Google's executive chairman Eric Schmidt has written a 900-word guide to help users switch from iPhone to Android.

Schmidt shared tips and best practices on Google+ for abandoning Apple's ecosystem in favor of Google's, the Verge reports.

Schmidt's guide tells Android newcomers how to add a Google account to their devices, find apps, import their contacts, sync their music, and swap their SIM card out of the iPhone and into an Android phone.

The latest high-end phones from Samsung, Motorola and the Nexus 5 have better screens, are faster, and have a much more intuitive interface, Schmidt said.

He also suggested users to use Chrome, and not Safari, as it's safer and it's free.
