Budget Android phones aren’t actually all bad (and they’re getting better)

While I’ve primarily been an iPhone user for the past decade — my daily driver is an iPhone 16 Pro — I cut my teeth on Android phones. Initially, I was hesitant to even spend money on a smartphone, but I quickly realized I was being left behind, and Android phones were the most affordable option. My first smartphone ever ended up being a budget LG model. It was slow, with a tiny amount of storage, and wouldn’t run many of the apps other Android phones could handle.
