    Being able to use two apps at once via splitting the screen is a big one for me. Reconciling the checking account is way easier. Both phones are super badass! However, I chose to use my 24+ over my 15PM because it's more useful. I have both eco systems and yes, Apple's is better. But I'm not a CZcamsr. I use my phone more than the tablet.

      The way I look at it isn’t popular with Apple people, I am fortunate to have both phones for work. The Apple is for the people who don’t want anything to complicated and testing which is ok because it’s a system you really can’t muck up, Unlike Android which opens up the way to unlimited customisation which opens up the way to endless possibilities

    The funny thing is that the 24ultra actually uses more titanium. Also the 24 from the 23 went from aluminum to titanium rather then apple that went from steel to titanium which is why it dropped a lot of weight in compared. Aluminum is already lighter then steel and pretty close to same weight as titanium. I myself on my 23Ultra wouldn't feel any difference since I still have all my edge plastic protection and case from purchase 6 months ago. 😅

    Thanks for the video. Update: I returned my S24Ultra, and went back to my IPhone 15pro. Not because of the ecosystem, but because Apple software for me is just more refined and is more seamless. Notes for Apple is by far for me the best. On android I had to look for a third part app, to try to get something that was similar in functionality and…wasn’t there? The fingerprint sensor on the S24ultra though better than the P8P still is finicky and not that accurate, same goes with face unlock which still does not work if lighting is not optimal. The build quality of the S24ultra is fantastic.. and yes the screen is sharper than the iPhone. I still believe that the iPhone takes better pictures and video from experience they just seem to be a bit more natural and sharper looking. If the face unlock and fingerprint sensor were more consistent I probably would go with the P8P as I think I like the more bare bones android experience.

      I feel you on this. I can't speak from an iPhone perspective being as though I no longer own an iPhone, however I still know exactly what you are saying because I do own 2 MacBook Pros and a iPad and know from experience how horrible it is to download apps / software from the internet and have on my MacBook Pros. Something as simple as Google Chrome. I seen times where I was able to get it to install from the Internet, and everything worked fine until I shutdown my MacBook Pro, the icon always disappears which is very annoying to have to install it all over again. It's not like that with Windows or Android. I feel if I'm being forced to use Safari as my Browser when fact is , it should always be my choice no matter what. It's for very simple reasons like this why I just can't do the iPhone thing. I want what I want on my devices, not simply what the one that just charged me an arm and a leg for it wants me to have on it. And that's bottom line material.

    OF COURSE we want a full comparison of the camera systems. Did you really need to ask? Personally, I'm particularly interested in the 5X cameras, especially on sharpness and cropping. Does the higher resolution of the S24 make a meaningful difference? Similarly, does the higher res of the S24 main lens pay off? I've heard that the main lens of the S24 binned down to 50mpx is its best look, but how does that compare heads up vs the 48mpx shots from the Max main camera? Finally please pay attention to sharpness. Sure, the AI and bokeh and night mode stuff is important. But at the end of the day, I want to be able to get pictures that are actually sharp, not just processed to look sharp.

    Nice.
    I've got an iPhone 15 plus and Ultra and they are both great phones. The iPhone is more integrated, consistent and better speaker and audio wired (true bit audio output). And a real shame that neither support aptx, neither sound as good as cheaper phones with aptx adaptive earbuds.
    I love the Ultra's stylus. Amd great tgat Samsung have followed Apple's lead with longer updates. A shame Samsung have copied ios so much (scrolling widgets, focus modes, lock screen and more), it makes my Ultra feel a bit like a "me too" though it has a large range of features. I'm hoping Samsung will go down the Nothing phone UI route and go for something fun and distinctive).
    The Ultra could do with copying the button placement and balance in the hand of the iPhone and move the bottom lens up - my index finger lands on the ultras bottom lens. And it would allow Samsung to put the stylus on the right side, making it easier for right handed people to get to rhe stylus.
    But they're both excellent phones.

      Apple is better.
      Half my family is Apple and half Samsung….the Samsung half has to get a new phone every 2 years because they don’t last & the ones that have Apple we get to run the sucker until the software won’t update. My dad is still using an IPhone 11 Pro Max that works just like the day he got it. I have an MacBook I purchased in 2012 that still works like the day I got it as well. I’m on a 14 pro max right now and plan on using it for at least 3 more years minimum maybe 5. if I upgrade my iPhones it’s because I like the drastic change in the design which they only really have significant changes every 3years & even when I do that I trade it in because the IPhone is still functional and perfectly good.
      ive held and used a Samsung as my mom once asked me to send and email and text for her cause she was driving & couldnt…..that phone felt cheap in hand quality wise and the functionality of it was all over the place. The functionality of an Apple is very streamline and straight forward.

    It wasn't an issue of the screen on the s24 ultra being washed out. The colors were toned down a bit, which Samsung openly admitted. It's a non-issue, as the first update will include the vividness slider. I think it's really weird that you're acting like it wasn't a thing at all. You may like the new colors, but it was an issue. Also, s24 ultra is android 14. I'm loving my s24 ultra, and after this first big update on Feb 22, it will get even better.
