My work phone is a Galaxy S-5. My personal is an iPhone 7.
The only thing I use the Galaxy for is crime scene photos when not needing a real CS Photographer. Period. Mine sits in my truck on the passenger seat.
I tried to like it, but iOS is soooooo much easier and friendlier. The Android platform will constantly try to integrate anything "Google" that you may use- pulling personal things like gmail into it's web if you are not careful - not cool with a LE work phone. Might as well use my iPhone....
Oh, they also gave us Nexus tablets to file reports in the field. What a joke- also on an Android platform.

Some of the benefits of mobile technology might not be as exciting to you guys in the US because your MDT capacity is far greater than ours but nationally Australian police forces are starting to stumble into the 21st century.

Queensland are currently considered the ones to follow in this regard. They have about 2850 iPads/iPhones issued in a police force of just under 12 000 members and the members that have the devices are saving an average of 30 minutes a shift. They are able to serve things like tickets and banning notices by email or text message, collect evidence and store it in the field.
The potential for streamlining procedures is huge and I'm looking forward to the technology finally making it down to my neck of the woods.
