[QUOTE="goodjohnjr, post: 1028250, member: 73546"] Thank you for sharing that Oerlink, we seem to care about the same things pretty much when it comes to phones, out of those three, my family & I have had all except an iPhone. I will probably get my family & I iPhones once our unlocked OnePlus Nord N200 5G Android phones no longer get security updates (which will likely be the end of this year). [B]Windows Phone[/B] Our first smartphone was the unlocked Nokia Lumia 635 (512 MB RAM edition) with Windows Phone 8.1, it was supposed to get the Windows 10 Mobile upgrade, but Microsoft decided against their own update policy at the last minute because of the low RAM of that version; and they decided to not provide an operating system update for our phones. Other than that, we liked that phone, they are still working until this day, we do not use them much, but we do turn them on sometimes when someone we know needs a spare phone temporarily. Our problem with that phone was the lack of apps & the quality of apps, and Microsoft changing their plans on updating the operating system & then abandoning their phones. A feature that we still miss until this day was: the ability to have Microsoft Cortana automatically announce who is calling or texting & ask you if you want the message read out loud & if you want to respond with Cortana responding with your message hands-free. [B]Android[/B] Our second smartphone was the unlocked Motorola Moto G7 Play and our third & current smartphone is the OnePlus Nord N200 5G. We liked the Motorola Moto G7 Play better overall, the OnePlus Nord N200 5G is better in some ways like reception, but it is buggier & missing some features & maybe a little too big. I hate the scattered approach of the Android ecosystem where all the phones that we have had only got 1 operating system update compared to iPhones 5 or more years, and different brands change their settings & defaults & add bloatware & spyware to their phones. There are some things that we like about Android compared to Windows Phone, like the amount of apps et cetera, other than a few more things, we liked Windows Phone / Windows Mobile better. So we will likely be moving to iPhone to see how it goes next year or when our security updates stop, I will probably get the cheapest new iPhone, when the time comes. [/QUOTE]
