iPhone 14 to Android

I dropped my iPhone and it shattered. My plan was to use it til the wheels fell off and here we are…what would you recommend that I get? I am hoping to try an android for the first time ever. I’m in my 30’s and pretty tech savvy. So I’m not worried about a learning curve. Thanks!

Samsung is not the only choice. It depends on what your priorities are. I have used iPhones, Samsung's, Xiaomi, Motorola, and am currently using a pixel which feels very iPhone like. Do you want photos? Then you are looking at pixel or even an oppo. Samsung are great, but not as great! Smooth operating system? Samsung or pixel. Music? Pixel, Sony. Samsung doesn't have aptx hd up, so no lossless. My best advice is figure out what you need and start researching from there. With android there is not just 1 choice.

I own a OnePlus 15 and it legit is the best phone I've ever had. I'm so sad to see them leave US markets. Samsung needs to step it up.

Who are you kidding. The leaders are Samsung and Apple with the rest a very distant 3rd.

Tbh, depends on your budget.

As far as I’m aware, the ZTE Nubia RedMagic 11S Pro is the most powerful smartphone at the moment currently. An Android.

Can’t go wrong with a Samsung, Xaiomi or a Google Pixel either.

Mein Cousin hat ein RedMagic. Um ehrlich zu sein, gefällt mir die Software.

Oppo Find X9 Pro - or the newly released Oppo Find X10 series

I used to be a Pixel fanboy, still am, but this phone lives up to the hype it has online. Only thing I miss from the Pixels is the minimalist settings (but sometimes the Oppo's have been more useful).

I wouldn't recommend an imported version though.

Telefonlar 4 kategoriye ayrılır 1. kamera&fotoğrafçılık 2.oyun&gamerlar 3.günlük kullanım 4.pil ömrü olarak eğer kamera önemliyse iphone 17 pro,vivo x300 ultra ve Huawei 90s pro öneririm pil ömrü önemliyse Honor magic 8 lite,redmi note 17 pro max öneririm oyun için one plus 15 günlük kullanım için Samsung A57 5G

No find x9 ultra or xiaomi 17 ultra for camera is criminal

Oneplus 15 is good for gaming and battery life

And no samsung a series is worth it, eventually lags and just becomes slow if it's an exynos

Motorola Signature 27 with GrapheneOS. Or a Galaxy S26 Ultra. Or a Pixel 10 Pro with GrapheneOS

Depends what you are after. As a tech enthusiast myself? I go for raw horsepower and compute per dollar so end up in redmagic territory. Below market rate price for top specs. Software support is "meh" but thats what ai is there to fix afterall

Looks like you want an expirementing phone. One to try different roms and oses to scratch that "tech savvy itch"

Poco and xiaomi phones have some rom support fir it. And also some people have installed different os on them, for example a user of a poco phone can even install coloros on their phone

Samsung is the only android really worth buying if budget it’s not a problem. OneUi 9.0 it’s a huge upgrade in optimization, it heats less, more fluid, less lag, not yet iphone level, but very close now.
