I abandoned my iPhone and switched to Android, but I didn’t miss it at all

This is a self-narration of a 24-year-old boy, Seven, describing his feelings 120 days after switching from iPhone to Android.

In the past few years of using Apple iPhone, every time a new iPhone is about to be released (about a month before), my iPhone will leave me, making it difficult for me to change phones. This was the case before the release of iPhone 5s (?1466), iPhone 6s, and iPhone X.

Such experiences force me to make a choice every time: buy a thousand-yuan phone to wait for the new iPhone; or buy an iPhone from last year. The first two times I chose "last year's iPhone", but this year I tried something different. I didn't choose to buy a thousand-yuan phone to transition or buy an "old iPhone", but directly bought a domestic Android full-screen flagship (guess which model it is) as a long-term phone, which also means that a 5-year Apple fan has officially switched to the Android camp.

At first, when I was planning to switch to Android, I was a little hesitant. I was worried that I would not be used to the Android system? I was worried that the Android camera would not be good? I was worried that the Android system would freeze? I was worried that the Android system would be unsafe... In short, I had a lot of concerns, but after three days of mental struggle and understanding the product, I finally made the decision to switch to Android. PS: I also prepared Plan B: If it doesn't work, I will sell this Android phone and switch back to iPhone.

After using it for nearly 120 days, I feel relieved and proud because this domestic flagship is no worse than the iPhone X.

Advantages compared to iPhone X:

1. It has an 18:9 full screen. Although it has a forehead and chin visually, the actual screen-to-body ratio is higher than that of the iPhone X.
2. It has a light body, much thinner and lighter than the iPhone X. In addition, the all-metal body is stronger than the glass body, and the back cover will not break.
3. Its system is easy to use, in simple terms, it is more user-friendly. For example: when you use Didi Chuxing to call a car and lock the screen, the phone lock screen interface will become the interface of the Didi application, and the data will be updated in real time.
4. Its sample photos are more pleasing. In terms of camera hardware parameters, Android phones cannot compare with iPhone X, but comparing the sample photos, I prefer the style of Android phones. My friends often say this: I don’t care how clear the photos are, as long as they look good.
5. It has a fast charging function and can charge 80% of the power in one hour. There is no need to carry a mobile power bank with you or look for a charger everywhere.

The above are the advantages of using Android flagships compared to iPhone X. At the same time, I feel some of its shortcomings.

Compared with the shortcomings of iPhone X:

1. It has an 18:9 full screen, but the rear fingerprint recognition feels a bit backward.
2. It has facial recognition, and the recognition speed is fast, but the security is far less secure than the iPhone X's facial recognition.
3. Its system is open source and not as secure as iOS, but the premise is that you download and use "unsafe software". If you use commonly used software, there is no need to worry about security issues.
4. It does not have the ecosystem of Apple products, so the device connectivity is not as good as the iPhone. For example, the data of the iPhone can be automatically synced to the MacBook via iCloud.

Seeing this, you may ask, is it meaningful to compare this Android flagship with iPhone X? Can it represent other Android flagships?

Are they all the same or are they different?

Since the second half of this year, domestic full-screen mobile phones have flooded in, ranging from high-end business flagships to youth options priced at RMB 1,000. This shows the high penetration rate and rapid growth of full-screen phones. If last year was the year of the dual-camera explosion in the mobile phone industry, then this year is definitely the year of the popularization of full-screen phones. Even if the "artificial intelligence" that is very popular in the technology industry is added to mobile phones, it may have to be put off until next year.

So my point is: the domestic full-screen new phones that have been released so far are extremely homogeneous in appearance because they are equipped with 18:9 full-screen phones; you can even say that if you look at the front of the phone, you will think it is the same product. In addition, let alone the configuration, the problem of hardware homogeneity has never disappeared since the advent of smartphones. PS: Android phones: we are all the same.

Although the appearance and configuration of today's full-screen mobile phones are highly homogenized, each product still has its own target group (positioning) and different user demand solutions. Some focus on portrait photography, some focus on backlight photography, some focus on safety, some focus on business, and some focus on young people...PS: Android manufacturers: We are different.

Therefore, the Android full-screen flagship I use can represent most of the indicators and features of the current Android camp, so the comparison between this Android flagship and iPhone X is representative, and can serve as a reference for students who are about to switch from iPhone to Android camp.
