is this you?

Android is too flexible for my liking, it allows me to do virtually anything at a faster pace,
Android is so smooth when using it with Google Products & Services.
Honestly I see iPhone like BlackBerry, am not hating on iPhone, but I would gladly pick a Droid over an iPhone

As someone who has used practically all the best Samsung phones (Galaxy S4, S5, and S6 Edge +, Plus Galaxy Note 4 and 5), I can tell you that Samsung phones are not anywhere comparable to the Iphones. And I have only used iphone 5s and the 6s plus. In fact, my conclusion is that Samsung phones are for those who can't afford the iphone ... just like the Range Rover is the best car for those who can't afford the Lexus LX series.

I am never going to buy another Samsung phone again ... ever!

Tell us why... Are you saying iPhone is luxury?
What do u use your iPhone for?
What can your iPhone do?

What just trips me is the iTunes store Apple has. I'm really tired of Sammy jarey.
Used a Note 1, Galaxy NoteTab 10.1, now using a galaxy A5. I enjoyed my Air2 iTunes till they stole when my house was burgled. Used a Torch3 and bold 2 six 6 years ago.
I miss the exciting iTunes which is kinda different from others. It's something new that's already I'm bedded in a phone with me chatting with different artists through the app. Once had a chat with 50cent and Drake sef.

Unlike android that you'll have to download Spinlet, Boom player and etc. ITunes is kinda more solid and real.

SMH...

Very well said. Samsung can copy Apple all they want but they can never clone the iphone. It's all about the operating system. The ios operating system is the world’s most advanced mobile operating system. It very well optimized and the android doesn't come even close.
That's why an average Samsung phones would have all those high level specs like 4GB Ram etc. but an iphone with a supposedly lesser specs would outperform them hands down.

What are the features that Samsung copied. Educate us

nextstep:
Reasons to prefer iPhone (and none of it to do with social status/consciousness):

1. Design. From the font choices, to the menus, to color, to buttons sizes, to how the apps work together, the iPhone consistently delivers a smoother user experience. The difference between iPhone and Android is a carryover from the difference between MacOs and Linux, where the former feels well thought out by designers, and the latter slapped together by engineers.

2. Ease of use. Again, designers vs engineers. You pick up an iphone 9.9 times out of 10 you will succeed in the task you want to accomplish, pretty easily. On the Android it's hit or miss (they've been getting better, but it's taken many iterations of AndroidOS to get to where iOS was 4 years ago)

3. Simplicity/continuity. Read somewhere how to do something? On iPhone you can replicate those steps pretty easily. On Android, the proliferation of manufacturers and models makes it much harder to be sure that you can replicate those same steps.

4. Tight integration with other Apple hardware: pair airpods with iPhone. Now pair other headphones with Android. Uh huh. Again, other manufacturers have caught up somewhat, but getting Apple hardware to talk to each other is effortless. Not the same with other manufacturers.

That said, the Android platform has enabled manufacturers to experiment and release features years ahead of Apple (e.g. NFC, payments, app store, waterproof, edge-to-edge screen, fingerprinting, pattern unlock, dual sim, expandable storage, wireless charging). And not too long ago(4,4s days), Apple was making fun of Samsung's large phones... I guess Samsung better understood the market.

There's a lot of value in simplicity... not everybody has the time, willingness to tweak and customize to their hearts content... but they have the money/desire to buy something that has fewer knobs and just works.

Finally someone who can see beyond luxury

Yup. Iphone is a status symbol. You can say the same about Samsung.

Where do I start? In fact, they ripped everything, except for the iOS operating system, from the iPhone.
Don't you remember when Apple sued Samsung for copyrights infringements?

Which Samsung phone comes with a good battery and is affordable, my s4 battery is not good at all probably I should get another battery or change the phone

I love apple for the swag but I prefer android for functionality. That's why I will always buy Samsung over apple.

Did you read where I put "Used?"

No wonder JAMB had to put UME cutoff at 120...if you can't comprehend something as simple as this I wonder what you'll grasp then...your smartphone is prolly smarter than you are

Even price matters; especially for those who have a low budget. Here's a list of cheap Android phones below 30k.

Nope. Actually, what Apples does is to take a few Samsung's design and make it better.
We call that innovation
