    i'm so happy with my Samsung Galaxy S7

    I dont understand why creative people dont switch to Android... you can customize Android indefinitely and give it the look you want. Creative people normally like that, no? iOS is so hermetic and frankly, kinda ugly.

    I know its a tough decision to switch from something when it's been years you're using it. I wasn't 100% sure when i've made the switch last year. But after a few months I was hooked; there's no way i want to go back to iOS. If you like options and custumize your stuff as you wish, Android is for you.

    It's very funny that Android is seen by creative people as the system for nerds and non-creative people... Its should be different, creatives should try it and they'll see. iOS is made for our moms and dads.

    Same things with computers, why paying that much for Apple computers just because OSX? Windows is perfectly fine these days. And all the softwares and apps are cross platforms now. Its the same thing everywhere.

    Everyone is criticizing Apple but Apple have implemented the cool factor so deeply in public's mind that people continue to think Apple is cooler than Android. The power of marketing eh!

    Anyways :P

    • So true. Latest build of stock android looks gorgeous anyway. Every time I use iOS now I cringe. It looks shit and the UX is terrible.set
    • And iphones are sometimes twice the price and shatter when you drop them once. My Sony X has been dropped on concrete 4 times and only has minor edge scuffset
    • Plus people pay £100 extra for more storage - LOL. The same storage I can insert into my Sony SD slot for about £10set
    • My Galaxy is 32Gb with a 128Gb SD lol :) I could go as up as 200Gb SD added to the 32Gb.Bennn
    • Plus you're locked into iTunes when my phone just mounts as an HD on my mac. It really is rather astonishing that intelligent people still buy iphonesset
    • Android still looks like shit to me. I like the customisation factor but user experience not so much better IMHO.yuekit
    • I enjoy learning about other phones, but knowing the money I have in iOS apps, and the integration with my work and home macbook prosmg33
    • there's just not a convincing argument to be made for me to consider something other than an iPhone. I'm sure I'm not alone in that.mg33
    • I find it bizarre that anyone could find that material design 'looks like shit'... But each to their own. I guess =/set
    • I'm not sure how much more customizable Android is than iOS. The convenient way iphones interface with my computers and Apple TV is too much to risk losing.CyBrainX
    • I have more important things to do with my creativity to than customize my phone's icons. There is 0 value in customization.jtb26
    • Windows is fine if....a unix based system in unimportant to you. Many dev tools don't work with Windows, or require hacks to run.section_014
    • I want it to work. Sadly, Apple can't claim that anything 'just works' anymore. That's the problem.jtb26
    • You can't make random claims that iOS is for your parents and then say you prefer Windows to OSX. What are you parents using for a desktop computer?CyBrainX
    • Both OS's are so close it's irrelevant imho. I was keeping an open mind to the i7, but I am going for a Note 7, the screen is the deciding factor for me.formed
    • Android = many variations and flavors, plus not always up-to-date for every phone. So it's not quite as simple as saying "just buy an Android".evilpeacock
    • Plus, the Note 7 is recalled due to the exploding battery, so I'd wait to get one if you're looking at that model.evilpeacock
    • I don't want to customize my phone. I just want it to work (which my iPhone 6s does just fine). Also, Windows is shit.soundsinsilence
    • Windows is not shit, why people say such bs is beyond me. I love Apple's hardware, software not so much.
      Yeah, I am waiting for some nice incentives to get
      formed
    • the Note 7. I was waiting to see what the i7 would be better than rumors to switch back but it's not.formed
    • ''Windows is shit'' says someone who's not using it i guess. How is it shit?Bennn
    • It will also burn your car or house down. FAA says not to fly with them. Yeah, great phone.severian
    • Totally agree Benn.fadein11
    • Was about to get the Note 7 until the damn battery issue. Currently got a Note4 and love it still and nearly 2 years old.fadein11
    • Note 7 battery issue will be fixed quickly. Never had an issue with a samsung so idiot iphone fanboys saying there shit based on that is bullshit. Was afadein11
    • supplier issue and could happen to any manufacturer including apple (like they havent had launch issues in the past lol).fadein11
    • the apps that i like to use are mainly on the iOS that's why i use it, but this 7 version is dump without the no audio jack. i use the jack fir mics now i cantCGN
    • *they'refadein11
    • Samsung Galaxies look like a 2001 Ford Taurusseverian
    • lol - buys phone for looks only - says it all. enjoy your overpriced out of date iphone.fadein11
    • CGN wich apps are you using that are not on Android?Bennn
    • Just the 'back' button on Android devices worth the switchBennn
    • Enjoy being angry and owning something no one cares that you own.severian

    • haha - I don't buy something so people care that I own it, too old for that bullshit.fadein11
    • Buy what you need/want. Neither iPhone or flagship Android are total crap. People are different, etc.evilpeacock
    • amenfadein11
    • I'm actually considering getting an android after have and iPhone for many years. what phone are you on Benn?dbloc
    • "Plus, the Note 7 is recalled due to the exploding".
      That would never happen with an iPhone...

    • $400 gets you a phone with a 5.5" QHD screen, unibody, expandable storage, decent CPU/GPU, fingerprint sensor, the whole magilla. Fuck expensive kit.face_melter
    • I am counting on some nice incentives for a Note 7. I can't imagine the fix will take long. It's gorgeous, only a tad taller than my S5 and same widthformed
    • w a much larger screen. I agree the S5 looks like crap, but the screen is gorgeous.formed
    • So the hardware is now your new social network. Android users are not for parents, instead creative users because you can change the background.omg
    • The Note 7 battery fix is unprecedented since it's all the shipped phones, not just select batches. It's costing Samsung BIG bucks, but at least they're on it.evilpeacock
    • It was a colossal mistake, but what, 35 phones had problems? I blame Apple, if they weren't trying to beat the i7 release, it would never have happened (j/k)formed
