I had the Galaxy S II, as I stated in the post. If that is low end then every android phone is low end. And I 100% doubt that you can open and close and jump around multiple apps faster on your phone than you could on an iPhone. Atleast that is what I found when I switched phones. And having options does not mean anything if it really does nothing to make the phone better but compromises some of the most important things like battery life and speed. Apple obviously knew this and decided it makes way more sense to ensure that they focus on what is most important and not waste resources on pointless options for people to tinker around with just to give them something to do. 

S2 is definitely a great phone at the time. But it is the reason I chose my Nexus. No OEM changes and bloat. However, tweaking settings and removing unnecessary notifications would have sped it up and made battery life improvements. That's part of knowing your device really. Something I also do when I install things on my PC. Also something greatly improved with Android 4.x, a version your S2 was not running.

Finally, having options is always better. You just have to look for the options that fit your and your use case. Of course, that could just mean iOS is your best fit.


It was a good phone. Until the battery stopped holding a charge after 13 months. I still wanted an Android phone but didn't trust any of the hardware manufacturer's to make a quality built phone. So I reluctantly bought an iPhone, only then did I realize how much the phone was better without all those pointless customizations and focused on simplicity and doing what it was supposed to do.
