After few months using Android on a Galaxy S10, I feel like I'm in a pretty good position to compare it with iOS. I have not used an Android phone other than an S10 so my experience is limited.

I will not accept "Pixel is better!", Google phones are still such a small percentage and not how a majority of people experience Android. Here are my complaints:

- Notifications enabled for apps by default - Battery draining. I have literally never had to worry about battery management with iOS. - Battery optimization. Spotify kept being killed while I was driving. Turns out it's because the battery algo decided that I did not want it?

- Chromecast discovery is somehow even worse than iOS. It takes much longer for devices to appear and connecting is even more flakey. - Constant nags to restart my phone to retain "good performance and user experience"

- Google Apps are worse. Google Maps on Android seems to get all the bad experiments. I have a survey nag at the bottom of my navigation screen at all time. I am asked questions constantly with distracting prompts while driving.

- Share screen is terrible. I have to scroll down to find "Copy to Clipboard". It's never at the top despite it being what I use 90% of the time. Once there was two "Copy to Clipboard" buttons. Except one would make the app crash. Crash Roulette.

- I hate notification prioritization. Give me chronological notifications please. - Installing apps feels dodgy. I have to pick between the Play Store and the Galaxy Store. I feel terrified installing financial apps.

- Broad permissions. Apps constantly asking to access all of my storage and location (indefinitely I guess?). - Fingerprint ID in apps is gross. The UI seems to be specific to the app implementing it.
