Great thread btw.
I've been an iOS user since the 3GS days, and tried Android devices every so often in the form of the Nexus 7 tablet, and the Nexus 6P. I just sorta get bored with iOS every so often. Either way, I hated the Nexus 7, but the 6P was really good aside from the extremely slow camera, which is why I returned. I've always found Android to be decent, just that the hardware has lacked sometimes in quality, and the tons of options in the OS can get overwhelming.
As I say, I tend to pick up an Android device every so often, and this is one of those times where I'm feeling the urge to try it again. I know I probably shouldn't, but I'm thinking of getting one as a secondary/tinkering phone, as my main phone is an 8 Plus. Sorta wanting an S8, but it lacks some hardware I'd like, such as stereo speakers, and I'd probably prefer stock android vs Samsung's skin even tho a different launcher can be used. Think a pixel 2 would be perfect but don't want to pay that much for a secondary phone. Ahhh the temptations...
