyle.

@Tog Driver Always-on display as in the S20's clock when the phone is locked and on standby
@dizmo I know, but something about Samsung made me go towards them, could've been a lot of things from their reliability with hardware, K-pop, my general love for Eastern Asia...
