What to Expect When You Switch From iPhone to Android

So, you’ve decided to take the plunge and switch to Android: great! Before you make the switch, though, it’s important to learn how the two types of devices are different from one another. Unlike with Apple’s iOS, with Android smartphones you have a lot of different devices to choose from. So many unique designs, in fact, that it can feel overwhelming. You’ll also learn new apps, new designs for your favorite social networking apps, new swipe controls, and seemingly endless options for customizing your device.

Don’t feel discouraged by the adjustment period, though — allow yourself the time to get used to your new device. But as soon as you get your new phone, it’s important to properly protect it from malicious software. Because of the inherent freedom in the Android platform — and greater popularity of Android devices globally — these phones are more susceptible to malware, so it’s important that you scan your device regularly for viruses.

Find the Right Android Smartphone

If you’re a diehard Google fan, consider a Pixel or Nexus. These phones are guaranteed to receive the latest software updates first from Google, and currently run Nougat, the latest version of Android OS. The sleek, intuitive devices may also offer a smoother transition from an iPhone than a Samsung or LG phone.

If a Pixel or Nexus device interests you, consider also looking into Project Fi, which can dramatically reduce phone bills for users of these phones. Project Fi offers unlimited text and talk (nationally and internationally) for $20/month, plus 1 GB of data for $10/month. Other cool features include rollover data and no changes to your phone plan if you travel outside of the US. Not a fan of Google? Consider a powerful Samsung Galaxy S7, S7 Edge, or LG V20.

It’s True: Android Takes Better Photos

Most of us rely on our smartphones for taking photographs. Unfortunately, the latest iPhone models just can’t compare to any of the latest Android models when it comes to taking incredible pictures. If you travel a lot, or update Instagram frequently, then expect to amaze your friends with the incredible photos your new Android smartphone takes.
