Question Why would someone buy a Samsung Android phone instead of iPhone?

Why would someone buy a Samsung Android phone instead of iPhone? Has anyone heard from friends or relatives that bought Samsung Android phone and why would they do that? Any advantage that Android phone shows over iPhone?

The same reason people ask us why we bought an iPhone over a BlackBerry or similar device.

To be different, just like you did with that font and blue text. It's not necessarily a good thing, it hurts my eyes.

No - I don't need to borrow trouble.

I know a lot of people (mainly younger teens her in the UK) that bought other phones because currently we have to sign up for a minimum 18 month contract, at Ł35 p/m

Samsung et al, offer Ł20 p/m contracts on half decent devices that do all the stuff kids want them to do, and on a 12 month contract - or a more affordable pay and go option.

Price for me plays a huge part.
