my first shmartphone

iPhones are more user interface friendly. Harder to get lost on an iPhone than an android. I've had both, both have their pros and cons

I will mention one thing about images from a phone. They are VERY small and if you blow them up to 8X10 or bigger it will be full of noise. Sometimes 5X7 will be just barely ok.

Depends on the phone, all of my photos are taken with a Samsung S21+5G and emailed to myself (where I then take them into a photo program, adjust the colors, add a watermark and then put it where it belongs.)
But the image quality never really gets grainy - Let me take a picture of one of my plants - this is completely unedited, sent to my email and posted here -

Hint: a $300-$400 phone will function just as well as a $700-$800 phone. Don't get fooled by bells and whistles. Very likely that's what outsmarted you in the first place. Good luck.



IPhone is a waste. You're paying for name and popularity.

thanks for your input there
