My experience on Android.

Ever since I made the jump to Android a few years ago, I've really feel that the OS has been improving steadily.

The first device I got, came with Android Gingerbread installed. To be honest, I was a bit doubtful when I made the jump coming from a Blackberry Curve. I really liked the physical QWERTY keyboard, ever since I started using it with a Nokia E63, and being a bit old school sometimes the whole touchscreen didn't attracted me all that much.

But Android quickly won me over, it really made feel at home and easy to use. For the next devices one came Android KitKat, and the other with Android Lollipop. Both felt quite solid, and did more than enough to keep me on the side of Android.

Last year, I got a device running Android Marshmallow. This version of Android made a really great impression for me on the technical side. It felt a lot more solid and stable for daily use, and cemented Android as my go to mobile OS. Yet, with  Marshmallow I still felt a bit jealous of iOS on the looks side of things.

As such, I'm still on the Android side. So, a couple of weeks ago I change my device to one running Android Oreo, the version 8.1 to be precise. And Alas, Android finally came around and it looks just as good as it works. I just changed the stock launcher, since I prefer to use Evie with Flight Lite icons.

Android has become my favorite mobile OS, so much so that the only thing I'd consider changing would the the brand of device I use it on. Android has showed that it the OS that's better suited for how I use my smartphone and that allows me to customize its looks and feel to my personal preferences.
