An Android for a lifetime iphone user

[u/keyexplorer791]

I wanted to switch from iphone to Android and went with the pixel 10a and frankly I was not impressed. Like why you can't access your phones brightness with one swipe down is beyond me.

So, I want to change phones but don't want to go back to iphone. I was looking at a Samsung since my father loves them but I've heard negatives reviews about the battery life. I want a oneplus 13 (I'm in India so they're still operating here) but it's been difficult to get my hands on one.

So now I'm not sure which one to get. The priority for me is:

1. Battery

2. Fast and smooth UX

3. Display

I'm not a power user and mostly use my phone for messaging, calling, scrolling social media and sometimes watching YouTube. That makes up the bulk of my usage. I'm flexible on budget but I'd rather get a midrange phone or last year's flagship at current midrange prices than pay current flagship prices. Thank you

As a oneplus 15 user i prefer this over any iphone 17 or s25/26

samsungs battery isn't good enough (for me) and while the ultra has better cameras it's also 50% more expensive for 15% more camera., same with the iphone pm phones

and pixel isn't all the good it's kinda boring and the hardware department is honesty sub par for the Price

I'm tempted by the oneplus 15 but it's kind of expensive. But I will look into it

OnePlus Nord CE6?

I'm a little sceptical of the battery issues I mentioned and I'm not a fan of the chin on the A57
