You can include your phone specific model if you want.

I just got a Samsung Galaxy S23, switching from an iPhone 11, because I kinda fear that Apple might turn evil and start banning apps from the app store. I mean I knew about how restrictive iOS was but I kinda just justified it by the increased security that I perceived it to be. But recent events made me realize a corporation can turn from mildly annoying to full-on evil very quickly. With Android, I have the option of avoiding the Google Play Store if they start to do weird things with it. So that’s my story, what about you?

    Google pixel for the following reasons:

    Smart insights via Google assistant:

    1. Bill due soon reminders via Google assistant. It can read my email and remind me of upcoming bills, their amount, who it’s too, and when it’s due. Sends a notification to the phone.

    2. Finance watchlist notification: at the end of each market day it will send me a notification just showing me how my watchlist performed for the day

    Phone:

    1. Call screening, business calls, spam, and robo

    2. Hold for me feature.

    3. Phone trees visual

    4. Visual voicemail - live transcripts

    Google translate:

    1. Live translation of audio

    2. Translate any sign or text via Google lens

    3. Search visually via Google lens

    Customization

    1. Theme settings independent of device. You can set each app individually. Some apps are better in light mode

    Google assistant integration in the phone. Call and text people, reduce volume, paused audio, set volume, google search, turn on flash light etc. You can control features of your phone with your voice. It’s fantastic.

    It’s a really smart, smart phone.
