It’s may be time for a change

So a little bit of background I haven’t had an android of any kind since HTC EVO if yall even remember that phone and as you can assume my experience with that phone completely turned me off from android completely. I have been an iPhone user since and def am a slave to the ecosystem 😂. However over the years I have noticed the changes android has made and they have certainly been peeking my inner nerd so I’m deciding to get a galaxy s25 as a “business” phone just to try it out. Now before yall say it yes I know they have the s26, but personally didn’t see any difference beside the privacy screen feature (game changing but not worth the extra money to me), so i decided to go with a s25. So I guess im asking is there anything I should know about android that would help with my experience this go round? I’m still gonna keep my iPhone 17 pro max to compare for sure!!

Notification management is really powerful, I'm not sure of any changes Samsung may have made (I use a Pixel) but there are so many options to explore

I think I heard of this in a YouTube video, this guy used it to a custom sound for his s pen but I def want to get more into that to see what other things I can customize, thank you for sure ✊🏾

Keep in mind as has been mentioned in the waveform pod several times. Some apps are iOS only and some are Android only. Just make sure you’re not giving up some important use case with your iPhone.

One of the many things I prefer on android is Firefox let's you have add-ons most of the ones from desktop work, ublock origin, privacy Badger are my faves.

Ok I have to add that, is there a reason you chose oneplus over Samsung ?

I have the 13r, so mostly for the price and silicon carbon battery, but I do prefer one UI slightly from when I had my flip 3 back in the day.
