17E opinion-review for people new to Apple
If you are like me comming from Android (always having Samsung Galaxy or Xiaomi phones) first thing you'll notice is how similar is to Android! From control center to widgets and keyboards if you opt out to something like SwiftKey. You can custumize iOS to your liking as I did and I feel as if Ive never left the google ecosystem.
Now the hardware benefits and gripes with the 17e. First thing you notice how much faster and smoother everything is. Ive traded the 120hz of Galaxy for the 60hz here but good os and chip will always beat refeesh rate for me. The phone wont throttle on you in your day to day use EVER. However my main issue with Apple is VERY agressive throttling of the screen brightness independent of auto brightness settings. I had no phone on adroid where I wont have control over its brightness! This is new and a bit frustrating. Which in a way I undestand why this might be bigger issue on 17e. Its a small phone with chasis made for weaker CPU and not the A19. The next smaller base phones definety need reworked cooling system.
However the phone works and its already evident it wont break on you like Samsungs do. You can fully rely on it for work and enjoy AAA pc games such as Resident evil 2 remake and Control. Another thing to mention as downside there is this scammy thing Apple does where oled panels are random and different by different suppliers LG or Samsung. My wife with 16e has clearly better, brighter Samsung panel with better punchier colors and better viewing angles opposed to mine with LG. The only plus LG panels have if you get one like mine is whiter whites but that depends what you percieve as better.
