So I've been using my #Sansung #Galaxy S23 for a bit over a month now. If not as my daily driver, then at least daily. I really didn't feel like paying $20 to transfer my eSim back and forth.
My thoughts?
Android's talkback is much better than I remember. I like running some apps in the background that I wasn't able to use on iOS. The battery life currently puts my iPhone to shame, though that's probably as I haven't actually used many heavier apps nearly as much.
However, the loss of Gentler Streak, among a few other things, would keep me from using this phone as my primary. I love the app and it's only available on iOS, unfortunately. Plus, as good as Talkback actually is, it still lags behind voiceover in terms of intuitiveness, especially for new users. -

As for gentler streak, I could never quite get the hang of what it wanted.

@Mendi_Tech What it wanted, in what sense?

@JesseF8693 It's data just didn't make sense to me. I guessz if I actually worked out on the regular it might make more, but I'm not sure.

@Mendi_Tech The data? Or its methods for keeping track of it?

@JesseF8693 I think the methods were what confused me.

@Mendi_Tech At the core of Gentler Streak is your activity path. Essentially, the app is continually recalculating how active you should be to improve your fitness. It represents that visually as your "activity path." If you work out one day, your level of activity will rise, and that information is presented to you in relation to the app's recommended path. If you rest, or do another workout the next day, that information is used to update where your activity level is in relation to your path. Idealy, you want to stay as close to "optimal" as possible.

It has gotten better over the years. First android phone I owned was the s10. Then I had the s22 for a while and now I currently have the s25 ultra.

@jarjarbinks2002 The one thing that amuses me is how you can raise voices to over 300% of their speech rate and doing so doesn't sound that much different from 100%.
That said, Google's voices suck so much. Samgsung's voices are... a little better.
