Over the years I've had a chance to own and try several different models of Android devices and while I'm primarily an Apple user, I'm continually impressed by how far Android has come and even surpasses iphones in screen quality, cameras, battery life and UI.
Performance however is where it still lags and requires ever increasing specs on chipsets and memory to keep pace with the iPhone. After 3 years the typical Android is considered slow...iPhone that's not even middle age and can go another 3 years to at least 6 years when it's comparatively slow.
When Android bridges that performance gap it'll be the decline of iPhone to becoming a niche brand. Even though I'm an Apple fan, I remain agnostic. It's unlikely to happen as the problem is not the specs, but the Android OS. Which is weird as Linux is fast on old computers and Android is based on Linux, yet somehow it cannot duplicate the same performance experience on a more powerful device like a flagship smartphone?
What's next? Not gonna lie...the Samsung flip phones are looking good and the 5th generation ZFlip5 now folds flat and Samsung has worked out a lot of the issues and tweaked it into a viable form factor. I'm really liking the concept of a folding smartphone screen.
My Android collection over the years:
- LG K7
- Samsung Note 4
- Samsung S8+
- Samsung A32 5G
- Samsung A15 5G
