I've been trying out $49 Android phones lately after using an iPhone 6 Plus for over a year.
Android is getting to the point where most users will not really notice a difference between Android and IOS, even on a very inexpensive device.

Having had experience recently with top-end Android devices, I'd beg to differ. Functionally an Android device is roughly equivalent to an iOS one, but the design, UI, responsiveness etc. is IMO miles apart. It may be a matter of subjective taste but I would recommend that anyone reading the above and considering switching spent some serious time using Android first.
- grandalf 10y ago> the design, UI, responsiveness etc. is IMO miles apart. This was my perspective too, last year. Moore's Law seems to have made Android's slower approach to smooth UI finally just about as silky as IOS, even on low end hardware.
- stephenr 10y agoThat's great, and in 4 years time the cheap android devices will get the current release.
- grandalf 10y agoThe latest one ($59) comes with Marshmallow.
