I was on android for the longest time but I got tired of Samsung’s crap, the horrible way version upgrades are handled (or not handled), etc.
Yeah, I don't understand why Samsungs are the most popular Android phones.
Like, I get that they have good hardware, but their software is annoying as hell.
I disliked Samsung devices' software even more than I disliked iOS. Neither of them hold a candle to the Pixel experience.
I switched from Pixel to Samsung and found it much nicer personally.
I'm about to make this jump with my next phone. I've had 3 different Pixels now and they've all had terrible battery life and honestly just seem like mediocre phones.
You think the popularity in the US is because you had a bad experience with upgrades?
No i was merely stating a few personal reasons. I’m sure there are hundreds if not thousands of factors to explain why iPhones are more popular
Surely yes. I was intrigued into the regional differences. Surely the technical differences are similar in each region, however I find it really interesting that the US is an outlier in the stats.
