bored at work at my desk, so I’d like to start a discussion WALL O TEXT ALERT
What’s with the huge arguing if using android device vs Apple? I never understood this. If you prefer one device over another, what’s the point in bashing someone else’s choice? Here’s some background on my phones throughout the years, this will go in order from when I had the device
Moto Krzr: first phone in 8th grade, awesome device, I got the red one for Christmas. I loved that damn thing. Everyone had the Razr and i was the only kid with the Krzr. It definitely turned some heads
EnV 3: ah the old physical keyboards on phones , my high school self could type on that thing for days.
HTC Thunderbolt : the first LTE capable phone. Anyone remember when LTE first came out and it was only in the cities? I live in Delaware so i was still stuck on 3G. I remember goung to Pittsburgh and being blown away with the speeds of the phone. It was shocking and I was excited to see where smartphones were going.
IPhone 5: first iPhone I’ve owned. I had an iPod Touch, but now I didn’t need it anymore. I thought FaceTime was awesome, iMessage was cool and there were always apps that came out of iOS first compared to the android market.
Galaxy s4: Got tired of not many customization options for the iPhone so i traded with a friend and got the s4. Man touch wiz was so unecessary in my opinion. Made things slower after time. But I was having fun rooting the device and playing roms. Dropped the phone on hardwood floor and it cracked
Droid Ultra: bought this sucker on eBay , thing was nearly brand new. Man the battery life on this guy was insane. Went 2 days a few times without charging. Loved how droid didn’t add too much overtop the stock android experience. I also liked how I could tap my screen to get a quick look at notifications/date/time
Note 4: beastly phone, great display, huge screen for media. I honestly didn’t use the spen as much as I should of honestly. Touch Wiz wasn’t nearly as bad from what I remember with my s4. Probably because of the extra RAM
iPhone 6 Plus: the second i saw Apple was doing a plus model for the phone, I knew I wanted it and I was getting burnt out on android. wanted to switch things up. Battery was good, screen wasn’t as good as my note. But I was back in the Apple ecosystem of iMessage and such. I liked it
LG v10: I remember walking into T-Mobile with the mission to get the Samsung s6 Edge Plus. Didn’t even know the v10 came out. I saw the secondary screen and I was hooked from the jump. I liked the phone. The fingerprint scanner wasn’t that good though. I did like rugged build though. First phone I’ve ever used without a case 24/7. Got hit with the boot loop bug after having the phone less than a year. I was pissed and vowed never to get an LG product again
Note 7: oh man, this one. I remember Samsung posting the reveal on twitter, this thing looked GREAT. Immediately went to T-Mobile and preordered. Got the phone the day before release day for some strange reason. I found myself using the spen ALOT. Screen was gorgeous, I was having fun. Even bought a gear s2 with it. One huge problem is that I was not getting good battery like at all. I was getting 3 hours of actual usage before I’d have to charge the phone. My buddy had one and it was the complete opposite. I had no idea what I was doing wrong. Then I get the text about the recalls. I was pissed . Loved the phone, but I had to return it
Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge: I hated it, hated the size, hated the edge, I even hated the damn color they gave me because they didn’t have gold. No matter, this is just a filler until they release the note 7 again.
Note 7 (2): woo back to my note 7! Oh how I missed you spen. Battery life seemed to be better as well....two weeks later, nope you gotta return the phone again, we are going to just pull the note 7 all together .....WTF.... had no idea what i wanted to do.
iPhone 7 Plus: hmmm, I like that matte black color....meh, I’ll give it a shot since I don’t want another LG , hated the S7 Edge. I liked being back in the Apple ecosystem. Hated the screen quality next to my note 7. I lived with it and got use to it.
iPhone X: I was yearning for more. Got the series 3 and an iPad . I wanted to just dive in fully with apple. I messed around with the X demo unit at my job. Works well. Feels premium and I liked the screen quality . Didn’t like the price....but I would only be paying $20 more on my bill so I said eh let’s do it.
Long story short, I have a pretty unbiased opinion with smart phones. I don’t get the bashing of one brand compared to another. Both devices have their pros and cons. Instead of bashing someone, why not objectively look at someone’s differing opinon , acknowledge you don’t agree and then move on?
TL;DR: who cares if someone prefers something else? How old are we ?
