Funnily enough I switched from an iPhone 6 to a Nexus 6P, and found Android (now on Oreo) to have both the better UI and being more snappy in its handling.
That snappiness was surprising to me since according to some people on twitter nobody should ever buy an Android phone because of the relatively shitty CPU. IME the superior CPU of the iPhone doesn't make much of a difference, except if you're benchmarking CPU-heavy javascript I guess.
Considering you feeling Android being cheap: To give some perspective, in my country(Germany) people regularly forgo iPhones for the newest Samsung flagship, even though they are more or less priced the same. I don't think they would choose the cheap feeling one.

Thom Holwerda of OSNews feels similar (http://www.osnews.com/share/29402/Apple_s_A10_Fusion_benchma...).
