With the rise of apps however, switching didn’t feel much of a gamble.
I use my smartphone a lot but I’m not a frequent upgrader.
Up until recently I had only used Android for minutes at a time and never as my daily driver.
Read on for my experiences thus far.
The first one was battery life and fast charging.
Other than that I had no major gripes with the iPhone’s software or anything performance related.
So off I went with my new Google Nexus 6P.
Coming from the 4.0-inch iPhone 5s it’s taken me a while to adjust to the plus-sized 6P.
The fingerprint reader, which has become an essential feature for me, is also extremely fast and accurate.
It’s a minor annoyance.

The Android Experience
Switching smartphone platforms shouldn’t be too complicated.
This may or may not be important to you depending on how you search.
This is something that Apple plans to address with the next version of iOS this fall.
Where Android wins hands down is in the way it displays notifications and lets you interact with them.
This has been one of my favorite things about switching to Android.
It makes things feel less cluttered.
I don’t care much about visual customizations but I do like being able to tweak the user experience.
And different apps handle these gestures and interactions in different ways which can be a bit confusing.
So, would I recommend Android to long time iPhone users?
Apple is very good at locking you into their platform, however.
