Title: Long-time iOS user considering switch to Android - Need advice on $1000 flagships

Body:

Hey everyone, I'm looking at phones around the $1000 price point and would love some input. I've been an iOS user for years but I'm seriously considering making the jump to Android this time.

Here's what I'm looking at:

iPhone 17 Pro - The safe choice since I'm already in the ecosystem

Samsung Galaxy S25 - Hearing good things about this generation

Pixel 10 Pro - Probably crossing this one off the list due to the stability issues I've been reading about (the 911 call failures, overheating problems, etc.)

Nothing Phone - The design looks really cool, but I'm not sure if they have anything in this price range

For those who've made the switch from iOS to Android (or vice versa), what would you recommend? Any major gotchas I should know about? And is the Nothing Phone even worth considering as a daily driver at this price point?

Thanks in advance!

Yeah but this is a "banking list", which is a different thing entirely from a "contactless payment compatibility" list.

yes, which is why I wrote that several of the apps here got that. it's banking list with all sorts of money apps. if you take a look you'll notice several are not bank apps. The apps that have contactless payment options here should work is the point.

I have no idea what kind of apps they are. iCard seems to be some kind of CC app that uses Google Pay.
