Considering a move back from iOS to Android

Hi all,

I'm considering selling up my iPhone 6 and getting something a little bigger, I was very close to pulling the trigger on a 6 Plus, but think its time to try Andoid again (My last experience was the S3)

As I said, I want a large phone, so as such I've been looking primarily at the Nexus 6 or Note 4 (Possibly the Note Edge, but not sure), although the idea to try the OPO is still there too...

Any advice regarding these handsets? Which one would you pick? The Note seems to be highly praised, but I never really liked TouchWiz on my S3 (rooted it basically as soon as I could), and I dont know how much I would typically use the S Pen

Only recently heard about it, but the Asus Zenfone 2 looks like an interesting option - same screen size as the OPO I believe.

It's not in the 'premium' price bracket (that term is ridiculous anyway), but it looks pretty damn powerful.

If you're interested I'll swap my OPO

Note 4 tbh

I think I'm leaning away from the Note 4, to be honest; my last 4 phones have all been Samsung or Apple so perhaps its time for a fresh approach!

Nice to see a thread about someone wanting to move from iOS to Android that isn't full of "why?" and "you will regret it".

No doubt having an iPhone 6, you will appreciate how good the camera is. I personally moved from an OPO to an iPhone 6 in December and the difference between the quality of shots taken is night and day in favour of the iPhone. If mobile photography isn't your thing then the OPO is a great "bang for your buck" option. I loved mine (pre-Lollipop) and i always recommend it to people on a budget. If money is no object then i'd be looking at the LG G4 or S6 Edge based on experience and reviews.

Xiaomi mi note pro, really good specs, good price and looks pretty nice.

Used to have a S3. Hated TW the moment I saw it and rooted asap. Eventually replaced it with an Oppo Find 5 and moved to the Note 4 upon release. TW on the latter is way less intrusive and bloaty and all in all I think it is a brilliant phone. Yes you do need to ask yourself about the S-Pen though.
