S 24 is 1200 ..android phones are high as hell but worthit I never had iPhone and never will unless the android market crashes and comes to an abrupt End
Not a misconception.....cheap Android phones are vastly superior to Pro Max. Considering what you can do, not to mention iPhone users only use for tiktok, text messaging, and.....dang nothing more! Androids can do that too, and for a lot less than iPhone mediocre phones. I know, I had the 13 Pro Max, before that, the Asus Zenfone Flip 6....big mistake going from that to 13PM.
@@Chris._P._Bacon The flagship iPhone are objectively superior to most Android devices. When it comes to flagship Android devices vs Apple flagships, it predominantly comes down to personal preference and what suites your lifestyle. My last Samsung, the Galaxy S7 was definitely crap after a few months.
@Sweat_ii I knew you were going to say the S7 lol. Of 20 years using samsung phones the S7 was probably the worst one they produced. Since then and 8 years later samsung has made incredible improvements. It's a shame to had to experience such a phone to give you such a bad experience and consequently a bad opinion of samsung phones.
I use an iPhone 14 pro max currently as my main phone but I picked up a Galaxy S23 Ultra for work purposes and I absolutely adore that Galaxy. I could easily see myself switching to it full time if the entire rest of my family didn't all have iPhones. This is my first Android after using iPhone 4, iPhone 5S, iPhone 6S, iPhone 8 Plus, and iPhone 13 pro max.
Well the good news is iPhone will finally support RCS messaging by the end of 2024 so blue bubble gang won't be relevant anymore. I think the big division that will remain is facetime. Google's messaging app has built in Google Meets that the entire world has access to via Gmail but that doesn't mean it's catch on I suppose.
I was just like you about 7 years ago, Apple phone only, then I bought my first Samsung note phone and was blown away, you can do so so so much more with android, you're not closed in an apple box, you can make your phone the way you like it, and that's just a tiny piece of it, kudos to you buddy
One of the biggest gaps in Samsung ecosystem system is a Samsung equivalent of HomePod. I recently switched to S24Ultra. My biggest issue is my kids not wanting to use WhatsApp, typical US teenagers!!!! But with RCS coming in iOS 18 this should remove this. For all of Apples self righteousness and privacy marketing they are the primary reason for bullying among kids when it comes to green bubbles blue bubbles.
You can use another smart speaker though, the good thing is you don't have to lock yourself to a single brand. Anyone using a device that uses 1980s message tech while at same time chooses to use a single brand proprietary messaging service and then has issue with other people's choice of device, probably need to step back and reflect on the ignorance/arrogance.
By the way, you can make your samsung device animation even more faster by enabling the developer options by going through settings, "About phone", and then "Software information". press on Build number multiple times until it says that developer mode is enabled. Then you can find developer options at the very bottom of settings, press it and go down until you see "Window animation scale" and "Transition animation scale" & "Animator duration scale". Press each one and make them ".5" or you can even disable them if you want. have fun with your samsung!
You don't miss not having 19MB of personal data being auctioned off daily to hundreds of agencies, one of which will get hacked and sell your personal info on the dark web? I know why you don't miss that. Because it didn't happen to you yet. Well it happened to me and I definitely avoid spyware phones and spyware computers from now one.
Yeah yall acting like you switched from the greatest phone apple made to the greatest phone Samsung made, OF COURSE the S24 ULTRA is gonna look better than some broken ass iPhone 7 Plus
As an ex apple turned Galaxy user, you have a long way to go because you provided a lot of misunderstood in this video. Not purposely but because you haven't discovered it yet lol😂. Everything you said that "can't do" you actually can do. My file sharing between my PC, tablet and phone is EXTREMELY seamless. I can be 500 miles away from my PC and if I need files that are on my PC, they are just a click away. Also, I can copy and paste between devices. I love writing a huge message on my tab s9 ultra, copying it and then pasting it to my phone. Either way, I switched to Samsung a few years ago and I'm never going back to Apple. I already started with the original iPhone, then switched to the G1 and was Android/Samsung for several years. Then switched back to Apple, got stuck for a few years and then switched back to Android. I have a lot of experience with both but i prefer the freedom of Samsung Galaxy.
The one thing I have learnt from this video, is that there are long term Apple fans out there that have never experienced a top end Samsung phone, and are still living on all the misconceptions about Android phones in general. That might have been valid years ago, but are definitely now a thing of the past. The technology and innovation is so mature now, that you would really be incredibly hard pressed to fault a flagship Android phone in 2024. They very often now exceed what Apple has to offer. You have proved this point eloquently.
If people in US think people with the wrong color bubble are "weird" then that's a sad state of society. People should be free to choose whichever phone they want. In fact they should pressure Apple into fixing these kind of monopolistic practices to discriminate with non-Apple products for no reason.
Using the S23 regular here since last year. Never experienced any lags. Those who say Android lags, that's probably not a flagship Android like Samsung's S series or any other flagship Android out there.
It's good to see someone just look at what thing's actually are without some weird emotional connection to an appliance and brand like many CZcams tech channels.
Welcome to Android world. All my kids switched since the Samsung note 3 came out 8 years ago. They love the S-pen features, and they could take notes in schools. We are a paperless family. We are doing everything digitalize in form of taking notes. There are so many great note apps on Google play store, and the are free. Such as the Squid apps, etc.
I just upgraded from the 15 pro max to the z fold 6 (I was very close to getting s 24 ultra due to how expensive this was) but I'm not disappointed I don't see myself going back to ios this thing is amazing
I was android from its inception to the S22 Ultra. I did the opposite of you i swapped to apple for 2 years. While i liked alot of things on apple you are spot on with your opinions. I just traded my 15 pro max in a couple months ago for my S24 Ultra and all i can say is its refreshing loving tte S24 ultra
😂 bro, I'm literally in this exact same situation right now. The only difference is that I'm going to keep my 14 PM for now, and trade in my old 22 ultra. They basically gave me $1000 towards a 1tb 24ultra, with $650 trade in credit and $250 instant credit, plus $100 off the new pro buds. Easy decision and I did not love my iphone experience. Miss the droid.
@@souviksikdar1864 I've never stopped enjoying any of my Sasmung phones, ever. I'm going on 3 and a half months with my s24 Ultra and I still love and enjoy it as much as day one unboxing.
@@souviksikdar1864 S24 is closest thing you can get to a computer in your pocket out there, its not even close, Apple doesn't let you do a lot of stuff you can do on android like a PC.
On one hand, my iphones always got slower with updates to the point of not trusting updates and avoiding updates. On the other hand, I update my Android phones and tablets almost immediately upon an update being available because my Android devices actually get faster, and I'm starting to trust operating system updates because they are actually trustworthy on the Android side.
I switched from Android to Apple, intensive teenager peer pressure, my Kids swore i would not regret the switch. 2 Years later im still regretting it. The grass around the apple tree aint greener.
I switched from Samsung ecosystem to apple ecosystem. Once Apple accepted USB C I had no barriers anymore. Imo, the Apple ecosystem is better and it integrates so much better.
I’m an Apple user so I don’t necessarily agree with all of the points in your review but I did enjoy your take on the differences nonetheless. Nice vid, thank you 🙏
One thing that a lot of CZcamsrs forget between iPhone and Samsung or iPhone and Android or Apple and Android is that Android phones come with faster charging technology. Apple still takes 0 to 100% roughly 2 hours where most Android phones today are charging 0 to 100% in under 40 minutes Samsung overall still takes 0 to 100% roughly 1 hour 10 mins ish. So when it comes to Samsung and overall other Android phones faster charging is one of the big key differences.
To be honest, 85% of the charge is done rather quickly in both phones, it's strongly slowed down in the last 15% because it's recommended to charge phones at 85% and not 100%, we have to see how fast can Iphones reach to 85%!
Correction: Beeper actually reverse engineered Imessage, they don't operate on server farms like some other apps. It's actually really nice but not that big of a deal since RCS is coming to the iphone with IOS 18 anyway
It's still a big deal until Apple allows you to change the color of your message bubbles. Just having a green bubble in the US has a devastating impact on the social lives of teenagers as well as adults in the dating world. It's annoying but very true in the US. RCS won't change must and Apple wants to make sure if that.
@@latingringo89 at least RCS would have the functionality. The people who care about the colour of a text bubble are shallow af. I don't wanna be friends with them anyway. Morever, I live in Europe where Whatsapp is the common messaging tool.
@M16-bf4ku Then consider all middle and upper class as well as young Americans not your friend because it's just the truth of matter unfortunately. I'm an android guy who tried the iPhone 15 Pro Max for 6 months and dreaded it besides iMessage. Really was a game changer but not enough for me to stay with that phone. Hopefully RCS helps. Beeper was a game changer for like 3 months until Apple stopped them cold.
I had s10 and recently switched to iPhone 14 Pro. Can you believe me saying that my Samsung till today is faster and smoother than this iPhone? I regret not buying Samsung again 😢
I returnened to Android only three month after trying the new iphone 4. That's right, the one with the antenna problem. First there was the antenna thing but I found out that the iphone was so restricted to use in many ways. New ring tones wase'nt just easy to install among many other customizations I was used to do on Android. Beforethe bad iphone experience I used HTC's line of phones. After the iphone I swtched to Samsung. To get near my old Android type of usage I had to jailbreake the iphone. Then when upgrades came I had to wait for the new jailbrake to make few things work again. I never went back to Apple again and I am so happy about the Galaxy S24 Ultra I have now. I have had every S model since the Samsung S6 Edge, S7 Edge, S8 Plus, NOTE 9, NOTE 10, S20 Ultra, S22 Ultra, S23 Ultra, S24 Ultra. I love it.
I was a 100% apple user until itunes destroyed my PC. Since then I've used Samsung and am always amazed at the misconceptions most iphone users still hold of Android. They're just better phones for most things.
Ive had Samsung phones since about 2008, ive always found their quality and features have been outstanding, if only we got back to the world of user replaceable batteries it would be perfect (yes i understand the demand for water resistance, however thats not one of my personal requirements, i dont think is beyond the capability of 5:28 technology to create a waterproof phone that still has an accessible battery compartment)
I started linking my s24 to my windows laptop and its great, I can message, call, use phone apps and even mirror my phone screen right onto my computer, its pretty great.
Re: Syncing the Samsung Notes app: in the settings of the app there is an option to sync Samsung notes with Microsoft OneNote. Perhaps that works for you? Also, if you want a Samsung premium phone but the S24 Ultra is too big for you (and if you have a lot of money to spend), you could try the Z Fold 6. It has the same design language, works with an S-pen, has good camera's, but it's definitely smaller. Until you fold it open, of course :)
I bought a 14 pro max 18 months ago. I've had Samsung's since the beginning. S4, S5 Active, S6, S8 Active, S21 Ultra, S22 Ultra, and now the S24 Ultra. The iPhone has been sitting on my desk for six months, gathering dust. I bought it, keeping an open mind. First off, while setting it up, it's not customizable at all. You are forced to follow how Apple developed the phone. Their cameras were never as good as Samsungs since the beginning. Fuzzy pics and videos on Facebook or Instagram. 😵💫 With the 13 and 14 models they may have finally caught up, but it took them 15+ years. The only thing I noticed was that the 14 pro max transfered files and pics/videos a lot faster, but that was just about it.
Still using my S21 2.5 years later, and no deterioration to performance. Part of me wishes it would slow down to give me an excuse to upgrade, but currently can't justify the extra cost 😅 The biggest success about Apple is the marketing to give the impression that its "cooler to have an iPhone". Once you grow up and can see past the perceived stigma of not having one, there really isn't much reason to choose an iPhone over Samsung in 2024
A fair review from an iphone user.You took your time with the device and made a proper review even tho with galaxy device,there is always something new to learn
What a fantastic comparison. Ive been using samsung phones for 20 years now and have always tried to explain to Apple users the benefits of using a Samsung phone. You have done this do well and convincingly. Well done. And thank you. Ill definitely share this video in the future instead. Anyway i really enjoyed your video and look forward to watching more.
I couldn't agree more on your size opinion. It was an adjustment going to my first Samsung Note, but LOVED all the features, and the kids loved the stylus to draw and color. (Those kids are now 18 and 17 btw.) When I upgraded to the Note 9, loved basically everything about it except having to adjust to an even larger phone. I have a great laptop and would consider getting a tablet, but hard to justify with phones this large already. Including my case, my 9 is over 7" diagonally so I have considered a flip or fold model. Unfortunately a contained stylus would be too important of a loss, so kind of stuck. My youngest is under 10 so definitely wouldn't consider anything that would deprive us of tic-tac-toe memories with dad that her older siblings all enjoyed or an on demand coloring book when she needs to be quietly patient at times. Great content. Subscribed!
If you're looking for an ecosystem, the real thing to connect everything fast is your Google account. So if you want to get your android phone and your Windows PC to work together, the answer is Google Chrome browser and all it's built in apps.
Great video. I came from Huawei p30 pro to IP 15 pro max, and I felt like going back in time with the iOs. And some silly navigation gestures and many nonsense ways of things working in iOs are just unacceptable in 2024. IPhone is really behind. On the other side, Apple knows how to pull you in with smoother design and polished looking phone in general (iOs included). Then, I bought it due to Pro Res video capability and it’s one feature only that kept me away from Samsung S24 Ultra. Also, I wanted to try iPhone as I never was into that big bubble of ideology of having it. So, in summary, I love the way it feels to have it. On the other side, iOs makes me throw this thing out of the window and saying bad word very often which makes it useless sometimes. Then the camera saves it. But hey, how often do I use pro res? Not often, and Samsung camera is actually better in details and all in day to day videos even if it’s an AI generated detail, it looks good. So Samsung went way beyond what it was and people should wake up finally. Then at the end, it comes to the users preference so, it’s up to everyone individually what they like and choose. One thing I’d add to it, making iPhone basic models, come on, these phones are prehistoric. 60hz in 2024? Come on. Apple just bugging
I switched from my iPhone to the Samsung Galaxy S23U and never looked back, I am deep in the Apple ecosystem but I can work around most stuff. Switched from iCloud to OneDrive for instance that also works om my MacBook pro an macstudio so I can share between phone and windows PC's in my household. If Apple would bring iCloud to android (native) that would be a good move though but that will prob never happen. Anyway very happy with the switch :D. Ow and the phone is still rock solid and FAST! Never slows down one bit like you said about the S24U.
"It just works" vs "I can find a way to work around most, but not all stuff, with a lot of time and effort". How exactly does that make you never look back? And will you look back when the Samsung gets pregnant whale syndrome in a few years, like all of them do?
@@freecivweb4160 doesn't take a lot of time and effort on my part. The whale syndrome you refer to swollen batteries? If so I had a few iPhones with blow up batteries over time (3GS,4S,5SE, the iP6 was the worst for me and the 11 pro max had one). This is my first time stepping over to another phone most work I don't do on my phone anyway so if that ain't Apples it doesn't matter that much. It is refreshing to play around with the S23U for over a year now. I have a LOT expensive Apple products and they are great don't get me wrong. I just wanted something different after getting all flagship products every year (except the studio and MacBooks I Own).
People are waking up Apple fanboys ya'lls lies can't keep em from switching anymore. About the smaller phone s24 plus or s24 are perfect. I've had the s24 plus since launch and it's 🔥 don't feel like it's a huge downgrade from the s24u. If size of phone matters to you s24 plus would be perfect.
Man, I would love to go back to Samsung. It's been four years since I had the Samsung Note 10 Aura Glow, and I gave it up for an iPhone. From a musician's perspective, though, Apple takes the cake when it comes to apps for instrumentalists and creators. So, aside from the Tech specs, the apps are not there. The Play Store needs a whole redesign and more support.
Get locked into google keep and google messages on your phone to access your notes and messages on your mac. And youtube music is a certified beast. I agree with you on a smaller S24 ultra smaller model.
Apple is going to support the RCS message protocol this September. RCS messages will give you the same functionality as Apple's iMessage, such as typing indicators, tapbacks, and sending messages over Wi-Fi and mobile data.
If there are features that are very easy (customizable home page), why wouldn't Apple just let people do it? I don't see why apple dick riders love them so much. Especially now that RCS messaging is a thing.
You should really try the good lock application(only for samsung,you can find it in the galaxy store) which takes the samsung mobiles to another level, if you get used to it there is no going back, it feels like every setting is right under your fingertips as you need.. One of the strongest reason swhy i prefer samsung over apple.
Yes, you right. I would love to have a smaller s24 ultra. And, at work i have to use a iphone and i miss this notes app on android. This App is fantastic.
And Apple continues to use the same 30-year-old Bluetooth codec and still claims it is Lossless Audio. Samsung supports Sony LDAC, which is the best codec available for audio, and you can buy the Soundcore Liberty 4 NC for half the price of an Airpod Pro, which already supports LDAC and comes with two drivers, one dedicated to bass and one dedicated to mids and treble. In other words, accessories outside the Apple ecosystem are cheaper, better and with more options.
Great insight, thank you. I could never make the switch (in reverse) from Android to iOS, but it was very interesting to see that it's not such a big change as people believe, and the iPhone users long held fears that have been solved for generations of Android devices.
Same here, I started with the iPhone 3GS through the XR, also I was a twenty-two-plus-year Apple user, Apple only Apple everything. In 2020 switched to the Samsung Note 20; it remains my EDC still rocking this Note 20. You are correct about Apple taking their time implementing things. It was not they do it better it was they had the marketing team saying they did it better. As you mentioned it took the EU pulling Apple kicking and screaming to using USB-C. Also, the same with RCS messaging, which is a standard, Apple will now implement it into their OS. As for messaging, for years Apple screwed over Android messaging all to maintain their users within their walled garden. Google, Microsoft, and Samsung, all have outstanding ecosystems as well, and outstanding interoperable with every other device and manufacture, but Apple deliberately continues to not work as well with other devices. Apple is all marketing for that I can give them tremendous credit. How they treat others is unconscionable. Disclaimer: I own plenty of Apple stock, yet I will not purchase another Apple product. WOW, I was amazed, to this day my Note 20 beats any iPhone I have seen. DeX is an outstanding feature which I use quite often. When my MBP gave up the ghost it was DeX to the rescue connected the Note 20 to my VIZO TV on my desk, never missed a beat. A few weeks later I switched back to Windows. My computing world opened, lack of compromises, and it is wonderful being out of Apple's walled garden, and their bullying. It is one of those experiences many do not notice until they leave Apple. Now, looking at the latest and greatest iPhone they all look quite boring next to Samsung, Google Pixel, OnePlus. In China the iPhone is quickly losing steam, at one time it had a cult like following, now they too see the iPhone as boring. Reports show their own cell phone camera put the iPhone to shame, and their phones have stronger and more features than iPhone. On a side note, Apple iPhone worldwide market share last quarter dropped to less than 18%.
Sorry to correct you, but as a long time Galaxy user, I have to. The USB-C came with the Galaxy S8 lineup. (I had a S7edge so I know it hat a micro-USB).😅 3:14
Just got my first Samsung, a Galaxy S24 Ultra, plus Galaxy Watch Ultra on Saturday. I was Apple only for 13+ years. Samsung has definitely been more of a learning curve than my Pixels were.
This idea that phones 'slow down' is classic ID10t error, not the device. Same folks probably have slow computers over time and half a page worth of browser addons
Samsung Notes is available for Windows, but only for Galaxy Book. RCS is also coming to iPhone, which means that group chats, video/photo quality and everything else will be the same in IOS 18.
Both Iphone and Samsung Galaxy is excellent phones. They differs a bit in features and ecosystems and so on. But it all comes to personal preferences, what you want from your phone. There is many great Android phones out there, but there also is many not so good Android phones. So you may need to do some research before buying an Android phone since it might not be as good as expected, or miss out on something you wanted. But, when you go to flagship level Androids they are generally very good and got you covered where you need it. But it is also possible to find gems among Android phones wich is fantastic and at the same time at a very resonable price. My only major critique to both Apple and Samsung is that their phones is very expensive.
Good choice bro, did the same thing. Got frustrated with iphones limitations, and bought the same phone you have. To me, this works way more logical and doesn't have to use itunes etc. So easy to transport videos and data between computer and phone and that Dex system is the best! Links to tv so fast and i can use my phone with my 75" tv as a computer, i have even bluetooth keyboard with it 🤘
Well I'm still rocking the S20 Ultra 4 years later. Apart from one screen replacement, usb port and battery replacement the phone is still going great. I'm struggling in all honesty to find a reason to upgrade when the phone still works well.
When it comes to video, Apple’s social media apps(ie instagram, snapchat, tiktok etc) benefit from deeper integration with Apple’s camera technology, since developers only need to optimize for a single platform. This allows for better video processing and color accuracy. In contrast, Android apps often rely on more generic video processing because developers have to account for a wide range of hardware from different manufacturers. As a result, it’s challenging for them to optimize the video capture experience across all devices, leading to less consistent results. Google should implement improved color science at a deeper system level that all Android manufacturers can utilize, rather than leaving it to each manufacturer to handle within their proprietary camera apps. This would create a more consistent experience across devices, as currently, each manufacturer’s camera app produces different results, even when using the same camera sensors, due to variations in their individual processing approaches.
Been a Samsung user since S6, but the S22 ultra was the last straw for me. Charging more for a much lesser phone in the UK due to the Exynos chips just left a bad taste in my mouth. Had really laggy performance and terrible battery life. I know they’ve changed it now but it’s hard to go back to a company that screwed you over. iPhone 15 pro max just works, less functionality yes, but I’ve not had a single problem. One of the best most reliable camera’s, best video still on a phone by a mile, and I can get 8+ hours screen on time (usually go to bed with 50% battery). Both have Pro’s and Con’s and I miss some things from android, but we got a real bad deal in the past here in the UK and the EU with Samsung.
Im an android user in the US. My main temptation to switch to iphone is to join my family in Apple's walled garden. My main reason for not switching is fear of being locked inside that garden for life.
I got an iPhone as the rest of my family. We got shared calendars, photo albums and notes etc. Everything is just easy. I do want to buy an Samsung but i’m afraid to lose the the simplicity from all the shared stuff. How do you share everything with your family today? Since you got an Samsung and your family iPhones. Got my fingers crossed you have a great solution 😃
I did choose and recently got the iphone 15 pro max. I have been an android user ever since and this is my first ever purchased iphone. I got the iphone 11 w/c I got as a gift just this yea as well and then upgraded to the latest. This is a breath of fresh air, however I do still have my android phone as a spare phone though it's not samsung but all android features they're talking about I've used it. I don't care for brand loyalty, I'll use whichever of these brands as long as I'm enjoying it. Lol
@@twig4525 we mainly use a combination of WhatsApp (messaging), Google calendar (events), and email (everything else). Aside from iPhones, they also have android tablets and Windows PCs (for work and gaming).. so we're not completely locked-in to Apple's ecosystem. Still, from my experience and theirs, there are some things that I prefer Google's app over Apple's (example, Google assistant vs Siri, Google Drive vs iCloud), and I'm not sure how Google apps/services function on iPhone (if they do at all)
The "lock" in the garden is kinda misnomer metaphor. You're "locked" only because you never want to give up the superior features of it. In other words you're not really locked, you simply won't ever want to leave.
If you don't buy other Apple Devices like the MacBook, Apple Watch, iPad, buy other Apple devices, or even buy music through iTunes then you should be good. I refused to be trapped in their ecosystem. An Apple a Year makes your money Disappear
I’m on an Umidigi Bison GT2 Pro 5G and gonna get the S26 Ultra when it releases at the start of 2026. I mean I don’t have to wait that long but I don’t need a new phone right now because my current one works like fresh out the box.
Sorry to burst your bubble but Samsung has always been more superior. Way back in the day when I purchased one of my first Samsung Galaxy Notes I compared it with the latest iPhone at the time and the Galaxy's specs were so much better. I did the same thing everytime I upgraded my phone and just so you know who the clear winner was every single time - Samsung. I have never owned an iPhone because I wanted the best, and the best back in the day was the Galaxy Note which has now been discontinued and is now called the Galaxy Ultra. It's the same phone in my honest opinion, just with a different name. I find that people who buy apple phones just do so to follow the crowd. These people don't do their research first and pay the price with an inferior product. If you do a pro's and cons list you will see that the Galaxy has far more features than the iPhone will ever have. That has always been the case.
Lol nah dude. When I go to a store and I hold a samsung vs apple the apple device always feels like higher quality. And there’s nothing else that makes a Samsung “better” they’re fucking phones lol.
Size wise, it is part of a long generation of phablets, hybrids between pnones and tablets, hence the pen, hope this helps, just got my s24ultra after bridging with a note 9 between iphone14pro from work, alwways been a samsung fan, the sky is the limit
Microsoft OneNote is a fantastic alternative to apple notes app. Samsung nots also syncs but only across samsung devices (laptop, tablet, phone) because it is natively a pen input app. PS: Did you know all versions of samsung S pen work across ALL samsung devices; laptop included?
My first and last Android phone was S9 Plus. I got it while having iPhone X (carried 2 phones at that time) because I'd been wanted to try Samsung/Android and I could confirm the misconception about it being slowed down was not misconception back then! It actually slowed down throughout each update compare to iPhone X (bought first day available). iPhone X barely slowed down, while S9 Plus started to be extremely laggy year 2. S9 Plus battery needed to be replaced after less than a year too even though it was not used that hard since I had 2 phones so average time used were shared. It's 2024 and iPhone X battery still hasn't been replaced even once. Don't get me wrong though. I'm not an Apple Fan boy. I'm sure S24 Ultra, Pixel 9 Pro, Z Flip 6, and so on are incredible phones now. Technology evolves every day and I love all tech stuff. I'd still like to try Android again one day, but my Android experience in 2018 led me to be too far deep in Apple ecosystem and switching now would cost too much money and time consuming and I think this applies to a lot of people throughout the years.
here with an S22 Ultra and it's just as snappy as it was fresh out of the box can't say the same for budget and mid-range phones but for apple users used to paying flagship prices, getting a flagship samsung is the only right move
I was an Iphone user until about the 6. Got sick of having a perfectly good phone lagging and drained of battery half way through the day. Bought a S7 edge and replaced it with a Note 10+. Great phone! Had it for over 4 years of heavy use. I could still get a full day on 1 charge. The only reason I traded it in was because of abuse on my part and Samsung gave me $400 bucks on trade it on preorder for the S24 ultra.
I drive a bike a lot, is S24 Ultra a good device for me 🤔? It's a big device right.. I wear slim fit jeans every time... Any suggestions? shall I buy a compact device like Pixel 9 / iphone 15.. or shall I go for S24 ultra..
Regarding notes you can use a bookmark of icloud notes, so no need to send them/duplicate. I am also considering fully switching to android. Thanks for the great video!!

4:57 I think this common misconception is iPhone users seeing people with really cheap Android phones and thinking all are the same.
Not a misconception.....cheap Android phones are vastly superior to Pro Max. Considering what you can do, not to mention iPhone users only use for tiktok, text messaging, and.....dang nothing more! Androids can do that too, and for a lot less than iPhone mediocre phones. I know, I had the 13 Pro Max, before that, the Asus Zenfone Flip 6....big mistake going from that to 13PM.
Pfff u want cheap and smooth fast performance and battery life. Just go for oneplus
@@Chris._P._Bacon The flagship iPhone are objectively superior to most Android devices. When it comes to flagship Android devices vs Apple flagships, it predominantly comes down to personal preference and what suites your lifestyle.
My last Samsung, the Galaxy S7 was definitely crap after a few months.
@Sweat_ii I knew you were going to say the S7 lol. Of 20 years using samsung phones the S7 was probably the worst one they produced. Since then and 8 years later samsung has made incredible improvements. It's a shame to had to experience such a phone to give you such a bad experience and consequently a bad opinion of samsung phones.
@@Sweat_ii using s24u, and I can say the reviews say the truth. It pretty good
I use an iPhone 14 pro max currently as my main phone but I picked up a Galaxy S23 Ultra for work purposes and I absolutely adore that Galaxy. I could easily see myself switching to it full time if the entire rest of my family didn't all have iPhones. This is my first Android after using iPhone 4, iPhone 5S, iPhone 6S, iPhone 8 Plus, and iPhone 13 pro max.
Same here. Have 14 pro max. Just got the flip 5 and honestly samsung is as good if not better in pretty much all aspects.
Well the good news is iPhone will finally support RCS messaging by the end of 2024 so blue bubble gang won't be relevant anymore. I think the big division that will remain is facetime. Google's messaging app has built in Google Meets that the entire world has access to via Gmail but that doesn't mean it's catch on I suppose.
I was just like you about 7 years ago, Apple phone only, then I bought my first Samsung note phone and was blown away, you can do so so so much more with android, you're not closed in an apple box, you can make your phone the way you like it, and that's just a tiny piece of it, kudos to you buddy
One of the biggest gaps in Samsung ecosystem system is a Samsung equivalent of HomePod. I recently switched to S24Ultra. My biggest issue is my kids not wanting to use WhatsApp, typical US teenagers!!!! But with RCS coming in iOS 18 this should remove this. For all of Apples self righteousness and privacy marketing they are the primary reason for bullying among kids when it comes to green bubbles blue bubbles.
take away their iphones 🙂
Change your kids😂😂😂
The colors will probable stay.
You can use another smart speaker though, the good thing is you don't have to lock yourself to a single brand.
Anyone using a device that uses 1980s message tech while at same time chooses to use a single brand proprietary messaging service and then has issue with other people's choice of device, probably need to step back and reflect on the ignorance/arrogance.
I swear no one but US citizens use iMessage. Can't live without WhatsApp. Even when I had iPhone, I never touched iMessage.
By the way, you can make your samsung device animation even more faster by enabling the developer options by going through settings, "About phone", and then "Software information". press on Build number multiple times until it says that developer mode is enabled.
Then you can find developer options at the very bottom of settings, press it and go down until you see "Window animation scale" and "Transition animation scale" & "Animator duration scale".
Press each one and make them ".5" or you can even disable them if you want.
have fun with your samsung!

Yeah yall acting like you switched from the greatest phone apple made to the greatest phone Samsung made, OF COURSE the S24 ULTRA is gonna look better than some broken ass iPhone 7 Plus
As an ex apple turned Galaxy user, you have a long way to go because you provided a lot of misunderstood in this video. Not purposely but because you haven't discovered it yet lol😂. Everything you said that "can't do" you actually can do. My file sharing between my PC, tablet and phone is EXTREMELY seamless. I can be 500 miles away from my PC and if I need files that are on my PC, they are just a click away. Also, I can copy and paste between devices. I love writing a huge message on my tab s9 ultra, copying it and then pasting it to my phone. Either way, I switched to Samsung a few years ago and I'm never going back to Apple. I already started with the original iPhone, then switched to the G1 and was Android/Samsung for several years. Then switched back to Apple, got stuck for a few years and then switched back to Android. I have a lot of experience with both but i prefer the freedom of Samsung Galaxy.
The one thing I have learnt from this video, is that there are long term Apple fans out there that have never experienced a top end Samsung phone, and are still living on all the misconceptions about Android phones in general. That might have been valid years ago, but are definitely now a thing of the past. The technology and innovation is so mature now, that you would really be incredibly hard pressed to fault a flagship Android phone in 2024. They very often now exceed what Apple has to offer.
You have proved this point eloquently.
If people in US think people with the wrong color bubble are "weird" then that's a sad state of society. People should be free to choose whichever phone they want. In fact they should pressure Apple into fixing these kind of monopolistic practices to discriminate with non-Apple products for no reason.
yeah, it's super sad how Apple gives way to elitism in the name of profit
Using the S23 regular here since last year. Never experienced any lags. Those who say Android lags, that's probably not a flagship Android like Samsung's S series or any other flagship Android out there.
I have the same phone. I have never had such a smooth experience with any Apple Decive. Not even with the IPhone 13 Pro i had before the S23.
Mostly user error, and lesser quality phones. I've always used Samsung Galaxy s series phones, and I have always liked them.
It's good to see someone just look at what thing's actually are without some weird emotional connection to an appliance and brand like many CZcams tech channels.
Welcome to Android world. All my kids switched since the Samsung note 3 came out 8 years ago. They love the S-pen features, and they could take notes in schools. We are a paperless family. We are doing everything digitalize in form of taking notes.
There are so many great note apps on Google play store, and the are free. Such as the Squid apps, etc.

definitely worth it to try out!
I had an iPhone 13 and 14 pro max. I ran back to the 24 Ultra. I'll be staying with Android...
I was android from its inception to the S22 Ultra. I did the opposite of you i swapped to apple for 2 years. While i liked alot of things on apple you are spot on with your opinions. I just traded my 15 pro max in a couple months ago for my S24 Ultra and all i can say is its refreshing loving tte S24 ultra
😂 bro, I'm literally in this exact same situation right now. The only difference is that I'm going to keep my 14 PM for now, and trade in my old 22 ultra. They basically gave me $1000 towards a 1tb 24ultra, with $650 trade in credit and $250 instant credit, plus $100 off the new pro buds. Easy decision and I did not love my iphone experience.

Swapped to Note 8 from my iPhone 7 plus back in 2017 and been on android since. Rocking the S23 ultra currently
On one hand, my iphones always got slower with updates to the point of not trusting updates and avoiding updates. On the other hand, I update my Android phones and tablets almost immediately upon an update being available because my Android devices actually get faster, and I'm starting to trust operating system updates because they are actually trustworthy on the Android side.
this is fact !

I switched from Android to Apple, intensive teenager peer pressure, my Kids swore i would not regret the switch. 2 Years later im still regretting it. The grass around the apple tree aint greener.
I switched from Samsung ecosystem to apple ecosystem. Once Apple accepted USB C I had no barriers anymore. Imo, the Apple ecosystem is better and it integrates so much better.
I’m an Apple user so I don’t necessarily agree with all of the points in your review but I did enjoy your take on the differences nonetheless. Nice vid, thank you 🙏
One thing that a lot of CZcamsrs forget between iPhone and Samsung or iPhone and Android or Apple and Android is that Android phones come with faster charging technology.
Apple still takes 0 to 100% roughly 2 hours where most Android phones today are charging 0 to 100% in under 40 minutes
Samsung overall still takes 0 to 100% roughly 1 hour 10 mins ish. So when it comes to Samsung and overall other Android phones faster charging is one of the big key differences.
To be honest, 85% of the charge is done rather quickly in both phones, it's strongly slowed down in the last 15% because it's recommended to charge phones at 85% and not 100%, we have to see how fast can Iphones reach to 85%!

Correction: Beeper actually reverse engineered Imessage, they don't operate on server farms like some other apps. It's actually really nice but not that big of a deal since RCS is coming to the iphone with IOS 18 anyway
It's still a big deal until Apple allows you to change the color of your message bubbles. Just having a green bubble in the US has a devastating impact on the social lives of teenagers as well as adults in the dating world. It's annoying but very true in the US. RCS won't change must and Apple wants to make sure if that.
@@latingringo89 at least RCS would have the functionality. The people who care about the colour of a text bubble are shallow af. I don't wanna be friends with them anyway. Morever, I live in Europe where Whatsapp is the common messaging tool.

I'm an android guy who tried the iPhone 15 Pro Max for 6 months and dreaded it besides iMessage. Really was a game changer but not enough for me to stay with that phone. Hopefully RCS helps.

Watching these videos on my S24U while having some popcorn.
I returnened to Android only three month after trying the new iphone 4. That's right, the one with the antenna problem. First there was the antenna thing but I found out that the iphone was so restricted to use in many ways. New ring tones wase'nt just easy to install among many other customizations I was used to do on Android. Beforethe bad iphone experience I used HTC's line of phones. After the iphone I swtched to Samsung. To get near my old Android type of usage I had to jailbreake the iphone. Then when upgrades came I had to wait for the new jailbrake to make few things work again. I never went back to Apple again and I am so happy about the Galaxy S24 Ultra I have now. I have had every S model since the Samsung S6 Edge, S7 Edge, S8 Plus, NOTE 9, NOTE 10, S20 Ultra, S22 Ultra, S23 Ultra, S24 Ultra. I love it.
I was a 100% apple user until itunes destroyed my PC. Since then I've used Samsung and am always amazed at the misconceptions most iphone users still hold of Android. They're just better phones for most things.
Ive had Samsung phones since about 2008, ive always found their quality and features have been outstanding, if only we got back to the world of user replaceable batteries it would be perfect (yes i understand the demand for water resistance, however thats not one of my personal requirements, i dont think is beyond the capability of 5:28 technology to create a waterproof phone that still has an accessible battery compartment)
I just got my first Galaxy Tab, and it is awesome! It how ipad out of the water. It totally "crushes" ipads.
Wow! Someone actually switched from one brand of something to a different brand of something. This is newsworthy.
got mine yesterday... cannot be happier.
I started linking my s24 to my windows laptop and its great, I can message, call, use phone apps and even mirror my phone screen right onto my computer, its pretty great.
Notes can be shared for free with Microsoft notes/task. Also if you use Microsoft phone link it will work with any app
Re: Syncing the Samsung Notes app: in the settings of the app there is an option to sync Samsung notes with Microsoft OneNote. Perhaps that works for you? Also, if you want a Samsung premium phone but the S24 Ultra is too big for you (and if you have a lot of money to spend), you could try the Z Fold 6. It has the same design language, works with an S-pen, has good camera's, but it's definitely smaller. Until you fold it open, of course :)
This guy is definitely Matt D'Avella's leaner twin brother!
I bought a 14 pro max 18 months ago. I've had Samsung's since the beginning. S4, S5 Active, S6, S8 Active, S21 Ultra, S22 Ultra, and now the S24 Ultra. The iPhone has been sitting on my desk for six months, gathering dust. I bought it, keeping an open mind. First off, while setting it up, it's not customizable at all. You are forced to follow how Apple developed the phone. Their cameras were never as good as Samsungs since the beginning. Fuzzy pics and videos on Facebook or Instagram. 😵💫
With the 13 and 14 models they may have finally caught up, but it took them 15+ years. The only thing I noticed was that the 14 pro max transfered files and pics/videos a lot faster, but that was just about it.
Still using my S21 2.5 years later, and no deterioration to performance. Part of me wishes it would slow down to give me an excuse to upgrade, but currently can't justify the extra cost 😅
The biggest success about Apple is the marketing to give the impression that its "cooler to have an iPhone". Once you grow up and can see past the perceived stigma of not having one, there really isn't much reason to choose an iPhone over Samsung in 2024
A fair review from an iphone user.You took your time with the device and made a proper review even tho with galaxy device,there is always something new to learn
What a fantastic comparison. Ive been using samsung phones for 20 years now and have always tried to explain to Apple users the benefits of using a Samsung phone. You have done this do well and convincingly. Well done. And thank you. Ill definitely share this video in the future instead.
Anyway i really enjoyed your video and look forward to watching more.
I couldn't agree more on your size opinion. It was an adjustment going to my first Samsung Note, but LOVED all the features, and the kids loved the stylus to draw and color. (Those kids are now 18 and 17 btw.) When I upgraded to the Note 9, loved basically everything about it except having to adjust to an even larger phone. I have a great laptop and would consider getting a tablet, but hard to justify with phones this large already. Including my case, my 9 is over 7" diagonally so I have considered a flip or fold model. Unfortunately a contained stylus would be too important of a loss, so kind of stuck. My youngest is under 10 so definitely wouldn't consider anything that would deprive us of tic-tac-toe memories with dad that her older siblings all enjoyed or an on demand coloring book when she needs to be quietly patient at times. Great content. Subscribed!
If you're looking for an ecosystem, the real thing to connect everything fast is your Google account. So if you want to get your android phone and your Windows PC to work together, the answer is Google Chrome browser and all it's built in apps.

Great video. I came from Huawei p30 pro to IP 15 pro max, and I felt like going back in time with the iOs. And some silly navigation gestures and many nonsense ways of things working in iOs are just unacceptable in 2024. IPhone is really behind. On the other side, Apple knows how to pull you in with smoother design and polished looking phone in general (iOs included). Then, I bought it due to Pro Res video capability and it’s one feature only that kept me away from Samsung S24 Ultra. Also, I wanted to try iPhone as I never was into that big bubble of ideology of having it. So, in summary, I love the way it feels to have it. On the other side, iOs makes me throw this thing out of the window and saying bad word very often which makes it useless sometimes. Then the camera saves it. But hey, how often do I use pro res? Not often, and Samsung camera is actually better in details and all in day to day videos even if it’s an AI generated detail, it looks good. So Samsung went way beyond what it was and people should wake up finally. Then at the end, it comes to the users preference so, it’s up to everyone individually what they like and choose.
One thing I’d add to it, making iPhone basic models, come on, these phones are prehistoric. 60hz in 2024? Come on. Apple just bugging
I switched from my iPhone to the Samsung Galaxy S23U and never looked back, I am deep in the Apple ecosystem but I can work around most stuff. Switched from iCloud to OneDrive for instance that also works om my MacBook pro an macstudio so I can share between phone and windows PC's in my household. If Apple would bring iCloud to android (native) that would be a good move though but that will prob never happen. Anyway very happy with the switch :D. Ow and the phone is still rock solid and FAST! Never slows down one bit like you said about the S24U.
"It just works" vs "I can find a way to work around most, but not all stuff, with a lot of time and effort". How exactly does that make you never look back? And will you look back when the Samsung gets pregnant whale syndrome in a few years, like all of them do?
@@freecivweb4160 doesn't take a lot of time and effort on my part. The whale syndrome you refer to swollen batteries? If so I had a few iPhones with blow up batteries over time (3GS,4S,5SE, the iP6 was the worst for me and the 11 pro max had one). This is my first time stepping over to another phone most work I don't do on my phone anyway so if that ain't Apples it doesn't matter that much. It is refreshing to play around with the S23U for over a year now. I have a LOT expensive Apple products and they are great don't get me wrong. I just wanted something different after getting all flagship products every year (except the studio and MacBooks I Own).

Man, I would love to go back to Samsung. It's been four years since I had the Samsung Note 10 Aura Glow, and I gave it up for an iPhone. From a musician's perspective, though, Apple takes the cake when it comes to apps for instrumentalists and creators. So, aside from the Tech specs, the apps are not there. The Play Store needs a whole redesign and more support.
The first USB-C port came with S8 series not S7 series :)
Get locked into google keep and google messages on your phone to access your notes and messages on your mac. And youtube music is a certified beast. I agree with you on a smaller S24 ultra smaller model.
Apple is going to support the RCS message protocol this September. RCS messages will give you the same functionality as Apple's iMessage, such as typing indicators, tapbacks, and sending messages over Wi-Fi and mobile data.
As long u keep internal memory have room like 10gb its always fast. The internal memory almost full its make your phone slower

Why do people want iPhone to become android phones?? Or want android phones to become iPhones?? I don’t understand
If there are features that are very easy (customizable home page), why wouldn't Apple just let people do it? I don't see why apple dick riders love them so much. Especially now that RCS messaging is a thing.
Their are somethings that iPhone dose better than android and something that android does better than iPhone, their is always room for improvement.

Great review!
11:00 You forgot to mention the aircraft carrier which also has great connectivity features.
And Apple continues to use the same 30-year-old Bluetooth codec and still claims it is Lossless Audio. Samsung supports Sony LDAC, which is the best codec available for audio, and you can buy the Soundcore Liberty 4 NC for half the price of an Airpod Pro, which already supports LDAC and comes with two drivers, one dedicated to bass and one dedicated to mids and treble. In other words, accessories outside the Apple ecosystem are cheaper, better and with more options.
Great insight, thank you.
I could never make the switch (in reverse) from Android to iOS, but it was very interesting to see that it's not such a big change as people believe, and the iPhone users long held fears that have been solved for generations of Android devices.
Same here, I started with the iPhone 3GS through the XR, also I was a twenty-two-plus-year Apple user, Apple only Apple everything. In 2020 switched to the Samsung Note 20; it remains my EDC still rocking this Note 20. You are correct about Apple taking their time implementing things. It was not they do it better it was they had the marketing team saying they did it better. As you mentioned it took the EU pulling Apple kicking and screaming to using USB-C. Also, the same with RCS messaging, which is a standard, Apple will now implement it into their OS. As for messaging, for years Apple screwed over Android messaging all to maintain their users within their walled garden. Google, Microsoft, and Samsung, all have outstanding ecosystems as well, and outstanding interoperable with every other device and manufacture, but Apple deliberately continues to not work as well with other devices. Apple is all marketing for that I can give them tremendous credit. How they treat others is unconscionable. Disclaimer: I own plenty of Apple stock, yet I will not purchase another Apple product.
WOW, I was amazed, to this day my Note 20 beats any iPhone I have seen. DeX is an outstanding feature which I use quite often. When my MBP gave up the ghost it was DeX to the rescue connected the Note 20 to my VIZO TV on my desk, never missed a beat. A few weeks later I switched back to Windows. My computing world opened, lack of compromises, and it is wonderful being out of Apple's walled garden, and their bullying. It is one of those experiences many do not notice until they leave Apple. Now, looking at the latest and greatest iPhone they all look quite boring next to Samsung, Google Pixel, OnePlus. In China the iPhone is quickly losing steam, at one time it had a cult like following, now they too see the iPhone as boring. Reports show their own cell phone camera put the iPhone to shame, and their phones have stronger and more features than iPhone. On a side note, Apple iPhone worldwide market share last quarter dropped to less than 18%.
Sorry to correct you, but as a long time Galaxy user, I have to. The USB-C came with the Galaxy S8 lineup. (I had a S7edge so I know it hat a micro-USB).😅 3:14

Just got my first Samsung, a Galaxy S24 Ultra, plus Galaxy Watch Ultra on Saturday. I was Apple only for 13+ years. Samsung has definitely been more of a learning curve than my Pixels were.
The screen? I mean, THAT screen?! 😍
This idea that phones 'slow down' is classic ID10t error, not the device. Same folks probably have slow computers over time and half a page worth of browser addons
Samsung Notes is available for Windows, but only for Galaxy Book. RCS is also coming to iPhone, which means that group chats, video/photo quality and everything else will be the same in IOS 18.
Both Iphone and Samsung Galaxy is excellent phones. They differs a bit in features and ecosystems and so on. But it all comes to personal preferences, what you want from your phone. There is many great Android phones out there, but there also is many not so good Android phones. So you may need to do some research before buying an Android phone since it might not be as good as expected, or miss out on something you wanted. But, when you go to flagship level Androids they are generally very good and got you covered where you need it. But it is also possible to find gems among Android phones wich is fantastic and at the same time at a very resonable price. My only major critique to both Apple and Samsung is that their phones is very expensive.
Good choice bro, did the same thing.
Got frustrated with iphones limitations, and bought the same phone you have.
To me, this works way more logical and doesn't have to use itunes etc.

When it comes to video, Apple’s social media apps(ie instagram, snapchat, tiktok etc) benefit from deeper integration with Apple’s camera technology, since developers only need to optimize for a single platform. This allows for better video processing and color accuracy. In contrast, Android apps often rely on more generic video processing because developers have to account for a wide range of hardware from different manufacturers. As a result, it’s challenging for them to optimize the video capture experience across all devices, leading to less consistent results.
Google should implement improved color science at a deeper system level that all Android manufacturers can utilize, rather than leaving it to each manufacturer to handle within their proprietary camera apps. This would create a more consistent experience across devices, as currently, each manufacturer’s camera app produces different results, even when using the same camera sensors, due to variations in their individual processing approaches.
Welcome aboard. Nice to have you :)
Been a Samsung user since S6, but the S22 ultra was the last straw for me. Charging more for a much lesser phone in the UK due to the Exynos chips just left a bad taste in my mouth. Had really laggy performance and terrible battery life. I know they’ve changed it now but it’s hard to go back to a company that screwed you over.
iPhone 15 pro max just works, less functionality yes, but I’ve not had a single problem. One of the best most reliable camera’s, best video still on a phone by a mile, and I can get 8+ hours screen on time (usually go to bed with 50% battery).
Both have Pro’s and Con’s and I miss some things from android, but we got a real bad deal in the past here in the UK and the EU with Samsung.
Im an android user in the US. My main temptation to switch to iphone is to join my family in Apple's walled garden. My main reason for not switching is fear of being locked inside that garden for life.
I got an iPhone as the rest of my family. We got shared calendars, photo albums and notes etc. Everything is just easy. I do want to buy an Samsung but i’m afraid to lose the the simplicity from all the shared stuff. How do you share everything with your family today? Since you got an Samsung and your family iPhones. Got my fingers crossed you have a great solution 😃
I did choose and recently got the iphone 15 pro max. I have been an android user ever since and this is my first ever purchased iphone. I got the iphone 11 w/c I got as a gift just this yea as well and then upgraded to the latest. This is a breath of fresh air, however I do still have my android phone as a spare phone though it's not samsung but all android features they're talking about I've used it. I don't care for brand loyalty, I'll use whichever of these brands as long as I'm enjoying it. Lol
@@twig4525 we mainly use a combination of WhatsApp (messaging), Google calendar (events), and email (everything else). Aside from iPhones, they also have android tablets and Windows PCs (for work and gaming).. so we're not completely locked-in to Apple's ecosystem. Still, from my experience and theirs, there are some things that I prefer Google's app over Apple's (example, Google assistant vs Siri, Google Drive vs iCloud), and I'm not sure how Google apps/services function on iPhone (if they do at all)
The "lock" in the garden is kinda misnomer metaphor. You're "locked" only because you never want to give up the superior features of it. In other words you're not really locked, you simply won't ever want to leave.
If you don't buy other Apple Devices like the MacBook, Apple Watch, iPad, buy other Apple devices, or even buy music through iTunes then you should be good. I refused to be trapped in their ecosystem. An Apple a Year makes your money Disappear
I’m on an Umidigi Bison GT2 Pro 5G and gonna get the S26 Ultra when it releases at the start of 2026. I mean I don’t have to wait that long but I don’t need a new phone right now because my current one works like fresh out the box.
Just switched from ip14pm to s24 ultra 🖤
Sorry to burst your bubble but Samsung has always been more superior. Way back in the day when I purchased one of my first Samsung Galaxy Notes I compared it with the latest iPhone at the time and the Galaxy's specs were so much better. I did the same thing everytime I upgraded my phone and just so you know who the clear winner was every single time - Samsung. I have never owned an iPhone because I wanted the best, and the best back in the day was the Galaxy Note which has now been discontinued and is now called the Galaxy Ultra. It's the same phone in my honest opinion, just with a different name. I find that people who buy apple phones just do so to follow the crowd. These people don't do their research first and pay the price with an inferior product. If you do a pro's and cons list you will see that the Galaxy has far more features than the iPhone will ever have. That has always been the case.
Big facts people just want to follow the trend and crowd instead of looking at the specs you’re truly getting for the $. 😢
Well i know many people who dont even wanna bother researching what they are getting they just buy the iphone
Lol nah dude. When I go to a store and I hold a samsung vs apple the apple device always feels like higher quality. And there’s nothing else that makes a Samsung “better” they’re fucking phones lol.
Hahahahaha bro just sit down
Size wise, it is part of a long generation of phablets, hybrids between pnones and tablets, hence the pen, hope this helps, just got my s24ultra after bridging with a note 9 between iphone14pro from work, alwways been a samsung fan, the sky is the limit
Microsoft OneNote is a fantastic alternative to apple notes app. Samsung nots also syncs but only across samsung devices (laptop, tablet, phone) because it is natively a pen input app.
PS: Did you know all versions of samsung S pen work across ALL samsung devices; laptop included?
My first and last Android phone was S9 Plus. I got it while having iPhone X (carried 2 phones at that time) because I'd been wanted to try Samsung/Android and I could confirm the misconception about it being slowed down was not misconception back then! It actually slowed down throughout each update compare to iPhone X (bought first day available). iPhone X barely slowed down, while S9 Plus started to be extremely laggy year 2. S9 Plus battery needed to be replaced after less than a year too even though it was not used that hard since I had 2 phones so average time used were shared. It's 2024 and iPhone X battery still hasn't been replaced even once.
Don't get me wrong though. I'm not an Apple Fan boy. I'm sure S24 Ultra, Pixel 9 Pro, Z Flip 6, and so on are incredible phones now. Technology evolves every day and I love all tech stuff. I'd still like to try Android again one day, but my Android experience in 2018 led me to be too far deep in Apple ecosystem and switching now would cost too much money and time consuming and I think this applies to a lot of people throughout the years.
here with an S22 Ultra and it's just as snappy as it was fresh out of the box
can't say the same for budget and mid-range phones
but for apple users used to paying flagship prices, getting a flagship samsung is the only right move
Your fair and just takes made me subscribe to your channel. Brilliant!
I was an Iphone user until about the 6. Got sick of having a perfectly good phone lagging and drained of battery half way through the day. Bought a S7 edge and replaced it with a Note 10+. Great phone! Had it for over 4 years of heavy use. I could still get a full day on 1 charge. The only reason I traded it in was because of abuse on my part and Samsung gave me $400 bucks on trade it on preorder for the S24 ultra.
I drive a bike a lot, is S24 Ultra a good device for me 🤔? It's a big device right.. I wear slim fit jeans every time... Any suggestions? shall I buy a compact device like Pixel 9 / iphone 15.. or shall I go for S24 ultra..
Regarding notes you can use a bookmark of icloud notes, so no need to send them/duplicate. I am also considering fully switching to android. Thanks for the great video!!
