Your first issue which is evident from your post is that you think Android = Samsung and vice versa. Thats not how android works.

To answer your question, I like android, but Im on a degoogled operating system called /e/os. Granted it might not be for you if you dont care about privacy (why tho?) but just the fact that anyone can take stock android and do stuff like create a whole new (degoogled in this case) operating system is so much better then iOS
