# Sun singles competition # from a use of Android for eight years to iOS to engage in machine broken DS concept - Hong Kong Bank iPhone X phone ten days use experience

**My Android Background (No Direct Drop-Down):** In 2010, I got my first smartphone — the HTC G7. I was always drawn to the open spirit of Microsoft and Google, so it was only natural that the only smartphone I bought during my college summer job was an Android device. After getting it, I experimented with a lot of custom ROMs — from various native AHS, CMs, to the most impressive one: MIUI. At that time, MIUI stood out for its features, offering a complete explosion compared to other Android-based custom systems. In 2012, I switched to the Lumi 800. Maybe the G7 had been overused, and I felt like I needed something new. The main reason was the phone’s attractive design. The Windows Phone system became less important, and I decided to switch to the MX2. I don’t need to explain how hard it was to use WP, and after half a year, I gave it up. In 2012, I used the MX2. Whether it was the appearance or the UI, it was comparable to the iPhone 4s, but I’m not sure if it lasted as long. In 2014, I had the Charm Blue Note. It was the first generation of Charm Blue phones. Life wasn't too bad — using it moderately, it lasted about two days. It remained in the top rankings for a long time until the MATE7 came out. The only drawback was the MediaTek 6752 chip, which wasn’t very powerful. I also used the company's 4S, and even though the card was a bit slow, the battery life was decent. The main reason I upgraded to iOS7 was because of the UI, which I found quite nice. In 2016, I bought the Honor 8. I didn’t really have a strong impression of Huawei at first, but the color of the Charm Sea Blue was really appealing. Plus, the Charm Blue Note had been reliable for a long time, so I quickly jumped on the bandwagon. I won’t talk about EMUI being “referenced” by others — its practicality is solid, and I haven’t regretted it. The system has been stable, no crashes or bugs for a long time, but it stopped updating six months before the release of the iPhone X. That lack of support made me frustrated. **Reasons to Buy:** Face ID, the full-screen design, the brand-new interactive experience, the A11 chip (I heard the Snapdragon 845 wasn’t out yet), and the 10th anniversary. There were many reasons to buy the X, especially since I was frustrated with Huawei at the time. The Honor 8 hadn’t received updates since July 2017, just a year after release. Big brands should be more responsible, but the X was expensive! I couldn’t afford it, so I just wanted to get one. On the eve of the X launch, there were reports of stock shortages and prices around 20,000 RMB. I thought, "I must get one!" Wasn’t this a classic case of buying on impulse? (You can call me a fool if you want). The main reason I chose Hong Kong was the price — 64GB cost around 7,300 RMB. Second, I wanted to visit a friend who played World of Warcraft, so I could send it to classmates working in Hong Kong. Third, the coordinates of my home in Huizhou, Guangdong, are close to Hong Kong, making travel easy via Prince Edward Station. But later, I really wanted to curse people. **Mocking Apple** Unexpectedly, I managed to book it on the official Hong Kong website. It was the second batch, and delivery was scheduled for November 18–25. I felt like I had lost 100 million yuan. Although I could have canceled the order, I saw positive reviews from major media and my stubborn resistance to iOS. This contradiction actually sparked my curiosity. I thought, "If I don’t try it, I’ll never know." Plus, Huawei’s inaction made me decide to "pre-order." **Appearance Gallery** There’s nothing to say — everyone has their own opinion on the iPhone X. I’ll just show a few pictures to get straight to the point. **Using Feelings on iOS (After Years of Android)** **Advantages:** 1. Prevent accidental touches. This feature helps prevent your palm from touching the screen when using one hand. It solves a big pain point for small-handed users. Android users I know, like Samsung, Meizu, and Huawei, have not implemented this well, often causing issues with touch sensitivity in the corners. The iPhone X doesn’t have this problem. I don’t know how other brands handle it. 2. Face ID. The security level is much higher than Touch ID, but it's less convenient. If your face is distorted or partially covered, the recognition rate drops. I think the next iPhone will bring back Touch ID. 3. Curved screen. Only Apple dares to do this and uses it well. Without a manufacturer like Apple, who would develop specific apps for it? Even though some apps aren’t fully optimized, I believe they will improve soon. By the way, the OLED screen looks amazing. It reminded me of the Lumi 800, even with lower resolution. 4. Siri is super responsive. My previous Honor 8 felt like a blind person in comparison. 5. Swiping between apps is 100 times better than Android. 6. The original color display is great. The screen feels warm, and you can turn it off if you prefer cold tones. 7. Battery life is almost non-existent. This is something Android devices can’t even dream of. Reviews also mention that iOS optimizes background app wake-up mechanisms. 8. Everything is smooth and fast. That’s the biggest advantage of iOS. **Disadvantages:** 1. The back button is not user-friendly. For small hands, it’s hard to reach. The probability of failure is high. Many apps don’t support swipe-back, and adding a floating button makes the experience worse. This is one of the hardest things for me to adapt to. 2. Basic apps like dialer and SMS are lacking. Features like contact search, spam blocking, and keyword filtering are missing. Third-party apps like Tencent Mobile Assistant add some features, but they’re not enough. Why can’t Apple allow third-party developers to do this? 3. No batch management in settings. You can’t batch set app permissions, background modes, etc. 4. Many apps aren’t fully optimized for the X. For example, Fei Input Method has bugs, auto-closing, and sometimes the keyboard disappears. There are horizontal bars underneath. Check the image below: 5. iTunes is not user-friendly. I used to use nano3 and mini clips. Apple’s localization isn’t great. 6. App icons can’t be placed freely, and the last screen can’t be removed. **Hardware Highlights:** 1. Haptic feedback, especially 3D Touch, is very comfortable. There are different vibration intensities and patterns. Many games also support adaptive haptics. This alone makes it stand out compared to other flagships like the MIX2, which had poor haptic feedback. 2. The刘海 (notch) is packed with eight components, including Face ID, Animoji, proximity sensor, brightness sensor, camera, earpiece, microphone. Few people have followed the steps, and it’s still unique. 3. Camera. I love taking photos without thinking. I heard the X doesn’t have portrait mode like the Mac, so I took a picture. The background blur is good. I don’t like the camera evaluation; some said it dragged the progress bar. **Battery Life:** I’ve gotten used to charging overnight. It lasts about a day with moderate use — checking WeChat,微博, no games. Sometimes, I ran down to 10% at 11 PM, but it worked fine for three days. The last 10% is tough. **Summary:** After using the X for over ten days, my views on iOS have changed a lot. Apple excels in hardware humanization, like raising your hand to brighten the screen, waking up with a tap, and the original color display. These are things I’ve never experienced on other phones. But on the flip side, the system still has room for improvement. Many built-in features and settings are lacking. While Android systems like Flyme, MIUI, Smartisan OS, and even EMUI offer better experiences, the closed ecosystem and security concerns play a role. Some improvements don’t affect security, so there’s definitely room for growth. Overall, spending 7,300 RMB on the X was barely worth it. Thanks for reading all the way down.
