that would have been true in the earlier years of Android.

build quality? not really.
in the end, What's his face did a great job on promoting the product and made it seem like the only great product of choice atleast in the early years of it. nowadays, people don't really care that much anymore. the hype surrounding iPhones has sailed.

Got dirt and oil on my galaxy S20 yesterday while working on a friend's car. Decided to had wash with soap and water it but did not submerge it. Just rinsed it off with tap water. The phone works but now the screen is black. Put it in rice for 12 hours and it didn't do anything. WTF

Even if the screen doesnt work, can you plug it into a PC and "see" what is on it / drag the files and pics over?

Unfortunately that is not the case. The pc recognizes it as a drive but doesn’t open it.
This was the case even when the screen was working. There was always a pop up on the phone that would have me confirm if I wanted to move files

Day two of using a “pro” iPhone. Phone is so trash. Apps don’t stay on the same page where you left off when you switch to another app. Screen feels plasticky when you are typing. Samsung screen was hard like glass (pause)
Grouped tabs in the web browser doesn’t exist
Keyboard and autocorrect are bad
Absolute trash at multitasking. How are these phones popular? It’s like I went back backwards. I don’t get the hype

for some reason Google Maps isnt the same on the iphone/android platform...
i find maps harder to use and more glitchy on my samsung as opposed to my work phone (iphone)...
i thought i may need an update but the app says it was last updated on 4/21

Yeah dropped my phone in the tub few years back and the same thing happened. Was probably the soap.

it could be a combination of suds and water that hasn't evaporated internally. water in a tight space doesn't evaporate that easily and could also corrode some internal parts. battery terminal being wet also affects the phone.

How so? Was using google maps to commute today and it’s the same experience on android.
Waze is worse on iOS. We have speed cameras here. I force closed the app and it didn’t give me an audible warning when I reopened it. Android gave me audibles even after I force closed it

Picked up a new S23 from best Buy for $200 today. Most likely my new daily and use it as a trade in in the future. Was playing with the fold 5. Definitely want a foldable as my next phone.

And finger print is better than Face ID. I was laying down last night in a pitch black room and Face ID was not working

text/color/graphics are different...theres also alot more stuff on the screen w the android that doesnt seem helpful...but most of all i feel like the android version can be kinda glitchy...the blue line wouldnt show up on my route this morning...
im going to play around w the maps settings and see if i can change it around...but just using the application without messing around it definately is easier to use/view on the iphone

You on a carrier phone or unlocked?

both phones (work/iphone and personal/fold) are same carrier (verizon)

Carrier phones with their bloatware don’t offer the same experience as unlocked phones IMO
Unlocked would be the best comparison to an iPhone

Gotten used to iOS. It’s not bad just that android has that extra horsepower with more capabilities. It’s gotten better since the last time I used it back in 2019
Using google apps like gmail, maps, photos, calendar, keep etc has made it easier to switch back and forth with android. Adding my phone contacts from google made it painless. I don’t use the apple apps because it locks you in to apple and makes it hard to switch to android when you want to.
Copy and paste is much better on android

Ok guys. I'm coming back to android after 2 years on this crappy iphone. What's hot in the streets when it comes to build quality and camera? My last droid was a pixel 2 and before that note 6 edge. I also want water resistance so I can submerge my phone like I did my note and pixel. Last year I was in Mexico and had this dope video idea, submerged my iphone 13 in water and it shut off 
And thats when I realized crappy iphone isnt water resistant

Any flagship Samsung is valid.
Google has been copying Samsung and adding it to stock android. For example secure folder and dex, which Samsung has had for years, are coming to pixel phones
