Not sure why anyone buys Samsung products anymore. Pixel seems alright but it's trying hard to be an iPhone. Might as well get the best out there

I switched to Samsung Galaxy when the iPhone 5 came out and was a huge let down but switched back to iPhone for work when the 7 came out. I've always loved my galaxy phones but one thing I like about the iPhone is how easily it integrates with everything (and the fingerprint sensor is sooo much better) There are a lot of features missing from iPhone though and you give up any customizability. To me, both are pretty good and there's no clear winner between the 2.

S8 does look pretty cool though.

I much prefer Samsung for sheer customizability, but it really depends on what you want from it. Also dual SIM is worth gold if you're traveling internationally a lot.

I boomeranged like most here. No Android phone is as good as my iPhone 7📱 . The features made me switch but the android user experience is a nightmare. It is very fragmented (manufacturers "improve" it.) which delays updates and sometimes mean you will never get updated due to marketing strategies. TouchWiz is probably the worst clunky thing I've ever had to deal with. I found myself on XDAdevelopers more and more trying to get roms to improve stuff that shouldn't have been jacked in the first place. Pixel fixes this but at Deloitte we can't get vanilla android devices. Assume this is due to update policy or someone crap reason. Android overall feels like throw every bleeding edge thing together and hope people make sense of it. IOS feels like a finely curated museum or playlist. It just flows together and works.

Switched to S7 last year, some neat features but doesn't feel half as solid as the iPhone. Battery life is not what I hoped for. At least I don't have to use iTunes anymore.

Get a Pixel

I can't wait to get one so that it can explode and cause me severe injury. I also got hurt when my hand was accidentally slammed in a car door. Now, I choose to slam my hand in a car door every beautiful day. 😊

Simple question. Why do Doctors earn so much in a country where access to health services is so difficult ? I don’t mind if they are becoming billionaires.
