Nothing, he had an iPhone before, tried the Sony phone, could not believe how laggy and buggy using it was, went back to an iPhone in less than a week.

Some people just don’t enjoy the experience of Android, I tried, really, really tried but also couldn’t (had one for 3 years).

And I’m sure people would disagree.

Which phone was it? Sony has products in the low, mid and high price range and the cheaper phones naturally are weaker than an iPhone. If you compare the flagship models of the two brands the Xperia is at least on the same level of power as the iPhone.

And as an anecdote: I had an iPhone a few years ago and hated it most of the time (and I say this while using a three year old phone that cost me 200€ at the time)

Yeah it was on the cheaper side, my brother would argue that if they put their name on it, it shouldn’t be shit (I kind of agree).

Yeah that’s fine, and there is nothing wrong with that, people should be able to use what they prefer for whatever reason. Others don’t think so as evident by the downvotes of me saying what my experience was like and what I prefer.

Nah, I don't disagree. Your experience is valid. Did he get some tech support for it or something? Because that doesn't sound like normal behavior for a new phone, no matter the brand.

No, he just gave up.

Me on the other hand had an LG android for 3 years. I thought it was a good phone but it wasn’t fully there yet. I bought a galaxy S5 thinking it would be a better experience. Couldn’t believe how slow a brand new phone could be. I haven’t tried another android yet.
