Time for a mobile phone upgrade

Managed to kill the screen on my Galaxy S5 over the weekend. Since it's a work line and I've been using my own HW up until now they're covering a new Pixel 3a.... I've got an iPhone 7 on loan for the time being and it's just reinforcing my dislike of apple

At least I'm not alone in my hatred for Apple Products.

Frankly I’ve been using an iPhone for 2 years now... all vendors have their suck... all vendors have their pluses...

At least these iPhones haven’t been locking up on me every day like my old galaxy S5 and earlier phones..older android phones just sucked!!!

Android is really solid now, true.

But now they are getting manufacturer adware shit.

It's Pay day so I'm revisiting this idea again/more.

@WrCombs for $200 that's pretty cheap, I've never heard of the brand before, but brand recognition isn't all that important

$200 for an unlocked phone? Hell yes that's cheap. I've seen BLU available at staples here, don't know of anyone who's tried one.

Now that I think about it, I've only ever seen what it would cost me a month and not what the total cost of the phone is.

I've been told Apple is the best way to go for a cell phone - Can anyone agree or disagree?
I dont really like apple products..

It's a phone, it makes and receives calls first. Are there features you may want from an iPhone? If so you need to consider those features as something else may not have them.

I tell folks to go what they like. For instance, my Mom love her iPad and has a few paid apps for her iStuff... so I tell her if she's happy with it, just upgrade, otherwise she has to buy the apps again.

If you're interested in the "other side", I say give it a shot. But if you're not really interested, then stick with what you know / like.

Meh. I could go either way. My mom loves her iPhone XS. It takes good pictures and she tortures that thing to death (well other people torture it for her by calling her on it all the time).

I like the Android ecosystem, so I just stick with it. Another phone or two and I'll be ready to switch and give Apple a try again.

Who knows.
