I feel exactly the same. The only smartphones I ever owned were Android (and a single Windows phone), but my experience with the S6 was the same as with your S7 - and the loss of the headphone jack didn't matter to me, since the one in my S6 ceased to work consistently about a month after my warranty ended. The X feels like a device at the cutting edge, FaceID is the closest I feel to "intuitive computing" outside mixed reality devices - there is almost no tangible barrier between you and the connected digital environment. But it's also stable, fast, and as you said "out of the way." I miss some aspects of Android's action tray and notifications, but have been far more impressed by the ways iOS is leaps and bounds ahead as a general daily user experience. And I say all this as a .NET developer who daily drives Windows on my desktop and laptop!

I suppose that was a bit off the subject at hand, but I was really surprised at how much better the iPhone experience feels than Android. More on topic, I really don't think this kind of crowing over technical details will help the platform any more than flexing about camera megapixel resolution or processor clock speed does. Android needs to make strides in its user experience as a daily computing device to replace iOS for me now, and I also haven't noticed any issues with the speed of the web. I suspect if there were any differences, the rest of the experience would make them unnoticeable to me.
