You are either being a huge liar or a troll. Android viruses?? That rarely happens to my friends. And laggy those are either trash speced androids or others. Instead of being the biased person you are how about this. IOS is for people who like their phones functioning out of the box and android is for tinkering.

        I'm so happy that I got my 256GB (PRODUCT)RED iPhone 11 back in November. I've been through at least 5 Android devices since my very first smartphone, which was an iPhone 3G, and I'm never going back to that buggy, laggy, poorly updated, heavily fragmented, malware-infested platform ever again lol.

Always bashing Samsung when they don't deliver something polished while making excuses for shortcomings of iOS and iPhones. So I don't trust their reviews when it comes to smartphones.

          Yes plz tell me where I can get paid for supporting Samsung since they have produced great flagships over the years and I will continue to support them.

          I replace flagships every 12-18 months. Every time I go towards another brand, for my next one, I go back to Samsung.

            [deleted post]If someone is rich and buys iPhone i don't think he goes to bankrupt :)

            Why it's foolish to buy iPhone? You get great value for what you bought, if you want you can use that same phone 4-5 years easily with up to date OS.

                  Look at the article where Anandtech complains of how slow the S9/Note 9 (Exynos 9810) is. The drivers and architecture. Even Samsung decided to stop shipping units to Anandtech (look at the comments section). Read that carefully then comment here.

                  Then you can see Anandtech's assessment about the Google Pixel 4. Some has complained a purplish tint in camera shots, look at that article very carefully. Even GsmArena didn't notice this at all. Anandtech mentioned this issue. Just giving an example how Anandtech does provide honest assessments of phones or its components.

                  You are definitely a Sammy sheep paid to insult Apple's offerings. Just take a look at GsmArena's review of the S20 Ultra and how dissapointing it is. ios just reigns supreme in other aspects. Even Chinese OEMs such as Xiaomi and realme has clearly done (much) better than Shamesung. Number one manufacturer in the world and number one cheater as well. Worse than Apple.

                        Lot's of "sour grapes" comments...

                        These are the facts. Fanboys can argue and make excuses, but the fact won't change.

                        In most developed countries, once you pass a certain education and income level, the iPhone reigns supreme. It's well designed and well supported, and mostly "just works", which is why it sells.

                              Exactly! XR screen in real life looks very good. I compared it to my X and it was surprisingly close the quality of X screen which was best screen in the market back then.

LOL no. i can't stop laughing of your ignorance. here is my advice to you, go get a decent work that pays you a lot of money, so you can buy the newest flagship from either apple or android brand, if you're still deny that, then i can see you're still a boy or a poor man with extreme fanboyism

Yet I downgraded from 1080p phone and I couldn't care any less because image is so good I just plain don't care. But some just can't get over the fact that otherwise high end phone has such "low" resolution on paper. And LCD. Everyone raving about it and I'm like, who cares? Sure, OLED has the blacks and power saving if you run it in dark mode, but again, the image is so good and battery lasts me for 2 days most of the time I just plain don't care. And I've had SuperAMOLED phone almost a decade ago (Galaxy S2). iPhone also has something no Android has. Good software support for years to come. Unlike garbage Android where you're lucky if you get 2 years of updates. And I can guarantee you never get them on release day like with iOS, usually you have to wait for months. One of major reasons why I've gone with iPhone.

                                      How sad you are not able to accept reality and now you talk about iPhone SE even though they aren't on the list oh btw iPhone SE or even iPhone 6S still got the latest version of iOS.

                                      This is a fact that is supported by existing data not just some BS like what you said, Android users are too poor to buy flagship phones from their favorite brand and most of them do not use common sense when buying a phone.

                                      Many of you talk $#!t about iPhone users brand loyalty to Apple well at least when you buy an iPhone, even the cheapest version it can run all the applications and games available usually with better optimization than even flagship phones from Android.
                                      Meanwhile in the time where Samsung and some other brands provide 8K video recording on their flagship phones there are many of Android user willing to waste their hard earned money to buy a $#!tty phones with low resolution (540 x 960 pixels) and low ppi (220 ppi density) screen just because their love for a certain brand.
