Hi guys,

This week hive Ghana have presented us with very interesting topics to choose from. In my opinion, all these topics are brilliant but I’ll go for the IOS and Android debate.

The IOS and Android debate are two great devices. I don’t mind using any of these two but I do have my preference as well. Back in the day, this topic was what I loved to argue about. As a guy who loves a Samsung device am always forced to argue in favor of Androids even though at times we the Samsung users feel like Samsung needs to get away from the Android ecosystem.

At times I feel like Samsung users get too much disrespect just because they are using the Android OS.

I usually like to refer to Samsung devices as an upgrade to Android devices but it doesn’t kill the fact that Samsung devices are Android devices.

If I were given the chance to choose between an Android and an IOS device I’d go for an Android device considering they will both be high-end devices. Before you say shit, I am using an Apple device and forgive me but I don’t find anything special about IOS devices. Yes, they are great but charley I’d take my Android for many days. I’ve been considering this for a while but am sure my next phone upgrade will be back to a Samsung device. Just like how some people are crazy about iPhones, am also crazy about Samsung.

Each time we argued about this topic in the past, my friends who are big-time apple lovers always said it was because I’ve never used an Apple device before that’s why am always talking against it. They said if I get to use an Apple device then I’ll fall in love with it and forget all about Samsung.

Well, I think if they also get to use a good Android phone then they’ll get to appreciate it. They’ll even realise that things on Apple devices which have just been introduced have been on Samsung and other Android for years before Apple implemented it.

Am always wowed when Apple users are so amazed when Apple decide to introduce a new feature to iOS. Mostly they are features which have been on Android for a couple of years and then Apple refines them and then gives its a new name, to say the least.

Am not against iPhones. I think they are awesome devices but my choice is and always will be a Samsung.

Sort:  

I have never used Samsung
But from what I hear about Samsung makes me want to use it one day

Don’t buy Samsung, when the screen bursts it’ll cost you a kidney to fix it.

Apple screens are equally expensive unless you are using an iPhone 6.

You’ll pay more to fix Samsung s4 screen than iPhone 8

are you talking of the S4 of 2013 or a different s4?

That is not possible man. Even the whole S4 doesn't cost much now.

The 2013 S4. I’m talking of the screen. It’s more expensive than iPhone 8

😂yes I have heard about how expensive it is to repair or change parts too

Good 👍🏿

I've been a samsung fan boy all my life. The iPhone am using currently is my first iphone and I might change back to samsung later on.

I kinda want to join in the "debate" :D

I am currently using a OnePlus 9 Pro which is also part of the Android Family and before this phone I had a OnePlus 6T and before that I had a Samsung. I did have an Iphone, but thats way back xD.

The reason I changed from Samsung to OnePlus was because Samsung was becoming too expensive just like iPhones are and OnePlus 6T & OnePlus 9 Pro was Flagship phones just cheaper and it have been a very nice "ride" up until OnePlus introduced their own Operator System called ColorOS. It had so many bugs to begin with and I lost "key" features while my mate who have the same phones, still have those features x)
ColorOS seems stable now, but my phone is just slowly dying.

So I will be switching to a Google Pixel here soon. Not the new Google Pixel 8, but to Google Pixel 7 - Its still a good phone and not that expensive and I am quite excited to try a Google Pixel, I have never had one :D

When it comes to Apple. I am also using an iPhone for work purposes (This was given to me) and honestly, it works. I don't use it much, but when I use it for it works perfectly.
I have also lately been advicing my parents to just get an iPhone because of their Security and ease of use. Since they just need a phone which works :D

More Length Comment than I thought I would write. Ohh well, hope it gives some perspective on the Debate :D

I kinda want to join in the "debate" :D

Lol, for starters am glad you've joined.

The reason I changed from Samsung to OnePlus was because Samsung was becoming too expensive

yep, this is soo true. In the past apple devices used to cost a lot but these days they are literally making new phones for similar prices.

I don't know why Samsung flagships have suddenly become more expensive but then I think it's gradually pushing people away.

Ye, Samsungs branding is not as strong as Apples, so they can't get away with charging those prices forever, if you ask me. But meh, dno :D

Samsung is very cool until you burst your screen and then you realize that you can’t afford a new screen without selling a leg or arm.

That was how I lost my Samsung Galaxy s4 in 2018.

yh I know samsung screens are expensive but so does a high end apple screen cost. Apart from the expensive screen nothing else is as costly as other apple parts.

This is an interesting fact to note. You are the first Iphone user that I'm hearing him say he will be going back to andriod

My friend I came to spy at your blog as usual and I saw this post of yours, you have already killed it. Maybe I will add one or two to it later ☺️ trust you man.
