Should I change from IOS to Android?

Hi,
Recently, I've been thinking about getting a new phone. I'm currently using an iPhone 5, which has become outdated now. So I've been thinking if I should get an Android or the iPhone 6s. I'd love to try Android for a while, I've had the iPhone 5 for 4 years now.
So, what I'm asking is that should I move from iOS to Android and if yes, then which brand, which phone? I'm not the sharpest pencil at this. I created an account on this forum extra for this post, I'm talking about a phone that I will have to stick with for the next few years.
Thank you!
 
As to whether you should switch from iOS to Android, my first thought is that if you have to ask you probably shouldn't.

If you do decide to change you have to decide what you want. With Apple, that's not a problem. It's like Henry Ford saying, "You can have any color Ford you want as long as it's black."

Consider what your priorities are. For games you might want a really large screen. For cameras, you have a lot of options and most are different. Some are dual lens, some are larger pixel, some have OIS. If you have trouble keeping your phone out of water then waterproofing is a biggie. You also have a wide range for price.

And, fortunately, you have a wide range of material to read to learn about Android as an OS and about the phones that run Android.

Lastly, take a look at YouTube. I doubt you could consider a phone that doesn't have a hands-on review on YouTube. They have a lot of comparisons between phones and between iOS and Android.

So, enjoy. Oh, and if you decide to go with Android, prepare yourself for an overwhelming number of options for apps.
 
I use a iPhone for work and I have an Android for personal use.
I hate the iPhone, it's very minimalist compared to Android. There's pretty much nothing you can't do on Android.
I can't recommend a phone but don't buy anything below $200

Yes
 
How tied to Apple are you? You are going to have to start from scratch with all of your apps again (paid and free). My nephew recently moved from Android to iPhone (he's 13 so...) and all I can say is that Android is so much better :D
 
I strongly suggest to buy and spend a money for a Nexus brand. Not Nexus 5X for bootloop issue, N6P is ok or Pixel. Reason !? Is updated constantly and overall good hardware.
