I mean with the same amount of money, I have a big screen (which I don’t get with the pioneer), I get maps (which I don’t get with pioneer), I keep the factory look of my car (which... well you get the point) and I have access to a huge app library, with useful apps like torque etc.

I bet pioneer has better sound processing chip. But I don’t think that the Android HU is that far off... these things have come a long way in the last year, due to demand and the smoother Experience newer Android flavors (7.0, 8.0) offer.
Time and usage will tell. I will keep you updated.

Poweramp will be in my app list for sure. Thanks for the recommendation.
Also, does anyone of you has to recommend a better EQ app? I haven’t use the stock thought yet because I don’t have the HU in my hands, so I don’t know if I need a better one anyway

Congrats on the purchase! I think you'll be pleased. Poweramp has all the EQ you'll need. It has a 10 band equalizer plus all kinds of filters etc. Once you get the unit installed and PowerAmp loaded, there are a few settings in Poweramp and your system settings that I can help you with. To reiterate what ern-diz said, a bit more power is better. Since you've already installed speakers, that's the hardest part of an audio upgrade. I bet that you'll be looking at an amp, sub and tweeters before long! Haha. Trust me, it would make a world of difference. There are some good 4 channel mini amps in the 50/75 RMS x 4, CEA-2006 approved category that rock. If you go that route, I can make some suggestions on budget gear that's pretty good quality (Clarion, Kenwood, Korean-made Dual amps, NVX etc, no Boss/Pyle gear here LOL)
