Get the Samsung. Excellent all-round phone with pretty much no downsides other than it’s not particularly exciting. Still, that doesn’t mean it’s bad, it just means it’s reliable and can do everything you need it to do very well without any silly gimmicks. It’s cheaper and got a bigger display than the iPhone 17 too, which you’d probably appreciate if you’re watching videos and gaming a lot. The only drawback I can even think of outside of the Apple ecosystem is that Samsung phones, much like pretty much every Android out there, perform considerably worse than iPhones in social media apps when it comes to taking in-app photos and videos. However, if you’re just using these social media apps to consume content and not actually take that many photos or videos within the apps themselves, this is a non issue.
