Changing to google pixel from iPhone

Would I be making a stupid mistake?

I have an iPhone 11- it doesn't have enough storage and I'm just fed up with it.

I've been looking at the pixel 9 and with trade in I can get it for £650 which seems a good deal!

I used to be an iPhone girlie and switched to a Google pixel 2 whenever that came out because I liked the fingerprint sensor on the back and I have never looked back, it's brilliant. I am on Google Pixel 9 Pro now and that has 500gb of storage.

I was an Apple fan, then switched to Pixel and much prefer it. I initally switched to Samsung but hated the bloatware on it, and sold it quickly. Got a Pixel and wouldn't switch back. I prefer the camera on my Pixel, the google storage is excellent and it just works. I'd like a Pixel 9 pro but am waiting for them to appear on Backmarket as I refuse to pay full price! My DH, DD2 and DS2 have also now switched to Pixels!

Nah, Samsung is better. Their amoled displays are a thing of beauty and I've never had a better camera. I have some cracking photos from my Samsungs.
The 'bloatwear' isn't a problem, just hide the apps and ignore the things you don't want to use.

DH switched to a Pixel a few years back from iPhone. He prefers it and didn't have a problem getting used to it. He is not particularly techie (being kind here)!

Love my pixel. Camera is way better than iPhone as far as I can tell.

I have an iPhone for work and a personal Pixel. Hate the iPhone, love my Pixel (have had one for a number of iterations).

Android is vastly superior imo but I think it mostly depends on what you're used to.

I'm in exactly the same situation. I probably haven't spent enough time with the iPhone and it just annoys me when I can't find something. I've got Mumsnet on both and I'm on my pixel now.

I wouldn’t say they’re better photos than an iPhone could take. I have a 12 Pro Max and here is one I have taken recently.

Sorry for the double photo 😂. It’s hard to find a photo that is non-identifying.

My iPhone 15PM has plenty of storage, over 500gb, you can get 1t storage so they are not low, that should be plenty.
