Question

Switching from IOS to Android! Need help finding a new phone

Jul 12, 2017 11:28AM PDT

Hello everyone! For 2 years now, I've been using an iPhone 5s. The phone is very good, very comfortable and easy to use, but it lacks some important stuff for me. I have seen the solutions on Android phones, so I decided to switch. I am writing this thread because i need help to choose a phone.
1. The iPhone doesn't have an SD card slot. My iPhone has a 16 GB of memory, and it is not enough for me at all. I need a lot of memory to store music, photos, videos, documents and more. So a big priority for me would me a phone with a big storage which will not slow down the phone significantly.

2. The ability to download stuff. When i had my old Samsung galaxy 2, i could download any music or videos from the browser. With the iPhone, i feel enclosed and unable to use it as i intended to. So what i need is a phone with a good WiFi adapter.

3. Powerful phone. Most of the time, when i browse on the internet, the iPhone tends to stuck and slow down. I need the phone to work smoothly when browsing.

Additional stuff:
• I don't play games on the phone, so i don't care about how good the game looks or how smooth the games work.
• standard camera and display. Not too cheap and not too expensive.

That is it for now. I hope you can find something to fit my standards.

Thank you very much in advance

One of my inside tips about shopping is checking the Amazon Best Sellers. There's a lot of reasons items get into the top 10 or #1.
