drx, 08 Oct 2020well android is still faster, has bigger and longer lasting... moreWhich android phone is that?

Not all have under screen fingerprint.
Not all have more battery than iPhone.

You just spout a ton of features, but did not say which model. To say all android even just flagships does that is simply a joke.

Like you say, a phone is both software and hardware working in unison.

So what if you have the biggest battery? When the software makes it drains fast?
So what if you have octa core? When the software does not make full use of it?
So what if you have tons of ram? When the software lags?
So what if you have the largest display? When the software did not calibrate it well?
So what if you have the highest MP camera? When the software did not create a good photo?
So what if you have the flashiest design.. folding .. flipping? When the software did not have enough apps that take advantage of it?

A good phone is a well mix of software and hardware, just like a well cook dish. Sometimes it cannot be just understand with just specs and features. You have to use one to understand why its good, and read objective truthful reviews. And to say other phones all destroy iPhone.. is simply untrue.

          [deleted post]As long as there will be something better, currently with android it looks like there won't be any real option in many years. Maybe someday there will be phone which i want to switch from iPhone, today it's really difficult and thank god i don't need to do that choice.

            Notch is not intrusion into display, it's extension of the display in the top corners. Besides, iPhones don't have notification bar where icons would have to stack so it's fine to have signal and battery info in those extensions of the display. I personally don't mind it since FaceID in it is so convenient.

                sa11oum, 08 Oct 2020Their hate has increased so much since the iPhone X launche... morewell android is still faster, has bigger and longer lasting batteries, much better displays, still much much more customization options, under display fingerprint readers, much better stereo speakers on some top flagships, much more ram that can actually be used, better cameras, option to use 3rd party apps, a freaking usb-c port which apple still refuses to use and a headphone jack option on some models so apple is still behind in many areas, the only thing i personally consider superior is software updates and that's it in everything else the top 10 android flagships of 2020 destroy apple in all areas tbh. I at least wouldn't trade my oneplus 8 pro to the latest and best iPhone

                        "Almost all android phones will have under-display selfies and full screen displays next year."

                        Only few phones next year will have under-display cam. For the reason i just show you with ZTE, quality is just horrible. Selfie has to be as good as the ones currently in peoples phones, it can't be any worse and currently it is lot worse. If it isn't, there won't be reason to release it for masses. And the quality won't be there end of this year. Because that would mean it has to be if almost all android phones next year have it :D

                        According to news Samsung MIGHT release one under-display cam phone next year and it will be z fold 3 coming in fall, which is end of the next year. So how you think you won't lose your money? :)

                          Apart from foldables, Samsung has been slow at releasing phones with cutting edge tech.

                            A reliable "samsung" leaker predicts apple features from the next year. Is this somehow sus?

                            And other people accuse apple of "sticking to the notch" when a SAMSUNG leaker is the evidence.

I only said if it's winter, Android phone users can still use passcodes if they're wearing masks and gloves. When it's not, they can use fingerprint readers if they're wearing masks. They have 1 more choice to unlock their phone compared to iPhones, which only choice other than face unlock, is passcode. Also, is everyday winter? And must everyone wear gloves in winter?

                                  AnonD-888522, 08 Oct 2020LMFAO...and again you're out in the public 24/7 right?... moreAnd again you use "LMAO" in the beginning of every message you write? I'm just talking about SPECIFIC situations, i.e. being in public.

                                  It's not huge yet, trust me.

                                  Well, in my country some banking apps don't support Face ID at all, even on iOS, guess what? You need to type a pin code EVERY time you log in, whether you're outside or at home.

                                  And your example of gloves is just ridiculous, what happens whet THIS winter comes and you have to wear a mask AND gloves? Guess what, you'll either have to put down the mask to unlock your phone or take off your gloves to enter pin. So your "security" obsession is hilarious even more. What are, double agent? You haven't answered my question before: was there at least one time when you or some of your close ones were hacked because of the "unsecure" face unlock on Android? I think the answer is "no" to that, since you completely ignored it previously.

                                    I hope they provide touch ID in future as sliding my mask below nose every time is super annoying. I would have gone for SE but it has super pathetic battery life. For professionals working outdoors face ID is really not that helpful.
                                    The only thing apple did good was the update to detect face when you slide your mask below nose otherwise earlier we had to either type the full password or remove the mask altogether to unlock the phone.

                                      We can bet money, but you would lose your money, because the tech isn't that ready yet. Yes we have ZTE phone having one and the quality is just horrible. ZTE could made that because no-one is buying them, no big company could never release such a crappy camera for selfies nowdays.

                                      For example if you use portrait mode with the ZTE it only takes 5MP photos and they look absolutely horrible. https://youtu.be/QW_RdZbxcQQ?t=304 Just check from here and do you seriously think we will see this stuff in almost every android next year, seriously? :D those non boked photos look very horrible and fake too.

                                      But again ZTE was possible to do this because no-one cares how bad it is.

                                        So there's no point in responding really.
