Having started with a Samsung phone and after that having moved to a pixel, I can definitely assert that this was the right path for me. As an iPhone user, I found that moving to a Samsung Galaxy phone helped me bridge the gap between Android and iOS. It made my move to the pixel much easier. I do agree, however, that pixel phones definitely are more stable with TalkBack than what I experienced with my Galaxy. Mind, it was the Galaxy S10 which I used for a number of years, so, in fairness, I do not know whether newer models of the Galaxy phones are much more stable with TalkBack. So I was still a firm, go with the Galaxy first and then move to a pixel. Sharing all this info for what it's worth.

The article was interesting, I don’t find talkback to be sluggish at all on my Pixel phones, I can’t speak for other brands of phones such as Samsung.

No, they don’t have that anymore. All operating systems have their issues, and I still am not happy with android although I have one. For me, Apple is still better, despite certain issues.

They are unnecessary ten year old childish sounds that the phone makes while you are swiping the touch screen. I had a Samsung 7 that I hated because I could not figure out how to get rid of the earcons without getting rid of all sound.
But, good news.  It looks like they can be adjusted now.

Do the Android phones still have all of the irritating earcons that they had around 5 years ago?

I had an android tablet for a while and like the Apple platform better. Actually, probably the reason for that is that I have just gotten used to the Apple platform, so do not want to learn something else, whenever I already know something that works for me. My guess is that one is as good or as bad as the other.

So I have seen a comment in a few message threads now where people say that somethings are easier to do in or on an android device as opposed to an Apple device so I am curious what sort of things are easier to do an android as opposed to Apple so far, I have found Apple pretty easy to use and very intuitive so I am curious what do some of you think is easier with an android device my only experience with an android type device is an Amazon fire tablet, and I liked the Apple gestures much better. The only thing I really liked about the fire tablet was that there was a virtual home button right on the screen that you could always have access to. Sometimes. I kind of wish that Apple would incorporate something like that into their devices.
