iPhone X and Android, who is carrying both?

[Speedygi]

No, there are members who carry multiple smartphones. Although I have both an iPhone X and an iPhone 8, I only use the iPhone C as my daily driver. My iPhone 8 is used with my drone......As for an Android device, I haven’t used one of them in about 8 years or more.

You mean you are still using a IPhone 5c? hahaha

Typos get me every time.....(laughing)

I am not able to search my bookmark in Chrome browser in iPhone which is a great disadvantage.

iMessages only come to the iPhone. You either have to turn iMessage off or not care if they come to the android phone. I personally dont care since I use the iPhone primarily and leave the Note in the car. I really only use the Note for Android Auto at this point.

I had the note before last, the one with the battery issue, and loved it. However since I came from iOS I lost a ton of messages from iPhone friends, even though I had turned it off. Especially group messages when I was the only one on Android, I missed all of those. Has it gotten better to turn it on and off? I still want that note, think I may get a used one just as a toy. Or I may get one of their tablets, those Samsung screens are beautiful.

Truthfully I never had any issues going from ios to android with messages. I know alot of people have but Im not sure what causes it.

The Note 7 was probably the best designed version of the Note or any other phone in quite a while. The 8 is good but imo not nearly as comfortable as the 7.

Group messaging can still be a pain when switching, but it’s much better for general sms. For some reason it works better when I disable FaceTime before iMessage. I still sometimes have issues if I disable imessage then FaceTime before switching.

Cant speak about iPhone X, although a lot of people i work with do use the X. I carry a 7+ as my personal, and for work i currently have a 6S. I wanted to get an Android for work but we use Office 365 and the general experience with my work function and Android is very laggy, and has processing information issues. I am sure the issue is not specific to Android but moreso a problem with my company not knowing what theyre doing.

Being an Android fan for 3 years i jumped ship last year for a 7+, iOS just has been phone that "just works". My list of Androids in that 3 year period include Nexus 5, S6, G3, G4 and 6P...all had a slew of problems that drove me insane. My best experience was the 6P for its first 8 months until it started acting up (i think with release of 7.0/7.1). After all those problems i had, and the fact iOS has generally been very good to me (some very minor bugs), its hard for me to consider spending any money on an Android. I am sure the new Pixel phones are amazing overall but i have doubts biting the bullet. Plus my wife and all friends have iPhones, so iMessage just locks the deal.

what do i miss from Android? Google Assistant at OS level, Siri is very poor and doesnt fill the gap at all. And i miss my heptic feedback typing on keyboard. Otherwise, iOS does everything else fantastic.

 

[tr1ad]

I’d agree with you on the assistant level with google vs Siri

Currently I'm rocking both a Pixel 2 XL and an iPhone X.

You're doing what to your phones?

That's the same combo I have except I have the smaller Pixel 2

Which phone do you use more and why? I have an X and getting a pixel 2 but will only keep one!

 

[craigrn16]

Hmmm , I rotate really. It's on my mood. I guess the iPhone X slightly more because I group chat with coworkers who use iMessage but if I'm going out for an event I carry the Pixel 2 because I like the pictures that takes better. Both have great speakers and are smooth. Android as and operating system I would say is more "fun" as it gives you more freedom but some apps like Snap chat or Facebook run a little smoother on IOS. Lol I hope that helps

Haha no! You told me what I already know I want the pixel 2 because the camera is insane. I've bought 3 pixel 2 XLs and now I'm on going on my 2nd pixel 2. I end up getting them and just reselling them because I miss iMessage and FaceTime on iOS. Other than that, I don't miss much on my iPhone. I don't get how you juggle between both so frequently, doesn't it get annoying shutting iMessage off and on constantly?

Yeah, it sure does but I can't just leave either behind. If Apple opened up iMessage and FaceTime to Android I'd definitely leave apple behind. A guy on this forum gave me a solution called "digits" that's on T-Mobile. It's one number for both phones. I have to go look into it when I get a chance. See if that may be a solution for you

Exactly why they’re not likely to ever do that.

I have at&t. I mean the X has a beautiful edge to edge OLED display. The pixel 2 has yucky bezels although the 2XL is too large for me and the blue shift on the screen is unacceptable to me. I miss having the freedom I had on Android, but can't shake this cult I got into with Apple ha. Once your lured in, good luck escaping. Like you said, you can't decide on one...neither can I but I also can't afford to own two phones.

Well if you already have an X I'd hold on to that until at least around October when the Pixel 3 comes out. The smaller variant is supposed to have greatly reduced bezels. We will see what other improvements they do with the phone and Android. Android P seems pretty good so far. So that's what I'd do in your position. Keep your iPhone X and see what the next Pixel brings

Yeah the pixel 3 looks a lot better with the smaller bezels. I know once that comes out I will most likely get it, so I figured I might as well just start using Android now on a pixel 2. Just having so issues haha. I can't figure out how to break away from iOS and not return within a couple of days! Thanks for your input, I like hearing thoughts from others

 

[LCW]

I broke away from iOS by selling my X. Lol

 

[popkurn611]

Haha that is the only way I will break away too, but I can not for the life of me get rid of this phone
