After playing around with the Galaxy S8 Plus, I was tempted to make the switch. In fact, a relatively small percentage of users end up switching from iOS to Android and vice versa each year. In a recent article, the Wall Street Journal cited stats from market researcher Consumer Intelligence Research Partners, which reported that 11 percent of former Android users bought an iPhone in 2016 while 15 percent of former iPhone users switched to Android. Of course, iPhone users aren't all switching from an iPhone to a Samsung phone; they're moving to several different Android vendors (LG and ZTE also picked up market share last year, according to the same WSJ story).
So, will the Galaxy S8 move the needle on those "switch" numbers?

Here are a few reason I might switch. Rumor has it that Apple is going to release three new iPhones this fall. Two of them will be refreshes of the current iPhones -- basically, the iPhone 7S and 7S Plus -- while the "new" flagship model with all the new bells and whistles and rumored curved screen will cost upwards of $1,000. (When you consider that the 256 GB iPhone 7 Plus already costs $969, £919 or AU$1,569, it's really no stretch.). I'm willing to bet that phone will be very similar to the Galaxy S8 Plus in that it will have a high screen-to-phone-size ratio (translation: it will be an iPhone 7 Plus screen in an iPhone 7 body). But I'm not sure I want to pay $1,000 for a phone. By September we should see some discounts on the Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus, which currently list for about $750 (£689, AU$1,200) and $850 (£779, AU$1,350) respectively, depending on which carrier you buy from.
