It's fine to have a good quality android phone too, the note 20 ultra looks incredibly premium and can rival an iPhone in many ways, it's really a matter of personal preference.

The thing with android is that there are dozens of companies and many put out bad stuff so you must know now to pick your phone right, in the iOS world you can pick any phone and it will be very high quality regardless, unfortunately there are very few iPhones to choose from in any given year, so each has some disadvantages that you have to live with.. again relax, no black magic here.

My son was using LetV Le1 a Mediatek device for 5 years without any issues running old Android version refusing to upgrade or update the OS. Android is way ahead of iOS in features and performance. iPhone May sound attractive but OS wise Android miles apart

      Boggy-Stefy, 21 Aug 2020The problem is not that are not running ok, the problem is ... moreWell said, i'v seen that so many times. With iPhone that doesn't happen because apps in iOS lives in sandboxes, so no matter how much stuff you put to your phone it won't make it slower or laggy because those apps doesn't use your device recources. Android works like Windows. We all been there when we install new windows and it's super fast and wait year and you wan't to reinstall the windows because it's so slow and painful to use because all the crap you got there from using it, excactly same with android. That's why you can find all kind of phone cleaners apps from play store and they are very popular, for example ccleaner app have over 50 MILLION downloads. Phone Cleaner- Cache Clean, Android Booster Master again over 50 million downloads.

It's just like with Windows PC. you reinstall windows and it works like charm. Wait one year and it's really slow, starting up is lot slower, opening softwares takes longer to load and so on.

        When you buy iPhone it always works like you just took it from the box. It's always been big strenght with iPhone, no matter how you use it loading times are always same and your phone stays smooth. It is because apps live in sandboxes with iOS so all the apps have only small access to iOS core, so they can't slow your phone no matter how many games or apps you install your phone won't slow from it.

          Taterman66, 20 Aug 2020"Junk, backdoor adphones". Haters, eh?Absolutely not referring to android OS itself or the few good companies that provide quality products and respect their customers that be post sales care or their data.

          But let's be clear, google lets bad oranges play the game too, there are no strict standards or oversight to control quality and security, the same people that play the price game to kill competitors and then collect their profits out of ads and data theft.

            None of the 2018 flagships show issues that you mentioned.

              Even budget 200$ devices from 2018 with heavy skins don't slow down or show hiccups.

              Had galaxy note 9 Exynos from 2018.
              Was running smoothly uptil I sold it few months back.

              BTW, P10 lite is not flasghip phone.

I had a Huawei P10 lite for about 8 months from mid 2017 until start of 2018. Give it in 2018 to my father, he is still using it today. For him is still ok, except the battery that I think needs replacement. But, for me now, the phone is laggy and slow, compare to when I had it in 2017-2018. Scrolling through menu, opening closing apps, everything has lag. The phone is not unusable by any means, but is not the same as in the beginning.
                  That is the problem with Android phones imo. Maybe that problem is not so obvious in flagship devices, but in mid-range and low-end ones is 100% true.
                  You usually don't see that in an iphone. Unless the person that was using it was careless and didn't take care of the phone.
                  That is why you can still find people today using iphone SE 2016 (me included), iphone 6s, or even iphone 6 or 5s. Including young people, like 20-30 years old.
                  You don't find so many people using, I don't know, Samsung S5, S6 or S7 for example. Unless they are seniors or something. Or don't really care about tech or phones in general.

                    Clever wrapped strategies Apple used, increasing every year prices but keeping them on the leash to lust their products, perfect sect/cult way of doing business milking poor souls to the point that they where charging customers triple the prices of competiton for basic things like chargers or repairs. Job really did incredible job master of con.

I am a reasonable person who buys based on logic and I can only see Apple products providing me best value for my money for what I want.

                            Apple makes great products and do great marketing, you are right about emotions. Because that is what matters end of the day, how you feel when you use the product and Apple is master in that, they make experience which people absolutely love to use. That’s why Apple users keep staying in Apple ecosystem and Apple have most satisfied customers. That’s why also even Android OEMs CEOs use iPhone :)

                            I don’t know what you mean by Logic? If you have money to buy Apple products you very likely won’t be disappointed with them and you get lot for your money.

                            Hint: Apple best marketing is their happy users. If you remember how Apple Watch said to be flop when it came because it didn’t sell anything like Apple products usually. See where the Apple Watch is now? Marketing didn’t sell that product to tens of millions people, it was the fact that people find out how great and useful product it is.

                              A good marketing is like good looking people. At the beginning they are attracting all the attention, but after 15 minutes they better know something when they open their mouth.

                              Also, nobody said that you need to buy expensive iphones each time. That is the beauty of it. An iphone 8 (talking purely about software) will beat just about any Android on the market right now, below 300EUR. And a second hand one will cost you around 250EUR with 1 year warranty and battery health above 85%. You can easily have it for at least 2-3 years from now and still receive software updates for it.
                              Of course, depends on what you want in your phone, if you want latest design and spec sheet, go for an Android, but the end experience will always be inferior (especially for low-end or mid-range Android phones). For me that is a deal breaker, knowing that my phone has 6Gb ram and when I compare it side by side with a 2GB ram iphone is slower in opening apps and scrolling through menu, is the end for me.
