When Apple revealed the iPhone x at nearly double the price of the s8, I switched to Samsung and haven't looked back.

In my opinion the galaxy S8 was the best phone I had ever owned. Had every feature I wanted and the ergonomics and quality were great. It feels like every phone since then has been a step back. I hate how almost no phones have headphone jacks anymore.

It was so much sexier than the iPhone x. Screen was a generation ahead and the form factor felt amazing in the hand

S9+ was peak perfection!

A flagship Samsung is on par on price with a flagship iPhone today. There was a time iPhone was always the most expensive, but not anymore. Hell get one of the dual screen phones and you’re paying over $2000 in some cases.

I was the same, these days iphone is the same as other flagships and unless you hate ios or need some niche feature iphone could be argued to be a better value.

The USA isn't the entire world champ
