3. Part 1. Should I Switch from iPhone to Google Pixel? Google Pixel is an Android smartphone brand launched by Google in 2016 to replace the Nexus. The latest Google Pixel 5 has been released in October this year and many Apple fans are considering switching from iPhone to Google Pixel. Recently, I moved from iPhone to Google Pixel 5 after being an Apple fan for 5 years, then I experienced my Pixel for half a month. Compared with my increasingly sloppy-feeling iPhone 8, Google Pixel 5 runs smoothly without getting stuck or loading slow. Then, here comes the question: Is moving from iPhone to Pixel really worth it? Here are some cold hard truths for your reference. 1. Switching from iPhone to Pixel is not as bad as what you think Before I made the purchase, one of my friends warned me that Android phones run slower than iPhone and may get stuck when I play games. During the nervous waiting period, I hesitated for a moment about returning the phone. Soon, I received Google Pixel phone. After I experienced all features, especially online games, for a couple of weeks, I find everything proceeds naturally and happily.

4. 2. Customization If you do not customize your Google Pixel, the user experience is identical to that of an iPhone, let alone the same grid layout with round icons in bright colors. Besides, Besides, as Android's open-source platform allows developers to create apps that can do much more, there is a vast capacity for customization on Google Pixel. 3. Privacy and security Honestly speaking, using iPhone never got me on the virus scare, but when I surf the internet on this Android device, I always have to exit out the page which labels as insecure when I accidentally click on some links. In addition, Apple strengthens the security performance on iOS devices, it turns out that less than 4% of hackers target on iOS users, while more than 80% target on Android users, according to the statistics. In other words, Android's open-source platform is more easily hacked than iOS devices. Anyway, note that we are not asserting that Google Pixel phones or Android phones are not secure.

5. 4. Battery life and power adaptor Suppose that you are on an isolated island that has no Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and charger. As expected, you can get a full two days of battery life. However, iPhone never lasts so long. What's more, you can get a power adaptor inside the box when you receive your Google Pixel; at the same time, you may notice that iPhone 12 will no longer provide that for you, which means you will have to buy it if the old adaptor is broken. 5. Unlimited cloud storage for photos Google Photos enables you to store unlimited photos to Google cloud with high quality and up to 15GB to your account each day, while iCloud does not offer the same service.

6. In addition to the above aspects, Google Pixel has other advantages over iPhone as well, for example, Google improved nighttime shots with Night Sight on Pixel 3 and later, Apple added the Night mode on iPhone 11. Anyway, I think Google Pixel feels much better, friendly and economical than iPhone to me at this moment, and I am considering buying Android devices for my father.
