Yeah, pretty much everywhere in the world uses WhatsApp religiously, it's only really started getting popular here in the last few years for work groups, and schools.
If you guys would realize apple will protect your info from government you would use iMessage. Whats app and we chat 💬 you might as well let china know your thoughts 😂
I have both S24 Ultra and 15 Pro Max and right now my daily driver is S24 Ultra. I am apple fan boy and changing to android was always nightmare for me. But now with S24 Ultra I am really glad and the phone is just gorgeous. I always left my iPhone at home and right now S24 Ultra is better that than 15 Pro max for me
Same, but i find the IPhone Camera much more stable and better in Point and shoot every time. If you move slightly while taking a photo it will blurr on S24 Ultra and sharp on Iphone. Hope they will fix this but think they can't
@johnpaulespiritu7001 I think I will stay in S24 Ultra and hope they will improve the camera in the way. Hopefully Google will put Sanpdragon Chipset and Ultrasonic Fingerprint in Pixel 9 Pro, then i will switch to Pixel
I have the s24 plus but switched to Samsung after my iPhone 10 simply because I wanted to try a new u.i. and try something new because I was on iPhone since the 3. I genuinely appreciate phones and I legit mean all phones. Thanks for trying something new. New subscriber alert man! Keep it up!
@@mrfdmss587 I know all the tricks and trades to the phone thus far. I got it on Nova Launcher and my phone looks extremely different then how it looks when you first turn it on. One hand mode is amazing as well!
I've got one and I have to disagree, the only thing it has going for it is the anti glare coating. The s23 has been updated to have the AI features so it's basically the same phone now...
Of the Android phones we can buy here in the States, I'd agree. There are other phones that have better specs, cameras, etc.. but we can't get them (legally)
I have both iPhone 15 PM and fold 5.i enjoy both they're great. But I always lean towards samsung. I love the look, feel, interface etc. I personally think the camera on the fold 5 and 15pm is similar (I'm an average phone camera user) but I keep finding myself back to iphone bc Imessage and sharing location with friends and family. I wish there was a way to have those things on my samsung bc if so I would never touch iphone again.
4:09 I’ve had the phone for a few months and I didn’t really appreciate the screen until I was driving and the sunlight hit it. It is way better than people think it is and this demo was great at getting people to see the difference. I simply can’t/won’t put on a screen protector. You lose too much by doing that.
@@HAIRY_SOAPI think he means it really enhances his/her experience with that phone. "Clutch" could be said to be a slang word used here, to appreciate the phone and it's experience.
The s23u was a great phone! We ALL gave it so many props! I thought I would hang on to it for a few years and wait for the s25u....YEAH RIGHT! The S24u comes out and just UPGRADES in EVERY area possible and is the true BEAST of 2024! The Snapdragon gen 3 is insane and the screen hands down is the GREATEST display ever put on a phone...the 5x optical is the best sensor Samsung has ever made...just a terrific phone and puts a smile on my face everyday
Totally agree. I tried to use iPhone 15 Pro Max and that simplicity was a nigmare for me only when I remember that I tried to send some photos to my laptop, change some layouts or deep settings that I could on Samsung and on iPhone not and so and so on...😢 I switched back to Samsung after less that one month.
I don’t understand why people always talk about iPhone being simple,it’s such a lie because some basics aren’t even available such as decent keyboard,good file system,multitasking,no clipboard etc…
"Ecosystem" isnt a thing anymore. everything works with everything unless its apple that only plays with itself. My Sony earbuds is atm dually connected to my Lenovo PC and Samsung phone, or to samsung watch and even Macbook. All my content is available on all divices through the Google or Microsoft account. Even copy and paste between Android and Windows . Nearly all bluetooth headsets/earbuds can deliver 2x or 3x of that iPhones have. If you listen to a lot of music you'll appreciate it
I tried iPhone for half a year and I am coming back rather disappointed. I cannot even send a file to anything not Apple without a hassle. Even my 20 year old Sony Ericsson with mechanical keyboard could do that. What I dislike about Apple the most is that they COULD, but just decided not to. iMessage is not available on other platforms, they retracted it. Bluetooth just doesn't work like on anything else. To upload a video to GDrive I have to keep my screen on with GDrive open. Like WTF. Third party password managers don't work most of the time. Etc. Etc. Apple ecosystem is not superior. They just make everything else look like it sucks. The only problem is when people start comparing $150 Android phone with $1000 iPhone. Surprisingly, the 7x more expensive iPhone is the better phone out of those two...
ofc iphone users would assume that its bad or that it isn't the same, they never tried it. i am currently using the s24 ultra with the buds pro and watch 4, but i can use any other earbuds with the same features and could get another android smartwatch at anytime, i had used a huawei watch gt2 pro which i prefer in terms of build quality but since it didn't have android it wasn't as "smart", but connectivity was flawless.
bro stop being delusional, and 222 people who liked your comments are coping, its pretty sad the first sentence you just wrote 😢, I can't believe how people can be so out of touch.
I was a loyal iPhone user since the first one. Once they went to esim only here in the US I decided to jump ship. I did have the 15 pro max for about a month but I did end up selling it. I like most techies enjoy trying out different device and not being able to just pop my sim in was a real downside. Having to reach out to my carrier to swap around the esim wasn't fun. I kept a 13 pro max for a while but eventually realized that I could live without iOS. My husband prefers WhatsApp so iMessage was no longer a worry. I was using Google photos before the switch so again I felt safe to just move completely. I toggle between the S24 Ultra and the OnePlus 12 both of which I preordered and I do love both. The S24 is probably superior, but the battery and charging speeds of the OnePlus can't be ignored. Both devices are fantastic, the cameras are superb. I wasn't sure if I'd get used to the flat panel after having the S23 Ultra but the anti reflective screen was a more than fair trade off...it's awesome
Love that the one plus keeps pushing Samsung. Apple did the esim just to try and lock you into their ecosystem smh, which by the way Apple is now getting sued by the US government for. Their less then scrupulous business practices have finally caught up to them...
Probably the best review i've seen yet, well done man!👌🏽 I only switched over from apple to samsung this year and i've been completely blown away by how much i've been missing out this whole time! 😲 And now i'm convinced Samsung literally just made the best phone in the world with this S24 Ultra! I've straight up never experienced any phone even close to being as OP and insanely good as this! 🤯
I think the biggest problem with iPhone is the Fandom... Anytime I'm having a discussion with an Apple fan boys they keep bringing their opinions into the discussion as though they are facts smh. The ecosystem is so good, OK what makes it so good? Apple fan boys: it works it doesn't lag it's the best.. I'm like first off the top end Androids don't lag and actually are faster and they work in a much larger ecosystem so if it doesn't work perfectly at times it's because it's ecosystem is so much bigger Samsung/android compatible with Microsoft, Google and not to mention everything Samsung makes appliances just to name one. Apple not compatible with anything except Apple and their ecosystem is not large so it better work perfectly considering how little it has to pair with compared to everything Samsung/android pair with smh...
@@elbertlim2872 14 year android user here. Apple Smart, they have android manufactures and users be the guinea pigs while they perfect it before releasing. My pixel 7 pro was glitchy as hell. Bought my first iPhone . Solid as a rock no bugs
@@Anamae5451and the ironic thing is you’ve become the Samsung fanboy type that you so hate in iPhone users. You Samsung guys remind me of Mormon missionaries, selling something they believe in but isn’t necessarily true or accurate.
The deciding factor for me was notifications. I've been an Android user since the beginning, but I started to noticed that notifications were being delayed or missed. I even set all of my apps to unrestricted battery usage. I placed my Pixel 8 Pro next to my newly purchased iPhone 15 Pro Max. I noticed my notifications came through normally on the iPhone but the Pixel was delayed. I then noticed X/Twitter notifications were sometimes completely missed on my Pixel. After researching I learned about the Android doze feature. This causes the notification delay. Hopefully they'll find another way to optimize because I really do prefer Android.
@@DElionel1995 every android phone has notification delays. You won't know it unless you have something to compare to. You know how a bunch of notifications come through when you unlock the phone? That's the doze issue I mentioned.
I also recently switched to S24 Ultra from 12 pro max after being in apple echo system from Iphone 3Gs. Main reason was there was no appreciabe change in functions with each change of the model, though pricey. I appreciate your reasons . I like S24 for different reasons but the only thing I still couldn't find a good alternative is to apple notes. The easy aim and scan document function is the most i loved. I am experimenting it with google drive, keep and one note. I couldn't make myself to like to samsung notes yet.
there's Samsung Notes and goggles Keep Notes. way more better. scanning documents u say? u can just easily use your camera and it will scan your documents right away. lol.
I have two iphones to upgrade and I am going ahead to upgrade one to S24+. I am using iPhone since 2014 but I don’t feel iphone is value for money anymore the kind of hardware and features they offer is outdated.
Nice video. I too own a iPhone 15 pro max and put it in the drawer. The key with the Samsung 24 Ultra is learning how to use most of the features to really appreciate the phone. The flat screen on the Ultra did it for me.
Switched to an S24 Ultra less than a week ago from the S10 Note. The difference is humongous. Just the battery life is insane. I was at technical college for 3-4 hours with the phone in my pocket on, and it was at 99%.
You can shoot in LOG on the S24 Ultra and basically any phone using FilmicPro and ProShot. I have made comparisons, and the results from ProShot are miles better than the native camera. Shoot in LOG with an ND filter while setting NR to HQ and the bitrate to HQ+, and this thing basically becomes a DSLR.
I really love Samsung too. When I am out wherever, people always ask me to send them the images I take using the S24U. They're not satisfied with the photos taken with their iPhones.
not even, I've been asked by all my buddies to take pictures when they have iPhones too. There's just no comparison, iPhone shoots SLIGHTLY better video but that's it, when it comes to pictures it's not even in the same league as the s21 let alone the s24@@robhughes8516
Good for you, too bad I can’t do the same. I just bought my 14 Pro Max last month, and then, starting last week I kept thinking of trading my 14 Pro Max for the S24 U, but however due to the country I currently live in; the vast majority of the population in this country uses Messenger, because with iPhone, I can just hold to peek messages whereas the S24 U does not, unless if they start switching to Telegram. For now, I’m thinking of saving up my money for the S25 U next year. Enjoy your newly bought S24 U 🎉
Same here i never go back to apple just old technology from Samsung inside iPhone!! Samsung s24 ultra just future display etc… Korea is number one for technology
Welcome to the 'dark side'! What a great review. I also own a S24U and it's great in every way. I appreciate the possibility of having YT and Spotify without ads (for free) and also a modded IG & Tiktok client without annoying ads and some valuable extra features. It makes my iPhone friends jealous every time haha
If people actually used Android more in America they would realize how boring Apple is and force them to step up their game, went and messed with a S24 ultra yesterday I’m about to go trade in my 15 pro max also and do the same you did. Trying to hold out for the S25 but Samsung is calling my name to come back I miss my Android
Go ahead and trade that mfer in lol its so worth it I even gave my brother my iphone 15 pro max and went back to my s23 ultra because the iphone was simply not good enough. And I'm about to switch to T-mobile and get the s24 ultra while I'm at it
I switched to android a few times but always I find my self going back to Apple . I love the refined OS and premium build, tones of case options and a high resale value. Keeps me content with my iPhone 😎
In Australia, most people use (Facebook) Messenger, followed by WhatsApp, followed by SMS. We're more even with about 50/50 use of iPhone or Android (mostly Samsung, with some Pixel users).
Apple has 60 percent of the market share in the states. So whatever their reasoning for using iPhone... It's for most people. It's simpler and most people are computer, tech enthusiasts. In which case android is clearly better.
0:29 "It's the better choice for most people" I think even that is a huge stretch. I'm not gonna hate on Apple, but there are many reasons why it may not be the best choice for many.
4:36 "Until apple can beat this beautiful display" meanwhile samsung laughing in the corner knowing thats never gonna happen since samsung makes the displays for iphones:
I'm from Argentina and everybody uses WhatsApp, it's a great app. In US the people have some type of fixation with iPhones but in the rest of the world people choose the best for them, it can be an android smartphone or an iPhone. Besides that, in my country iPhone owners are considered snob. I had an iPhone but now I'm with Samsung; I can go to another android brand but never again to iPhone, I got bored of it. I really like how I can customize my Samsung.
@@juanjo7119that’s correct but it is for OS , which iOS the only OS different from android taking 16% is huge. The android phones sold more than the iPhone are lower budget phones. Like for example s23 has 9 million units sold, iPhone 14 has 16 million. S24 family has 31 million sold and iPhone 15 family has 69 million units sold
@@zErOo00oo0 I don't know where this conversation is leading to, but let me say that if iPhone doesn't offer a better product short term (it's great but it's iOS is so boring), people will keep moving towards Samsung. That's happening right now in USA. And watch out with chinese brands, they have the best cameras. If they modify there OS to what we like in the east, they will start killing Samsung first and then iPhone. Competition is good 👍
iPhone "simplicity" comes in the form of multiple user interactions to do the same function (go back is either a swipe, left, down, or a button in the app, or a button at the top left) (incoming phone call screen can take one of 3 or 4 different forms depending on circumstances I cant seem to understand). Also the fact that your ringer volume is not tied to the volume buttons at all, and if you don't know how to dig into the settings your ears will be blasted by notifications through BT headphones. And you cannot disable certain sounds that are annoying and intrusive without silencing your whole phone ( I never need a screenshot to make a sound, I don't want the camera to make a sound, I don't want to hear 9 different reaction notifications from a group chat, and I don't want to mute my entire phone to achieve this)
Very well review. Long time Android user here and I have been wanting to give the iPhone a true test but every time I try reviews tell me that Samsung camera are better. I was going to jump on the 24 ultra from my 22 ultra but I'm really waiting on the fold6.
There are many other features to worry about more than the camera quality. For example the iPhone still doesn't have the status bar on top and as an android user this was one of the reasons I couldn't bear the iPhone 15 max pro. The notifications in android are way better. The UX is better. The iPhone doesn't have that consistency in the way you do things. Some things you close by sliding, like others by tapping! You can't view a wifi password while you type it in iPhone. In my opinion iPhone is for mediocre users who dare not venture outside and discover all the wonders by android mobiles manufacturers
Just got my s24 ultra yesterday, and OMG, this phone is a BEAST and is just as smooth as butter. I got the galaxy buds pro 2 for free with my s24 ultra, and they sound way better than the galaxy buds pro. Now, I'm waiting for my watch 5 pro to get in, and I'm good to go..
Now that I got a taste of the zfold 5 I can't use another phone due to the screen size. Opening the zfold 5 and consuming media is great. I tried the s24 ultra but I returned it due to the size of the screen.
Yes you need to do a Multiplatform app video as you asked, because most people don’t know how easy it is to have Multiplatform devices. I’ve been with a Samsung phone, and an iPad and a Mac since 2020… and my partner with a Pixel phone, an iPad, a Mac at home and a windows laptop for work. “Ecosystems” is just marketing because they make money from cloud subscriptions and app subscriptions - so too does Google - but I’m comfortable with “my” choice, not corporation choice out of need.
So cool! I have watched so many videos but I think this video covered all the doubts I have about switching to s24 ultra. I guess your review will help me finally decide.
I was using the Galaxy phones over 10 years ago. Thought I'd never use Iphones. Been on iphones ever since but they're really showing their age in features. I just upgraded from the 15 pro to the 16 pro because I'm able to, but I was thinking is this it? Seeing you show the two phones side by side the Galaxy just looks like a beautiful piece of hardware. Levels above the iphone in sophistication. I think I'm going to have to switch too. I wish there was a desktop messaging app that integrates with the native android messaging. That would seal the deal.
In the Netherlands we mostly use Whatsapp so no green of blue bubble nonsense. Never used iMessage always WA on my iPhone or Android. I did switch to the Galaxy S23 Ultra from mu 13Pro Max and it is wonderful.
I bought IPhones three times in my life, and I always returned to Androids. The Gmail, Google pictures, google Drive, Google maps, google calendar and TH-cam combo works smoothly and more naturally and efficiently in the Android ecosystems. I was frustrated with the apple maps app, and the non so great response and delay of the Google map in iPhones. Samsung phones are pretty cool as well as the Samsung watch.
Awesome video man. Jumping ship from iPhone to Samsung has been one of the hardest adult decisions I've had to make. Love the s24 ultra. But I think iPhone 16 has some big things coming.. Looking forward to your video to see if you stay with Samsung when it comes out.
My work bought me an iphone 14 because everyone in the company uses them. You're right, it's the best phone for most people. It was definitely set up for simplicity and checks a lot of boxes... and I hate it lol. Android is so much better if you want options and customability. I audibly laughed out loud when I had to sign into a google account to use youtube on an iphone.
Can't freaking believe I watched a 15 minutes long video of a YTber I've never heard of. But holy smoke, your presentation is extremely natural as if a friend is talking to me of his findings! Man, absolutely love it. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts.
Not going to lie I'd love to have Sony cameras on Samsung, but I feel that Samsung has done a great job with upgrading their in-house equipment over the years.
This video was in my recommended, and I watched it all the way through, and then was like "huh this is quality content, he must have over 5M subs no?" Then I looked in shock. Bro, you'll be growing faster than you can imagine, just keep it up! You've got a new subscriber!!!
I've pretty much tried it all. Been switching between between iPhone and various Android based platforms for as long as smartphones have been out. In my opinion, these days for the average user they work pretty much the same, flagship phones cost the same and they can do the same. It doesn't really matter for the average consumer. The major differences is that if you are interested in tech, apps or just generally nerding around with your phone, Android has a lot, and i mean a looooot more experimental apps and Android lets you do a lot more with your phone than Apple due to it's open source nature. Apple kind of wants to decide what you can do with your phone which is fine. Most people wont feel limited in their daily use of their iPhone.
I love my S24 ultra, and I just traded in my Galaxy watch 4 classic for the Galaxy watch 6 classic, the only thing I don't like is having to hack the blood pressure monitor onto the watch since samsung disables it in the USA, because the fda refuses to approve non cuff blood pressure monitoring. I wish they would just approve it, we know it's not as accurate as a cuffed blood pressure machine aka a sphygmomanometer, but it's good enough to see if your BP is running high or low. Like the FDA approved the ECG, the pulse oximeter, body composition measurement, stress measurement, sleep monitor, and the pulse rate sensor, but for some reason they draw the line at the BP monitor. After I calibrated the BP monitor I checked vs my cuffed BP machine and in both the systolic and diastolic it was off by one point. Sorry for the rant. I do hope you continue to enjoy the S24 ultra I know I will. PS since the Note 9 I cannot go to a phone without an S Pen.
Awesome video. Loved what you spoke about. Loved that you highlighted the fact that Samsung has a bigger eco system. I feel like no one talks about it. Thank you 🙏🏾
How is the GSM coverage in S24 Ultra, is it good? I heard that the titanium housing causes problems when we are in a place with a weak signal, do you confirm this or not ?
people always say Apple is better because of the eco system. And that is true, but how many people really use the eco system to the full advantages? Professional people for work yes. I can see a journalist taking pics with the iphone and sending it to their macbook or ipad for editing etc.. but who honestly sits on the couch with their iphone and when they get a text gets up to use the ipad. (not many I bet.. I am sure there are some) you already have a big screen in your hand that works. why hassle with switching. I have an ipad, and iMac and my wife never uses the features. So in all honestly that is not a real reason to say why you stick with apple unless you really use the eco system. And watch and pods don't count. because android can do most of the same especially Samsung. (if you buy all their devices like apple)
The phones also have dex. Just connect them to a monitor and done. Every galaxy S since S8 basically comes with a desktop pc for office stuff and light to medium gaming.
@@retirementkhabibnurmagomed7280no you don't. You just need any usb C to HDMI adapter. Samsung probably says that just to sell their $50 adapter. Any cable will work.
@@secondchance1521are you stupid? Even you even look at that crap it looks so complicated. Me when I was 16 got an iPhone for the first time I was so confused with its features. Shit was annoying af
As a iPhone user that switched from Samsung, the biggest thing I miss is Samsung’s display. Their screens look spectacular compared to iPhone’s dull display.
I moved to samsung s24 ultra and way prefer it to iPhone. I look at iPhone as an appliance and the ultra as a computer. I had a larkbox that I sent back and use dex in it's place. I also use a samsung s8 plus that replaced my apple tablet and love that too. Samsung android eco system is far better for the technically oriented.
Give me a free Samsung S24 Ultra, I will sell it to buy an iPhone 15 Pro Max. Being an electronics dealer, I have used almost all flagship Samsung phones alongside iPhones-I am not impressed. Actually, Mi 13 Ultra should be better than this overrated S24 Ultra. Anyway, the reviewer has never been a real apple user I guess that's why he is using that windows computer instead of the Mac Studio, Mac Pro with Pro Display XDR. Don't compare anything Android or Windows to Apple my brother. That's not fair. Apple is in a class of its own
I have multiple computers including Mac mini m2. I've had Mac minis since 2013. Overtime I have come to realize where the over hype really is. It's in the Apple Marketing machine. Their products are over hyped and expensive with a completely closed eco system.
Bahahahaha.....iphone sucks....ecosystem isn't as good imo....terrible keyboard, action button in the wrong spot, no fast charging, no wireless charging (charging other items with my phone), no back button, no anti reflective screen etc. Iphone is a flag ship phone stuck in 2009.
You have earned my subscription. Finally someone talking about how much better the ecosystem is on Samsung. Always when I'm watching a Samsung s24u video some apple fan boys in the comments: the Apple ecosystem is the best. That was true maybe ten fifteen years ago. Samsung and android has far surpassed Apple in ecosystem now.
People sleep on Samsung's ecosystem, including me. I've never really had many Samsung devices at once to bring it together, and I think that's the problem. Samsung also does a terrible job at marketing this.
You're not wrong about them being terrible about not advertising more about how much better their ecosystem is than Apple now but what people don't realize is Samsung is just not a phone company. They make so many things that the phones are actually the small part of their business. I mean the amount of times I hear Apple fan boys hurling insults at Samsung/android users saying Apple makes better hardware and screens than Samsung lol. Most of Apple hardware and screen is Samsung.
@ValisMind This. I have no idea why but Samsung barely markets their best features. Dex is something only Samsung has and it's so powerful... yet they rarely show it.
@brotherhoodofsteel3090 I think motorola and a few others also have their own version of dex but yeah samsungs is probably the most known/popular and arguably the most stabile.
I have both and completely disagree with the idea the Samsung eco system is better. I've had Samsung watches... without question inferior to the apple watch in most ways... Samsung Tablets have good hardware but not better software and that's really where it's at. On Android auto vs Apple car play but I'm sorry even the new UI on the Android auto fails mostly because on instability. I've tried really hard to use it but without question it is guaranteed to blow up before I get to my destination. So though I have 2 phones (iPhone 13 and S22 ultra) I typically will use the iPhone except when I was to read a Kindle book where the larger screen of the S22 works better.
I must correct you in something (there were a few other things, but it doesn't matter). RCS is ABSOLUTELY the messaging standard. It's quite LITERALLY the messaging standard. So much so that Apple is being almost forced to comply with it.
And the reason I didn't want to name every little incorrect information there is simply because I applaud you for being open! That's what really matters. Cheers!
Nice, I'm a lifetime Android user and recently switched to the 15 pro max to experience the Apple ecosystem. I'll switch back to Samsung again in a few years.
I tried out the s24 ultra for a couple weeks recently. I enjoyed being able to download torrents directly to my phone and stream the files to my google TV, also enjoyed the ability to use adguard to block ads and trackers systemwide. But everything else is a far cry, the app quality has a HUGE way to go compared to counterparts on iOS, the system animations I just couldn't find a way to make them nearly as smooth as on iOS. So in conclusion, I can see myself probably using a Google Pixel in the feature as I don't want to pay thousands for a new iPhone after my 15 Pro ages enough. I don't see smooth animations and a bit of app quality as enough to make me spend so much more when I can grab a used Pixel 8 for pretty much half price off of facebok marketplace just a few months after it got launched....
I recently returned my Galaxy S24 and reverted to my original Galaxy S23. Despite the S24 boasting improvements like stronger glass, it fell short in crucial areas. Firstly, apps constantly force closed, disrupting usability. Secondly, its battery life was noticeably worse, draining much faster than the S23. Additionally, the S24 tended to heat up quickly, causing discomfort during prolonged use. While the S24 may offer some enhancements, such as stronger glass, these benefits pale in comparison to the significant issues experienced with app stability, battery life, and heating problems
Great video! I'm happy to see someone give the Android ecosystem an honest look. The obvious Android equivalent to FaceTime is Google Meet. Much like many of the other Google suite apps, this is also a available on iOS. I'm also a fan of Hyundai and I appreciate the vehicle being in the video.
i really impressed by how well you're reviewing phones with so many perspectives perspectives-wise ❤..love you man thanks a lot ..this video really helps me considering from buying iphone to shoot video and go for samsung s24 later since I've been using s23 ultra for now
You aren't trapped in Samsung's ecosystem. Every ecosystem outside of iOS works well with any android phone ans together. You don't even feel like you're in an ecosystem on android. Everything works with everything else.
@@d-rockanomaly9243 However, to my understanding things that work like hand-off and airdrop work only between Samsung devices without “workarounds” like going via web pages, being on the same WiFi, etc. With airdrop being what I’d probably miss the most.
Yeah. It's the phone for simple minded people who love confined within a box or garden, while "most" the technologically inclined people use top tier android flagships for unlimited exploration. 😁
I laughed when he said most people. Because I 100g disagree. The iPhone is not simplistic and makes simple tasks annoying. It's just not an ergonomic phone. Flag ship phone without a lot of flag ship features.
its not simple... it doesnt have a simple navigation system. you have to look for a different back button / gesture on every screen🤣🤣and theres no clipboard ... also it confines u to sms when texting androids... not simple goofball
@UndisputedChampOfNothing yep....if apple became android I would try it. But it's so difficult to use and trying to link up to shit that's not apple is annoying as well. Plus it just lacks features to me.
I have been an iPhone user since the iPhone 3. I went from a Blackberry to the iPhone. And I recently got the S24 ultra. And I gotta say I am obsessed with it. And I've only had it for less than a week, so I don't know all the tips and tricks or anything. But I can tell you I love the phone. I'm not sure if I'm getting a Galaxy watch [it's a little pricy for me right now, since I just bought a new phone] but I'm seriously considering it
I'm a lifelong Apple user too, I started using Apple since iPhone 5s, then switch to XR after the 5s died. I'm so in love with S24 Ultra when it's released. Now my XR is dying soon, but I'm still saving for mortgage LOL. Idk, I feel like buying the S24 Ultra when it gets cheaper in 1-3 years. I only want the S24 Ultra because it's rectangle framed, unlike the cylindrical S22 and S23, which is similar to my XR. I only wanted to switch to a rectangular-er edged phones because I loved iPhone 12++ and S24 Ultra because they remind me of my iPhone 5s.
Which signifies that he's not a "lifelong" Apple user switching to Android for the first time. Clickbait title but he needs the views I guess. I ain't hatin, I'm just statin.
I've never had an Android phone before. How are the security updates? How long are the phones supported? That's a big reason why I stick with iPhone, is everything I read about how inconsistent updates are on Android.
i just switched to an s24 ultra from a 15 pro max and dont regret it at all.. just having a lot more fun with the s24 ultra.. maybe i will switch back some day but who knows.... choice is what makes things great about these phones.. super easy to switch over to android from ios because i actually use a lot of google apps and what not and not a big fan of stock apple apps.. give it a shit.. choice is great
I dont care about iphones i only chose difrent iphones like sony becouse cześć is uniqe but it feel private iphones it is like google phones but i must buy iPhone becouse woman
How do these cycles work? A quick search returns tons of tech youtubers "giving up their iphone", repeatedly, every phone release cycle. Do they use an iphone alternative for a few weeks and then go back to the iphone only to switch again with another alternative is released?
Please find a better comment next time - I don't think you understand how hard it is to stand out as a small creator, especially in tech where I'm competing with flat-out millionaires who have access to every device weeks prior to release.
I agree with you, but tell me how the title isn't justifiable? I literally AM a life-long Apple user, and I am switching to the S24 Ultra. It may be cliche, but that doesn't make it clickbait, untrue, or scummy. @@ronaldmjmr
I really like this video, but videos like this would be more useful if we could know how to transfer the content of one phone to the next phone. This is the strong limiting factor that keeps people from moving from one phone to any other phone. There are plenty of videos on TH-cam that compares phones, but there are few videos about how to actually transfer the content from one phone to the other. For example, how do I get all my information from my Apple Notes to Samsung's Notes? How about moving pictures? Are there any decent substitutions on Samsung for texting since most of us heavily use iMessage? There's more, and the point is to help us know how to not just switch phones but to switch/replace the contents of one phone to another phone. Not knowing how to switch and use different software is why I won't switch phones.
This isn't a tutorial video. And he mentioned alternatives to iMessage. And you likely can't export iPhone app info to be used outside of apple, since they notoriously don't work well with software outside their ecosystem
WhatsApp is super common here in Singapore... Even both iPhone users would choose to communicate through WhatsApp instead of iMessage
Yeah, pretty much everywhere in the world uses WhatsApp religiously, it's only really started getting popular here in the last few years for work groups, and schools.
Same in Ghana
in Portugal most people i know that have iphone, have turn off imessage and use whatsapp
If you guys would realize apple will protect your info from government you would use iMessage. Whats app and we chat 💬 you might as well let china know your thoughts 😂
Same in United Kingdom
I have both S24 Ultra and 15 Pro Max and right now my daily driver is S24 Ultra. I am apple fan boy and changing to android was always nightmare for me. But now with S24 Ultra I am really glad and the phone is just gorgeous. I always left my iPhone at home and right now S24 Ultra is better that than 15 Pro max for me
Same, but i find the IPhone Camera much more stable and better in Point and shoot every time. If you move slightly while taking a photo it will blurr on S24 Ultra and sharp on Iphone. Hope they will fix this but think they can't
@@kasten8020 you are right but for me camera is not impotant, I use my Sony Alpha 6400 for photography and video shooting
Same, I have both now and I feel like using S24 Ultra more. But I cant let go of my iPhone 15 PM. Lol
@johnpaulespiritu7001 I think I will stay in S24 Ultra and hope they will improve the camera in the way.
Hopefully Google will put Sanpdragon Chipset and Ultrasonic Fingerprint in Pixel 9 Pro, then i will switch to Pixel

In my opinion, S24 Ultra is most beautiful smartphone at all.

Of the Android phones we can buy here in the States, I'd agree. There are other phones that have better specs, cameras, etc.. but we can't get them (legally)

I have both iPhone 15 PM and fold 5.i enjoy both they're great. But I always lean towards samsung. I love the look, feel, interface etc. I personally think the camera on the fold 5 and 15pm is similar (I'm an average phone camera user) but I keep finding myself back to iphone bc Imessage and sharing location with friends and family. I wish there was a way to have those things on my samsung bc if so I would never touch iphone again.

4:09 I’ve had the phone for a few months and I didn’t really appreciate the screen until I was driving and the sunlight hit it. It is way better than people think it is and this demo was great at getting people to see the difference. I simply can’t/won’t put on a screen protector. You lose too much by doing that.

9:03 - If you pinch to zoom to approximately 9,9x on the S24 Ultra, it will produce vastly superior photos than the default 10x zoom. ;)
Omg I just tested and it's true
how could that be?
The s23u was a great phone! We ALL gave it so many props! I thought I would hang on to it for a few years and wait for the s25u....YEAH RIGHT! The S24u comes out and just UPGRADES in EVERY area possible and is the true BEAST of 2024! The Snapdragon gen 3 is insane and the screen hands down is the GREATEST display ever put on a phone...the 5x optical is the best sensor Samsung has ever made...just a terrific phone and puts a smile on my face everyday
Then bro will buy a new phone in 2025. What a laugh rofl.
Samsung did a lot in 1 year tbh
Totally agree. I tried to use iPhone 15 Pro Max and that simplicity was a nigmare for me only when I remember that I tried to send some photos to my laptop, change some layouts or deep settings that I could on Samsung and on iPhone not and so and so on...😢 I switched back to Samsung after less that one month.
I don’t understand why people always talk about iPhone being simple,it’s such a lie because some basics aren’t even available such as decent keyboard,good file system,multitasking,no clipboard etc…
"Ecosystem" isnt a thing anymore. everything works with everything unless its apple that only plays with itself.
My Sony earbuds is atm dually connected to my Lenovo PC and Samsung phone, or to samsung watch and even Macbook.
All my content is available on all divices through the Google or Microsoft account. Even copy and paste between Android and Windows .
Nearly all bluetooth headsets/earbuds can deliver 2x or 3x of that iPhones have. If you listen to a lot of music you'll appreciate it
I tried iPhone for half a year and I am coming back rather disappointed. I cannot even send a file to anything not Apple without a hassle. Even my 20 year old Sony Ericsson with mechanical keyboard could do that. What I dislike about Apple the most is that they COULD, but just decided not to. iMessage is not available on other platforms, they retracted it. Bluetooth just doesn't work like on anything else. To upload a video to GDrive I have to keep my screen on with GDrive open. Like WTF. Third party password managers don't work most of the time. Etc. Etc. Apple ecosystem is not superior. They just make everything else look like it sucks.
The only problem is when people start comparing $150 Android phone with $1000 iPhone. Surprisingly, the 7x more expensive iPhone is the better phone out of those two...
ofc iphone users would assume that its bad or that it isn't the same, they never tried it. i am currently using the s24 ultra with the buds pro and watch 4, but i can use any other earbuds with the same features and could get another android smartwatch at anytime, i had used a huawei watch gt2 pro which i prefer in terms of build quality but since it didn't have android it wasn't as "smart", but connectivity was flawless.
I have MacBook Pro I like MacBook, can I send photos to my iCloud from Samsung phone ???
@@watchmanexpertyou shpuld be able to if you get apple apps
bro stop being delusional, and 222 people who liked your comments are coping, its pretty sad the first sentence you just wrote 😢, I can't believe how people can be so out of touch.
I was a loyal iPhone user since the first one. Once they went to esim only here in the US I decided to jump ship. I did have the 15 pro max for about a month but I did end up selling it. I like most techies enjoy trying out different device and not being able to just pop my sim in was a real downside. Having to reach out to my carrier to swap around the esim wasn't fun. I kept a 13 pro max for a while but eventually realized that I could live without iOS. My husband prefers WhatsApp so iMessage was no longer a worry. I was using Google photos before the switch so again I felt safe to just move completely. I toggle between the S24 Ultra and the OnePlus 12 both of which I preordered and I do love both. The S24 is probably superior, but the battery and charging speeds of the OnePlus can't be ignored. Both devices are fantastic, the cameras are superb. I wasn't sure if I'd get used to the flat panel after having the S23 Ultra but the anti reflective screen was a more than fair trade off...it's awesome

Love that the one plus keeps pushing Samsung. Apple did the esim just to try and lock you into their ecosystem smh, which by the way Apple is now getting sued by the US government for. Their less then scrupulous business practices have finally caught up to them...
Probably the best review i've seen yet, well done man!👌🏽 I only switched over from apple to samsung this year and i've been completely blown away by how much i've been missing out this whole time! 😲 And now i'm convinced Samsung literally just made the best phone in the world with this S24 Ultra! I've straight up never experienced any phone even close to being as OP and insanely good as this! 🤯
I think the biggest problem with iPhone is the Fandom... Anytime I'm having a discussion with an Apple fan boys they keep bringing their opinions into the discussion as though they are facts smh. The ecosystem is so good, OK what makes it so good? Apple fan boys: it works it doesn't lag it's the best.. I'm like first off the top end Androids don't lag and actually are faster and they work in a much larger ecosystem so if it doesn't work perfectly at times it's because it's ecosystem is so much bigger Samsung/android compatible with Microsoft, Google and not to mention everything Samsung makes appliances just to name one. Apple not compatible with anything except Apple and their ecosystem is not large so it better work perfectly considering how little it has to pair with compared to everything Samsung/android pair with smh...

The deciding factor for me was notifications. I've been an Android user since the beginning, but I started to noticed that notifications were being delayed or missed. I even set all of my apps to unrestricted battery usage. I placed my Pixel 8 Pro next to my newly purchased iPhone 15 Pro Max. I noticed my notifications came through normally on the iPhone but the Pixel was delayed. I then noticed X/Twitter notifications were sometimes completely missed on my Pixel. After researching I learned about the Android doze feature. This causes the notification delay. Hopefully they'll find another way to optimize because I really do prefer Android.
Never had any issue with my s24u
@@DElionel1995 every android phone has notification delays. You won't know it unless you have something to compare to. You know how a bunch of notifications come through when you unlock the phone? That's the doze issue I mentioned.
there is not doze feature on s24u. i mean, there is not an option to turn of battery optimization.
@@vanjadezelic732 yes there is. It’s a basic function of the android operating system. Look it up online.

I was iphone 13 promax user here but i switched to s24 ultra. So far im loving it. 😊
I also recently switched to S24 Ultra from 12 pro max after being in apple echo system from Iphone 3Gs. Main reason was there was no appreciabe change in functions with each change of the model, though pricey. I appreciate your reasons . I like S24 for different reasons but the only thing I still couldn't find a good alternative is to apple notes. The easy aim and scan document function is the most i loved. I am experimenting it with google drive, keep and one note. I couldn't make myself to like to samsung notes yet.
Check out Samsung Note
I am thinking to upgrade my XS max to S24 ultra for DeX and S-pen and use XS max as backup phone. i am barely getting 3hours battery life 😅😂
there's Samsung Notes and goggles Keep Notes. way more better. scanning documents u say? u can just easily use your camera and it will scan your documents right away. lol.
I have two iphones to upgrade and I am going ahead to upgrade one to S24+. I am using iPhone since 2014 but I don’t feel iphone is value for money anymore the kind of hardware and features they offer is outdated.
I don't like Samsung's note's app UI either. I'm also on the S22U, so my S-Pen dislikes the curved glass.
all i need to win an argument about which phone is better is this quote "scratches at a level 7 with deeper grooves at level 8"
Nice video. I too own a iPhone 15 pro max and put it in the drawer. The key with the Samsung 24 Ultra is learning how to use most of the features to really appreciate the phone. The flat screen on the Ultra did it for me.
Switched to an S24 Ultra less than a week ago from the S10 Note. The difference is humongous. Just the battery life is insane. I was at technical college for 3-4 hours with the phone in my pocket on, and it was at 99%.
You can shoot in LOG on the S24 Ultra and basically any phone using FilmicPro and ProShot. I have made comparisons, and the results from ProShot are miles better than the native camera. Shoot in LOG with an ND filter while setting NR to HQ and the bitrate to HQ+, and this thing basically becomes a DSLR.
The results between shooting this way and with the native camera are vastly different. I hope Samsung adds an option for native LOG, though.
Is proshot free?
ProShot isn't a free app, and doesn't it just alter the gamma to make the profile look flat? Or is it actually capturing all the data/ dynamic range?
@@jonvaliagas😂 ProShot is not a free app. Bruh it's android. You know the androids way. 😅

Good for you, too bad I can’t do the same. I just bought my 14 Pro Max last month, and then, starting last week I kept thinking of trading my 14 Pro Max for the S24 U, but however due to the country I currently live in; the vast majority of the population in this country uses Messenger, because with iPhone, I can just hold to peek messages whereas the S24 U does not, unless if they start switching to Telegram.

In Australia, most people use (Facebook) Messenger, followed by WhatsApp, followed by SMS. We're more even with about 50/50 use of iPhone or Android (mostly Samsung, with some Pixel users).
Saying the most overpriced and expensive brand of anything is probably "right choice for most people" is .... an interesting claim
Apple has 60 percent of the market share in the states. So whatever their reasoning for using iPhone... It's for most people. It's simpler and most people are computer, tech enthusiasts. In which case android is clearly better.

That's happening right now in USA. And watch out with chinese brands, they have the best cameras. If they modify there OS to what we like in the east, they will start killing Samsung first and then iPhone. Competition is good 👍
iPhone "simplicity" comes in the form of multiple user interactions to do the same function (go back is either a swipe, left, down, or a button in the app, or a button at the top left) (incoming phone call screen can take one of 3 or 4 different forms depending on circumstances I cant seem to understand). Also the fact that your ringer volume is not tied to the volume buttons at all, and if you don't know how to dig into the settings your ears will be blasted by notifications through BT headphones. And you cannot disable certain sounds that are annoying and intrusive without silencing your whole phone ( I never need a screenshot to make a sound, I don't want the camera to make a sound, I don't want to hear 9 different reaction notifications from a group chat, and I don't want to mute my entire phone to achieve this)
Very well review. Long time Android user here and I have been wanting to give the iPhone a true test but every time I try reviews tell me that Samsung camera are better. I was going to jump on the 24 ultra from my 22 ultra but I'm really waiting on the fold6.
There are many other features to worry about more than the camera quality. For example the iPhone still doesn't have the status bar on top and as an android user this was one of the reasons I couldn't bear the iPhone 15 max pro.
The notifications in android are way better.
The UX is better. The iPhone doesn't have that consistency in the way you do things. Some things you close by sliding, like others by tapping!
You can't view a wifi password while you type it in iPhone.
In my opinion iPhone is for mediocre users who dare not venture outside and discover all the wonders by android mobiles manufacturers
Two things I loved about s24 ultra, the screen and the portrait photo
Just got my s24 ultra yesterday, and OMG, this phone is a BEAST and is just as smooth as butter. I got the galaxy buds pro 2 for free with my s24 ultra, and they sound way better than the galaxy buds pro. Now, I'm waiting for my watch 5 pro to get in, and I'm good to go..
Is 24ultra comfortable to hold & carry in daily life use ??
yes every youtuber switches from iphone to ultra every year and its a lifechanger lol
Now that I got a taste of the zfold 5 I can't use another phone due to the screen size. Opening the zfold 5 and consuming media is great. I tried the s24 ultra but I returned it due to the size of the screen.
The Flop and Fold are way overpriced way too fragile and way too lacking...Flop camera sucks
Yes you need to do a Multiplatform app video as you asked, because most people don’t know how easy it is to have Multiplatform devices. I’ve been with a Samsung phone, and an iPad and a Mac since 2020… and my partner with a Pixel phone, an iPad, a Mac at home and a windows laptop for work. “Ecosystems” is just marketing because they make money from cloud subscriptions and app subscriptions - so too does Google - but I’m comfortable with “my” choice, not corporation choice out of need.
So cool! I have watched so many videos but I think this video covered all the doubts I have about switching to s24 ultra. I guess your review will help me finally decide.
I was using the Galaxy phones over 10 years ago. Thought I'd never use Iphones. Been on iphones ever since but they're really showing their age in features. I just upgraded from the 15 pro to the 16 pro because I'm able to, but I was thinking is this it? Seeing you show the two phones side by side the Galaxy just looks like a beautiful piece of hardware. Levels above the iphone in sophistication. I think I'm going to have to switch too. I wish there was a desktop messaging app that integrates with the native android messaging. That would seal the deal.
In the Netherlands we mostly use Whatsapp so no green of blue bubble nonsense. Never used iMessage always WA on my iPhone or Android. I did switch to the Galaxy S23 Ultra from mu 13Pro Max and it is wonderful.
Thats everywhere in europe and the rest of the world except US. Only US apple cult are complaining about iMessage :)
I bought IPhones three times in my life, and I always returned to Androids. The Gmail, Google pictures, google Drive, Google maps, google calendar and TH-cam combo works smoothly and more naturally and efficiently in the Android ecosystems.
I was frustrated with the apple maps app, and the non so great response and delay of the Google map in iPhones.
Samsung phones are pretty cool as well as the Samsung watch.
Awesome video man. Jumping ship from iPhone to Samsung has been one of the hardest adult decisions I've had to make. Love the s24 ultra. But I think iPhone 16 has some big things coming.. Looking forward to your video to see if you stay with Samsung when it comes out.
My work bought me an iphone 14 because everyone in the company uses them. You're right, it's the best phone for most people. It was definitely set up for simplicity and checks a lot of boxes... and I hate it lol. Android is so much better if you want options and customability. I audibly laughed out loud when I had to sign into a google account to use youtube on an iphone.

I switched today from iPhone 15 pro max to Samsung fold 6. And I am in love... there is nothing new in iPhone.
Not going to lie I'd love to have Sony cameras on Samsung, but I feel that Samsung has done a great job with upgrading their in-house equipment over the years.

Sell it for a s24 ultra bro. Gonna be worth it
I completely agree. I want to try the S24 but I already have apple everything
I've pretty much tried it all. Been switching between between iPhone and various Android based platforms for as long as smartphones have been out. In my opinion, these days for the average user they work pretty much the same, flagship phones cost the same and they can do the same. It doesn't really matter for the average consumer. The major differences is that if you are interested in tech, apps or just generally nerding around with your phone, Android has a lot, and i mean a looooot more experimental apps and Android lets you do a lot more with your phone than Apple due to it's open source nature. Apple kind of wants to decide what you can do with your phone which is fine. Most people wont feel limited in their daily use of their iPhone.

I love my S24 ultra, and I just traded in my Galaxy watch 4 classic for the Galaxy watch 6 classic, the only thing I don't like is having to hack the blood pressure monitor onto the watch since samsung disables it in the USA, because the fda refuses to approve non cuff blood pressure monitoring. I wish they would just approve it, we know it's not as accurate as a cuffed blood pressure machine aka a sphygmomanometer, but it's good enough to see if your BP is running high or low. Like the FDA approved the ECG, the pulse oximeter, body composition measurement, stress measurement, sleep monitor, and the pulse rate sensor, but for some reason they draw the line at the BP monitor. After I calibrated the BP monitor I checked vs my cuffed BP machine and in both the systolic and diastolic it was off by one point. Sorry for the rant. I do hope you continue to enjoy the S24 ultra I know I will. PS since the Note 9 I cannot go to a phone without an S Pen.

people always say Apple is better because of the eco system. And that is true, but how many people really use the eco system to the full advantages? Professional people for work yes. I can see a journalist taking pics with the iphone and sending it to their macbook or ipad for editing etc.. but who honestly sits on the couch with their iphone and when they get a text gets up to use the ipad. (not many I bet.. I am sure there are some) you already have a big screen in your hand that works. why hassle with switching. I have an ipad, and iMac and my wife never uses the features. So in all honestly that is not a real reason to say why you stick with apple unless you really use the eco system. And watch and pods don't count. because android can do most of the same especially Samsung. (if you buy all their devices like apple)
The phones also have dex. Just connect them to a monitor and done. Every galaxy S since S8 basically comes with a desktop pc for office stuff and light to medium gaming.
You need dex station connector usb c to hdmi
@@retirementkhabibnurmagomed7280no you don't. You just need any usb C to HDMI adapter. Samsung probably says that just to sell their $50 adapter. Any cable will work.
Samsung actually has anti reflective screen protectors as well
iphones arent simple i hate when ppl say that. they dont even have a simple navigation system....
The iPhone is designed for old people and simple people it's facts
They used to be simple ,but this changed a couple years ago
Crapple is garbage
Relatively speaking yes they are
@@secondchance1521are you stupid? Even you even look at that crap it looks so complicated. Me when I was 16 got an iPhone for the first time I was so confused with its features. Shit was annoying af
As a iPhone user that switched from Samsung, the biggest thing I miss is Samsung’s display. Their screens look spectacular compared to iPhone’s dull display.
I moved to samsung s24 ultra and way prefer it to iPhone. I look at iPhone as an appliance and the ultra as a computer. I had a larkbox that I sent back and use dex in it's place. I also use a samsung s8 plus that replaced my apple tablet and love that too. Samsung android eco system is far better for the technically oriented.
Give me a free Samsung S24 Ultra, I will sell it to buy an iPhone 15 Pro Max. Being an electronics dealer, I have used almost all flagship Samsung phones alongside iPhones-I am not impressed. Actually, Mi 13 Ultra should be better than this overrated S24 Ultra. Anyway, the reviewer has never been a real apple user I guess that's why he is using that windows computer instead of the Mac Studio, Mac Pro with Pro Display XDR. Don't compare anything Android or Windows to Apple my brother. That's not fair. Apple is in a class of its own
I have multiple computers including Mac mini m2. I've had Mac minis since 2013. Overtime I have come to realize where the over hype really is. It's in the Apple Marketing machine. Their products are over hyped and expensive with a completely closed eco system.
Bahahahaha.....iphone sucks....ecosystem isn't as good imo....terrible keyboard, action button in the wrong spot, no fast charging, no wireless charging (charging other items with my phone), no back button, no anti reflective screen etc. Iphone is a flag ship phone stuck in 2009.
The square form factor of Ultra`s screen makes it feels a lot like a TV, it's such a subtle thing. Everything in the videos looks somehow better.
You have earned my subscription. Finally someone talking about how much better the ecosystem is on Samsung. Always when I'm watching a Samsung s24u video some apple fan boys in the comments: the Apple ecosystem is the best. That was true maybe ten fifteen years ago. Samsung and android has far surpassed Apple in ecosystem now.
People sleep on Samsung's ecosystem, including me. I've never really had many Samsung devices at once to bring it together, and I think that's the problem.
Samsung also does a terrible job at marketing this.
You're not wrong about them being terrible about not advertising more about how much better their ecosystem is than Apple now but what people don't realize is Samsung is just not a phone company. They make so many things that the phones are actually the small part of their business. I mean the amount of times I hear Apple fan boys hurling insults at Samsung/android users saying Apple makes better hardware and screens than Samsung lol. Most of Apple hardware and screen is Samsung.
@ValisMind This.
I have no idea why but Samsung barely markets their best features.
Dex is something only Samsung has and it's so powerful... yet they rarely show it.
@brotherhoodofsteel3090 I think motorola and a few others also have their own version of dex but yeah samsungs is probably the most known/popular and arguably the most stabile.
I have both and completely disagree with the idea the Samsung eco system is better. I've had Samsung watches... without question inferior to the apple watch in most ways... Samsung Tablets have good hardware but not better software and that's really where it's at. On Android auto vs Apple car play but I'm sorry even the new UI on the Android auto fails mostly because on instability. I've tried really hard to use it but without question it is guaranteed to blow up before I get to my destination. So though I have 2 phones (iPhone 13 and S22 ultra) I typically will use the iPhone except when I was to read a Kindle book where the larger screen of the S22 works better.
I must correct you in something (there were a few other things, but it doesn't matter). RCS is ABSOLUTELY the messaging standard. It's quite LITERALLY the messaging standard.
So much so that Apple is being almost forced to comply with it.
And the reason I didn't want to name every little incorrect information there is simply because I applaud you for being open!
That's what really matters.
Cheers!
Nice, I'm a lifetime Android user and recently switched to the 15 pro max to experience the Apple ecosystem. I'll switch back to Samsung again in a few years.
I did with iphone 13 bro apple ecosystem is a nightmare! 2 years later S24U s better than 15promax
I tried out the s24 ultra for a couple weeks recently. I enjoyed being able to download torrents directly to my phone and stream the files to my google TV, also enjoyed the ability to use adguard to block ads and trackers systemwide. But everything else is a far cry, the app quality has a HUGE way to go compared to counterparts on iOS, the system animations I just couldn't find a way to make them nearly as smooth as on iOS. So in conclusion, I can see myself probably using a Google Pixel in the feature as I don't want to pay thousands for a new iPhone after my 15 Pro ages enough. I don't see smooth animations and a bit of app quality as enough to make me spend so much more when I can grab a used Pixel 8 for pretty much half price off of facebok marketplace just a few months after it got launched....
Wasn't there an "android user switches to iPhone" vid on here like a couple months ago? 😆
2 years ago yes
I recently returned my Galaxy S24 and reverted to my original Galaxy S23. Despite the S24 boasting improvements like stronger glass, it fell short in crucial areas. Firstly, apps constantly force closed, disrupting usability. Secondly, its battery life was noticeably worse, draining much faster than the S23. Additionally, the S24 tended to heat up quickly, causing discomfort during prolonged use. While the S24 may offer some enhancements, such as stronger glass, these benefits pale in comparison to the significant issues experienced with app stability, battery life, and heating problems
Great video! I'm happy to see someone give the Android ecosystem an honest look. The obvious Android equivalent to FaceTime is Google Meet. Much like many of the other Google suite apps, this is also a available on iOS. I'm also a fan of Hyundai and I appreciate the vehicle being in the video.
As a social media manager, iPhone is used for content creation and community management and S24 Ultra for google suite applications and organization.
i really impressed by how well you're reviewing phones with so many perspectives
perspectives-wise ❤..love you man thanks a lot ..this video really helps me considering from buying iphone to shoot video and go for samsung s24 later since I've been using s23 ultra for now
You made my day by saying: "I am unlike most people. I like having a choice." Happy Labour Day to you all who read these comments on 1st May 2024
What's the wallpaper in the opening seconds of the video?
If you have an s24 you can pause it there and use circle search 😊
never considered leaving one ecosystem in order to trap myself into another one
You aren't trapped in Samsung's ecosystem. Every ecosystem outside of iOS works well with any android phone ans together. You don't even feel like you're in an ecosystem on android. Everything works with everything else.
@@d-rockanomaly9243 However, to my understanding things that work like hand-off and airdrop work only between Samsung devices without “workarounds” like going via web pages, being on the same WiFi, etc. With airdrop being what I’d probably miss the most.
I love your video's because they are so down to earth
Appreciate it :)
I own Apple's iPhone 15 Pro Max in 1TB size but my eyes are always in other brands too. Why? Because we're tech nerds! That was one wonderful video.
The reason why iPhone is better for most people is due to the simplicity of it's nature...and "most iPhone users are pretty simple in nature".
Yeah. It's the phone for simple minded people who love confined within a box or garden, while "most" the technologically inclined people use top tier android flagships for unlimited exploration. 😁
I laughed when he said most people. Because I 100g disagree. The iPhone is not simplistic and makes simple tasks annoying. It's just not an ergonomic phone. Flag ship phone without a lot of flag ship features.
its not simple... it doesnt have a simple navigation system. you have to look for a different back button / gesture on every screen🤣🤣and theres no clipboard ... also it confines u to sms when texting androids... not simple goofball
Yeah the file system on iPhone is the most aggravating thing to get used to switching from android. It makes things more difficult. Not simpler.
@UndisputedChampOfNothing yep....if apple became android I would try it. But it's so difficult to use and trying to link up to shit that's not apple is annoying as well. Plus it just lacks features to me.
I have been an iPhone user since the iPhone 3. I went from a Blackberry to the iPhone. And I recently got the S24 ultra. And I gotta say I am obsessed with it. And I've only had it for less than a week, so I don't know all the tips and tricks or anything. But I can tell you I love the phone. I'm not sure if I'm getting a Galaxy watch [it's a little pricy for me right now, since I just bought a new phone] but I'm seriously considering it
My iPhone 15 Pro max absolutely sucks in the direct sunlight
Then you have a defective device and should return or repair
Even though they have more nits which they love to brag about. It doesn't translate into a more visible screen.
I'm a lifelong Apple user too, I started using Apple since iPhone 5s, then switch to XR after the 5s died.
I'm so in love with S24 Ultra when it's released. Now my XR is dying soon, but I'm still saving for mortgage LOL. Idk, I feel like buying the S24 Ultra when it gets cheaper in 1-3 years.
I only want the S24 Ultra because it's rectangle framed, unlike the cylindrical S22 and S23, which is similar to my XR.
I only wanted to switch to a rectangular-er edged phones because I loved iPhone 12++ and S24 Ultra because they remind me of my iPhone 5s.
I recall you switching to Apple from Android not too long ago.
You recall correctly, am I not allowed to change phones?
@@jonvaliagasyou meant allowed I guess
Which signifies that he's not a "lifelong" Apple user switching to Android for the first time. Clickbait title but he needs the views I guess. I ain't hatin, I'm just statin.
Imagine how boring his videos would be just talking about one phone everytime 😂
Until I started this channel, I was lol. @@klutch84
I've never had an Android phone before. How are the security updates? How long are the phones supported? That's a big reason why I stick with iPhone, is everything I read about how inconsistent updates are on Android.
He used IPhone his whole life , now he realize "he is not most people , he likes having a choice" ..!!!!!!😂
The S24ultra has left all other phones on other planets
What is that galaxy watch face please?it's top drawer 👌🏼
It's the stock fluid watch face
@kavinab6629 available on samsung watch 4?
@RazzTheKid probably but my Watch 5 has bigger battery and lasts easily over 3 days
@@RazzTheKid yeah it is. I use it on my watch 4. It's a few lines down in the wearabke app clock faces
i just switched to an s24 ultra from a 15 pro max and dont regret it at all.. just having a lot more fun with the s24 ultra.. maybe i will switch back some day but who knows.... choice is what makes things great about these phones..
super easy to switch over to android from ios because i actually use a lot of google apps and what not and not a big fan of stock apple apps..
give it a shit.. choice is great
I dont care about iphones i only chose difrent iphones like sony becouse cześć is uniqe but it feel private iphones it is like google phones but i must buy iPhone becouse woman
Wallpaper link please 0:01
How do these cycles work? A quick search returns tons of tech youtubers "giving up their iphone", repeatedly, every phone release cycle. Do they use an iphone alternative for a few weeks and then go back to the iphone only to switch again with another alternative is released?
Please find a better title next time
Please find a better comment next time - I don't think you understand how hard it is to stand out as a small creator, especially in tech where I'm competing with flat-out millionaires who have access to every device weeks prior to release.
@@jonvaliagas weird justification 🙄 but I get you 🤗. However I still stand by what I said. All chills though, I do watch your videos anyway 😁
@@jonvaliagas you'll get your users if you keep being genuine! Great video but not a justifiable title.
I agree with you, but tell me how the title isn't justifiable? I literally AM a life-long Apple user, and I am switching to the S24 Ultra. It may be cliche, but that doesn't make it clickbait, untrue, or scummy. @@ronaldmjmr

I really like this video, but videos like this would be more useful if we could know how to transfer the content of one phone to the next phone. This is the strong limiting factor that keeps people from moving from one phone to any other phone. There are plenty of videos on TH-cam that compares phones, but there are few videos about how to actually transfer the content from one phone to the other. For example, how do I get all my information from my Apple Notes to Samsung's Notes? How about moving pictures? Are there any decent substitutions on Samsung for texting since most of us heavily use iMessage? There's more, and the point is to help us know how to not just switch phones but to switch/replace the contents of one phone to another phone. Not knowing how to switch and use different software is why I won't switch phones.
This isn't a tutorial video. And he mentioned alternatives to iMessage. And you likely can't export iPhone app info to be used outside of apple, since they notoriously don't work well with software outside their ecosystem
smells ads. samsung, give this man a paycheck
I wish, damn.
Smells like an iDiot fan boy 🤢
