proper adblocking with AdAway
ability to patch official apps to remove ads and improve the usability with ReVanced
being able to root the device and use HttpToolkit to analyze the data that flows from apps to the web
extensive customization (I can choose my own launcher and keyboard application)
proper file management, especially with Total Commander
watching Dolby Vision .mkv files with mpv
price (iPhones are all way too expensive)
