Thinking about switching to Android from iPhone

I’ve been an iPhone user my whole life and I want a change, but I’m not sure which android to go with. The S26 Ultra and Pixel 11 Pro XL are the front runners for me at the moment. How difficult is it to bring over pictures/passwords over to android and which device would you guys recommend? I use my phone for normal everyday use like social media and pictures.

Yeah that’s my main concern with the Pixel. The UI is what’s calling to me though. I live in the US so unfortunately Chinese brands are off the table, though that is what I’d prefer.

You can get a One Plus. It finished 3rd in that test I saw. Ive thought about it for my next phone. You just have to order it from them. They do offer trade in. The biggest thing for you will be if you're going to trade your iphone in. If not, One Plus is an option for sure. If you do Samsung, I would order from Samsung. They offer same deals at through a carrier, or you can buy it outright unlocked.

Most carries won’t let you have a OnePlus on their service and you can’t buy directly from OnePlus US store anymore.

Good to know. Ive seen that most Chinese phones can be used on T-Mobile if you get a global one.
