Android does not do the 'phone' part right. I constantly complain of a friend with his new expensive s23 or whatever that acts like a cheap phone whenever he gets in a group call and my whole group complains of the ear shattering noise and artifacts from his side immediately (nothing at all wrong with all of our iphones). It was bad enough we couldn't do higher quality facetime audio together, but the expensive phone's hardware on wasn't even good for various apps we tried to talk through.
From another thread they aren't even good at web browsing. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39729397 the entire ecosystem of Android is a mostly poorly cobbled together mobile Linux computer aiming to lower costs as much as possible to sell you ads. Notice how older iphones with worst specs are still working fine?
Still my Samsung S3 with it's forward thinking 2gb of ram in 2012 (4x the 512 in the iPhone 4s) is still sometimes being used as a Linux computer for me in 2024. Awful mic on it then as well.
