Just spewing utter bullshit. Google phones are top class. Generally the highest rates of android on the market. There's more android OEM than you can Shake a stock at. New ones come onboard pretty regularly and old ones fade away. I think HTC is coming BS k from the dead. Sony continues to churn out decent enough phones and youve got the OnePlus and other Chinese phones under that brand.
All pretty decent and every single one of them can text and play tiktok. If that's your criteria a dumb phone from 2010 can do that.
Why would you pedastall a 1200$ or however much apple goes for. If you want basics buy basics.
Top class enh?
Must be why the forums and communities are full of people asking about battery drain, reception issues, and software update bugs.
Also what iPhone you buying that’s $1200? You do know samsung has several devices that are more expensive than even the top tier iPhone, right?
Regularly gets voted top android phone. So yeah. Top class. All phones have issues. Does pixel have more or less issues than any other. Hard to say. Plenty issues though. Battery drain is software though and impacts all phones.
No. iPhone has the most expensive phone options. What's the cheapest flagship for this year ?
Battery issues and overheating from the Tensor SoC, which we all know is based on the Exynos (which Samsung stopped using because it was so bad).
On the price:
Top spec models -
Samsung S23 Ultra 1 TB is $1619
iPhone 14 Pro Max 1 TB is $1599
Normal models-
Samsung S23 128 is $799
iPhone 14 128 is $799
How is the iPhone more expensive? At worst it's the same price, and you get more than double the years of software support.
Apologies at the $20 difference. I've no interest in fact checking you. I'm assuming they're a high end iPhone that's gold and cones with extra security and such. But yeah loads of phones have overheating. My OnePlus 9 had horrible over heating. Samsungs gave been prone to it and plenty other ones. Sometimes they explode.
Phones have defects like everything else.
No argument on software side. Apple is great with software. It had lawsuits because it intentionally slows the phone to a crawl though. Samsung and other androids can be unlocked and flashed though.
So both have some leeway there
