I can't decide

[elai]

Hello everyone,

 

I have come to a point to where I need to get a new phone since I am having troubles with my current one, however I am having issues deciding. I have picked two final candidates, the iPhone X and the Google Pixel 2 XL. I have never owned an android device and I have been using Apple phones since 2014. I have heard many amazing things about both phones which makes it hard to choose. Things that are making me not choose the pixel are the display and no wireless charging. While some reasons I don't want the iPhone X is stuff like storage, where Google has unlimited storage for photos, the notch, and the battery. Both have many pros and cons which makes it very hard for me to choose. What do you all think I should get?

 

 

Thank you all!

- Elai

I guess if you're stuck in the apple ecosystem you might as well stick with it. Its pretty much impossible to convince apple people to change what they know

Yeah the thing is I am willing to change to Android and to be totally honest I would prefer to, I just don't know how big of an effect it will have on me in the beginning

We're only a couple weeks away from MWC. Might be worth waiting.

In case you switched to android-

If you want to change to android you can,But I at start you will find it difficult  to setup everything perfectly as in android you can setup almost every setting,and change of '''''''apple ecosystem'''''',no gestures[in pixel phones],may be rarely some crashes/issues,speed of animation over smoothness- default (But even you can change that),ios has better integration with mac OS/windows with itunes coz there are no first party apps for android;So, if you use your android phone with laptop/windows/macbook then you will have to use third party apps for your tasks[windows gives you full access to read,write,configure etc your data with some notification options, not more than that-[I don't no about macOS compatibility with android].

But with android you will get,

A better,user friendly user interface.

Google assistant!!!

Full access to apps on play store.

Google services>apple services.

Access to 3rd party apps from any source(such as from internet download,from pc etc in supported form).

Access to download  anything from internet.

Ultimate customization- totally customise in your way.

And more...

But if you go for pixel2/2xl, few things will remain unchanged such as,no sd card support,no headphone jack,only single sim,[along with display issue of the phone(pixel2/2Xl specific)<IphoneX's industry best samsung made display].Dual speakers (incase you compare iphoneX and pixel2/2xl,because both of them have it).

My Conclusion -If you upgrade to iphone X, u will get almost same experience in a different body.

But switching to android will change the way you use your phone.

If ever you decide to go with android then, I would prefer you to also check out one plus 5t/Galaxy note8/Lg v30+/upcoming s9,coz pixel 2 is not only the android phone ,there are many phones to choose ranging from cheap budget to flagship with varying features.

Finally its always your choice-android/ios

??✌✌

wait to see what the new samsung s9 has to offer its going to get oreo android os which i want and supposedly be re-imagined Feb. 25th. so if you're thinking android they are probably the best leap into it imo.
