My last Android workhorse was moto defy.
After 14 years, the one that made me use Android as my main phone again was the OPPO find n5.

Jul 13, 2025
For an iPhone user for more than ten years, switching to Android for almost a month, the OPPO Find X8s selected is much smaller than expected, and who would have thought that Android has become the main machine, and I want to casually chat with everyone about the change in ideas in this process.
Why don't you stick to the iPhone anymore?
It can only be said that Apple has not been very enterprising in recent years, and I was looking forward to the annual press conference before, and it will be replaced with a new model at the first time, but I feel that there has been no change in the past few years, especially AI, there is nothing fun at the system level, it is more of an upgrade of the system version number, and at the same time, I don't like to be "kidnapped", watches, headphones, and computers are all a set of systems, and more of them are just to choose, which one I use to prevent being kidnapped deeper, and I think about whether to try Android to play and see.
The last phone was the 15 Pro Max, and the screen was very good for watching videos/articles, but in the summer it was really too big, especially in the shorts pocket, like a brick in the pocket, and it was very difficult to hold with one hand, especially if the fingers still had a little room to hold, so it was very fun.
Why did you choose the OPPO Find X8s in Android?
The first thing to consider is a small screen machine,You need to hold it with one hand,I went to the store and saw vivo X200 Pro mini、Xiaomi 15、OnePlus 13T、iPhone 16E,All of them are 6.3 or so machines,There is only OPPO in this screen perception,Especially the text rendering looks more refined,At the same time, the weight is the lightest of these 179g,The bezel is also the narrowest。
In fact, many times hinder iPhone users from migrating to Android, I think the first point should be the screen and fonts, people are habitual memory, suddenly see a screen that is different from the iPhone, especially Android's font rendering, basically persuade people to quit, because the reverse is also, I haven't used the iPhone for more than 20 days, and suddenly it's the same, and I feel very unaccustomed.
ColorOS 15's system is much more concise than I thought, and I played with the corresponding Xiaobu AI tool, there is a memory assistant, like a knowledge base of a large model, and you can call the software itself at the system level, Playability is very suitable for me, iPhone 16E is a little bit of a want to spray, it's actually more than 4000, and it's a 13 mold, but the back of 16E is actually very good-looking.
What are the advantages of Android and OPPO?
The first advantage,I think it's playability,Especially changing the font,Replace the system with the font of Cang'er Jinkai,It turns out that the font of my WeChat reading,Very comfortable,Immediately put the roughness of the original Android default font to the advanced。 And then there is a pain point for iPhone users, that is, many times domestic APP icons with psoriasis are glued with advertising slogans, Android can basically change the icon, and even you can change it to the same icon as Apple.
The second advantage is the convenience of the system,Optimization of various small details,Now I especially like to use AI assistants to help answer calls that I don't want to answer,For calls, you can use AI to record and summarize and analyze,Apple's good places have also been borrowed,For example, the Action button is quick to evoke,There are also small details in various systems,Side evoke,Three-finger screenshot、Scrolling screenshot、Screen recording can record multi-line sound、Application split screen, etc.,Of course, if you don't want to use it,You can also turn it off,Let him be very concise,The system comes with harassment interception、 Phone SMS recognition is also very convenient.
The third advantage is speed,ColorOS is really smooth,Very fast,There is also a speed is the network itself,In the elevator、The basement is still very sufficient,Especially when migrating mobile phone data,Direct 90M from the iPhone,Less than half an hour the data is almost delivered,Here is a breakthrough in my original idea,It turned out that Apple has been compromised for so many years。
The fourth is that many things can be turned off, for example, with the help of gkd, you can easily turn off the system's ads, the system itself can be set to turn off a large number of things, and even the navigation bar at the bottom can be hidden.
The fifth advantage is that it is very cost-effective, the bezel of this machine is very narrow, very narrow, and it feels very good, especially when I finally bid farewell to the big bangs and the big island, the concise pie likes it very much, although the screen fingerprint unlock is not as good as the unlocking of the iPhone, but it is also easy to get used to, the machine plus the national supplement is more than 3600, compared to the 9000 PM, the cost performance is still much higher.
The sixth is the speed of super fast charging, I never thought of it when I used the iPhone before, don't charge the phone at night in the future, wake up directly in the morning, brush your teeth and wash and eat breakfast when the electricity is full, 5700 mAh, 80w charging, you can really see the power rise, which is very cool.
So what are the disadvantages of Android phones?
The first drawback, mobile phones are more likely to get hot than iPhones, especially when downloading multiple apps in a row, syncing a lot of data, and shooting high-capacity videos, it is obvious that heating is a small pain point, but it is okay to use it normally.
The second shortcoming,The consistency of the system, the software compatibility aesthetics are not as good as the iPhone,But ColorOS is very diligent,Do a lot of compatibility with its own system,Compatibility, especially the compatibility and adaptation of various apps,Most of them have done very well,But occasionally there is a small part of the consistency,Especially in the font and bottom bar compatibility of some foreign apps themselves,There is still a little acceptance cost for obsessive-compulsive disorder,Apple's ecology is still the first in the mobile phone。
The third shortcoming, in terms of system refinement and saving, the sound quality of the external amplifier is actually not as good as the iPhone, but fortunately, there are not many external amplifiers, and it is still acceptable, for example, although it is said to be a large 5700 mAh battery, in fact, it does not have the feeling that the power is not large but very durable like the pro max, but there is no problem with meeting the normal use of the day.
The fourth shortcoming,In the linkage with the Apple system,Although OPPO is nicknamed Ophone,It belongs to the Apple ecology that has done a very good job,For example, Live Photos、File transfer、Available AirPods, etc. are still good,But for example, I want to forward the SMS verification code to the Mac,Files are naturally transferred to the Mac without installing the App,The original Apple's memo、Todo software is not easy to sync,But these can actually slowly change the use of the system。
What are the possible concerns about changing systems?
I'm used to using the iPhone's software and I'm worried about not having it on Android? This is okay, if you are not the kind of person who has installed a lot of Apple niche software on your mobile phone, you can basically find regular software, and even configure the font you like, which is really comfortable overall.
At the same time, I am worried about whether the Android machine will become stuck after a year, especially many iPhone users have always had this stubborn idea, I was too, in fact, now the Android machine has solved this problem, and even you will feel that it is much smoother than the latest version of the non-flagship iPhone, I feel that it is not a big problem to use it for more than two years, because even if it is an iPhone, you will often have the desire to change the phone after 2 years.
There are also people who are worried about security,This,It's true that Android's customizability is stronger than Apple,Through the download and installation from Google Play or the system comes with,It's actually good not to mess around,But for example, some company employee office software、Abnormal channel downloads still need to pay attention to security,Maybe in the future,You can buy a spare digital version of the iPhone to solve this problem。
In short, this attempt, I think the experience is positive, and it has changed some of its own inherent views, of course, you can also try it, in case you get old in the future, and you have no interest in changing the phone.
