Best Android phone from iPhone
Best Android phone from iPhone
I’ve been using iPhone 14 Pro Max for a year which my company gave me. But it has disadvantages more than advantages for me. I want to change it with an Android phone that bootloader unlockable. I want to install Google-free ROM.
A little note, I don’t like S23 Ultra in particular because I really don’t like its frame.
The Pixel 8 Pro is likely the best. You can flash graphine or pretty much any rom. Samsung really doesn't have custom roms anymore. If you get a pixel buy it from the Google Store
They don’t sell Pixel officially in my country. Is there a particular reason for buying from Google store except cheaper price? Like legitimation.
Also take a look at the Pixel 8. In my opinion the 300 euro premium for the 8 pro is not worth:
- 12GB ram instead of 8
- A temperature sensor
- Telelens
If you realy prefer a bigger phone, go for it. But I think the Pixel 8 is a better deal if you want to go for a custom rom like GrapheneOS, because you mostly pay for extra software features with the pro, that you can't use with a custom rom.
You are absolutely right! I even prefer smaller phone. They didn't make the camera of the bigger version better like Apple. Thanks.
Would get a Fairphone or Pixel
Pixel is the only way to go. Run Graphene, maintain verified boot, and have the advantages of Google without them having power over you. Only phone and OS that'll give you that option.
If you want to have something that is similiar in haptics and feeling, maybe the Nothing Phone 1 is worth a look.
Personally, I would go for a Fairphone 4 because of repairability nowadays, but I’m okay with my iPhone 14 Pro at the moment. Will switch to android for the next phone though.

Would second the Pixel 8 Pro for you, since (ironically) it is the best phone install a Google-free ROM onto.
