What are the phones storage space, that is more important than the irrelevant options you listed.

growing: Apple’s iPhone 17 is on the way. But here’s the truth—Android makers aren’t waiting. These 5 powerful Android flagships already rival (and in some cases outshine) what the iPhone 16 brought to the table. From insane cameras to lightning-fast
For real brah..... I hated iPhone to the core cuz I use samsung.... but omooo I happen to use iPhone for just a week when my sister left it for me cuz she was travelling.... omoooo I can say something for sure.... I don't know what type of feeling iphone has on the hands and finger.... I just couldn't explain it..... I think there's something about the ergonomics design

shocked cool cool cool All this one's will pass too.
Where is black berry today??
Know someone who did ashawo work because of black berry then.
Now many people will not touch it with long pole
Immediately android came out, I told people that blackberry is gone. They didn't believe me. Gradually, it was faced out.
WhatsApp was the major reason. It beat pinging hands down.

I'm a big fan of Android phone. And again you should have wrote their price tags on them to give awareness to those wanting to get any of these devices cool

I will definitely pick the Pixel 9. Phone is a beast fully packed with AI. No other phone comes close to it. iPhone or whatever is just names.

Currently using a Pixel 5 and the phone is madt!!

The future is AI and when it comes to AI, Samsung and Google pixel is leading in this aspect.

We have gotten to the point where chipset on flagship don't really matter because an everyday normal user won't notice the difference anymore.

Software is the leading factor now.
It was Samsung who ran BlackBerry out. If Apple ain't careful, Samsung will force them to redesign and rethink another innovation. Don't mess with the techies of Samsung. As at 1995-2009 when Nokia was king, Samsung came from humble beginnings of the Symbian and outlasted the Sony Ericsson and Motorola of that Era to stand side by side with Nokia until they came out with the S series. Which launched them into the limelight as a force to be reckoned with. With the Galaxy S series they phased out BlackBerry in 2014.
They're set to do it again. So let IPhone keep up their thing. If they ain't careful, History will repeat itself again.

I use the iPhone primarily because of the operating systems. Nothing running on Android can ever impress me. That’s just my choice

Till today I still feel like one of the reasons why the US banned Huawei wasn't solely because of data theft or spying. I think they were scared of their ideas and innovation. Google is constantly extracting data, spying and using the data collected to improve on their existing products as well as launching new products. Apple is doing the same. Samsung is the only device that seems to in a way give users control over their privacy, although, it still uses customers data.

Huawei phones are solid! Having used Samsung devices for years, I've experienced Huawei and I love it.

In fact, the Huawei mate XT is better than all the Samsung Fold series, all!
You got it right there!

When I used Huawei Mate 9, I knew those guys are ready for business. Trump became so jealous of them that he had to come up with the issue of data theft.

Huawei produces high quality phones.

Aside from Samsung (Oga kpatakpata of them all) and probably Apple and Google Pixel, no phone comes close to Huawei.

Trump didn't come up with anything. It's common knowledge that the Chinese grew their tech industry reverse engineering and stealing technologies from the west. I am not saying that the Chinese people are not smart...they are.

The phones we are managing can do almost all the things that these expensive ones can do.

Lol! No company with a large database extracts and use data like Google. No company!

China as a country invest heavily in education, research and technology. The businesses there do the same. This west you're referring to travel to Asia to learn or import from Asia/Asians. Like you said, Chinese are smart people.


Huawei's growth rate was crazy. If not for this blow by Trump, they would have given Samsung a chase (not run) with their technology. Samsung was the world's largest phone manufacturer. Huawei was the second - producing quality phones, routers, watches and other devices including parts for China, and for other parts of the world.

Please read about Huawei as of 2018/19/20

As a Nigerian and except for few that are engineering professionals most of us buying phones that is priced above don't have a FUNCTIONAL need for those overpriced phones, if you buy a phone above 200k what exactly do you use for separate from the basic functions of android phones, so in essence we only use phones for prestige and nothing more, yorubas call it " Fori Fori" so if you aren't a rocket scientist and you are using the bullshits called Pro maxes then you are in that category that uses for shakara and nothing more.
You right bro. I don't follow trend

I hear that a lot of the AI features are not supported in Nigeria if you buy the pixel. i am trying to buy it but i keep hearing that most of the AI features are locked to certain regions. eg

5G and native volte support
smart compose on gboard and most gboard services like fix it/proofread, Assistant voice typing, native AI image editing, learn about,

gemini features like generative images, calender extension, gemini live

phone features like call scam detection, call screen, call notes

pixel screenshot and pixel studio

realtime transcription, take body temperature , AI summary of weather forecast

Can you confirm this?
