Android really sucks, but ios is only marginally better, and then you're forced into using Apple's universe of nonsense, so it's honestly a wash on that front. android has better hardware kinda. it's a Sophie's choice.

the OP reads like a conversation i’d have about video game consoles at age 10 where they’d say n64 had “better 3d” and i’d say dreamcast had “louder bass” and neither of us knew what we were talking about but would maybe get the odd thing right on some level

android has better screens? they’re notorious amongst developers for having totally unreliable colours and brightness such that you have to change colours on a per-device basis to make sure it’s your brands trademark colour. the iphone has “near textbook perfect” colour calibration and is the best smartphone display period according to DisplayMate http://www.displaymate.com/iPhoneX_ShootOut_1a.htm#Best_Smartphone

the average USSR citizen subscribed to 4 periodicals, had a personal library and museum attendance was higher than the total population, and yet here in capitalism we do not even know which product has the best screen, how the gently caress is the free market supposed to work then huh you loving idiot

even without the os you have the terrible cpu/gpu combos that can barely run a 1080p screen at more than 20fps

shagger here is some gray forum praise for the best phone, the oneplus 6. if you can't trust this guy who can you trust?

Tykero posted:

People in this thread seem to have long memories for OnePlus' fuckups and short memories for everyone else's.


The OnePlus 6 is getting great reviews because it's a great phone. It's not the best phone for everyone (how could it be?), but for a specific set of people it's basically perfect.
If you live in the United States and want a top-of-the-line chipset, a headphone jack, no bloatware, and plenty of support for rooting/custom ROMs/etc. (however unnecessary that may be these days) the OnePlus 6 is basically your best and only option.

The Pixel 2 XL is also a great phone, and would be preferable if you want a better camera, don't care about the lack of a 3.5mm jack, and are buying a new one to avoid the bevy of issues the first line of production has.

Tykero posted:

They definitely exist in a similar class of appeal. OP6 overall device performance tracks better than the Pixel 2 in the tests I've seen. Google's quality control and support are good, but we are still taking about the Pixel 2, which had notorious quality control issues following its launch.
You can certainly get the Pixel 2 for a great price these days if you find a sale and don't mind financing it through a carrier, but it's still 10~50% more expensive depending on which versions of each device you're comparing. Custom software support is great for both Pixel and OnePlus devices. I don't see a big list of negatives for the OP6.

It really comes down to what's important to you in a phone. I just wanted to offer a dissenting opinion from the OnePlus bashing in this thread, because apparently every stupid mistake they made gets to live forever next to companies with exploding phones, reliable bootloop failure, broken color display etc. unmentioned. OnePlus' stupid marketing/branding (such as "Never Settle" on what is clearly a 'budget' option for people who want a flagship phone) fuels the criticism I'm sure.

android is closer to the windows experience than ios op (clunky, sluggish at times, very accessible development so you can find endless amounts of lovely apps)

so android is probably the best fit for u
