Description:
Tell me whether I should abandon my iPhone for a return to Android. Or not.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Ive been an iPhone user for some four years after making the swap from
Android to iPhone in 2021. This was motivated by work, as I wanted to see if
a long-time Android fan could embrace iOS.

Verily, I did. And to such an extent that Ive written quite a lot about how Ive yet to return to Android phones . This is in spite of some of the best Android phones arguably being more interesting and feature-packed than the best iPhones .

Yet Ive now reached a bit of a metaphorical crossroad where Im considering moving back to Android. A recent run-in with iOS 26 on my iPhone 16 Pro Max has sown this mindseed, and Im on the verge of acting upon it, not least of all as theres a fetching Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra sitting on my desk.

While I want to flirt with a move from a Pro iPhone to the iPhone 17 , to see if the upgrades to the standard Apple phone can suit my needs almost as well as the Pro models, Im getting a feeling in my not-insubstantial gut that a return to Android is in my near future.

But I need help, specifically from you, dear TechRadar readers. I want you to use the poll below to tell me if you think I should move back to Android,
with the understanding that Ill then write about my experience of such a
move.

And then Id be keen for you to pop down to the comments and tell me why I should consider such a move and what phones youd recommend I try out; by that I mean actually put my SIM in and use it as my main phone.

For what its worth, I'd likely consider moving to the aforementioned Galaxy S25 Ultra, though were sure to see the rumored Galaxy S26 family pop up early next year.

Id also like to take the likes of a Google Pixel 10 Pro for a spin, as Ive long been a fan of Pixel phones.

But if its not going to be a huge fuss to keep various multi-platform apps
all synced up, then Im open to trying Android phones from other brands. I
used to use flagship Oppo and OnePlus phones, so theres definitely some curiosity there.

One things for sure, I doubt Ill be lacking in choice.
