    On top of my mind

    • I can develop apps quickly and check how it looks on mobile (android can be built on any OS with lesser effort compared to iOS builds)
    • RetroGames!
    • Sideload apps
    • More customisation options
    • USB C

    I use both Android and iOS Some features I miss on Android are

    • Long press on space bar to move text cursor around.
    • Seamless integration between Apple Devices

      Long press on spacebar to move text cursor around.

      You’re saying you don’t have that on Android? I do. But I use GBoard.

        Maybe Xiaomi implemented what iOS did in their miui, however same feature is not present in GBoard or SwiftKey :/

          The trigger is slightly different on GBoard. Rather than long press and hold, you just touch the spacebar and drag right away. Press too long and the language options show up.

          The other big difference with this is it’s a 1-Dimensional traversal so it’s like having the left and right arrow keys but not the up and down keys.

            Wow I didn’t know, thanks for letting me know. Even the 1D traversal helps. Keeping one language makes this feature prominent.
