Long time iPhone user for over a decade. Just made the switch to the S22 ultra and I am loving it. Time to convert my wife and family. Wish me luck lol. Sharing this video.
@@noownbey5616 when I left my iPhone I couldn't receive messages in group chats anymore but people could receive mine from my android. I had to de-register my number from imessage. It's annoying switching but as someone that works in/enjoys tech, I'm enjoying the android a lot. Good luck!
Wow I feel like Ella is one of the only reviewers that Uses and genuinely loves both ANDROID AND IOS. Most others already have a definite preference, and just try to hide it. Love your vidoes
She said in old videos why she prefered Samsung Sxx as a phone but she’s not a fanboy, she loves tech. For me it is: Photo: Samsung Video: Apple OS: Samsung OneUi feat Android Software update: Apple Fluidity/Performance: Apple Battery Life: Apple Design: Samsung Accessories: Apple
I can never get with Apple products because i prefer forming things in the way i like. even Android seems restricted in many aspects to me so i can't imagine using Apple products.
I have the S22 Ultra, and I absolutely love it! A friend of mine works for a big tech company as a master engineer. He actually uses both phones. He's been an Apple fan for many years. He told me he uses his apple phone for talking on the phone to friends, and family, but for work, he uses the S22 Ultra, because he can do a lot more that Apple can't do.
@@osamabinramen3114 all it says is people have preferences. I swear android fanboys are just as obnoxious as iPhone fanboys. And yes, I've only ever owned an android, it's my preference. But to have a personal loyalty to a multi billion dollar company no matter which product it is, is so weird to me.
This is very true! I've been an android user since, and it's my first time switching to an iPhone. One of the things I miss is the amount of flexibility like multitasking and easy access. I'm currently using an iPhone 11 and I love that my experience is much more smoother when it comes to the processor and the amount of online usage that I use! The only downside that it's very limiting. I often struggle to connect my hotspot to my laptop, so I have to reset it a few times because my iPhone doesn't detect an IP address. At times, I don't want to bring my laptop because it's too heavy because I've been working remotely the past few days, so it's been very hard for me to multitask on my phone. AND the part where you mentioned that you spend more of your time on your Samsung gallery rather than your iPhone is so relatable!! I used to spend more time in my android's gallery because I can easily organize and thinker myself around it, but now it just feels dull to save and organize photos on your iPhone :(( but regardless, I love both phones! I just wished Apple can use it's processor to it's full potential.
been an apple user too for very long time. I still have my iPhone 14 Pro Max with me, and Huawei P40 Pro Plus as back up. But dang, i purchased 2nd hand S22 ultra and I was like, ughh this phone is damn good! I love so much the One UI 5.0 customization and the portrait shots in this s22 U is pretty damn good. I hate samsung before as i had bad exp with its screens with s6 and s7 edge before but samsung nowdays, their series are so much improved+ the S pen!
Such an unbiased and honest review. I switched from an iPhone 11 Pro Max to the S22 Ultra and the customisation just blew me away. This is one awesome phone and I don’t plan to switch back to ios anytime soon. Subscribed!
@@Legin24 spoken like a true sheep. I have the 13 pro it does have bugs there was literally an update to fix some if you've been living under a rock...
I have the S22 plus and I gotta say it's been amazing. I didn't use my s pen on my note 20 very often so when I was upgrading I took that into account. I got back and forth from themes to color palette. The themes are the best
Must be fun. I was supposed to get Samsung or at the least a pixel 6 but my dumbass was like hey I only had a iPhone 3GS let me try it out at least for the os and iMessage etc mostly cause my girl switched from Samsung sayying oh her boss and friends have iPhone so it’s easier to communicate Yada yada yada.. I went along to support mostly, what a mistake. The 13 is so buggy and it’s not capable of anything. Being more of a fan of android I miss the ease of access I even keep my old first gen pixel to play emulators while I got my iPhone. Definitely switching back when I get the chance
@@robmalcolm8042 BRO THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME! My ex gf told me to switch cause androids suck and I was like lol ok then I switched and the b broke up with me...
@@MJT-DA lmao oh shit. Nah I’m still with mine 4 years in September but she knows android is better she hates having to pay for so much stuff on iPhone. I’m definitely going to switch back soon. I got my old android still too
I use 13 pro max as my gaming phone. 13 mini as my personal phone. S22 ultra as my work phone. S22 ultra is miles ahead. Just give it a week or 10 days till it adapts to how you use the phone. Battery is next level. 1 day and half
I've watched a ton of galaxy s22 ultra videos and this one has been one of the most useful ones! The pulling out the pen and writing on the screen is something I'd love and no one has mentioned it! Than you! Incredible video overall!
I just sold my Galaxy S21+ and bought the iPhone 13 ProMax. Although I really love the battery durability of the 13 ProMax, I feel like I’m losing the flexibility here. I’m so already used to Samsung UI, all its shortcuts, and flexibility it offers (easier file management, full-featured in-app photo and video editor in the Gallery, apk installation outside Play Store, notification icons on the top screen, Secure Folder, split screen, pin to screen, GIF screenshot, long-page screenshot, etc etc..). It’s like the iPhone is making me less creative and I’m already bored with it after using it just for 2 weeks lol. Thinking to switch back to Samsung maybe once the S23 series are released. 😩
Android has always had great file management, but back when I had a Note, apps used to put shit all over the place which made it feel cluttered. Has that gotten better?
To this day, I am still using my Samsung S22 Ultra as my daily driver throughout the days, and I must say the performance is great, very smooth and easy to navigate and the battery is great as well. I used to have an iPhone before but now I moved onto the Samsung. Anyways thanks Ella, for the great review and discussion of the two phones.
@@Line171 screen time in 2k display and outdoor conditions ,,i am getting more than 15 hours of video playback on netflix,a phone with such a marvelous display will obviously consume more battery and i dont care about that,i consume more media and i get more than 15 hours of playback time that is enough thn what is,iphone notchy display which sucks?
I went from the Galaxy S10 to the iPhone 13Pro. I’ve been thinking about going back to Android. I like Android for easier to customize and I like the iPhone because it doesn’t get hot after constant scrolling and it seems to flow smoother than Android. I’m stuck. Great video!
13:21 Ella only accounted for one factor in the SOT you can get from a phone, the battery capacity. She would also need to talk about how each OS is utilised to consume battery. The reason iPhones generally have lower capacity batteries is because they can make up for it with how power efficient iOS is. I'm not an apple fanboy (I have never wanted to use Apple products and only owner a few when I was younger), but I can still appreciate what advantages iOS can bring. I'm still impressed that Samsung still has a higher SOT, the increase in battery capacity and improvements to the OS seem to have made up for Androids inefficiency when compared to iOS.
What the heck!!! A people eraser in the photo gallery app! That is blowing my mind right now, that is such a great feature I had no clue about. Thanks for the video!
Just came back to say this a huge quality of life thing. Edited toys off the table earlier in a bomb picture of my plant and then took out my neighbor from a scenic shot outside lol! You can even remove power lines from sky shots!
I was an apple fun, but switched to the Note 10 but currently on the Z fold 3, I must say Dex is really a big feature for me, especially at work, you don't want to been seen on your phone all the time, I plug my phone in then I am good to go! I hope most developers get on board.
I think Ella has misrepresented how good it is too, sure the point about where there's a screen there's most likely a PC might be true, but it's almost as useful as a fully fledged computer and can do the vast majority of what an iPad can, as well as some things an iPad cant.
She's not a business user .. she's a content creator.. Apple software caters to the digital creator .. it's a fact etch a sketch for Gen z to pretend they're talented
Samsung DEX is pretty good when you are traveling. Let's say you go to a different country where TV's are not smart, or you are using your phone as a remote job PC which you carry mouse and keyboard with it. Its a gimmick for people that are always in their regular zone, however, if you are going out, it will be pretty inhandy, since many smart tv's actually suck for browsing experience.
Just purchased my S22 Ultra and love it! Can’t believe I didn’t get one sooner. The pen is great for quick notes when I don’t feel like typing and is a nice change up for scrolling. Looking forward to discovering new capabilities with this phone.
I agree about everything except Dex. I think Dex is an incredible feature that does provide so much potential in some situations. Ive used it many times myself and I love it!
@@DuaIl uhh no, there is no terminal in android. Plus it has no fan to cool the chip. I think dex is good for excel and typing sort of things but pc is much more powerful and can do anything than this chipset. Especially, exynos…
@@quacker6468 There is android terminal I use it all the time 'Termux'. I've seen people run full ubuntu as a dex from phone, so you can have a full desktop terminal and even steam. Also cloud gaming exists for more demanding games.
This is very important. Comparing the Galaxy S22 to the iPhone 13 Pro. Therefore, what should be ignored while doing so, is the rich getting richer, while the poor are getting poorer. It is very important to focus upon phones instead. or, it is very important to pay a price for a phone that is 3 times greater than its value, such that the makers can get richer and richer and richer and.....
I’m on an iPhone 13 Pro Max. I like it pretty well but wish it had those features of the latest Samsung phone. I’m so used to Apple on inclined to stick with iOS but your review, which is impressive in both production quality and information quality with out biases skewing your review, that I would definitely consider an S24 Ultra or S25 Ultra possibly at a future time.
I feel the same way but trust Apple with protecting my privacy over Google or Samsung. Hopefully that will change in the future as I really like Android a lot.
I also love how unbiased you are because mostly every review, they have an Apple phone and one tiny flaw with the Samsung phone, like the videos, that gives a point to apple.
Im convinced,,,,buy s22 ULTRA,,,after hearin apple users brag bout apple,,,,Iwas thinkin of buyin one,,,but now,,,seeing that pen and ease of use of navigation,,,stickin with samaunf
No, Samsung Dex is very useful. You could transfer images from the phone to the computer you are one by just selecting the pictures in Samsung Dex gallery and pulling it to the Windows desktop screen. If you do not have Samsung Dex, you would have to open files and select pictures there, which I think is less convenient. Second, you could view your files or photos on your phone by using a much larger screen, which I think is awesome. Third, by using Samsung Dex, you could transfer the sound on your phone to your larger desktops' or laptops' or even tv's speaker, which could be much louder, you could even share things on your phone to your friends on a tv. You may ask how to control the screen of the Samsung Dex, there is a virtual touchpad feature on your phone, touchpad for controlling the cursor on the screen.
I dont know what kind of gestures you are talking about. But i know one thing for sure: edge makes it hard to use S pen on the edge. Thats a bit inconvenient
The biggest benefit that I found was one handed use. If I am using the phone with my right hand and need to reach across the screen to reach the left side of the keyboard for example, the lack of a sharp edge makes it easier to do so
Are you kidding me? I am an IT professional and I use dex almost everyday. You don't even need that big screen for it, you can buy small screen aswell. I do my everyday work using dex. Use all Office apps on dex and even RDP into my windows PC using dex. So if it's not useful for you, don't say it's not useful.
You sold me and I’m super thrilled to switch. I’m really excited to get this product. Thanks so much for the excellent and honest review. Back to Android I go
Probably mentioned already, but when comparing the screens, I think you always have to mention the notch compared to a pinhole. That notch would drive me crazy. You should check out the quick share features and reference Good Lock; it's part of the important flexibility of having a Samsung device. Nice review!
Samsung now has this hand feature to take hands-free photos by just gesturing your palm towards the camera! I think that's a pretty cool feature! So you don't need to hold the S Pen if you don't want to
After watching ur video on Samsung s22 and iPhone 13 multiple times, along with other technical video in ur channel, I came to the conclusion that… I’m in love with u 🥴
Nice job with the transition, I went form Apple to Android and then back to Apple, now I bought the S22 Ultra reflective of the issues that are apparent. Great video, Thanks.
For me, Samsung DeX has come in handy a couple of times when traveling with just the phone. Check into hotel/AirBnB and then need to do something for work... Use phone, hook up to room TV, use phone as mousepad, VPN/remote into computer at work, nice big area to do my work on.
The battery is better on the Samsung? Not in my experience. Also in my experience, the iPhone is much more reliable. I had it for years (previous versions) without needing to reboot. Android sometimes blocks everything and has strange behaviors and I need to reboot or even reset. I am not convinced at all.
You’ve convinced me, I’m officially switching to the S22 Ultra (I recently got to use it at a svt concert because my mom has the S22 Ultra and it was AMAZING for the photos and great for the videos too!!)
@@dkherr8391 the s22 Ultra. It's amazing. I just liked the look of the z flip 3 but it's not as nice IRL. I like big phones with sharper edges too so that's part of the reason why I chose the Ultra. Also, I love the camera. It will come in handy when I go to concerts
I just want to say again emphatically that I appreciate your style of review more than any of the many others that I have watched over the years. You are down to earth, very realistic and what the experience is like using a device and living with its pluses and minuses, and actually much more useful than understanding what it would be like to on the device you are reviewing. It’s like having a very knowledgeable friend explain it to me. You have always had that uniquely good attribute and now you have even more great technical production quality to your videos. I’m glad you were on TH-cam and I hope you keep going indefinitely far into the future.
Another great review. Samsung has their own eco system as well and those features work on their eco system. Mixing eco systems doesn't always work. But I use windows based computers so Microsoft and samsung integration is damn near perfect. Also while yes dex on the phone may not be utilized as much per se, but dex on the samsung tablets esp my s8ultra works amazing. Not a fanboy as I have the iphone 13 pro max as well I just like to give credit where its due. Apple is great in its own ways but we are fortunate to be able to choose what we like and both are great choices. The gap between the two is becoming smaller. I also give credit to samsung for getting developers to make more creator and workforce , and social media based apps for Android users more fluid and on par with Apple.
I totaly agree. I hate when people hate on android for not beeing compatible with apple products. I mean wtf? She forgot all the good things like for ex. nearby Share which lets you share 6Gb files in like 2 and a half minutes. Or link to windows...... etc etc etc
Thank you so much for this video! I am so glad I found it! this made it so much easier for me to choose wheter I should switch from iphone to samsung. this made it VERY easy.
Using s22 Ultra green from last 1 months Its great in every area, only thing I would like they do improve on are battery life active plus standby timing. and camera shutter speed. If they improve both area, it would be really awesome !! Enjoying it though..
With the last update on the 22 ultra, shutter speed is incomparable to my Iphone. My iphone is now laggy and takes worse pictures. As for battery life yup. Ios wins hands down. No way around it. But I get 1.5 days of low to no usage on the Pro. I get 1.25 days of no to low usage on the ultra. You need to research on what you need to do to extend battery life on the ultra. It is a speed demon not a restriction like my Pro. I'll sacrifice that quarter of a day worth of battery any day over the headache the Iphone gives me. And yes the iphone has been thrown against the wall because of it's slow screen response time and non customizable design. The ultra does everything and more. And this is coming from someone who has had both apple and android ecosystems for the last 10 years.
I feel I'm one of the few folks that absolutely loves DeX and it doesn't get as much shine as I would have thought. Obviously it can't replace a laptop or desktop but i feel the same about an iPad and I love tablets as well. Unless you're a real heavy laptop user, i think DeX is more than enough for the average user. Just purchase a wireless keyboard and mouse (not necessary but makes it much easier) and you're good to go. Having an actual monitor is nice but you can also simply, connect it to your smart TV wirelessly like I do. With all that said....nice review as always.
You can connect your s22ultra to any laptop that has Google and you don't even have to do anything. You can even unlock your laptop with your phone and not have to input any password if you want. As soon as you open up your laptop, you can just start working off of it like you just were on your phone, no actions required. Your pictures and videos are already there if you chose so. You can put down your phone and open up your laptop and the same website you browsing on your phone is already there on your laptop to continue working on. It is really seamless with no actions required to just continue what you were doing on your phone now on your laptop!
The multitasking was taking it far. You say you’re not switching back and forth, but you keep resizing the screens in order to switch what you’re doing, which is objectively no different, and possibly slower because of how delicate you have to be when resizing the screens. I’s also like to note that the battery life of the 13 pro is almost the same as the S22 ultra despite battery size differences, and if you had the 13 Pro Max you would have hours more battery life.
My friends did that with android when I had my iPhone 11 pro max. I switched cause I got a better deal for the note 20 I had at the time. Then I got a deal on my s22 plus when I was upgrading
Yea I fill like switching back to android I think the reason most iPhone users are blind about Android is because they think Samsung is every android even the 100$ phones so thy think Samsung flags or cheap
Thanx Ella, I've had my S22U for a few weeks and the features are amazing. The themes are great, lots of free ones. I'm still learning and pushing myself to use more features it has as it does a ton of things I forget to use. Just went on a cruise last week and when I had an issue with the ship's wifi service the young customer care desk asked to see my phone and was blown away by the animated theme, said she had never seen those before. Reviews like yours often give phone users nice tips that help us utilize the S22U!
There's a little secret, when ever you get a notification the edge of you're phone it's gonna light up 1. Go to settings 2. Go to "notifications" 3. Search the "brief pop-up settings" 4. Select the option that says "edge lighting style
I've also switched from iPhone to Samsung phone for almost 2 years now and I did not know these photo gallery tricks. Also loved the option of fixing a quick written note to the always on display. Thank you for the great hints, Ella! ❤
I’m switching to I did once only for a few months couldn’t figure out how to try my photos of the note 10+ so I got the iPhone 12 Pro Max it’s been two years I am switching in a month or next year
i been noticing this with a few iPhone to Samsung transition vdos, none of em mentioned how easy and useful those edge panels are.. and the curve displays are a pain for a screen guard but it's really beautiful and have nice smooth feel in hands also again easy to use the edge panels bcoz of the curve,.... edit.. the ultrasonic fingerprint reader
I have an iPhone 11 Pro and have had iPhone since I was like 11. I’m 19 now and I’ve been thinking about Samsung lately. The reviews are literally so good and this phone has everything I need. The biggest problem here is that my whole fam is Apple based and if I change I don’t only need to get used to android but to get used to being the only Samsung user. Despite all this, I think I would be really satisfied with Samsung. I’m in desperate need of a better camera since I love taking photos and want a better battery. Anyone who has advice for me? 😅
Have to tell you about Dex. I am a Business Systems Analyst and I keep A TON of data on my phone. You can use this on any smart display, not just computer screens. Far more portable than a laptop, and I can perform ANY function of the database programs I use with a laptop, on Dex, displaying them for folks to see. That's just the tip of the iceberg. Also, using it to share and perform PC functions is unmatched. You don't think you need it until you start implementing it into daily activities/life.
Ive contemplated getting the ultra line over the last few years but always stayed iphone, currently on 13 pro max. Think the fact all my family have iphone probably plays a part in that
@@NNS2822 its hard to get away from once you get into it. At this stage theres not much difference in phones anyway, a bit more freedom with android but iphones have been my go to for years now. Last samsung i had was a s4 mini
Samsung DeX saved me for a lot of times when I couldn't afford to pay for a computer. Its really good. If you have a Mac or a PC of course is not necessary but if you don't it works great. Mixing OS environments is not the way to go. You can now pair your Samsung devices to windows AND if you have a Samsung tablet, even the from 2 to 3 year old ones, you can use it like iPhone and iPad. My Flip 3 rings and so does my Samsung tablet lol sometimes is annoying lol. I'm not biased, I also own an ipad, an iphone and an apple watch, but I still use more my Samsung tablet, my Flip 3 and my Galaxy watch, its just more productive.
samdroid easier to use, friendly for one hand, file management, less os bugs, but it needs a big battery. iphone is eye catching, better design, beautiful UI, build quality, good camera and battery life.
Absolutely wonderful video Ella. Love this and hearing your experiences is great. And it's nice to see people are enjoying the new Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra. What a beast of a smartphone it is as well. And Early November I managed to get this at a really good price. Its a pretty good phone. Maybe battery could be better but I'm happy with the phone in general.
Great review. Nonbiased. I did the opposite. I've been a non-apple person for over a decade. In 2019, got my first iphone. Then ipad a year later. Then apple pencil. Got a Macbook two weeks ago. Then an apple watch last weekend. I remember the customizability from android, but I dont miss it. Rarely used it. Rarely cared. For me, the apple eco-system has been a godsend. I use it for work and the ability to sit down and share data between platforms AND clients in seconds has blown my mind. The best part is the setup: zero. It's like a buy a new thing and the new thing talks to my old things behind my back and when I need something, it's all linked up, like some platform faerie snuck in and fixed everything. If i was a heavier user, then I think i'd go back. But for now, with my use: apple. So....how is the Siri vs. other android voice command comparison? Hands down, Siri has been my favorite part of apple.
I would like to add that not only is the customization quicker, but there are also far more options from kwgt, klck, klwp to volume controls and notification shade. The customization on ios anyway near to that of Samsung or Android. Great video though!
I did the opposite, I was an android user for the last 6 years. I used to believe the hype like "octa core processor" and "8 gb of RAM" but when you run bench mark tests on processor speeds and RAM power and usage, you'll notice quickly how a 3 year older Iphone will out preform the newest and latest Samsung phones. If you want performance and strong capabilities, the choice of the current iphone 13 pro or pro max is ideal. It'll out power, and out perform the next 2 years of Samsung phone releases. Use geek bench or any other bench mark testing tools and see for yourself. I'm a power user and my needs for performance based tasks, usages, editing and processing on a phone device has lead me to the Iphone 13 pro.
Great video. I've never used an iPhone and appreciate your honest opinion, especially the comparisons. I agree both have their distinct advantages but hearing from someone with first hand knowledge of IOS makes it more credible.
@@КристиянТрънбашев-ш6г the rumor is, globally Samsung will be only using Snapdragon for its S and Folding series phones (its flagship models) for future releases until about 2025 when its Galaxy team is (supposedly) able to design a custom SOC on par with Apple’s A series of processors
Hey, when you use camera photo/video, you can touch the screen to adjust the light in Samsung. There is a light slide bar appears on the screen to customize the light intensity. You can slide it or lock it. Always customable on samsung android phone. About the curved edge screen, it gives smooth view on the screen. It is like modern car or furniture, there are no sharp flat edges. Anyway, curved edge screen is sophisticated screen manufactured technology compared to old fashioned flat screen. Many brands use flat screen. Especially for high-end flagship product, i think should use better technolgy. 😉😉😉
Ehh I disagree about curved being "better technology". Curved is fine when you don't use a protective case but inside of a case it creates a little gap area where you lose touch functionality. You could argue that curved takes away the sharp edge that comes from flat phones but again, phone case. Its more aesthetic rather than being actual better tech
This video makes me miss Samsung/Android phones 😭. My Iphone is a solid device but I miss that always on display and the notification icons and the useful widgets.
Agreed. Its like Android and iOS refuse to make the perfect device on purpose. Its the main reason that keeps me going back and forth between my Samsung S22 Ultra and Pro Max. My friends and family hate to include me in group text because I keep messing them up by switching lol.
the S22 Ultra is my first ever flagship phone. Bought it in full and unlocked, and I can say that compared to my mid-tier phones of past, it's so much better. Almost got an iPhone, but i have Samsung accessories that I already have wouldn't mix well. I know I'd like Apple, because I've been using a MacBook pro for school and love it. But for now, Samsung phones will be my go-to.
I’ve had the iPhone 12 Pro Max for over a year but I’ve always been a galaxy lover. Going to switch back once the 23u drops. Do these comparisons apply to the pro max as well?
Thanks for a great comparison vid. I am upgrading from an Samsung S9 plus to the 22 Ultra. It's going to be a huge upgrade for me. I love your videos. Keep up the great work 👍👍😃😃
Great video Ella! Do you use the sync from gallery to OneDrive or do you use google photo for the sync? Happy to hear your thoughts because I use the S20 + and I change back and forth between the microsoft applications and google applications and would like to follow your routines how you do things :)
Omg I hate one drive 😡 but i can't be arsed to do anything about it. I only have frenzied moments where I delete everything so it goes away for a while and I dream of ditching Microsoft
I haven't really switched but I started using a Z Flip as my second phone and I noticed I really enjoy using that thing way more than my primary iPhone.
Interesting. I've just been using the windows default phone app to sync between my devices since it comes pre-installed already. Seems to do the job just fine. Mainly just use the copy-paste transfer, notifications, screencast and file drop features. Seems Android devices just pair better with windows os. Same with using Dex for MSOffice.
Microsoft is also investing a ton of money for better syncing between certain Android phones and Windows thanks to the competition from Apple. I’ve been a Phone Link/ Your Phone user since it was in public beta, and it has dramatically improved in overall features as well as stability (still tons of bugs though). I wouldn’t be surprised if it further improves over the next year or two, especially with the EU’s DMA mandating more open APIs for third parties Also, I pretty much use Google Drive/ One for all of my documents and backups. It lets me easily access important files on my iPad, Samsung phone/ tablet, and non Samsung Windows laptop. There’s no universal copy/ paste or notification sync, but for my needs it works well
She daily use a MacBook so she shouldn’t speak about Macbook+ Samsung like something bad. We all know Apple has no interest to improve the connection between device. I daily use both Samsung A8 and Iphone 13 Pro so it’s same problem.
I'm two-thirds into this video and can tell Samsung has you hooked, your enthusiasm and smile explaining its features give it away. If it was easy to integrate into Apple's echo system then apple phone sales would drop drastically. I'm a long-time Note series user currently on the Note 20 ultra, I have no plans to upgrade until around the 24 models arrive. I'm hooked on the pen also.
Great time to post the video. I am planning to by a phone and literally confused between 13 pro and S22 ultra. I want the ultra but its big 😢. 13 pro is just perfect in size but all the restrictions in ios 😢. I would have gone for S22 for the compact size but the battery is less........What do I do😔😔
While I enjoyed the S22U, and I love both ecosystems, I returned due to the battery not lasting enough. Not a heavy user here. Started with 13 Pro Max which has a much better battery
S22 ultra owner here , apps keep crashing, phones battery is not great, too big , connection problems o have to keep switch it on and off and I can't wait to get rid off it . I was using 11 pro max and it was a beast . I only like Android user system such as keyboard etc
I'm happy with my S22 ultra, yet I'm still pretty upset with my 2 month pre-order delay 🙄. Just wish Samsung could make it easier to purchase in America.
@@agentk1930 it's less wobbly than the iPhone and the pictures are better along the zoom. Anyway, if you wanted a phone with the best video. Stabilisation she would have the pixel 6 Pro as that has superior stabilisation to both of them
@@harryvlogs7833 …..really dont know where you getting your stuff but every s22 ultra video I’ve seen has a wobbly camera and i have yet to see an iphone that has that wobbling thing and discoloration as well as the embarrassing flickering when pointing from a bright spot to a less brighter spot than samsung it’s 200-300 plus dollars more yet it’s not even close to the level of videography iphone has

Iphones are just overrated! The tech of Samsung is superb! I don't understand the people saying iPhone is better🤢🤮
I want to sell my iPhone 12 I didn't enjoy this phone. Samsung is best for me.
Wow I feel like Ella is one of the only reviewers that Uses and genuinely loves both ANDROID AND IOS. Most others already have a definite preference, and just try to hide it.
Love your vidoes
She said in old videos why she prefered Samsung Sxx as a phone but she’s not a fanboy, she loves tech.
For me it is:
Photo: Samsung
Video: Apple
OS: Samsung OneUi feat Android
Software update: Apple
Fluidity/Performance: Apple
Battery Life: Apple
Design: Samsung
Accessories: Apple
@@iAfroTech wow you hit the right points
I can never get with Apple products because i prefer forming things in the way i like. even Android seems restricted in many aspects to me so i can't imagine using Apple products.
Shes not gonna go out with you dude
I think MrWhosetheboss loves both too
I have the S22 Ultra, and I absolutely love it! A friend of mine works for a big tech company as a master engineer. He actually uses both phones. He's been an Apple fan for many years. He told me he uses his apple phone for talking on the phone to friends, and family, but for work, he uses the S22 Ultra, because he can do a lot more that Apple can't do.
I have a lot of friends who use their company issued iPhone since 2007.
and every single one of them has S22 ultra. it says it all. 😁😁😁
Yeah and my uncle is owner of apple.. nice lie dude

@@osamabinramen3114 true...I use a iphone 11 for work and galaxy S22 as personal daily driver love the s22
@@osamabinramen3114 all it says is people have preferences. I swear android fanboys are just as obnoxious as iPhone fanboys. And yes, I've only ever owned an android, it's my preference. But to have a personal loyalty to a multi billion dollar company no matter which product it is, is so weird to me.
This is very true! I've been an android user since, and it's my first time switching to an iPhone. One of the things I miss is the amount of flexibility like multitasking and easy access. I'm currently using an iPhone 11 and I love that my experience is much more smoother when it comes to the processor and the amount of online usage that I use! The only downside that it's very limiting. I often struggle to connect my hotspot to my laptop, so I have to reset it a few times because my iPhone doesn't detect an IP address. At times, I don't want to bring my laptop because it's too heavy because I've been working remotely the past few days, so it's been very hard for me to multitask on my phone. AND the part where you mentioned that you spend more of your time on your Samsung gallery rather than your iPhone is so relatable!! I used to spend more time in my android's gallery because I can easily organize and thinker myself around it, but now it just feels dull to save and organize photos on your iPhone :(( but regardless, I love both phones! I just wished Apple can use it's processor to it's full potential.
Samsung processors also good bro. i am good with apple has better, but even my s10e doesnt bugging. i am still using it.
been an apple user too for very long time. I still have my iPhone 14 Pro Max with me, and Huawei P40 Pro Plus as back up. But dang, i purchased 2nd hand S22 ultra and I was like, ughh this phone is damn good! I love so much the One UI 5.0 customization and the portrait shots in this s22 U is pretty damn good. I hate samsung before as i had bad exp with its screens with s6 and s7 edge before but samsung nowdays, their series are so much improved+ the S pen!
Such an unbiased and honest review. I switched from an iPhone 11 Pro Max to the S22 Ultra and the customisation just blew me away. This is one awesome phone and I don’t plan to switch back to ios anytime soon. Subscribed!
lmao smh no need to customize, apple OS is alot more refined less buggy and more reliable than pos android OS
planning to switch also. feels like ios really becomes stagnant when it comes to their software only focusing on producing faster chips.
@@Legin24 spoken like a true sheep. I have the 13 pro it does have bugs there was literally an update to fix some if you've been living under a rock...
@@Legin24 I feel like you haven't used an s22 lol
I have the S22 plus and I gotta say it's been amazing. I didn't use my s pen on my note 20 very often so when I was upgrading I took that into account. I got back and forth from themes to color palette. The themes are the best
Must be fun. I was supposed to get Samsung or at the least a pixel 6 but my dumbass was like hey I only had a iPhone 3GS let me try it out at least for the os and iMessage etc mostly cause my girl switched from Samsung sayying oh her boss and friends have iPhone so it’s easier to communicate Yada yada yada.. I went along to support mostly, what a mistake. The 13 is so buggy and it’s not capable of anything. Being more of a fan of android I miss the ease of access I even keep my old first gen pixel to play emulators while I got my iPhone. Definitely switching back when I get the chance
jatr tech and
How is the battery life? S22 plus seems like an ideal choice.
@@robmalcolm8042 BRO THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME! My ex gf told me to switch cause androids suck and I was like lol ok then I switched and the b broke up with me...
@@MJT-DA lmao oh shit. Nah I’m still with mine 4 years in September but she knows android is better she hates having to pay for so much stuff on iPhone. I’m definitely going to switch back soon. I got my old android still too
I use 13 pro max as my gaming phone. 13 mini as my personal phone. S22 ultra as my work phone. S22 ultra is miles ahead. Just give it a week or 10 days till it adapts to how you use the phone. Battery is next level. 1 day and half
S22 ultra battery is not that good. Iphone 13 pro max lasts many hours SOT longer..
Agree on battery life, I can get 1.5 days without heavy social media usage. I have both phones and will be selling all my Apple stuff...
S22 ultra is 25% less SoT than the 13 peo max..
I've watched a ton of galaxy s22 ultra videos and this one has been one of the most useful ones! The pulling out the pen and writing on the screen is something I'd love and no one has mentioned it! Than you! Incredible video overall!
I just sold my Galaxy S21+ and bought the iPhone 13 ProMax. Although I really love the battery durability of the 13 ProMax, I feel like I’m losing the flexibility here. I’m so already used to Samsung UI, all its shortcuts, and flexibility it offers (easier file management, full-featured in-app photo and video editor in the Gallery, apk installation outside Play Store, notification icons on the top screen, Secure Folder, split screen, pin to screen, GIF screenshot, long-page screenshot, etc etc..). It’s like the iPhone is making me less creative and I’m already bored with it after using it just for 2 weeks lol.
Thinking to switch back to Samsung maybe once the S23 series are released. 😩
same here.
But you will lose the blue bubble 😃
Same feeling. Switching from Android you feel so limited and less creative and productive.
Android has always had great file management, but back when I had a Note, apps used to put shit all over the place which made it feel cluttered. Has that gotten better?
@@JimboJones99 🤣😅😅🤣🤣in the galaxy Note we paint them .
To this day, I am still using my Samsung S22 Ultra as my daily driver throughout the days, and I must say the performance is great, very smooth and easy to navigate and the battery is great as well. I used to have an iPhone before but now I moved onto the Samsung. Anyways thanks Ella, for the great review and discussion of the two phones.
@Damian Wójcikiewicz odds are the person is Korean and Korea uses the snapdragon version

"To this day?" "Still using?" Bud, the phone has only been out for six months. I'd hope you're still using it.
Really happy and proud you made the switch to S22 Ultra, welcome to the fam!
I went from the Galaxy S10 to the iPhone 13Pro. I’ve been thinking about going back to Android. I like Android for easier to customize and I like the iPhone because it doesn’t get hot after constant scrolling and it seems to flow smoother than Android. I’m stuck. Great video!
Its the 120hz smooth screen, available on pro max too. How long does it take to charge the iphone 13 pro?
I like my 13 pro
Stay with 13 pro....the samsung will drop its price a lot...so u will be able tô sell the iphone 13 for more
that s10 is hurting compared to the s22. Definitely upgrade
U comparing s10 to iPhone 13 pro lol .. u know the iPhone will have smoother display and work better lol
13:21 Ella only accounted for one factor in the SOT you can get from a phone, the battery capacity. She would also need to talk about how each OS is utilised to consume battery. The reason iPhones generally have lower capacity batteries is because they can make up for it with how power efficient iOS is.
I'm not an apple fanboy (I have never wanted to use Apple products and only owner a few when I was younger), but I can still appreciate what advantages iOS can bring.
I'm still impressed that Samsung still has a higher SOT, the increase in battery capacity and improvements to the OS seem to have made up for Androids inefficiency when compared to iOS.
I just switched from the S22 to the 14 pro max and I'm enjoying it so much more
What the heck!!! A people eraser in the photo gallery app! That is blowing my mind right now, that is such a great feature I had no clue about. Thanks for the video!
Just came back to say this a huge quality of life thing. Edited toys off the table earlier in a bomb picture of my plant and then took out my neighbor from a scenic shot outside lol! You can even remove power lines from sky shots!
I was an apple fun, but switched to the Note 10 but currently on the Z fold 3, I must say Dex is really a big feature for me, especially at work, you don't want to been seen on your phone all the time, I plug my phone in then I am good to go! I hope most developers get on board.
I think Ella has misrepresented how good it is too, sure the point about where there's a screen there's most likely a PC might be true, but it's almost as useful as a fully fledged computer and can do the vast majority of what an iPad can, as well as some things an iPad cant.
She's not a business user .. she's a content creator.. Apple software caters to the digital creator .. it's a fact etch a sketch for Gen z to pretend they're talented
Dex is rad in hotel rooms where you would want to play movies for the kids
@@algorerhyth haha I love your comment -- spot on, bruddah!
I am switching from my iPhone 12 Pro Max to the s22 ultra I love the ultra I like my iPhone but I want all the customisation the ultra can do
Samsung DEX is pretty good when you are traveling. Let's say you go to a different country where TV's are not smart, or you are using your phone as a remote job PC which you carry mouse and keyboard with it. Its a gimmick for people that are always in their regular zone, however, if you are going out, it will be pretty inhandy, since many smart tv's actually suck for browsing experience.
This is so smart omg... why havent i thought of thisss
i really love how she organizes her videos with info specs, side by side..first time watching, i like this channel
Trying to decide what phone to get for business and this was super helpful as a long time Samsung user
Just purchased my S22 Ultra and love it! Can’t believe I didn’t get one sooner. The pen is great for quick notes when I don’t feel like typing and is a nice change up for scrolling. Looking forward to discovering new capabilities with this phone.
hope you enjoy your new phone :)

Great Video!! And I love the NAYEON cameo💜 ONCE!
This is very important. Comparing the Galaxy S22 to the iPhone 13 Pro. Therefore, what should be ignored while doing so, is the rich getting richer, while the poor are getting poorer. It is very important to focus upon phones instead. or, it is very important to pay a price for a phone that is 3 times greater than its value, such that the makers can get richer and richer and richer and.....
I’m on an iPhone 13 Pro Max. I like it pretty well but wish it had those features of the latest Samsung phone. I’m so used to Apple on inclined to stick with iOS but your review, which is impressive in both production quality and information quality with out biases skewing your review, that I would definitely consider an S24 Ultra or S25 Ultra possibly at a future time.
I feel the same way but trust Apple with protecting my privacy over Google or Samsung. Hopefully that will change in the future as I really like Android a lot.
I also love how unbiased you are because mostly every review, they have an Apple phone and one tiny flaw with the Samsung phone, like the videos, that gives a point to apple.
Actually DeX was really useful and saved me few times when i didn't have a PC around, it can be used with almost any WiFi connected TV.
Im convinced,,,,buy s22 ULTRA,,,after hearin apple users brag bout apple,,,,Iwas thinkin of buyin one,,,but now,,,seeing that pen and ease of use of navigation,,,stickin with samaunf
Not sure how I just discovered your channel but I subbed right away and now I'm just kinda binging lol
No, Samsung Dex is very useful. You could transfer images from the phone to the computer you are one by just selecting the pictures in Samsung Dex gallery and pulling it to the Windows desktop screen. If you do not have Samsung Dex, you would have to open files and select pictures there, which I think is less convenient. Second, you could view your files or photos on your phone by using a much larger screen, which I think is awesome. Third, by using Samsung Dex, you could transfer the sound on your phone to your larger desktops' or laptops' or even tv's speaker, which could be much louder, you could even share things on your phone to your friends on a tv. You may ask how to control the screen of the Samsung Dex, there is a virtual touchpad feature on your phone, touchpad for controlling the cursor on the screen.
yeah
Meh. No it isn't. I've NEVER used it and I've had Samsuck's for 12 years
I love using Dex! IYKYK! S/o to the salty commenter before me! Lol
@@Andreravone "Salty"? LOL. I'm hardly "Salty" about a program that I never use.
I love the curve screen because it makes edge gestures alot more smoother with no edge. But that's just me
The curved screens are a good bonus because they look cool, make the phone comfortable, and makes gestures wayy easier.
Different people different taste I guess.
I dont know what kind of gestures you are talking about. But i know one thing for sure: edge makes it hard to use S pen on the edge. Thats a bit inconvenient
The biggest benefit that I found was one handed use. If I am using the phone with my right hand and need to reach across the screen to reach the left side of the keyboard for example, the lack of a sharp edge makes it easier to do so
Curve screen makes screen uncomfortable to use.. unnecessary touches and don't ask while gaming..
@@Ravill I agree.
Are you kidding me? I am an IT professional and I use dex almost everyday. You don't even need that big screen for it, you can buy small screen aswell. I do my everyday work using dex. Use all Office apps on dex and even RDP into my windows PC using dex. So if it's not useful for you, don't say it's not useful.
Wow, someone’s overly sensitive…
@@tamzhamz4615 truth is truth. She should have said it's ger opinion, but instead she is like this feature is useless
You sold me and I’m super thrilled to switch. I’m really excited to get this product. Thanks so much for the excellent and honest review. Back to Android I go
Probably mentioned already, but when comparing the screens, I think you always have to mention the notch compared to a pinhole. That notch would drive me crazy. You should check out the quick share features and reference Good Lock; it's part of the important flexibility of having a Samsung device. Nice review!
The way they do the notch with the ios it actually works fine.
@@Thylilchan mate it looks like its got a receding hairline
Samsung now has this hand feature to take hands-free photos by just gesturing your palm towards the camera! I think that's a pretty cool feature! So you don't need to hold the S Pen if you don't want to
Am I the only one who still adores curve edge screen on phones? I could never go back to flat displays anymore
Yes you probably are
Me too
After watching ur video on Samsung s22 and iPhone 13 multiple times, along with other technical video in ur channel, I came to the conclusion that…
I’m in love with u 🥴
Can’t wait for your flip 4 review 😍
Nice job with the transition, I went form Apple to Android and then back to Apple, now I bought the S22 Ultra reflective of the issues that are apparent. Great video, Thanks.
thanks for watching!
For me, Samsung DeX has come in handy a couple of times when traveling with just the phone. Check into hotel/AirBnB and then need to do something for work... Use phone, hook up to room TV, use phone as mousepad, VPN/remote into computer at work, nice big area to do my work on.
I love the customization of Samsung as well as designs. As for iphones, their software is out of this world! It's perfect so i prefer both..
The battery is better on the Samsung? Not in my experience.
Also in my experience, the iPhone is much more reliable. I had it for years (previous versions) without needing to reboot. Android sometimes blocks everything and has strange behaviors and I need to reboot or even reset.
I am not convinced at all.
You’ve convinced me, I’m officially switching to the S22 Ultra
(I recently got to use it at a svt concert because my mom has the S22 Ultra and it was AMAZING for the photos and great for the videos too!!)
I only use my iPhone as a morning alarm since I got my s22 ultra. Your video was very helpful in helpful me choose between the ultra and the z flip 3
What did you choose?
@@dkherr8391 the s22 Ultra. It's amazing. I just liked the look of the z flip 3 but it's not as nice IRL. I like big phones with sharper edges too so that's part of the reason why I chose the Ultra. Also, I love the camera. It will come in handy when I go to concerts
S22 ultra heating slowing down
Bad batterylife and chip is trotthling
I just want to say again emphatically that I appreciate your style of review more than any of the many others that I have watched over the years. You are down to earth, very realistic and what the experience is like using a device and living with its pluses and minuses, and actually much more useful than understanding what it would be like to on the device you are reviewing. It’s like having a very knowledgeable friend explain it to me. You have always had that uniquely good attribute and now you have even more great technical production quality to your videos. I’m glad you were on TH-cam and I hope you keep going indefinitely far into the future.
Another great review. Samsung has their own eco system as well and those features work on their eco system. Mixing eco systems doesn't always work. But I use windows based computers so Microsoft and samsung integration is damn near perfect. Also while yes dex on the phone may not be utilized as much per se, but dex on the samsung tablets esp my s8ultra works amazing. Not a fanboy as I have the iphone 13 pro max as well I just like to give credit where its due. Apple is great in its own ways but we are fortunate to be able to choose what we like and both are great choices. The gap between the two is becoming smaller. I also give credit to samsung for getting developers to make more creator and workforce , and social media based apps for Android users more fluid and on par with Apple.
Transferring data or photos from Samsung to PC is easy simply by using a type C cable without any complicated apps or software.
@@siuchiwings yeup it's native data transfer. Works so well all the files and folders is simply click and drag.
Well said. You are definitely level headed about both products.👍👍
I totaly agree. I hate when people hate on android for not beeing compatible with apple products. I mean wtf? She forgot all the good things like for ex. nearby Share which lets you share 6Gb files in like 2 and a half minutes. Or link to windows...... etc etc etc

Using s22 Ultra green from last 1 months
Its great in every area, only thing I would like they do improve on are battery life active plus standby timing.
and camera shutter speed. If they improve both area, it would be really awesome !!
Enjoying it though..
With the last update on the 22 ultra, shutter speed is incomparable to my Iphone. My iphone is now laggy and takes worse pictures. As for battery life yup. Ios wins hands down. No way around it. But I get 1.5 days of low to no usage on the Pro. I get 1.25 days of no to low usage on the ultra. You need to research on what you need to do to extend battery life on the ultra. It is a speed demon not a restriction like my Pro. I'll sacrifice that quarter of a day worth of battery any day over the headache the Iphone gives me. And yes the iphone has been thrown against the wall because of it's slow screen response time and non customizable design. The ultra does everything and more. And this is coming from someone who has had both apple and android ecosystems for the last 10 years.
@@808Cummins what about in 108mp.? It take atleast 5 seconds to capture the photo if enhancer is on.
You nailed it. Had both and you mentioned all my issues with iOS. Returned the iphone after 3 weeks.
I feel I'm one of the few folks that absolutely loves DeX and it doesn't get as much shine as I would have thought. Obviously it can't replace a laptop or desktop but i feel the same about an iPad and I love tablets as well. Unless you're a real heavy laptop user, i think DeX is more than enough for the average user. Just purchase a wireless keyboard and mouse (not necessary but makes it much easier) and you're good to go. Having an actual monitor is nice but you can also simply, connect it to your smart TV wirelessly like I do.
With all that said....nice review as always.
Right on point!
You can connect your s22ultra to any laptop that has Google and you don't even have to do anything. You can even unlock your laptop with your phone and not have to input any password if you want. As soon as you open up your laptop, you can just start working off of it like you just were on your phone, no actions required. Your pictures and videos are already there if you chose so. You can put down your phone and open up your laptop and the same website you browsing on your phone is already there on your laptop to continue working on. It is really seamless with no actions required to just continue what you were doing on your phone now on your laptop!
The multitasking was taking it far. You say you’re not switching back and forth, but you keep resizing the screens in order to switch what you’re doing, which is objectively no different, and possibly slower because of how delicate you have to be when resizing the screens.
I’s also like to note that the battery life of the 13 pro is almost the same as the S22 ultra despite battery size differences, and if you had the 13 Pro Max you would have hours more battery life.
I love my S22 Ultra so much, it has everything I need
Is it sd or exynos variant because I heard they over heat but they adapt to you use age the longer you use it
I prefer S21 Ultra design or S22+ design but with a snapdragon. Living in France we only have Exynos 😖☹️
I'm on the S21+ and my ios friends friends are always trying to convince me to switch but I won't give in
my last phone before s22 ultra was iphone 11 pro max now my iphone is turned off and sleeping:-)
My friends did that with android when I had my iPhone 11 pro max. I switched cause I got a better deal for the note 20 I had at the time. Then I got a deal on my s22 plus when I was upgrading
👍🏿 Be brave
Recently went from a cheap Samsung to the iPhone Pro Max 13. Really miss android so bad - thinking about returning it and trying the s22 ultra instead
You should ...this phone is really amazing
Yea I fill like switching back to android I think the reason most iPhone users are blind about Android is because they think Samsung is every android even the 100$ phones so thy think Samsung flags or cheap

Thanx Ella, I've had my S22U for a few weeks and the features are amazing. The themes are great, lots of free ones. I'm still learning and pushing myself to use more features it has as it does a ton of things I forget to use. Just went on a cruise last week and when I had an issue with the ship's wifi service the young customer care desk asked to see my phone and was blown away by the animated theme, said she had never seen those before. Reviews like yours often give phone users nice tips that help us utilize the S22U!

2. Go to "notifications"
3. Search the "brief pop-up settings"
4. Select the option that says "edge lighting style
I've also switched from iPhone to Samsung phone for almost 2 years now and I did not know these photo gallery tricks. Also loved the option of fixing a quick written note to the always on display.
Thank you for the great hints, Ella! ❤
I’m switching to I did once only for a few months couldn’t figure out how to try my photos of the note 10+ so I got the iPhone 12 Pro Max it’s been two years I am switching in a month or next year
FYI the SwiftKey keyboard has a shared clipboard feature and you would have to use the edge browser to use it.
i been noticing this with a few iPhone to Samsung transition vdos, none of em mentioned how easy and useful those edge panels are.. and the curve displays are a pain for a screen guard but it's really beautiful and have nice smooth feel in hands also again easy to use the edge panels bcoz of the curve,....

I have an iPhone 11 Pro and have had iPhone since I was like 11. I’m 19 now and I’ve been thinking about Samsung lately. The reviews are literally so good and this phone has everything I need. The biggest problem here is that my whole fam is Apple based and if I change I don’t only need to get used to android but to get used to being the only Samsung user. Despite all this, I think I would be really satisfied with Samsung. I’m in desperate need of a better camera since I love taking photos and want a better battery. Anyone who has advice for me? 😅
Have to tell you about Dex. I am a Business Systems Analyst and I keep A TON of data on my phone. You can use this on any smart display, not just computer screens. Far more portable than a laptop, and I can perform ANY function of the database programs I use with a laptop, on Dex, displaying them for folks to see. That's just the tip of the iceberg. Also, using it to share and perform PC functions is unmatched. You don't think you need it until you start implementing it into daily activities/life.
Ive contemplated getting the ultra line over the last few years but always stayed iphone, currently on 13 pro max. Think the fact all my family have iphone probably plays a part in that
Same. My entire family as iPhones but also the ecosystem has sucked me in, lol!
@@NNS2822 its hard to get away from once you get into it. At this stage theres not much difference in phones anyway, a bit more freedom with android but iphones have been my go to for years now. Last samsung i had was a s4 mini
Im glad that youre using both phones and not being biased both are really good phones (:
Samsung DeX saved me for a lot of times when I couldn't afford to pay for a computer. Its really good. If you have a Mac or a PC of course is not necessary but if you don't it works great. Mixing OS environments is not the way to go. You can now pair your Samsung devices to windows AND if you have a Samsung tablet, even the from 2 to 3 year old ones, you can use it like iPhone and iPad. My Flip 3 rings and so does my Samsung tablet lol sometimes is annoying lol. I'm not biased, I also own an ipad, an iphone and an apple watch, but I still use more my Samsung tablet, my Flip 3 and my Galaxy watch, its just more productive.
Finally a non bias youtube review. The other youtubers (male) are cronies. Love that I found your channel.
samdroid easier to use, friendly for one hand, file management, less os bugs, but it needs a big battery.
iphone is eye catching, better design, beautiful UI, build quality, good camera and battery life.
Absolutely wonderful video Ella. Love this and hearing your experiences is great. And it's nice to see people are enjoying the new Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra. What a beast of a smartphone it is as well. And Early November I managed to get this at a really good price. Its a pretty good phone. Maybe battery could be better but I'm happy with the phone in general.
Great review. Nonbiased. I did the opposite. I've been a non-apple person for over a decade. In 2019, got my first iphone. Then ipad a year later. Then apple pencil. Got a Macbook two weeks ago. Then an apple watch last weekend.
I remember the customizability from android, but I dont miss it. Rarely used it. Rarely cared.
For me, the apple eco-system has been a godsend. I use it for work and the ability to sit down and share data between platforms AND clients in seconds has blown my mind. The best part is the setup: zero.
It's like a buy a new thing and the new thing talks to my old things behind my back and when I need something, it's all linked up, like some platform faerie snuck in and fixed everything.
If i was a heavier user, then I think i'd go back. But for now, with my use: apple.
So....how is the Siri vs. other android voice command comparison?
Hands down, Siri has been my favorite part of apple.
siri is a joke
gassistant bixby are far better
@@nikhilt3755 what are some of the commands the gassistant bixby can do that siri isnt programmed for?
I would like to add that not only is the customization quicker, but there are also far more options from kwgt, klck, klwp to volume controls and notification shade. The customization on ios anyway near to that of Samsung or Android. Great video though!
I did the opposite, I was an android user for the last 6 years. I used to believe the hype like "octa core processor" and "8 gb of RAM" but when you run bench mark tests on processor speeds and RAM power and usage, you'll notice quickly how a 3 year older Iphone will out preform the newest and latest Samsung phones. If you want performance and strong capabilities, the choice of the current iphone 13 pro or pro max is ideal. It'll out power, and out perform the next 2 years of Samsung phone releases. Use geek bench or any other bench mark testing tools and see for yourself. I'm a power user and my needs for performance based tasks, usages, editing and processing on a phone device has lead me to the Iphone 13 pro.
you can activate reachability to avoid the issue of unable to reach the top of screen
Great video. I've never used an iPhone and appreciate your honest opinion, especially the comparisons. I agree both have their distinct advantages but hearing from someone with first hand knowledge of IOS makes it more credible.
Is S23 Ultra going to have Snapdragon in Europe? I dont really like Exynos
@@КристиянТрънбашев-ш6г the rumor is, globally Samsung will be only using Snapdragon for its S and Folding series phones (its flagship models) for future releases until about 2025 when its Galaxy team is (supposedly) able to design a custom SOC on par with Apple’s A series of processors
@@whenhen Snapdragon on Samsung S23 Ultra in Europe next year is confirmed?
@@whenhen I really hope the next Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 on S23 Ultra is way more powerful than A15 or even A16 in every aspect
U never used iPhone? Lol oh u missing out lol
Hey, when you use camera photo/video, you can touch the screen to adjust the light in Samsung. There is a light slide bar appears on the screen to customize the light intensity. You can slide it or lock it. Always customable on samsung android phone.
About the curved edge screen, it gives smooth view on the screen. It is like modern car or furniture, there are no sharp flat edges. Anyway, curved edge screen is sophisticated screen manufactured technology compared to old fashioned flat screen. Many brands use flat screen. Especially for high-end flagship product, i think should use better technolgy. 😉😉😉
Ehh I disagree about curved being "better technology". Curved is fine when you don't use a protective case but inside of a case it creates a little gap area where you lose touch functionality. You could argue that curved takes away the sharp edge that comes from flat phones but again, phone case. Its more aesthetic rather than being actual better tech
This video makes me miss Samsung/Android phones 😭. My Iphone is a solid device but I miss that always on display and the notification icons and the useful widgets.
Agreed. Its like Android and iOS refuse to make the perfect device on purpose. Its the main reason that keeps me going back and forth between my Samsung S22 Ultra and Pro Max. My friends and family hate to include me in group text because I keep messing them up by switching lol.
Love my S22 Ultra! Have it since march and is super! 👑
the S22 Ultra is my first ever flagship phone. Bought it in full and unlocked, and I can say that compared to my mid-tier phones of past, it's so much better. Almost got an iPhone, but i have Samsung accessories that I already have wouldn't mix well. I know I'd like Apple, because I've been using a MacBook pro for school and love it. But for now, Samsung phones will be my go-to.
I’ve had the iPhone 12 Pro Max for over a year but I’ve always been a galaxy lover. Going to switch back once the 23u drops. Do these comparisons apply to the pro max as well?
Thanks for a great comparison vid. I am upgrading from an Samsung S9 plus to the 22 Ultra. It's going to be a huge upgrade for me. I love your videos. Keep up the great work 👍👍😃😃
I just went from a galaxy s5 to an s20 5g and I couldn't be happier :D
Great video Ella! Do you use the sync from gallery to OneDrive or do you use google photo for the sync? Happy to hear your thoughts because I use the S20 + and I change back and forth between the microsoft applications and google applications and would like to follow your routines how you do things :)
Omg I hate one drive 😡 but i can't be arsed to do anything about it. I only have frenzied moments where I delete everything so it goes away for a while and I dream of ditching Microsoft
@@mayavril1 you can remove it on windows if you want. I don't use it at all.
I have the IPhone 13 Pro Max but plan to buy the S22 Ultra as well or wait for the S23 Ultra
I haven't really switched but I started using a Z Flip as my second phone and I noticed I really enjoy using that thing way more than my primary iPhone.
Interesting. I've just been using the windows default phone app to sync between my devices since it comes pre-installed already. Seems to do the job just fine. Mainly just use the copy-paste transfer, notifications, screencast and file drop features. Seems Android devices just pair better with windows os. Same with using Dex for MSOffice.
Microsoft is also investing a ton of money for better syncing between certain Android phones and Windows thanks to the competition from Apple. I’ve been a Phone Link/ Your Phone user since it was in public beta, and it has dramatically improved in overall features as well as stability (still tons of bugs though). I wouldn’t be surprised if it further improves over the next year or two, especially with the EU’s DMA mandating more open APIs for third parties
Also, I pretty much use Google Drive/ One for all of my documents and backups. It lets me easily access important files on my iPad, Samsung phone/ tablet, and non Samsung Windows laptop. There’s no universal copy/ paste or notification sync, but for my needs it works well
She daily use a MacBook so she shouldn’t speak about Macbook+ Samsung like something bad. We all know Apple has no interest to improve the connection between device.
I daily use both Samsung A8 and Iphone 13 Pro so it’s same problem.
I'm two-thirds into this video and can tell Samsung has you hooked, your enthusiasm and smile explaining its features give it away. If it was easy to integrate into Apple's echo system then apple phone sales would drop drastically.
I'm a long-time Note series user currently on the Note 20 ultra, I have no plans to upgrade until around the 24 models arrive. I'm hooked on the pen also.
Multi-platform integration between different OS would be a dream.
I'm very tempted to change. Wish the S23 was out already with the changes needed.
You have to wait until Feb 2023. That's when the 22 line came out this year so best guess is Feb 2023
Lol the s22 only been a few months
@@Send_Me_NOOOBS Coming up to half a year
@@smguk2412 and still got another half of year to go before the s23 might as well say I wish the s29 was out
S23 leaks and rumours will be available in October!
It’s not about which is better it’s about what you like
if u make the switch over to windows, connecting your samsung to a windows device is so easy
Great time to post the video. I am planning to by a phone and literally confused between 13 pro and S22 ultra. I want the ultra but its big 😢. 13 pro is just perfect in size but all the restrictions in ios 😢. I would have gone for S22 for the compact size but the battery is less........What do I do😔😔
iPhone 13 pro all day trust me man
While I enjoyed the S22U, and I love both ecosystems, I returned due to the battery not lasting enough. Not a heavy user here. Started with 13 Pro Max which has a much better battery
S22 has horrible battery life I charge mine twice daily!!
@@MaDFroG88 That is why I am not going for it
@@oscarp.6361 Its too big
What I like Samsung most is I can view the battery percentage on the main screen. Moreover, the practical BACK button.
I have my battery percentage on my homescreen, batterywidget..
My main annoyance with the S21 Ultra is the shutter delay. And from what I understand it hasn't been fixed in the S22 ultra.
Was an update for that but I just use burst shot as a work around
It has been fixed in s22 ultra
What shutter delay?
Yes, and inconsistent camera too
I’m getting the S22 as my main everyday phone, but still keeping my iPhone SE 2020 for my Apple Watch, AirPods and MacBook i use.
S22 ultra owner here , apps keep crashing, phones battery is not great, too big , connection problems o have to keep switch it on and off and I can't wait to get rid off it . I was using 11 pro max and it was a beast . I only like Android user system such as keyboard etc
I'm happy with my S22 ultra, yet I'm still pretty upset with my 2 month pre-order delay 🙄. Just wish Samsung could make it easier to purchase in America.
Samsung has preorder delays too?? I thought Apple only has it-my iPhone 14 PM has a 5 weeks delay
Best thing about us 22 ultra the camera, the screen and the s pen
The camera? Really….? Did you not see how wobbly that video was?
@@agentk1930 it's less wobbly than the iPhone and the pictures are better along the zoom. Anyway, if you wanted a phone with the best video. Stabilisation she would have the pixel 6 Pro as that has superior stabilisation to both of them
@@harryvlogs7833 …..really dont know where you getting your stuff but every s22 ultra video I’ve seen has a wobbly camera and i have yet to see an iphone that has that wobbling thing and discoloration as well as the embarrassing flickering when pointing from a bright spot to a less brighter spot than samsung it’s 200-300 plus dollars more yet it’s not even close to the level of videography iphone has
@@harryvlogs7833 i wasn’t talking about stability i was talking about the video actually wobbling even tho it’s just panning smoothly
@@agentk1930 no it's not look at camera video comparisons
Awesome video Ella 😄👍🏼 I chose the S22 plus because of the flat screen 😌 Very happy.
this is one of the best review video i have ever seen. gets to the point as well as goes in depth about certain features, love it!
As a main samsung user for years I can learn stuff from ur video which other comparison videos cannot provide such knowledge. Thanks for the review :)
