Unsure and confused about my next steps
So I switched to a Google pixel 10 Pro XL from being an IOS user since iPhone 5C (I was rocking an iPhone 15 pro max) I made a lot of decisions making to make this switch and I am still in my return window as I was going to give myself around 10 days since T-Mobile gives you 2 weeks. I am enjoying my new experience, things that I do miss from iPhone is iMessage and general aesthetic of iPhone, The thinner bezels, my photos, the videos, and the seamless blendability of apps on iPhone, I preferred the emojis on iPhone as well.
I have been liking my experience Google pixel however, like the dual tasking that I can do with split screen, ultra wide shots look sharper, I also really like the Google keyboard and text to speech is way better than on iPhone. My biggest reason to switch was for the camera, I thought I really liked the way the pictures came out, I looked at countless videos of reviews of both iPhone 17 PM and Google pixel 10 Xl and I really liked it, they said that the pixel is mor of a pick up and shoot phone but I'm not really getting that experience.
I have been fiddling with settings, changing things to make it better, but my iPhone 15 PM does it better more often times than not and I don't touch any settings on there. I like taking zoom pictures especially of my dog and it looks better on my iPhone.
I have been doing camera testing on my new pixel and iPhone and I have realized that my pictures turn out better and don't blur like they do on Google pixel. The night pictures are 10x better on iPhone even with Google pixels night mode on. I don't really know what I'm doing wrong with this experience, but I feel like I already did all this effort to switch it would feel stupid to switch back and get the iPhone 17 Pro Max.
I really would just like some thoughts in here. Thank you for taking the time to read this.
