iOS 14 and Android 11Source: Joe Maring / Android Central

Even (or perhaps especially) for the most tech-savvy, switching phone ecosystems and operating systems can be a huge endeavor, which is why most of us just don't. Well, it's one of the reasons, of course.

It can be even more gratifying when we're successful at convincing a friend or family member to make the switch and seeing their eyes light up at all of the possibilities with just how flexible Android is and all of the best Android phones that they now can choose from.

Google Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro hands-on: Prettiest Pixel perfection

Google seemed stagnant with the last few Pixel releases, and now we know why: they were saving every bit of energy and excitement for the Google Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro. Huge camera bumps (inside and out), Android's brand new UI, and the Google Tensor chipset make the Pixel 6 a phone that will turn heads and open wallets.
