I think it depends on the phone.

The Google Pixel series seems pretty solid for reliability. I have a Pixel 7 Pro and it's been really good so far in terms of software and build quality. I strongly prefer it to my iPhone 13 Pro, which I'm currently selling off.

But iPhone vs Samsung Galaxy? iPhone wins by a mile. I never got used to the custom interface Samsung loaded onto those phones, and hated that it included Samsung-specific apps that just duplicated those already available by default on stock Android.

Pixels had a defect where emergency calls didnt work with MS teams installed. Both platforms wither under the lights

They still have problems with emergency calls.

I have an iPhone 13 Pro. I found that Android is almost a brick the moment you lose an Internet connection where as the iPhone is still productive and I can do stuff offline and it'll sync everything later no problems.

That is a complete dealbreaker for me for Android. Also, Google.

I mainly use my phone for three things:

1. Pleco

2. Wechat

3. Kindle app

Pleco (a dictionary) and Kindle (an ebook reader) work fine offline. Why wouldn't they?

Wechat, of course, can't do anything offline, because it's communication software. It is not even clear what "use wechat offline" would mean.

Android itself obviously works equally well whether you're connected to the Internet or not. What do you mean by becoming "almost a brick"?
