Device recommendations for ios to android switch

[SPFINATOR1993]

Hey everyone.  I am considering the switch from iPhone to Android.  I don't care about which one you think is better.  What I want to know are there any recommendations in regards to a device when switching from iOS to Android?  I am open to most suggestions.  If you have personal experience, that would be greatly appreciated.

One Plus is a good choice. The one plus 3 is a pretty good phone.

Hmm... it depend on what kind of experience you want on Android really. For a very "stock" Android feel go with a Nexus 5X or the newer model 6P. It's one of the few smart phone with the front facing speaker and it's from Google (kinda) so it will usually be the first to receive new Android's update. For more "premium" one you can go with Samsung S7 or waiting for the upcoming Note 7. I personally dont like the edge but it's the only "bigger" model, the S7 normal is a bit smaller. S7 Active on the other hand is very sturdy but it sacrifices the look a bit. Dont go for either Note 5 or 4, Note 5 dont have SD card slot and Note 4 have back facing speaker =.= (I own a Note 4 so most of the time I have to use headphone if I want to listen to anything on it)

One Plus is also a really decent phone from the review. I've  never seen one IRL so I dont know much about it personally

From what I've heard, the Nexus 6p is a really solid choice.  Ever used one?

Not really  I have tested a 5X from a friend before but I havent seen a 6P so far (but I also havent go to mobile shop for a while now). They should be similar though. I own a Note 4 mainly because it's a decent enough phone that's big (I cant use small phone anymore after I made a switch from iPhone 4 to Note 3) and it support Gear VR (even the CV version but need a little modding).

Used a Nexus 5 before. The only draw back was the battery life.

That phone is snippy, respond time is quick, it comes with stock android.

So i think you should try a nexus device, like 6P or 5X. Also one plus seems decent too.

 

I don't know about you, when I switched from iPhone to Android device, their battery life is always kind of disappointing. 

So prepare yourself a decent power bank then you are golden.
