Hi guys. After a lifetime with iPhone I am considering switching to Android with Samsung Galaxy taking advantage of Black Friday.

What are the advantages and disadvantages? I would buy S23 Plus. It should cost around €750.

I currently use iCloud to keep my photos, notes, contacts, etc. safe. I do not have Apple Watch, but I have a Mac mini M1.

Is anyone familiar with both systems and can tell me about them in detail? Does this make sense or should I stay on iPhone?

Let’s say iOS is a bit boring, sometimes cumbersome, but I don’t know if the grass is greener on the other side.

Thanks!

    Currently have an S23 plus and a 15 pro max. I just love the customization aspect that android has, being able use different launchers, change icons easily, way better widgets and plus the keyboard is way more robust. With RCS coming in 2024, Android is such a good option and the one main disadvantage(in the usa at least) should not be a disasvatange with RCS coming. If you truly love to tinker with your phone and make it truly how you want. Go android. Other than that, I don’t really see any disadvantages of using android phones. With Samsung the ecosystem is there. And all of the things I can do on my Samsung, I can do on my iPhone. I don’t care about imessage and FaceTime but the upgrade to multimedia messages will be awesome if RCS is implemented correctly.

    You can have your photos backed up with Google photos on android and iPhone.
