DefaultI'm an iPhone user, convince me to get an Android
I'm an iPhone user and am seriously considering getting an Android for my next phone. I mean, I'm satisfied with the iPhone but want to consider all my options.

I don't ask much of my smartphone, what I look for more than anything is a fast web browser, which my iPhone was consistently good at. Besides that, I just want something reliable, with a fast UI. Again, my iPhone was great at that. But with my iPhone 4 getting up there in age, I'm starting to consider getting a new phone. Just wanted to consider Android and see what you all thought. Trying to think of reasons to switch to an Android...

I mean, maybe I'd be better off with the iPhone. Customization doesn't matter to me and I've been with Apple since the first iPhone, before it was really a big thing. Never really had a reason to change, but I am considering the Nexus 4.

Wow, never thought I'd ever hear someone on an Android forum say that. Thanks! I might do that.

That's far from true for all Android phones. Mine outpaces an iPhone 4s on browsing quite easily.

OP, what carrier are you on? The new Nexus isn't out yet, and no doubt it will be a beast, but models vary by carriers and we may be able to recommend other choices to look into as well.

If you don't demand much from your smartphone, why pay for the upgrade?

The reason I stick with android is how well it interacts with all the various google products I use. Syncing between chrome on my desktop, laptop, and phone is easy. I have all my documents anywhere I need them via google drive, I sync up all my appointments over all my devices via google calendar, and I have the full google maps experience.

Besides that, I was able to get what is arguably one of the best phones out for $350 contract free. Try that with an iPhone.

Three reasons to switch to Android:

1) Choice: there is only one iPhone model available to you. There are hundreds of Android models, and dozens of screen sizes to choose from.
2) Choice: with an iPhone you can choose between very expensive and ridiculously expensive. With Android you can choose to spend from 50 bucks to 500 bucks for a fully operational smartphone that does everything you want.
3) Choice: with an iPhone you are limited to what Apple allows you to do in their closed 'walled garden' as opposed to the completely open nature of the Android eco system.

But since you're happy with what your current iPhone does for you I would save myself a couple hundred bucks and stay with this 'old' iPhone for another year or so. Yes, Androids can do much more than what you want, but you don't want that. So why get one? Or even a new iPhone?
In your place I would keep my money in my pocket.
