I finally found an Android phone that makes me want to ditch my iPhone

The iPhone 14 Pro is an incredible smartphone. It's been my phone of choice for the last few months — and there's very little I dislike about it. The size is perfect, it's ridiculously fast, the display looks great ... I could go on and on. Simply put, it's a phone that's done everything I've asked of it, and it's given me very little reason to look for a new go-to smartphone.

But that's starting to change. I recently wrapped up my review of the Motorola Edge Plus (2023), and the more I sit back and reflect on my time with the Android phone, I've started to realize something.

Your phone may make a loud sound today — here’s why

Those living or vacationing in the United Kingdom should be ready for a nationwide cell phone alert that's going to happen today and will cause your phone to make a loud noise. The alert, scheduled for Sunday, April 23, is a simple test for the government's emergency alert system, so there's no reason to be alarmed. However, make sure you're ready for it. Otherwise, it might catch you off guard.

Nationwide alarms aren't a new thing; we've seen them used over the years, broadcast across TV and radio stations. But as the world has started relying on smartphones more, emergency alarms have needed to catch up with the technology of the time, hence today's test, which will coincide with some big nationwide events including the London Marathon 2023 and Premier League soccer.
