Lol With 60hz low resolution Lcd screen, not to forget terrible single cameras, pathetic 15W charging, terrible battery life and 3rd grade OS which gets basic features 10 years late.
You are in no position to judge what a premium phone is. Pretending to be happy with a 3rd class device.

      [deleted post]Android customers never bother about which of their OEMs makes more money! For the business it may be relevant but for Technology that gets obsolete in few 2-3 years in the smartphone world, customers don’t bother investing more than $300 - $600 in Android and yet they get the maximum value for their money, freedom to upgrade anytime without having to worry about blowing their wallets !!

        lol it took them 10 years to deliver basic widgets and app drawer all of which are still half baked and full of bugs.
        Even budget devices are embarrassing iOS in terms of software features and ease of use.

Simply clueless about features that other people use. Another reason why this company is at the bottom of the barrel when it comes to innovation in the smartphone segment since Apple knows they can refuse to give their users anything new and they'll accept it like a little Sl^ve.

            Nobody would miss iOS if it's wiped off the face of the earth tomorrow.
            We all know how Job's thermonuclear war on Android went downhill with them ending up copying and playing catchup like a dog.

              I know which is better. My wife had iPhone 11 pro. It was terrible compared to her new Mi 10 ultra.

              You Apple fannnz keep talking about Android phones having specs on paper and that they don't translate in real world.
              Think about how ign0rant that statement is...

              33W/65W fast charging on budget phones better than that on iPhone.
              Also better for longevity as the batteries are superior and they are meant to handle higher Watt fast charging, not low end trash batteries which will die if pumped with fast charging like the ones we see on iPhones.

              Even budget smartphones have bigger mightier sensor than iPhone and they aren't cutting costs like we see on iPhone with same old cheap hardware for years. The image quality is also phenomenal compared to iPhone which struggles with white balance, poor amount of details owing to small sensor size, hdr auto night mode that turns night time images into day.

              Android software has proper file management and seamless connection with other devices unlike iPhones which have seamless connectivity with other Apple products, not other products in general making the whole experience handicapped.
              Features like extra privacy like we see on Realme, Mi, features like second space, split screen multitasking, and a 10000 other things which are absent on iOS work flawlessly on budget Android phones.
              On paper software updates where you get a new number in your iOS version is useless.
              Hardware repairing is cheaper and you don't have to pay 500-600$ to replace your 60hz screen.

              Android is better, not only on paper (specsheet) but also in real world.

Compare them side by side and then come here and tell us who has the better quality. Even my iPhone Xr has better quality display than some sub 300€ Android phones. Even though you guys are quickly judgemental on that low resolution (because why not, numbers are all that matter in Android world). Not to mention better speakers and better built quality all around.
                  Of course, all the budget Android phones have nice features nowadays, because this sells now. But don’t make the mistake thinking nice features on paper automatically means quality devices too (especially on the budget devices).
                  And don’t even get me started with the software part, the lack of privacy on Google’s part, bloatware, ads, etc.

                    AnonD-966113, 30 Apr 2021The lies✨The Truth!!!🤛🤜From screens to fast charging to cameras to software, the iPhone gets beaten in multiple areas.
                    There is nothing in the iPhone 12 series that is better than your average 2020 budget Android flagship. Don't even try comparing it to the premium Android flagships.
                    That is the reality.

                    People who buy iPhone are just people who want that Apple logo on the back.
                    Another reason why smartphone cases for the iPhone without the cutout at the back for Apple logo hardly sell.

                                Also, you can't look at the fact that many people who buy iPhones, buy the cheapest models (like the iPhone SE or iPhone Xr), and then you omit the fact that many of Chinese brands users buy the sub 400EUR models, not the expensive ones. So, is the same case scenario. Majority of users will always look at the cheapest models first, not at the best ones.
