Times have become quite peculiar for iPhone owners in Russia. You can no longer install mobile banking apps, VK, Max, Avito from the App Store, and trying to catch developers’ feeble attempts to release an app under a different name is a dubious endeavor. After all, it will be removed again, which means push notifications and updates will stop working too. So it turns out you’re paying a premium price for a phone but getting more problems than you would with a budget device. I once again caught myself thinking that today it’s far more honest to just get an Android and stop overthinking it. The only question remaining is — which smartphone to buy so that it’s definitely no worse than an iPhone. That’s exactly why we put together this interactive test: answer a few questions about your habits, budget, and what annoys you about phones — and it will suggest one, two, or three models that actually suit you. Let’s go.
Choosing the perfect smartphone for yourself is easier than it seems
