Have a point & shoot compact camera and don't even use that anymore. Having a good camera phone is a must-have for me.

I want to get more into health/sleep tracking but most smart watches are a pain with the battery life. So I am looking at Withings and they have some great kit with a new smart watch due to be released soon.
I only use my Apple Watch for notifications mainly which just makes me look at my phone.
I could swap my iPhone 11 Pro Max 256Gb, Series 4 Stainless Apple Watch and AirPods Pro for the following:
Samsung S20 Ultra 512Gb
Samsung LED cover
Sony WF-1000MX3 Wireless Buds
Withings Smart Scan Watch https://www.withings.com/uk/en/scanwatch
Plus these extras look good...
Withings Scales https://www.withings.com/uk/en/body-cardio
Withings Blood Pressure Monitor https://www.withings.com/uk/en/blood-pressure-monitors
Withings Sleep Mat https://www.withings.com/uk/en/sleep

What do you want tracked as some simple watches do all most need, I have used a few Xiaomi products, mi band 3 and amazfit gtr, really good not expensive and battery lasts a month because it doesn't have phone internals
MI Scale is quite good too, again quite cheap.

Thinking the same after watching that video but there are a few things keeping me with an iPhone, they are:
Swipe from left to right to go back a page, tap the top of the screen to scroll up, iPhone emoji’s are far superior on iOS and Android can never get the keyboard clicks the same.
If Android phones adopted those, I wouldn’t use an iPhone again.

That's and being able to just type a word in the search bar to search a page for it. I've left iOS but these simple things I miss.
Blows you can't have lowery hardware spec but top camera
One of the navigation methods samsung offer is a swipe up from the bottom right of the screen to go back. In my opinion it makes one handed operation much easier than on the iphone I had previously.
I have been an android man most of my life and I love android. However I was able to get a cheap Iphone 11 Pro max and now finding it hard to give up live photos.
" The way Live Photos works is to capture a MOV video file every time you snap a photo with your iPhone. The MOV file includes three seconds of video and sound, so when viewed on a supported device, the image seems to come to life "
I have 2 young kids and have captured some amazing moments. I am torn as it would be nice to try the ultra but then there would be no more live photos. That and the fact some apps on the IOS would never crash compared to the same android apps which would sometimes malfunction.
Maybe I should buy the ultra as 2nd phone ? Decisions decisions.

The Mi Note 10 has the same sensor and low hardware spec. However that same low hardware spec causes lagging etc. The newer faster mi 10 Pro fixes this. ( its confusing as the Mi note 10 is inferior to the new Mi 10 Pro and we normally think of note as bigger and faster )
Ohhh thank you !! I may have to try the ultra out then
- just did a quick read and its on the samsung phones - was on a p30 pro before so didn't realise.
Is this feature not baked into Android 10. Or have I misunderstood the point?

What IOS users seem to forget anything you can do on IOS you can do more on Android. Android is so open to customising your experience, The number of browsers alone for example.
Why can’t you tap the top of the screen to scroll up? Why can’t you hit the space bar twice to auto full stop? Unless you can and it’s been a hidden feature in the settings all these years?
You can with swiftkey which highlights one of the beauties of Android - if something isn't to your taste chances are there's an app that is.
I don’t want apps to be able to do basic stuff like that, it should be available as standard.

That will be browser and keyboard settings
Swiftkey keyboard lets you double tab space for a full stop. I use that
Has for browser scroll up by tap from what I can see Google Chrome doesn't support that.
Again doesn't mean Android doesn't support what you asking it's just you need to find the application for your needs. The possibilities with Android are endless.
