Girl using Xperia : "I want an iphone, but until my phone dies, I won't buy a new one." like gurl you will be using your Xperia for the next 10 years because that phone won't die easily..😆..not unless you'll throw into the ocean that's 1,000 feet deep 😆..I've been using my Xperia for 6 years now..it's still alive and ringing..Dropped it many times and it has been immersed in water for many times and it's not even water proof and yet it's like nothing happened 😆😆😆..
Yeah me too, I have Sony Ericsson Xperia X8 from 2010 and still work until now 😂😂😂😂
@@cirnocera7651 x8? Damn, that's way too old. You gotta buy a new one.
Cirno Cera Cirno your profile image is so cute send me it please
Im using Xperia x for 3 years now
Xperia is Japanese. You'd think they would take pride in buying Japanese?🤔
Fun Fact: Steve Jobs actually loves the Japanese’ simplicity and their Classical Architecture.
Very true, he even got married in a Shinto/Zen ceremony. He truly adored Japanese culture.
Japanese phone companies gives away iphone for free if you signed up for their services. thats why.
The iPhone is more expensive than Android, but the average annual income of Japanese people is more than 4.8 million yen, so I think that another reason is that you can easily buy expensive iPhone.
which phone services?
Kevin Lor
Me? I am softbank.
I see. So if I come to Japan and sign up with soft bank they would give me free iPhone?
Kevin Lor
No. I can't get it.
If you buy the main unit at the same time as the contract, you will get 20% discount, but it is not completely free.
I like the android-girl! 😆 same here, I'm not that much into phones and technology. I'm happy with my well-performing android for now, considering what kinds of accidents it survived I wouldn't change it for anything. 👌👌
She's bubbly too!
And yuhh, same... As long as it works for me, then no problem.
But in the end we all know androids are better
@@_rtx_ that is not the case nowadays
@@19volp that's obvious. you didnt even had to comment that
I noticed the way she said it - Iphone vs " Regular Smart Phone ". Funny how she considers other phone (non-Iphones) as "Regular smart phone" when in fact they are ALL Smart phones.
I remember the times when Japanese phones were the shit, these things had features you couldn't get elsewhere, and they only worked in Japan. Highly individualized back then. It's a bad heartbreaking that Japan lost this culture, I hope it will come back sometime.
They still use flip phones with the features that Japan is known for so it's not a total lost
@@eyelandgal yup, it’s just a niche market now
Phones have every feature that is imaginable now
@@eyelandgal Mostly only old people use it. Its mostly lost.
I live in Japan and I think another reason for the popularity of the iPhone comes from the mobile networks. In Japan, only certain phones are compatible to work here. Even if your phone is unlocked and compatible with the Japanese network bands, it still might not work. I had an unlocked Samsung Galaxy S6 which covered Japanese network bands but because it wasn't listed on my phone carrier's site of compatible devices, it didn't work.
iPhones have no compatibility issues.
Now I'm using a OnePlus 5 on Docomo with no problems even though it's not on their compatibility list. It's a bit of a crapshoot.
Lin Nyunt Looks like a semi monopoly business there.
@@azwarmuharram2399 You can probably blame Softbank for that
Weird
@@titan133760 not to mention that Samsung kinda screwed themselves by censoring Japanese emojis and internet culture on their phones. Also, previously to iPhones only Japanese smartphones did well in Japan, and a lot of Japanese smartphone manufacturers took a lot longer to catch up with the iPhone than other international brands.
About Samsung, it’s a very unpopular brand on Japan due to their Korean roots, it seems that there’s some discrepancy between Japan and South Korea. Even Samsung had to rename all their devices lineup suppressing all references to their brand, that’s why they sell their phones as just “Galaxy” in Japan.
Mi phone is Android :v
You chose wisely.
Mi is the best value for money phone. Totally unecessary to buy iphones unless you are a die hard trend follower
Jesús Otaku
Same🌚
@@weareruledbyNarcissists He didn't say he had a xiaomi phone, he just said android
You live a sad life...
At the time when iphones became popular in japan i also asked many japanese friends why they choose iphones over android. almost all of them said, because the size of iphones is perfect for their hands and android phones were too big. That whas the time when iphones were pretty small. I think till the iphone 5 or something.
I could buy an iPhone but I want to keep my kidneys in case one of them fails
the iPhone ,to me, is intended for people who just want to have a phone for calling , taking pictures and simple stuff like that. now, the android has a lot of features and can easily be tweaked to your liking but that would probably be too complicated for someone who is used to the iPhone. My note 8 is so useful and convenient in everyday situations and everything else basically. Android is for those who wish to use the technology to the maximum. Android all the way 😍
Mine is Xperia, works great , simple..
i don't edit videos or anything with it
so I am ok having an Xperia Phone..
I expected everyone in Japan to use Xperia.
I am currently using my Note 3 and Note 5. I even still have my S4 Active. I laughed when everyone was overjoyed when iPhones could be water proof. Dude, the S4 Active was a little old when I got it and that was YEARS ago. 😂😂 iPhones users are happy to finally use functions we Android users had for years. I had an iPhone back in 2011 and couldn't wait to switch. Glad I did. Function over fashion.
It makes me glad all the more that I bought an iPhone in America, my very first smartphone, in anticipation of reaching Japan to reside there teaching. I’m watching this on my iPhone now!
I personally find iPhone very overrated so I got myself a brand new Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 and it's working amazing, as fast as i would have never imagined, it's undoubtably an amazing phone for what it costs !!
Kanarazu same here but i go for RN5Pro ... Cheap but has a great spec.. The branding just make it expensive
amirul izwan unfortunately power of brand always make an item become expensive, so sad
Velin Christine yeah only smart people know to check phone spec first before buying it.. there are many great spec with cheap price nowadays such as xiaomi but people always go for popularity not the totally function of the phone
amirul izwan I actually have the same RN5 Pro that you mention, though for European countries the name is different and doesn't have the «Pro» in its name 😁.
But yeah, it's an amazing choice :D
Velin Christine Totally agreed, that's a very American way of promoting a product. I suppose Japanase people follow the same pattern when it comes to choosing their smartphone, Apple is way too overrated! 🤷🏻♂️
I used to have iPhones but from the galaxy 6 edge, Samsung surpassed iPhones and hasn't looked back since. I have the S8 right now and will be upgrading to the s10 next year when they release it, I'm not leaving android anytime soon.
Dude oneplus is better than samsung trust me
@@christiancolomida6107 absolutely right... I have one plus 1 even though the screen is not working anymore still I didn't buy Samsung Bcos I wanted to fix it and when it's fixed I would still go back to one plus 1....sadly that I have to wait long time Bcos I have to send it to UK to get it fix Bcos we don't have one plus store here in Philippines
Straight up though, I don't understand why we can't all just use both android and apple. You get the best of both worlds by just swapping between the two every time you get a new phone.
Or have a cheap 1 or 2 year+ old refurbished iPhone as your main phone for texting/ calling/ facetiming with other people, alongside buying your android of choice for media consumption and overall more smartphone features.
You are a man of culture.
Xiaomi Mi A1 (android)
i find the iphone too expensive, too locked behind a ecosystem i don't use (apple) i don't make use of any of their services so i don't really miss anything from apple's ecosystem, as for android i actually use google's ecosystem, chromecast, chrome as a browser on my desktop, gmail as my personal email, so that's basically why i find it more confortable to use an android phone.
Android can also be simplistic if you choose a launcher and apps that make it simple to use, but if you want a little more or even a lot more you can always get it on android while on iphone you get what apple decides you are going to get and that's it.
cosporcos same happens to me
Short for this : too expensive + not worth it 😂😂😂
same,I have a Xiaomi 3s
We have the same phone! Hahaha
Me too. I'm still using my Redmi Note 3 Pro that I bought 2 years ago. Still works fine and can play latest games.
I still use an iPhone 5s cause I love how small and compact it is. But finding phone cases is getting harder and I really like getting them from Japan because they have a clip for your keycharms which I have about 8 of that stay on my phone
My phone is Android and a Google Pixel 2 XL! I love how it functions and quickly it responds, plus it has incredible camera quality, minor the blue hue you see when you turn the brightness down when you scroll through feeds, pictures etc. But it's just like any other Android phone, very easy to use, updates are not a pain, you can access time, date/day and find out what notifications you have without putting your pin in, other than that the only downside is not having a lot of case designs; the phone cases are very expensive and there's not many custom ones you can buy either which saddens me because I've always wanted a custom phone case! It's really good in terms of sturdiness because I've dropped it that many times, I haven't seen a single crack! I recommend the Google Pixel phones, they're super sweet and I don't think I'll ever change my mind when it comes to buying another type of phone again!!!
Google pixel have the best camera and fast updates; plus is stock android from google. I will get one this year. Now I have an iphone xs and a galaxy note 8. I had a phone from google in the past and I liked it.
I am presently using iPhone 6s. I like having different OS devices to keep learning with the attempt of maintaining a balance on different technology.
I'm a droid.
What did Cathy Cat mean by rifujin? I tried looking at an online translator and it was confusing because it's a word with a lot of synonyms. Maybe the closest thing would be inconsistent? I'm not sure if that really fits.
You should do music again! I just subbed when watching that video and love your other videos 🤣😃
I used iPhone from the 4s to the 6, then it finally hit me that iPhone is years behind Android in terms of features. Apple sells features as revolutionary that Android has had for YEARS.
Apple don't call them revolutionary though. When they add features, they only say, "hey, we add this feature to iPhone." Their features were never revolutionary, and they never claimed to be in the first place. The one that claimed Apple was revolutionary were blind people ranging from Apple fanboys, normies, to Android fanboys.
But they do it better than android. Have android before samsung & LG. Though they can do more their execution is poor. They tend to have shorter life than Iphone does. I can keep my Iphone for 4-5 years in android it typically last 3 years.
Android throws 100s of darts on a board and only a few hit the center apple has a near perfect track record for any features they add being well received
Apple perfects all the features they add android is ahead of its time but the updates are normally buggy and glitchy but i still like android if i could afford it i would have a google pixel 6 pro as well as my iphone 13
iphone feel like home. :)
Can you do a follow up video on this topic? I love this topic so much
Samsung A5 2017; I love it so much. There are so many ways to customize the phone-disabling apps and its super easy to change the language setting-there are more languages than Ive seen on other phones.
Cases are a little hard to find in my area though. 😭
Anyone else see guys walking past at 4:01? Is that a daily occurrence in Japan? I love those uniforms! You don’t see that too much in the US, guys who wear school uniforms probably go home and change immediately, aren’t really walking around like that. They look good ❤️ *ends comment, flies to Japan*
I don't know which part of the US you live in but where I'm from in the US, it's common in the city to see school kids in their uniforms walking around.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 that is still working (mostly). The charging port broke a while ago, so now I have a battery charger and swap out batteries. It's kind of silly, but it's not like I use my phone for "high end" mobile games, so what's the point in switching?
When I do switch, I plan on getting a used phone, because it is better for the environment and doesn't support bad worker conditions, while also being cheaper.
I have an iPhone 6 and my iOS is still 9.3 lol! I knew that the updates slow my phone down and cause it to use the battery more so it dies faster. I didn't update it and my phone is still pretty good for 3 years!
Wow I was pretty surprised. I thought iPhones were only extremely mainstream in the US. Kinda sad that their market is just dominated by one particular type of phone
Use Xperia for many years, my first Android phone also Xperia (SE Xperia X8) and its still work in a good condition 😍. Now I am using Xperia XA1 Ultra, cant wait to upgrade to the lasted Xperia phone
I am currently using a Samsung phone but then i really want to get an iphone because i realized that the camera is really good to take pictures and videos and that it has a lot of features and i am really curious about them. Even in Sri Lanka everyone is starting to use the iphone i think it has become a trend now plus it truly does have cool accessories than most phones like cases and such🤔 love this video really looking forward to more videos 💕
Can I use my Samsung S20 phone (bought in the Philippines) in Japan? Do Samsung phones still need to have GITEKI marks in order to get a SIM plan/contract? Will work for 2 years starting January next year. Thank you.
Yes! I have a Zenphone too! I love it!
I'm proud user of nokia 100.
I'm suprised that You are using phone for filming in country that has one of the best optics in the world+HUGE very well made photo/video models!
I used apple for about 6 or 7 years, then stopped with my first Samsung phone. In this transition you truly understand how free you are when you use Android. Like others have said, Android is a computer. There are almost no limitations. I love it to bits.
Then you will find more and more ads targeted to you and they are what you were searching these days. LMAO, android is not selling their hardwares to you, but selling your data to make profits instead. That’s so-called freedom.
@Tsots loot what im typing from a 7 year old iPad haha
Though samsung is hated in japan
@@voiceofshanghai9681 apple is selling ads now tooo LOL and not only but in android you can remove any google services and be free ,you genuinely can do whatever the fuck you want... at least yall have sideloading now thats something baby steps ig
😂😂😂😂 I bet your behind you don’t believe this. Lol.
Foolish mortals... My Android Motorola DROID TURBO From 2015 keeps kicking ass and it's battery under heavy use still lasts to under 50% in 6 hours. Not complaining a bit ;)
Team Android here - HTC, to be more precise. My current phone is a Desire 620. Not the most recent (it's 3yo lol) but still running strong, so while I'd like to get a new phone, I'll keep that one as long as it runs properly! Plus, Android allows much more freedom to customize your phone than Apple, and it's overall nicer to use imo. Phones on Android also tend to be cheaper haha
Strangely, I don’t see many people in Germany using iphones compared to other smartphones 🤔 But i know they are also the more popular smartphone in America
Same thing in Russia. But here it's because of quite low income (compared to EU), while in Germany it's... I don't know ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@ndrechtseiter maybe its the freedom android provides compared to ios and that germany always was a bit of an pc/gaming country. so its natural to choose android. also samsung is for some reason very popular here.
I feel like nowadays the iPhone is VERY prominent and popular in Germany, especially us younger folks love it. I hardly know people my age who use android, somehow everyone seems to switch to iPhones haha
@@bestbeomgyustan Well my comment was four years ago, I definitely do see more iphones now 😂 Oftentimes see way more people using older models though compared to the US where everyone has the newest
I heard that people using a Samsung phone have some issues in Japan, is that true?
Btw I am have a S5. And its still working very well.
As an android user a while ago, I always look down on iphone. I thought it always behind in term of features. One day I bought an iphone 6s for my wife because she said she like to own one. I found it so much clean and organised, and I found out about screen time. Now, I own a 12 mini, my wife a X, my kids 8, 8 plus, 7 plus and 6s. I inherit all my prelove iphone to my kids because I can change the housing, battery, lcd screen if they break. The hardware on the inside just made it possible to do so.
Apple has always been inspired by Japan, I think because of this it’s easy to see why they would choose Apple
i went to Japam back in 2019 and i happened to realise that so many had owned iphones, everywhere i went i saw that many had iPhones including high school students whereas ihad a samsung. however, when i went to korea many seemed to lean towards android, samsung in particular but there was some iPhone users every now and then which was very rare.
Don’t forget that Samsung is a South Korean company so it is normal that android phones (Samsung) prevails.
Yeah but even in other countries places/in movies tv shows/celebrities, there are always more iPhones than Samsungs, not just in Japan
For some reason, I love your voice.
Most people in Australia also uses an iPhone. It’s mostly due to having chargers in places like Pubs and friends house available, and also variety of cases.
Also Apple supports their devices longer than Android with security and OS updates which makes the phone safer/ runs better even after 4 years
Yep like the majority of cases you see in stores are for iphones
Cathy is a woman of culture
I have a Xiaomi Mi A1 (Android), the iPhone's competitor in China. It's a bit hard to use at first, but it's a very good phone, definetely the best one I've had. Not too expensive yet very powerful.
Ooh is it still working? I have the 3rd gen. The Mi A3. Fantastic camera, battery life, fast processor.
My phone is Vivo, (y12s) it was hard at first but once I got used to the new system of it (I'm an Samsung person, it was a whole new world to me), I made it turn into an iPhone customization especially the phone cases. Phone cases for vivo was really hard to find since my country is popular with Apple or oldest phones which makes me infuriating (and sometimes other phone brands, it's just so annoying!)
As said, just get an iPhone. It's better than losing a temper when it comes for phone cover cases. But I'll get one in the future (but Vivo is kinda good unless you treat it fairly and excellent. Phone battery only lasted longer hours if you keep it untouched but if touched, it will short the long hours of usage)
I think is Ideology. I've seen so many videos and documentaries about Japan, and I don't understand why they are so in love about the U.S.' ideology. I mean, 70 years ago they smash your country TWICE. And now, it's like the most of japanese have forgotten history (except for the most of the oldest japanese)
When I watched Zankyou no terror, I kind of understand the situation; in the anime there's been said that Japan is a country where its honor was taken away.
U.S. also used ideology to "destroy" the URSS, Germany (cold war), Japan, and I don't know about other countries. So Madonna, Michel Jackson, Apple, Comics, Coca Cola... Are the key, or better said, are the face, because I don't know what's the key.
Point on!
I bought my first iPhone in Japan. Why? Because there is some app only avalaible on Apple store( japanese learning application for exemple)
I remember the first time I visited Japan about 8 years ago, hardly anyone had an iphone. The majority of people were using the Android 'flip' phones (unsure of the brand name?). You could attach little tokens which made them look pretty & individual.. It was strange coming from another country (Australia) where most people were already using iphones/smartphones :)
Liza with a Z flip phones are kind of nice! Even now I like it!
I believe they are the Samsung folder and the lg wine and ice cream phones - all which were android phones with both touch screen and key pad capabilities
You have no idea how happy I was when I was able to find cases in Japan for my 5.5in Android phone. And it was at Comiket, of all places. Almost everything was iPhone-sized, so I was really sad when I was shopping around back in 2017.
It's kind of interesting how many misconceptions the Japanese have about the iPhone, like virus resilience. Since it's a popular phone, it obviously gets targeted more often because there are more victims to infect. It is true that it is a simple OS, and that is probably its strong point.
What ?? Android has much more viruses 🦠
@@Matchleader no matter how much the virus, if the virus resilience is great, then it wont get infected
@@Matchleader excuse me iPhone is much more suspectible to hacking than android.
@@hyacinth8513 what ?? 90% of attack on mobiles are on androids. iPhone is much more secure. Stop lying
@@Matchleader No, android is much more secure now more than iPhones it's not the case back then but it's different now. Android evolves 10x faster than iPhones and majority uses android.
I also use Zenfone, same as the director of Ask Japanese!
Having used both iOS and Android over the last few years I’d say both are decent. I personally find iOS to be the more convenient option for day to day tasks, but the amount of customization Android gives you is unmatched. It really just depends on what you like to use your phone for.
Also ios is better for editing pictures
@@aussiefurbymogwaifan6621 Apple has always been great when it comes to stuff like that. Final Cut on macOS is a good example
I need to like your videos more because they are all good just forget sometimes . I think if you stop I will really miss seeing you talking about Japan.
Because there are overwhelmed i-phone accessories and stores in Japan.
They are so cute and cool.
I live in Japan and I have a S8. I constantly get asked why I chose an Android and not an iPhone. Even when I went to go buy my phone the shop staff at docomo were trying to get me to buy an iPhone. I've been using Samsungs ever since I got my first smartphone and I will always buy my phones from Samsung.
@@_rtx_ Why are you replying to a comment from over 2 years ago.
@@_rtx_ a cool kid
@@_rtx_
This constant arguing whether android or IOS is better is only annoying
I’ve had Samsung for 7 yearswith my last one being note 8 and now i switched over to iPhone. Never looking back again
@@Hamyhamster24 the biggest mistake ever😔
actually i really like japan, but i don't find any japanese products anywhere, this is very weird i only see ASUS,LENOVO,HUAWEI,OPPO,VIVO,SAMSUNG,APPLE
This is true. It's more like a trend. I thought Sony would be most used in Japan.
True tech enthusiasts will most likely choose android because of its customizability over simplicity. But to be completely honest, Android is just as simple, it’s just different.
I'm using SONY EXPERIA .. But now they seem very similar.... Except that sapphire glass may not crack or smash...( I think iPhone has the Sapphire glass) .. I'm using SONY EXPERIA MOBILE ... just like my old school 2004 SONY TV.!!!!!!! and SONY 2004 DVD PLAYER.. both still work stonkingly good...
for iphone it is more difficult to costuming, I am using a new Android that I have replaced Firmware, and it's very fun.
I always wondered, whenever you see phone cases in videos from Japan, they seem to exclusively make them for Iphones. Is the market for other phones just not big enough or why is that there seem to be no products for the likes of Android devices like the ones by Samsung?
iPhones are awesome
Huawei. ♡ I've been using them for years. Each time I change my phone is for a newer Huawei xD I think they have the perfect match between functions, good camera and price.
Hello, two years later hahaha, which phone do you use today for today? I’m using my first iPhone and I’m curious about what happen with your opinion about Hawaii through time
I have been using an iPhone 6s for 6 years now and I would say iPhones have some advantages like long software support, AirDrop and iMessage. Although where I live we all use What’s App and so I don’t need iMessage. But all those special effects on there are cute :) Wanna change to a Samsung soon though because I kinda got bored lol
ZENPhone is great! I use to be a pure Apple user. Demo, Ima...I thought to try Android and I actually prefer Android more! Tsbun, due to my career. Demo actually, I love how you can actually personalize the Android to your own preference much more than Apple. Plus, the updates from Apple and the way they "force" you into upgrading by making certain things obsolete. I don't dig that.
I have an LG K10 2017
Really happy with Galaxy S9+ the best phone yet
I have a Galaxy S7, a Galaxy Tab A and a computer with Windows as OS, and it's super easy to connect everything. Also, customizing it and changing it takes no time, while Iphones don't let you change anything unless you root them
And don't let me start with the prices...
I have an iPhone SE on MetroPCS but I seriously wish I could have Docomo with it but I don’t live in Japan
kinda cool it's the total opposite to their neighbour country (south korea), where everyone uses samsung
@GRATEFULNESS which makes it even more surprising there aren't that many more people using Sony phones
I'm good with my s8+
bankaispirits I had one too. Good phone
Oh mr. Director, i use zenfone too 😁
From a neutral stand point I like both as both work well for me I can game so fast and well in my Android, I can keep privacy on my iPhone secured. But in terms of how it works its because Apple's ecosystem works well and it is smooth too.
How's android hard to use? I don't understand
People say that Apple 'invented' many things, but they just reinvented it, other companies included it in their phone's ages ago, but just cause Apple is mainstream, people rave over it 😒
Kinda true tho. I mean, if in 2007 Steve Jobs didn't announced iPhone. Probably Nokia and Blackberry still on top, and android probably need more time.
And you have to remember that Apple is the 1st company that made PC for public user. And also the "stolen" GUI concept from Xerox that create machintos(and probably inspired Bill Gates to made Windows).
And yeah, Face ID, chinless bezels, airpods. Actually they've started a lot of new things.
Apple did. You are not well informed or simply biased towards another brand. Do your research properly, or I’m simply interpreting this post as 100% subjective.

I don't have phone. For web browsing I still use win95 pentium mmx 233mhz.
i have both iphone and android (oneplus).. after a year, my android become lag often, always have to restart factory to running smoothly again...
All android phone goes delay at all coz android is not optimize like ios
I use the iPhone 6 but before this I had a htc and a cheap Samsung phone. I got an iPhone because my iPod and my phone broke at the same time and it was just cheaper to buy this second hand then to replace both of them ahaha
Edit: also I have had no problems with the screen breaking or anything like that, I’ve used Apple since a young and and I have never broke the screen. You just need to use screen protectors. I honestly don’t understand how people smash their screens all the time tbh
Im using iphone 6s right now since 2015/16 and im thinking to change to Android's but i really cant move on from iOs at the moment because im used to it :/
Mine is a Samsung Galaxy sky J7, big screen and it does all I need but I do also have a iPad Air pro tablet.
The blonde person that had the glitter case and the bear shirt is beautiful. such pretty eyes and nice voice.
Android phone - LG V30 (HiFi Quad DAC for my music); iPad for iOS only apps. and my Windows 10 laptop. So, pretty much my bases covered when it comes to software.
I have a Google Pixel. I got it for two reasons. 1, No carrier bloatware allowed on the phone so I don't have 80% of my memory fill with garbage apps I will never use and can't delete. 2, it is not Apple. I hate their business practices and how they treat customers like the problem when ever one of their shoddy designs causes problems for users.
3:20 This person is cute af.
Xiaomi Redmi 3. For the benefit, I think it's never laggy for me bcs I play a lot of games especially the rhythm games one 😂
Proud to be an iPhone user. I missed the inventive flip phones in 2000s.
I use an Android, as I only use mine for texting and using internet. Simple and does what I need it to do. Music etc has no use in my life so I'm lucky in that way :)
Galaxy note 8. I'm a busy student and I needed a phone that functions as a office tool, smart phone, camera, and editor. Sadly I ran over it so I'm using my mom's old s8 until I get a new one. So far everything is about the same. Office work is a little slower and lack of s pen makes certain task a little harder. I didn't go for the iPhone do to lack of customizations, I don't like Apple's business practices, and I hate they took the headphone jack away. All of my other electronics use android OS and google so everything is in sync and connected.
Samsung Galaxy S8+. Love Android! When I was in Japan last year, I do recall seeing mostly iPhone and Sony Xperia phones in use...and I did think it was unusual at the time (vs. in Hawaii...but iPhone is super-popular here in Hawaii too)
Sony Docomo Xperia Z3 Compact.
Advantage : User sided preferences. Open. Unique
Got a Windows Phone for private use (actually now it's just for Anki to learn Japanese vocab) and my company gave me a Samsung Galaxy S7 for work but we are free to use it for private needs too so basically it's just the S7 I use now most of the time. I used to have an iPod which was great but the iPhone just didn't catch my interest. I think Android and Windows Phones are actually easier and more comfortable to use. 😁
I'm using an Motorola, but I miss so much using an iPhone :( my last one broke and I don't have money to buy the iPhone X, it's sad
Excuse me, Ask Japanese Channel
can you ask the people at there about 2.5 stage
cause now 2.5 stage is popular at Japan
thankyou if you can do my request
Cathy, I'm totally with you on this. I use Android and avoid using Apple products as much as I can. They are supposedly easy to use, but I'm so used to computers and smartphones working a different way, I get really frustrated when I have to use iPhones or Macs. The one case where I have had to surrender is when I've had to use iTunes on my desktop in order to buy some Japanese songs that I can't buy and download elsewhere.
2023 and same feeling, i don't like using Apple products
an xperia would be my dream phone, too bad they're very expensive :(
I'm hating my iphone6 right now and wanted to try google pixel or some android but the phone case for android are so limited and ugly... so I'm stuck w apple lol
I have two iphone an both of them broke, unfortunately , now im using someone's old phone laying around. Things i miss about my iphone is how fast i cn type. This phone is old, thats understandable.
I have iphone 7 plus. When this dies i might try an android or samsung or something different. I don’t like the changes with iphone 8 or ten. I am worried about my games so i will have to research first if the games are on the different phone first.
