PG's cell phones section has been quiet for a year or two now. Many iPhone users are inactive. Off the top of my head, I can think of [MENTION=25542]syed shehzad[/MENTION]
Who uses S7 Edge and some iPhone (dont remember which one).

He can give you his personal experience using both devices.

I have s6 edge+, and note 3. I had s4 and s3 before. My 4 family members have iPhone 6 and 6s.
I have never bought an iPhone after iPhone 3.

does iPhone has superior build quality ? Infinix is worth buying or not?
In some ways, yes, but Samsung ditched plastic design, and the S6 / S7 series have great designs.

Infinix has good phones for the prices they're offered at.

Well, I have been using both platforms for a while, I'd say iPhone has lost its charm and creativity. Now look at Android phones advancing, modularity, connectivity, performance, builds

Okay well you put that aside assuming your question is iOS vs Android (because hardware vs software is illogical)

iOS tends to give a rather simple UI they say. No stuff to deal with, nothing at all. That's what makes you bound. On the other hand, on Android we have same level of stability (disagreed? Because you never used AOSP), better performance (you can see core software size difference, Android is around 650MB unpacked (for most of the phones) (yes I have calculated it when I build ROMs), while iOS is around 2GB..

Also, iPhones, as we all know have very low processing power and RAM, plus their RAM management goes with Low Memory Killer, it is nothing else. It literally kills every second app in it's recent list. While a 4 year old takes a lot of beating before it starts purging — if you don't believe me, Get a 6P/G5/Moto G4/OP3(with newest OTA) and 6s+ and do a comparison, now moving on to features, iOS lacks here too, you don't get modifications, of course since Google allows you to modify your phone in any way you might want. So you can count custom ROMs in as well as OEM specific ROM's modifications. Compare any one of those. iOS has like 5% of those features. Yes I may seem biased but this is how it is. Maybe iOS/iPhones were better at some point. But not since I have started this smartphone game. Modularity, seamless shifting of parts in run-time, that is innovation. Build quality? There are far better designed phones out there, example is G5 (metal), OnePlus (sandstone), Xiaomi (a full-metal design), tampered glass designs

    Gradually transitioning from console gaming to PC as the games are not worth it. 6 hours of Hellblade 2 is just not worth the $50 price tag.

    Just downloaded my first legit digital PC game on GoG at a discount of $8: Two Point Hospital. The same team behind Theme Hospital Two Point Studios now part of Sega. And I am having more fun than most recent AAA games except of course BG3.

    Still, I don't like either Sony or Microsoft as they are focusing more on corporate greed than delighting customers. PC gaming is best of gaming and worth every penny.

    PC Gamer score of 58/100 for Hellblade 2??? Is it really worse than Gollum that was 64/100? Microsoft games can't even come close to high scores of Sony exclusives apparently.

    About the Microsoft (and Sony) debate, I feel both have become too greedy and losing their minds over corporate greed. Personally, I will never buy any console next gen and switch to PC gaming where democracy reins.

    did you try setting up Google Payments? For UBL you may have to get it enabled for internet transactions, Naya should work without it!

    I tried both NayaPay, and UBL, but I keep getting "correct country selected..." error. I already have PK set there 🤦‍♂️

    Nope. They have a very valid case. The above video explains it all.
