I wish you luck with that. I've had countless android devices over the years from top end to budget and non just work as an iPhone does, all had some issue whether it be battery life or slowing down and required some degree of tinkering. I mean we're at the stage now where Android phones are requiring 4gb+ of ram just to run smoothly, it says a lot that about the state of Android, not to mention the malware that seems to be reported every other month.

True nothing runs quite like an iPhone, I've owned many Samsung, HTC phones. The only Android that was pretty smooth was the LG Nexus 5. But it still lacked in all other areas compared to iPhone

My favourite was the Nexus 4, the only issue I had was crappy battery life due to the battery being such a small capacity. Its a shame really as I like the customisation etc with Android, I mean iPhone is just boring really.

Battery life on my nexus 5 wasn't great either. As far as Android goes it was easily the best, cleanest, leanest, most functional of all the Android phones I've owned. The phone could take a beating it never even got warm and was fast, no glitches it just did it. Was on par with iPhone as far as worry free performance.

Screen was beautiful and one of the best touch screens sensors out there, so responsive.

The reason I ditched it for iPhone because the nexus 5 speaker is terrible, worst I've ever heard on aby smartphone, even turned all the way up could barely hear the thing.

The camera wasn't bad in video and picture quality , but nothing special as it over time started to have auto focus issues where I always had to manually struggle to keep it in focus while recording video.

If the speaker and camera were better I'd have to say it would of been one of the best phones I've ever used. I don't like Android, but LG did a good job on it.

IOS can be boring and I about threw my iPhone 6 at the wall when I first got it... Took me a few days to fully figure it out not being familar with it and so familiar with Android... When I did figured the iPhone out I liked it much better than Android...
 
its not the price per se that i dont like. Its the fact that it keeps getting more and more expensive with every generation at least in euro while the parts actually get cheaper.

I bought the iPhone 6 the week it got released (64Gb) for 799€. Now the 16GB 6S is 749€ and the 64GB one 854€

Parts don't really get cheaper. All that silicon takes money to design and nobody knows if anything or everything in the chips is new or reused.
