I’ve been thinking about how all androids tend to give off a weak brand. I know many people like samsung, but I always think of them as cheap (I’ve had galaxys before).
I don’t care about whether they are premium or not, I am interested in what the brand invokes.
When I think iphone I think quality, does any android brand give you this perception? I was thinking Sony, what do you think?

Literally no current phone gives me that feeling, android, apple, or otherwise.
I just can’t the apple ui so I don’t, and I feel ill when fanglorbs praise me for having an iphone. Why does that even happen. Android is untrust so I use graphene but it has a lot of tradeoff. Pure Linux phones are still far from ready both hardware and software.
Early iphones were cool because everything actually was new. When android custom ROM devs started making cool new features that after a year or two became new iphone features praised as being never been done before I couldn’t see them as the status symbol all the street thugs in my area considered them to be.
Meanwhile Android phone makers ditched microsd on all flagship level phones and massively overpriced the permanent storage to be almost if not just as bullshit as apples pricing.
At this point I just want a smallish phone I can one handedly reach my thumb over the whole screen without carpel tunnel, microsd or honestly even nvme phone thickness could be half an inch and I wouldn’t mind, I don’t use 3.5 jack anymore so w.e to that, some OLED variant with at least 70hz refresh, no rounded screen edges so tempered glass actually can be used, and a fingerprint reader that isn’t shit. Given several of these exist on different phones it’s not like it would be a big ask but all the manufacturers, or their suits at least, are irredeemably stupid and people just keep making them money anyway.
Yeah, that’s one of the key reasons why i switched to iPhone. What ever the size, quality and iOS is great. One phone though is Pixel. It does mimic the quality, but whenever I download some app which is 1gb it crashes
Sony and Samsung. HTC is also a premium brand, but then again, they aren’t focused on building Android devices anymore. The same goes with LG. Sadly, the Android market is filled with Chinese companies which I don’t consider premium.
Yeah I agree the android market got uglier and uglier. Since LG left I considerd moving to apple for the first time in my life
I moved to iPhone full time when HTC left the Android scene. I believe HTC still makes Android devices, albeit in very limited quality and on the lower end in very select markets. HTC made such classy looking phones with awesome ui skin. When I think of HTC, i think weather widgets.
Not Sony with their weird phone naming strategy lol
