One more thing you forgot about the keyboards is that on Samsung or Pixel you can add numbers to the top while on IOS you have to constantly switch to the numbers and then back to text. That's a huge thing for me
You can hold the “numbers” key - hold and swipe, release at your desired number and you’re straight back to the letters (so no tapping back and forth) have just learned that after 10+ years of using iPhones… (on and off)
He trying to make points for ios
@@bardz0sz We can do that on android as well but I'd rather have the number row.
@@bardz0sz as a former iPhone yes this is true, 3 years that i switched to Android, took me like 3 weeks to get useto the new OS, i also have a picture on my keyboard keys from my phone, too cool, just recently i got the S22 ultra, s-pen is so much fun, i dont think ill go back to IOS.
Base on my experience iOS' keyboard are more accurate on tapping letters than on Android.
Sorry for my English. 😅
Team One UI FTWWW!!!!. Thumbs up👍
Plus one vote for the Samsung phones 👌🏻
I feel as if Normal Android (Pixel OS) is the cleanest and the best, with ios coming in second.
One UI is amazing!!!
Samsung 🤩
One ui for the money
What you didn't mention in the video is on one UI there is a secure folder option, plus you have the ability to create custom folders within the app draw (the latter for me is an absolute winner)
I would only use it to bypass family link🗿🗿🗿
exactly,i love that option
There's a few things you didn't mention.
One UI offers the most flexible theming engine on any phone. Unlike on many phones where it only reaches to curves of the panels and icons, Samsung, through a specific Samsung app is able to change the system UI like the recent apps panel and so on.
Both Android devices have a similar feature to IOS's Control Center long press the icon to get into a shortcut window in that icon. The difference with the Android devices being easier to access and can also allow you to go right into the settings page of that setting.
You also have the ability to customize the picture quality on Samsung devices as well as the ability to hide certain apps and lock them. Not only that, Samsung now offers 4 years of software updates which is now closer to Apple and a year more than Pixel's.
Personally, I would prefer to use IOS on smaller devices like 6.0inch or smaller. And Android for bigger devices, specifically OneUI due to this being probably the most convenient UI to use. Everything is accessible to one hand and while some features on Android might take sometime to be able to reach it, you can be sure that OneUI will already have it. There will also be a pop-up that will appear on the bottom right corner when you rotate your phone from portrait to landscape which is very handy.
And despite OneUI taking a bit longer with the software updates, you can already expect alot of what came to Pixel to be already in your phone and there are alot of them, like those that I mentioned.
The reason why I would prefer IOS on smaller Devices is due to it being complicated. Despite IOS devices being generally more powerful than Android and despite it having more optimized versions of the same apps found on Android, I find IOS to be....inconvenient on larger screens. The fact that you have to take multiple steps to be able to access one simple settings shortcut is....annoying, especially on larger screens. Which is why I would prefer to use it on smaller screens where I can really just do things with one hand.
And, a few things you missed on the security front.
Android smartphones has actually had alot of these features way before they became mainstream. Like asking you if would you allow an app to Track, access files, cameras, mic, etc. It's just that, before, it wasn't really expanded. There's alot of things that Android offers in terms of security which can also be found on IOS like the general Alert Pill that shows up whenever your using an App that's using your mic, camera, and such. This also shows the app that's using it with just a tap.
You can also set the android devices to always ask the user if they want the app to access certain features of the phone. And it has three options from always to, just once, and never.
To add more, Android has Google assistant.
On the messaging front... Yeah, I would prefer the imessages but, seeing that there are many alternatives that works for me, Android's are fine too.
On android, specifically, ONE UI. You have a shortcut toggle for the quick settings menu when playing games.
While I have used experienced both softwares, I haven't really delve much into IOS since, I don't own an iPhone. Though I am aware of its inconveniences and advantages.
Also, for the "Android being easier to hack" folks out there. There's a bajillion android models out there, all with their own taste, baseband version and ID of android. Even if the hacker find the model of my phone, they have to look into every single ID and baseband version.
That's why Hackers tend to hack IOS devices more since they're in general, easier to hack as a whole with IOS being available to only APPLE iPhones.
Though on the side note, Android is more vulnerable to malware but, Knox got you covered against that. Not sure about other android smartphones though.

In the Netherlands literally no one cares about iMessage... Everyone from your grandparents to kids in schools use WhatsApp! If you don't have WhatsApp it's like you're living under a rock. Kinda funny to see how big of a deal iMessage is in the US! I'm using a regular Pixel 6 as my daily, great phone so far and love Android 12! Amazing video as always Mike! Interesting to see all of the different features of each software! Thanks and keep it up with the great content!
You do know whatsapp is owned by Facebook?
it's the same in most of the world, including India. Nobody cares about iMessage outside of US and maybe Canada.
@Carl Gunderson I honestly have no idea... Everyone just started using it, I did what others did and actually liked it a lot more about 10 years ago, just after the release when it wasn't owned by Facebook yet... In the last decade it's just almost become part of the Dutch community. We do everything via WhatsApp, work, school, friends etc. Believe it or not, we even have signs near the traffic signs that say: "Watch out! WhatsApp neighborhood prevention". Everyone in the area is in the WhatsApp group and can warn each other if something suspicious is happening...
This is the same in the UK and pretty much everywhere except America
@Carl Gunderson WhatsApp is the main messenger everywhere pretty much. iMessage means nothing around the world because Android is much popular outside of America
Gotta give Samsung credit. To go from TouchWiz to One UI within 7 years is impressive
Agree, also dont forget about grace ui, a good start for samsung!
they had samsung experience in between
You said Wiz 😆
@@bruthacoolsamsung experience was quite nice for the time
iPhones still don't have commas and full stops on their keyboard without having to press the 123 key? That would drive me mad!
I went from iOS to Android. I was pleasantly suprised the improvement the OS has had in the past 2 years! For the time being, i am not going back to the iPhone. I think it's boring and nothing changes.
Finally!!! I feel like iPhone has nothing new to offer. That's why they just keep changing colors and shape. Because they have no new ideas. Samsung and all the other Android phones are constantly making leaps and bounds.
@@Sirach144 leaps and bounds where? Lol. The lockscreen in iOS 16 is a bigger change than anything android’s had for the last five years

22:14 Samsung now offers 4 years of OS updates and 5 years of security patches which is more than Google offers
I was looking for this comment. Idk when this video was made but Samsung has surpassed Google as of now
And Samsung's updates are even faster and more reliable than Pixels have been lately.
4years and 5years security patch
4 years of OS updates isn't on all their devices, just flagships iirc.
The newer midrange are supported the 73 A53 A33 and so on
It's hard for me to use a phone that doesn't have One UI. So many useful features. Good lock and one hand operation are hard to give up.
it's hard for me to switch to another device aside from Samsung because of the link to windows feature
This is where I find myself too. It's hard to switch away from Samsung because they offer way more useful features than most other phones I've used.
@@Marlon_J in 4 months pixel phones will get Android 13 ( not beta ) . Samsung will get it in more than 6 months . What do you mean faster ?
@@spika1187 who told you ?
Thank god my 11 pro max is jailbroken so I can do all that cool stuff and more..
In Samsung you also have a better photo editing options with filters, you can erase objects in the pictures you’ve taken in Samsung’s gallery along with options to erase reflections and shadows. The object eraser works so well and I really love it.
Thanks Mike, very informative and exactly what I was looking for. you really should be doing this comparison every year.
In Samsung One UI, you can turn off Samsung Pay from showing up on homescreen. You can keep it enabled in the lockscreen and when the screen is turned off. This can be done on Samsung Pay settings, but yeah, for first time users it can be an annoyance. It annoyed me as well before figuring it out.
Yeah it would be impossible for me to go back to other brands only to regret that it is missing those things.
Or you could just straight up uninstall Samsung Pay
I use GPay on my Samsung G21U. No need to open anything. I could be in the middle of a youtube video and just tap my phone and bam, paid, the video resumes like nothing happened. SO convenient. However, I do miss having the magnetic strip feature. Once in a while, a place won't accept tap-to-pay and I often leave my wallet at home.
Reasons why I personally prefer OneUI:
• Unrivaled inventory of features
• top-tier customisation
• GoodLock
• Dex
• Bixby ROUTINES (automation for your phone and smart home appliances)
• Split-screen and multitasking
• OneHand Operation+ and system-wide focus on ergonomics and ease of use
• Colourful, yet simplistic and clutter-free design language. Love the translucent effects and animations in OneUi 4
• Samsung's ecosystem is really good: I have an A51, TabS7+, Buds pro, galaxy watch 4, Samsung TV and some home appliances that work with the SmartThings app. The only downside is that their laptops aren't as good as the competition, but almost all the ecosystem functions will work with any Windows computer
Good mention with Bixby routines. Having that level of automation makes life so much easier. From repetitive tasks to little things like turning on auto rotation when on TH-cam, it great!.
With their laptops, as soon as they create a powerhouse laptop be will be a rival to the macbooks.
Also, I have a Windows computer and can say it has been great with my s10. I always use the Phonelink app (previously Your phone app) to access apps on my phone while at the desk.
@@dynimites omg those are exactly my thoughts! Their laptops just aren't good enough yet 😕 been using Dex on my Tab S7 as a replacement and it works for my needs but having a nice laptop would be nice
I can not agree more
I love Bixby routines
How come people aren't talking about Secure Folder
That's a big feature I can't look pass
Excellent, well done, you've saved me hours trying to find this information.....
Excellent, very well rounded, and unbiased video. Thank you!
Samsung ecosystem is VERY robust: I have the Tab S7+, Galaxy Watch 4, Buds pro and A51 phone, SmartTags and a Samsung TV. They work together very well for synced notifications, alarms, notes, reminders; The Buds switch automatically between devices whenever you play content, there's app continuity between phone and tablet for Notes and Samsung Browser, Universal clipboard, Multi control between Tab and Galaxy book, quickshare, synced Gallery, using others devices to make calls with the sim card in another device (I make, answer and decline calls from my tablet), casting content to the TV is super easy and you can get notifications on the TV as well, native Universal Passwords using Samsung Pass, if one device connects to a WiFi network other devices will also connect automatically (e.g your Watch will connect to whatever network you have saved on your phone), etc.
damn, i think one ui is like ios based on android
Gotta upgrade that A series to an S series😂 I love Samsung but I hate the A series phones they're so clunky to me

Samsung now supports phones for longer than Google with updates
That doesn't make sense considering Google have the ultimate influence on something like One UI.
@@milanpatel2287 lol what you said doesn't make any sense
Samsung is now offering 4 years of os updates and 5 years of security
While google offers 3
Are you trying to argue a fact that Samsung literally announced in their unveiling 😂😂
@@milanpatel2287 It makes sense, its just business decision. If you want to have always up-to-date android with google you have to buy pixel phone every three years. On the other hand, if you want latest updates with samsung you'll need to buy their phones every 4 years.
@@milanpatel2287 they announce 4 years update during S22 launch event adding more 1 year than previous update support limit during Note 20 launch event (3yrs update in 2020)
Great video! Always wanted to see a side-to-side comparison between the three
Amazing video my guy. Really thorough with the features covered.
I enjoyed the video. As a lifelong Android user I recently started using the iPad mini and the iPhone 13 because I wanted to see what the difference in my experience would be. The number one thing that keeps me from making apple my number one device is the fact that I am so tied in to Google and their apps. The Google apps just work so much better on the Google phones than on the Apple phone. I guess that's the point Apple made their product to work with their ecosystems and that's fine. Also I use the Google Assistant for so much and I do voice dictation so much that Android just blows Apple away. The Google assistant is far superior to Siri in my opinion based upon my usage. I'll probably return my Apple products because Google does everything I need plus it gives me more features and greater customization of those features.
It' not an opinion. Google assistant is years ahead in A.I capabilities . The way it's integrated throughout the whole OS makes it one of its core features that for the moment there is no equal.
Yeah I got sick of ios, it's definitely not bad it's just so boring after a couple years
I still have my 13 pro max and now I got an s22ultra as my main phone
Right now it's really good, couple glitches and missing features, hope they add a few things
But I love my s22ultra so far
@@bobbysworldrox I honestly like sticking to default apps and OS's
One UI is nearly perfect only major issues are
-No background sounds
-phantom touches
-much worse battery than 13PM
those are my only concerns
@@Unknownuserhtps i understand. Try it out to play with however. I think it's what android should adopt. It's incredibly intuitive.
@@bobbysworldrox I think I may have seen a comparison
Nova launcher 7 or something
I love all the options it gives you as well, is it hard to install a custom UI? If so I don't wanna go through the hassle if you know what I mean 😅
great video, but you missed a few things:
1:46 You can turn off the feature that makes samsung pay open on the home screen. It's not locked in
6:42 you can change the grid size way more freely using home up on goodlock
8:00 Samsung has quickshare that can link and send things between your samsung devices (galaxybook, tablet, phone, etc). They also have the constant popup that appears when opening your earbuds
15:40 You can customize the samsung keyboard too with goodlock
There are other things I could point out, but then this would get kind of long. You gave pixel and ios more credit, while completely disregarding its suite of features and advantages. Like how oneui literally has up to 5 years of support now, but gaining updates faster and faster. These updates are also more reliable and stable lately than what goes on in the pixel. This a comparison, so make it a fair one.
Can you get rid of Samsung’s assorted bloatware, or do they still force their OEM apps on people?
@@MisterCaution Have you used a recent Samsung? You'll know those apps are useful and most users prefer their apps over Google's
@@raynerkefe4413 I was asking if you can remove them, or if Samsung still forces OEM apps to remain on their phones even if the user does not use them.
@@MisterCaution Yes you can
One UI has 4 years.
Not 5 years.
Security updates are 5 years.
Two different things.
Great video. I was looking to see the interfaces of iphones.
Love and respect from Bangladesh 🇧🇩
That ''hiccup'' on one ui is actually a feature you can toggle on or off.
Notice when you're on the home screen a card appears on the bottom of your screen. That is your default payment card on Samsung wallet formerly Samsung pay. it's basically an easy way to access it or the app in general and it quickly becomes second nature to unlock your phone then swipe up or just swipe up a few from the center of your screen regardless of what you had open to quickly open the app or make a payment.[NB: you can also set the card to appear on your lock screen but that is not on by default]
Mark another for One UI! I have an iPhone for work. Although it is simple, I find it to be a little too simple, somewhat basic. One UI really allows you to fully customize your device on almost every level, just the way you want it. iPhone is praised for its messaging (iMessage) and it's cameras. However, those days are long gone with the updated hardware and software. Google messages offers the same exact features as iMessage, and more. Also, One UI offers Nearby Share AND Quick Share, which is unique to Galaxy phones only, similar to quick drop. You also forgot to mention that Samsung will now roll out Android updates for 4 years and security updates for 5 years, as well as having the Google Now screen baked into the newer models. iPhone is too closed off, whereas both One UI and Android (Pixel UI) are open source, so it has a wider range of apps and features available to more devices. The Samsung ecosystem is also vast, they aren't simply limited to earpods and computational devices, as Samsung also offers home and kitchen appliances, which all connect. A TRUE ecosystem. I can run my washing machine, my Jet Bot Robo sweeper and smart TV, all from the Smart Things app on phone, laptop or tablet. There's just so many capabilities with One UI you cannot ignore!
Good point, I forgot about all the appliances samsung offers
I was thinking of switching to iOS only for iMessage but I think this confirmed for me that I would lose a lot features I'm fond of
I was not thinking of switching to iOS and this confirmed for me that I would literally go insane if I did.
It's not worth it android gives u more
I have a iPhone and I don’t care about iMessage to me it’s overhyped I just send and receive messages simple
Going ios just so ur friends can have a blue bubble with you is not worth it. You will lose alot if you switch to iphone
@@Hmongecho1 it was more the groupchat element because you cannot add others to existing mms chats
What a great video
You've made it a lot easier to make a decision on switching from or to another phone
Great video. Very balanced and does a great job of showing what people actually want to see. 👍
I've used all three. Pixel is my favorite. Call screening is awesome. You didn't mention Pixel's feature where it's always identifying songs playing. This is the biggest feature I miss when leaving Pixel. Samsung Dexis a killer feature, though. Best feature on iOS, imo, is the ability to turn on flashlight from the lock screen!
True! The song identifier is convenient
Exactly
That's what I like about oneplus, turning on flashlight by drawing a V on locked screen.
@@schwarzeneggerarnold1132 and their switch for muting it vibrating for silent mode.
FYI, you can customize the lock screen, at least on Samsung, to include the flashlight
Just a little correction : since several years Samsung have pushed really hard efforts to be on time with the updates. They have also announced longer software support as well as google in order to compete more with apple, without going to 5+ years of support (a shame).
Anyway, great video !
I remember having a brand new Samsung tablet that was perpetually 2 versions of Android OS behind Google. Never again.

@@PSYCHOV3N0M That’s great. But, my experience as an “OG Samsung” user is not forgotten. Sorry if it’s “ignorant” to not put my trust in a company that did me wrong just because they are doing better now. They used to suck.
This is the most level headed, unbiased and most complete comparison I have ever seen.
Samsung provides more updates than Google actually btw. 4 Android versions and 5 security updates.
I would love an updated UI comparison!😃
For side widgets on IOS, Samsung allows you to tap your lock-screen clock and see all your widgets from there, of course you can customize it.
OneUI for me
How come y'all aren't talking about "Secure Folder"
That's a big feature I can't look pass.

thank you
Just as an FYI, Samsung also offers universal clipboard feature. It also offers auto-Hotspot. I use both on my s22 ultra and Tab s8 Ultra.
1:37 you can disable that inside Samsung Pay>Settings>Quick Acess and Default card
I use iPhone 13 and I have been android user ever since before 13.
I have never liked the simplicity this much ever before and damn everything just works the way I intended things to work in my android phones, simple types. I always customised my android to extent that it can look synchronised within itself which it lacked in my opinion, just too much of assembling whereas IOS is in sync always.
I liked apple ecosystem too much that I being fond of gaming, changed my decision of getting gaming laptop to apple MacBook Pro and then got iPad 5th gen to compliment it recently.
I love it now
Yes it is a bit too simple but I love it.
can you please tell me which android did you used before 13?
Aw, man. I remember my month-long wait for a phantom violet s21+. I ended up with the black ultra. But it being ultra doesn't make up for its lack of violet XD. That color combo is the best!
some things you forgot to mention:
Samsung uses quick share as well which is by them
Samsung has there own ecosystem very similar to apple, and you seem to ignored it in this video or probably you were unaware
you didn't mention anything about Samsungs messages and how it works on other galaxy devices or google messages with there rcs
in the future, you should Acknowledge stuff like this and make sure you cover everything since it can be very misleading at times
It's almost like he trying to persuade the people towards Apple it's a lot of people on TH-cam that does that a lot of youtubers does that and now are being called out for the lies and misleading... and yes he said some thing I very disagree with that he wasn't honest on. Maybe he not a person that uses Android only Apple... but he lied when he said the galaxy lagg when the iPhone lagg and freezes up more... and there facts to that... 🤦♂️ its a few he was dishonest about.
For that reason this is the first and last time that I will watch a video from this guy...misleading to say the least...well. I just watched again but man, he has to get his Shit straight...
he even had to say somethings are exclusive to Samsung and they aren't. Pop up view for apps is on major phones now.
Also Google keyboard can restore deleted texts when typing. He made it seem like it's a feature apple has and Android lacks. He seems to be learning Android as well.
@@cantgetright888 true, S21+ first is an high-end phone and is the smoother experience with pixel, won't lag, and will have 5 years of SO updates
It's a like a lot of thing in general, North American people tend to think that everybody in the world do the same. I see a lot of American or Canadian who are so into iMessage or Airdrop whereas in Europe or West African, we majority use Whatsapp or Google Photos.
In my experience most people that get iPhone don't even know what the phone can do. They just get it because everyone else has one. I've shown people what their phones can do more than I ever thought I'd have to and I'm team samsung😅
I support this comment. Most people just follow the crowd.
@@SammyLeau it's ridiculous when we're talking about technology that costs as much as a laptop does. I don't care about the phone wars. Both phones are exceptional. I just like my features of android but other people think it's the worst thing in the world to not have a certain color text bubble😂 it's their only argument
@@tavonmccall1155 you hit it right on the nail. The blue bubble/green bubble crap, is the most childish thing I've ever heard. It's even sad that some adults think like that. I've had an iPhone before I went back to the Samsung Galaxy. Going back to Samsung was like a breath of clean fresh air.
So true. Bandwagon effect.
Facts. Same here and I'm Team Pixel. Apps on an iPhone are WORSE than using an Android especially a Pixel
You can turn the home screen swipe-up for Samsung Pay off, though.
You can also press the text underneath the icon to open a smaller menu on One UI
Very interesting, I learned a lot!
As for the iMessage question, I am an Android user in Canada and no, I would not buy an iPhone just for iMessage.
But unlike the US, we don't have Google providing unified RCS support regardless of carrier, and I am on a carrier that has no RCS support, therefore, I cannot use RCS whatsoever and am still using SMS/MMS.
Great video and btw, the pixel does allow you to have a pop-up view, you just have to enable developer settings, scroll to the bottom and there's a feature called enable freeform windows, although they are not as polished as samsung's.
iOS is still in 2013. Eight years of updates later it will still be last year. iOS hasn't really changed much since ios 7. Pixel UI (material you) is just too buggy
One UI is the best. Now they support more os updates which is a bonus
Very good and informative video! As for Samsung pay, you can disable the home screen shortcut and allow it to only activate from the lock screen. Someone has probably already said that, but there's definitely too many comments for me to read lol.
You helped me decide which system and ecosystem I want to be part of. Thanks
Each OS has its own benefits. Each has strengths and each has issues.
Hey Mike,
Good job with this video. Instant subscribe.
I've been looking for this kind of comparison for a long time.
Owning both 13 pro max and s22 ultra, I can easly say that One UI is by far the best(for me).
Another thing that bothers me is the fact that you do not have T9 on the ios dialer. Also, in the recent calls list, it is not easy to see the hour of the call. You simply have redundant information (eg. Yesterday).
You can change the Samsung Free with Google Discover from homescreen edit mode.
You can achieve the ios widgets screen (when you swipe left) on android as well.
Again, good job, all the best!
This is good. Little correction though: you can definitely use 3rd party keyboards on iPhone. I've been using gboard on mine for years and well as gif keyboards and there are plenty of other 3rd party keyboards you can use. And you can switch through them in the exact same way you showed on Android
Honestly, this is the type of review I was looking for. After being an android user from all the way back in 2012 till this very day where I'm daily driving a pixel 6 and an older Samsung Galaxy A71 which I use moslty for media consumption whilst im home so I don't kill the battery on my main Pixel phon, for a couple of weeks now, I've been leaning to the idea of getting an iPhone as my next primary daily driver. I'm sure it will be a massive adjustment for me as I've never used one before but after watching a ton of videos, especially this one and seeing how far the iOS has come, I'm willing to make the switch. One UI has come a very long way as well and I love all the features, new and old and while I love the pure android experience I'm getting on my Pixel, it's lacking a ton of features that one UI for example offers. Thank you for making and posting such an in depth video, you just gained a new sub. Now, I can confidently say that my next phone will be an iPhone 🤙
You can turn off the quick access gesture for Samsung pay in the app settings to prevent that annoying hiccup
I still believe that Samsung can be the best ecosystem, especially since they merged consumer electronics division and mobile division called DX "Device eXperience", I really look forward to this especially as having a family

I never liked IOS in the years I had an iPhone but since switching to a 13 pro max as my main I have realised that IOS is borderline unusable. No clipboard for pasted content, Stone Age file management , generally slow feeling UI not to mention I have been experiencing apps bugging out on a daily basis. I genuinely feel like this was made for people that only use Social media on there phones and nothing more and I am sadly not one of those. Btw I wanted to add that everything you mention that the Apple ecosystem can do is also available on Samsung. I would argue dex link on PC gives it a edge. Another mistake you made is when you said that the Pixel gets updates before Samsung does which In the last year isn’t true. It’s far closer then what you think and you would also mention that Samsung supports there phones for a longer period of time.
No clipboard? Then use Gboard bruh
@@nekogaming8461 The Gboard on ios sucks ass, and many apps switch it out for the defult regardless of which one i deafulted. Shit experience
Thank god my 11 pro max is jailbroken so I can do all that cool stuff and more..
''I genuinely feel like this was made for people that only use Social media on there phones and nothing more.'' I am one of those people for the most part but even I couldn't get my head around iOS. Moved to iOS after 10 years of android to see what the fuss is all about, returned back in 4 months, never to return again.
@@vikramnangia lol
Samsung has quick share. And samsung has a huge ecosystem that works really good 👍 samsung also has seamless earbud connection so you can connect your earbuds with different devices with out disconnecting it from the previous device
Airdrop is still better than quick share
@@nekogaming8461 Airdrop too is glitchy. It never connects first time between my friend's XS MAX and my iPhone 11 Max. Sam between his 13 Pro Max and my 11 Pro Max. Either he or I have to restart our phones to establish a connection. Even the connection get success transfers sometimes fails and most of the time very slow or get disconnects.
@@coolguypravara lol what are you on? update to the latest iOS then bc I never had to do that in my whole life
@@nekogaming8461 Updates didn't solve the problem. The Airdrop is definitely not a smoother experience for us. Tried with four iPhone combinations 7 Plus, 11 Pro Max, XS Max and 13 Pro Max bit always it was lackluster.
@@coolguypravara I haven't tried with only iPhones but when im transferring to my iPad or Mac it works flawlessly. I use it almost daily without any issue
Surprising for me as well, but everything you've mentioned in this video the one handed mode (iOS), the smart select (One UI), the dedicated multimedia output (Pixel UI), seamless earpiece connectivity (iOS) as well as the the iPhone dedicated Assistive ball is available in Realme UI. Except that Samsung DeX. Which is one exceptional thing to have.
I love how easy it is to use different keyboards on the Samsung phones. I like to switch up my themes and have different functions all the time.
Great comparison!!! 👍🏻 btw I don't know if you know that Samsung also has universal clipboard, seamless earbud connection/auto switch and app continuity as well (for Samsung Internet and Samsung Notes for now) I hope they keep implementing this "app continuity" feature for more of their apps... Samsung's Galaxy ecosystem is awesome as long as you use everything Samsung (laptop, tablet, watch, tv, etc...)
Samsung Galaxy ecosystem? More like
We call it:
Samsung junkware 😂
One UI With link to windows has a very similar thing to universal clipboard
Blurring and mic focus are part of one UI 4 (they are under advanced settings I think)
Having the pay gesture on the home screen is really useful, if you want to go to the recents screen, you just have to swipe up from a place that doesn't have the grey box
Some other things I like on one UI are:
With the camera, you can swipe towards the top of the phone to switch between the front facing and rear facing camera
The double click power can open any app you want, and with the camera for example, it has a second function for if the app is open; the camera will flip between front and rear facing cameras
Link sharing (I know you talked about it) but it is really helpful
Dynamic Theming is beautiful on android 12 and I can't wait for more apps to support it
5:30 correction: you can use a live image as a wallpaper on iPhone which animates when long pressed. (Saves battery by not always playing on the lockscreen wallpaper)
Great Video Bro. I was thinking switching to Apple but some thing would really get annoying to me like the settings
YOU FORGOT ABOUT ONE FEATURE.THE SECURE FOLDER IN SAMSUNG IS THE BEST
Finally a good actually in depth video on this thank you, I actially never thought how good oneui actually was
This is a very smart video to make. I love ❤️ this idea 💡
In the Philippines Imessage is pretty rare like not even 10% of the population uses it. Facebook and Messenger is the main app for messaging like if you don't have one you're pretty much missing out a whole out. Buying an iPhone here is more like a luxury rather than a necessity since Android has taken over this whole country
@@droiddevx03 like wtf man, but like for real tho
14:37 On samsung, long touch somewhere on the homescreen outside any icon or wiget. Then swipe left. You will see the option to switch between Samsung free and Google discover.
Amazing video btw.
The thing about the cursor position in a field of text is that Apple likes adding extra steps to do tasks.
Amazing Video man. Your content leaves me with no choice but to subscribe. !!
Kids being bullied for using Android?! That's a sad reflection on US society if true. I can't imagine that happening anywhere else
Yea, as someone who lives here in the US, that's complete bs
Yeah, exactly. I was peer pressured into getting an iPhone by both friends and family. After seeing how limited and restrictive iOS is I regret getting an iPhone (it wasn't my choice though. My dad bought an iPhone XR for me without letting me decide which one). It is ridiculous how Apple does not let you install apps from outside of the app store, and they claim it is for security reasons. "Security" my ass. Apple does it to retain 30% revenue. Google gives you the option to trust your browser or not. I also hate that you can't move apps wherever you want on iOS. All these fixes can be applied by jailbreaking your device, but I do not want to be stuck on an old OS, and the jailbreak scene is really slow.
Ya America pretty much thinks that if u don't have an apple product somewhere ur either poor or not cool or just weird and then the blue bubbles thing I rlly don't understand
@IV_MexicanMan America is a backwards country in terms of society.
Here in the UK, I see a mixture of a lot of things. In fact, in a lot of cases girls tend to go iphone and guys go Samsung, from my experience.
8:00 Samsung Flow is a app that you can install on a Samsung phone and Windows PC and this app allows to send files between your phone and windows Flawlessly.
this was an amazing video! been going back and forth between oneplus and pixel and trying to get my significant other onto pixel from iphone. It got her thinking!!! thanks man, keep making videos!!!
I found this video after months of searching. It explains very well the differences between the UI’s. I currently use an iPhone and have been since they came out. Over the years I have tried to swap over to android many times without success.
I think it is best put there are conditions to either UI/software. - Using Apple Pay is seem less and easy to manage.
- using iMessage with your family allows you to get full resolution photos and videos (to an extent depending on length). I have tried all different kind of apps including signal. Not a big fan of meta so I’d rather not use messenger but I have tried it with the same results.
On android:
- customization. Something simple like rearranging your icons where you want.
- transferring files to a computer is way easier.
- google assistant is way better
All in all if I could take an IPhone and mate it with an android it would be perfect. But unfortunately that can’t happen and would prolly be sued by both out of existence.
Both companies use your personal information so it all boils down to preference.
Personally I’d rather use android but I use an iPhone so I can stay connected better with my family.
Most of my circle has Android, particularly Samsung S21 and S22 Ultras. The instant message experience on Google Messages has made us just as snobby as iOS users. We really dislike when we get SMS/MMS from iOS users.
Same. Most of my circle has a Pixel or S21 or S22. Getting texts from iPhone users (especially video) is an extreme pain in the @$$.
@@anthonywilliams9415 We all have to send pics & videos via Google Photos link so they can view in high resolution. Unfortunately, they don't do the same. So their stuff looks terrible when they send it.
Not any fault of either platform. The bridge between the two platforms is 30+ years old (SMS/MMS) and not made for smartphones to send high resolution pics & videos. It would be easier if Apple just makes iMessage compatible with RCS. Then everyone would have encryption, high resolution pics and videos and unlimited characters in a message.
@@jay_dub Facts on top of facts. Since Apple refuses to do such a thing, it's an Apple Problem, and getting someone to switch a "default" messaging app to something like Telegram is like pulling teeth. One day, Apple will catch up....maybe. Lol 😆
@@anthonywilliams9415 🤣😂🤣 Maybe.
The main difference, in my opinion, between iOS and One UI is the level of polish. Sometimes on my One UI 4.1 device, if I do a gesture a little too fast then the developers made the animation, the interface glitches, jumps to random parts of the UI. While on iOS, the device is smooth as butter, the animations don't glitch. I do prefer android, but if Samsung spend a couple more dollars on polishing their UI, I think a lot of people would be more willing to switch.
Can’t disagree. I noticed that from using both I feel google pixels tho are the iPhone of android in terms of smoothness. I got a old first gen that’s still very snappy like my iphone
This is a valid point. I think if you use a different launcher like Nova Launcher you won't have these issues with animations though.
yeah, animations and overall appearances are a big thing for me and why I begrudgingly stick with Apple tbh. would love to switch to a Pixel if they can get their aesthetics up (MaterialYou looks gorgeous though)
To me personally..iPhones are good
I love Samsung too but most of the time ..I just want the phone to work but now everything is changing
iOS has aod now ..usb c is coming to the iPhone ..the App Store is being opened up
I don’t want ti watch videos on how to custom root or rom or whatever you guys call it and that’s why I stay on iOS (also it’s a big flex in my country )
I am a professional service
Very informative video of all 3 UI's. I would disagree that apps are better on iphones. File management, offline music use, and office apps are much more a pain to use on an iPhone than an Android
This is an amazing video, nicely done!
I had an iPhone XS, switched to Samsung Notes (primarily for the note taking ability)
I do not care much for the camera hardware. If i seriously want to take a picture, i use a Sony DSLR - which is superior in every single aspect to any phone anyway. However, since this is about the software/UI ... i agree mostly with you on the characteristics of IOS vs. OneUI. (cannot comment on Google Pixel as i do not have one)
OneUI is not the fastest, but in everyday use - you wont notice a difference because you are not counting milliseconds. Some apps do indeed feature more functions on IOS .. but personally, i have not missed them when i switched. Games and apps run flawlessly on both - mostly because games (especially) and apps are coded to run on the smallest common denominator - meaning, they will always run well on current flagships.
I really LOVE airdrop! (or loved it, when i used IOS) - and that one is the only feature i really miss. I couldnt care less for imessage .. because in my country, the most common phones are Android phones (but Apple as a single brand is still the most dominant - in terms of Android vs. Apple however .. Android dwarfs Apple) - long story short .. i use WhatsApp, Signal and Telegram - i dont use imessage at all. (never did)
Customization is poor on Apple - but you wont feel it when you start on Apple. To mimic the Apple slogan "it just works.." - yes it does .. it does not necessarily work best for YOU, but it works. So .. a customer needs to adjust to Apple, which is not too hard. On OneUI, you make the OS adjust to your needs (which needs a few minutes of work).
The benefit is .. that you can make your phone look and feel fresh over a longer time than when using IOS.
Personally, i like OneUI better - is what i would say .. but the truth is .. i do not use OneUI (pretty much). I customized my OS to be nothing like OneUI. I use the Niagara Launcher with Adapticons (self made icons) .. and a completely custom feature-set of stuff, while having uninstalled almost all Samsung apps i can uninstall. So for all intent and purposes .. i "prefer" OneUI only because it allows me to get rid of it.
Apple does not allow me to do that. I cannot have custom launchers like Niagara, Ratio or other more minimalist designs.
Things like Dex are also nice - and i love that Samsung features it. I would be lying when i said i make use of it though. If i need a desktop, i use my PC. But it is nice to know that i CAN use my phone for it.
I totally agree with you. If you aren't going to use any Samsung apps, then I think you would like the Google Pixel, since that just comes with Google apps.

A mistake at around 22:03. Samsung nowadays is releasing fast and apparently more stable updates than Google, offering for the majority of their phones 4 years of OS updates and 5 years security updates which is more than Google; and any other Android OEM for that matter.
Also a great aesthetic feature in Android 12, which is material you, a major plus to me, wasn't mentioned.
Yeah Samsung is now the best for android when it comes to updates. Hopefully that forces Google to step it up.
Samsung pay on the home screen is an optional feature. Meaning it can be turned off
Android is highly customizable, from the stock keyboard to the whole theme of the phone. Especially when you start to use Good lock or its cracked version you can use in any region (Nicelock and the necelock downloader companion). there's stuff like theme park, keys Cafe, home up, etc
I do miss when the Samsung edge screens were more pronounced. Luckily, with the s22 ultra, the edge is still just pronounced enough to be able to see your edge lighting with the screen off and faced down, and I'm glad they haven't abandoned the software functionality of the screen in the form of the edge panels *\0/*
You didn't mention that Samsung with Link to Windows has the ability to share clipboard with windows and also with other Samsung devices. Also with Link to Windows you can easy copy pictures (drag and drop) on Windows from you Samsung phone. Also can answer messages, calls from windows. And OneDrive is integrated in to Samsung galaxy app. And can sync all your pictures across devices.
But nevertheless great video! 👍 🙂
I have both. Iphone 13 and S22 Ultra. Both are fantastic once you get used to it. Just remember that "customisation of android" fades away quickly and the simplicity of iOS is taken for granted quickly. Both are Phones first, media centers 2nd and camears 3rd in my opinion. Apple ecosystem is simple, but expensive to maintain and the equipment lasts a long long time and very very reliable. While people on android are treated to a diff design, innovation almost every single year, It is expensive too, but you get more out of your stuff.
So what would you recommend for a “work first and media centers second” users?
@@JP-sw9vm S22 Ultra. That S pen is super useful in my opinion and if you can use it with Samsung Dex, it is even better.
@@KalpeshPatel78 amazing. This solidified the answer to my dilemma. Thanks!
Disagree with customization fading, every time I think I'm done customizing my phone, I find something new to tinker with. For me, it started with small stuff through tasker automation and learning how to use good lock to make everything my own, and has now evolved to making my own custom widgets through kwgt and even my own custom watch face for my gear s3. I imagine not everyone is as invested in this stuff as I am but for those who want to make a truly personalized phone experience, the tools are all there on android
@@jonathanmordekovich9258 Yep, I was referring to the rest of 80-95% people. Initially customization is superb (or once in a while when some awesome widget or action comes up) but rest of the days of the year, its just a phone, a camera and a multi-media screen. Good to know you know how to make your own widgets. I always wanted to do such things, but work and life take up most of the time and I hardly get time to do such stuff.
Wow great in depth comparison!
I was team iPhone with the iPhone 3G, 4 and 5 before switching to Galaxy with the S5 Active. Those bigger AMOLED screens and all the customization made me jealous. What I missed the most was iMessage, but I'm not much of a chatter anyway and darn near everyone I knew was on facebook/messenger.
The ecosystem advantage of iOS is getting a lot smaller, at least with One UI and Phone Link on Windows. The same goes for OS/Security updates and iMessage. Samsung is now offering 4 years of OS updates and 5 years of security patches on flagships and one year less on the mid rangers. With encrypted group chats coming soon, Google Messages will have all the same basic features as iMessage. Pretty soon, Android users will be the ones bullying iPhone users with green bubbles because the only thing it'll mean is that Apple is forcing them to rely on non-private, unsecure SMS/MMS to send/receive messages to/from encrypted RCS capable Android devices.
No doubt iPhones are more powerful and run much smoother, but it aggravates the stew out of me that you've got all that power and still can't do things like dex and multitask on them. I was rocking two apps at the same time on my S5 active in 2015 and iPhones still don't have this ability in 2022!!!!! What's the point of all that power? That's like putting a 100 mph limiter on a SSC Tuatara (Google how fast it can go). Obviously I know the reason is because Apple is worried that no one will buy iPads and Macbooks. The limited simplicity is what gives me no desire to go back to iPhone. I would miss way too many features.
iMessage is encrypted
@@realwiggles so is chat on Google Messages
@@jimmie_g "Pretty soon, Android users will be the ones bullying iPhone users with green bubbles because the only thing it'll mean is that Apple is forcing them to rely on non-private, unsecure SMS/MMS to send/receive messages to/from encrypted RCS capable Android devices."
This doesn't make any sense. If the messages from both sides aren't encrypted, how would it only affect one party? If Apple users are forced to rely on non-private and unsecure messaging systems, than anything sent to them would also be subject to the same parameters regardless.
IDK why I even care. Android has an incredibly long way to go to get to a point where it's even on equal footing with Apple in the US, let alone getting to a point where they have enough influence to allow them to bully Apple into scrapping it's own proprietary messaging service in favor of something created by their direct competitor.
@@realwiggles I never said it would only affect one party. My point was that if the messages aren't encrypted, now it's solely due to Apple's refusal to adopt RCS. What a joke for a company that prides itself on privacy. They only care about privacy up until the point where it will start to affect their bottom line. At that point, screw privacy.
And let's not exaggerate, Apple doesn't have to scrap their own proprietary messaging service. But they know exactly what adopting RCS would mean to their bottom line, so if they did, the end result would pretty much be the same. And they're supposed to be so far ahead of Android lol.
I challenge you though to separate yourself from every other Apple fanboy/fangirl I've encountered and actually elaborate on exactly what it would take for Android to get to where it's "even on equal footing with Apple in the US."
@@jimmie_g I mean, how is that any different than how google operates now. Maybe Apple believes iMessage is the most secure messaging service and, considering their market share in the US, they have a vested interest in keeping it that way. Obviously they are going to trust their own software over anything else. And yeah, obviously money plays a part. But you’re acting like iMessage is some piece of shit service that we need to get rid of. Do you think Google is only focused on “the greater good” and that money doesn’t influence their actions just as much as it influences Apple’s? You can call me a fanboy but at least I’m not delusional enough to think one of the largest companies in the world just wants what’s best for everyone. Google dreams about controlling their own messaging service with as many users as Apple in the US. Why do you think they’ve tried to create their own half a dozen times. Just because they’ve failed to do so up until this point doesn’t mean they’re somehow morally superior to Apple. M
Also, you understand they can implement RCS into iMessage when the time comes right? They haven’t done it yet because it’s not ready. Why would they assist google in their quest to replace every other messaging service.
Lastly, I don’t understand what you’re saying in your last paragraph. Why do I have to lay out the way Android can obtain even market share with IOS, and what does being a fanboy have to do with it? Pointing out the obvious and not being naive about how business works doesn’t make me an Apple fanboy.
Use 2 fingers on any android device and you get directly to quick settings. 😜 At least on One UI and stock android.😏
One feature similar to sharing files is quick share with Samsung to windows.
You can disable the Samsung pay shortcut on settings which is what you should've done in this vid instead of knocking it for having it. I disabled it cuz yes it does get in the way when trying to get the multitask window, but can be turned off. Just something to note
I actually use the secondary shutter button a lot it's very helpful when taking selfies
I like pixel ui drop down menu look, plus it's widgets.
Honestly, I've been looking for a review like this for a while. Thank you so much for the brief, but indepth comparison.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Bruh, stop. You're a scam.
For iphone, you can quickly bypass the wait period for face ID by swiping up to activate it, then tapping the screen again (I think anywhere, although you may have to tap on the face ID text). It will then bring you to pass code screen.
I’m glad you pointed this out bc you don’t have to wait for Face ID to take you there.
Nice video, one suggestion, maybe including a launcher with this, nova or lawnchair perhaps.
When you were talking about keyboard editing you mentioned how iOS tends to drop the curser at the end of the word. You are right that this can be annoying but the iPhone has a feature to get around this that you didn’t mention. You can press and hold the spacebar and then control the curser like a mouse for precision editing. Ever since they introduced this I rarely try to use my finger to pinpoint an edit. I’ll use the spacebar mouse.
You are right and I should have mentioned that! A great feature for iOS
Otherwise the Samsung keyboard and SwiftKey have the same function.
The android phones also have the same feature.
You can also hold the delete key and swipe to delete multiple words at a time
This is one of the features that Android copied from IOS(Meaning no offense).
So its available even on Androids.
Thank god my 11 pro max is jailbroken so I can do all that cool stuff and more..
With the most recent Spotify update you can now swipe to add to queue! At least on my galaxy s10e
13:05, yes, you can do that on Samsung's One UI with Good Lock, I personally use the double back tap to take screenshots 👀
How do you make sure the text you copied will still be in the clipboard after you reboot your device? And how can I copy multiple texts?
Cuz I have an iPad for school and its always inconvenient when I lost what I copied a hour ago. 😢
