It's been 30 days since I switched to the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra from the iPhone 15 Pro Max and things have not been what I expected! In this video I share my thoughts on a full month of real use with the S24 Ultra, and the ups and downs of switching from iPhone to this leading flagship Android from Samsung. I run through some frustrating and great things about the S24 Ultra, including the setup, camera, battery life, bugs, durability, WiFi speeds, display, and loads more!
So, if you're thinking of getting the S24 Ultra, and especially if you're thinking of switching from iPhone, stick around because you won't want to miss this!

What do you think about the photo and video quality on the S24 Ultra?
Thanks for the review! When is the drawing deadline?
Portland, JAMAICA in the Building!!! 👑🇯🇲🔥💥🌟⭐💯💎
SwiftKey is way faster than Samsung keyboard.
What keyboard are you using?
Am waiting for my ultra upgrading from ip11. My Face ID works in the dark with 0% screen brightness, I will miss that
As someone who is not a tech reviewer and was an actual lifelong iPhone user before switching to an Android phone last year, I feel that most of the "negative" that you mentioned are habits-driven.
this statement couldn't be more true.
Or macbook problems 😂
or just no knowledge on how to do things... like the pdf share I mean open a freaking app to share a pdf?
Yeah, and they just look for iphone features on android without finding better alternatives. I'd pick app drawer over typing and searching for an app any day.
Is false , Flossy Carter uses both of them and Androin is number one always.
Sponsered by apple?
This video is proof of how easily apple user can get confused if you give them something new or different.
I’m glad you said that. I just finished watching this video and it’s so obvious how much one relays on apple apps and software
@@bryansaanchez For the most part of apple users, the easier the better. Once you get to know your way around Android you see that most of things he complained about was just skill issues and you'll see that you can do MUCH more than iPhone can.
Yet somehow get it when Apple decides to implement a feature Android had yrs ago.
Exactly. It’s factual you use more brain power on android just facts
I would say, you see how apple users are basic lol :) and can’t actually use technology 👌🏻
Easily the best phone I've ever had. Now with the vivid slider added and camera updates this thing is just a monster of a phone.
is the videography better than the iphone?
@@kevincherian8190 It’s certainly not worse, combine that with a meaningfully better camera (and i have both) it makes the S24 my easy go to
@@kevincherian8190 is video watching experience better than Samsung on iPhone? I mean that's what most people do, most people watch videos over taking them. And if I want the best camera for videos, I'll just get a real camera not a phone.
@@kevincherian8190 tbh I have both and although the camera experience overall is better than the iphone, the iphone still takes the lead in videography, there not a day-night difference but iphone's a lil better in videography
@@kevincherian8190 nah
Every complaint he had, I also had except when trying to switch to an iPhone 15 pro. I spent several weeks with it before switching back to Android. What did I learn? Both platforms have their own problems and I don't need a new phone. 😂
I agree... I have had every single Google Pixel phone before my 13 Por Max and now my Natural Titanium 15 pro. I absolutely love iOS. I still like Android, but the battery life of most android phones, especially Pixels, compared to iPhone was really bad for me.
YES!
This guy complained about so many misalanoues things it's crazy. As someone who used the iPhone for 10+ years, I can easily say upgrading to the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra was the best choice I could have ever made when it comes to buying a phone. The pros drastically outweigh the cons and 99.9% of youtubers will vouch for that statement.
All of his videos that talk about switching to Android are like this. I feel like he just does this to troll and annoy Android users. It’s very clear that he’s extremely biased and an Apple fanboy. I switched after 7 years of using iPhone and I feel like this is leagues above an iOS device; but to an Apple fanboy, they could release a flip phone tomorrow without smart features and they’d still praise how revolutionary it is.
@@SquarePenix.📠
Yep it's a fact samsung changed my life with the s10 plus and s23 ultra and I started with ios
It sounds like you don’t know HOW to use the phone, because all those “problems” doesn’t happen with most people, we find stuff and do stuff pretty easily on Android phones. Haha
I agree. I recently purchased iPhone for the first time after only using android for 20 or so years. I found there is a lot to be missed by making the switch to apple. Android is so customizable but I’ll give apple a fair try. We’ll see what happens.
Made the switch cuz got the iPhone 13pro max on a deal had a note 10 plus I miss my galaxy about to get a zfold 5 in a few hours
Your ring door bell notification set my dog off. I had to open the front door, so she saw there was no one there.
🤣 oh man, so sorry about that! haha. I always kept forgetting to mute when I called out for Alexa in my videos. I'll add that one to the list!
@@PeteMatheson No worries. The dog was disappointed, but I thought it was funny 😊
😂 Good dog you have 😉 😎
Exactly with me...our 2 year old lab sped to the door barking!
@@DrMoorehen he's just doing his job 😂
With circle to search. You don't need to take a picture before hand if it's something that's in your surroundings. Just going into the camera app and having that item in view of the camera. You can still circle it and search. It just needs to appear on your screen. It doesn't have to be in a picture format.
Wow. I don't know y I haven't tried that. This will save time Fer sher
Almost more than half of this video was negatives that were a result of either his skill issue, nitpicks that are caused by other tech failing to work well and impacting the S24 Ultra's performance and also more of habits that are heavily centered around the Apple ecosystem.
There are real negatives here but most of the ones he listed were not really issues of the phone but issues of other things that ended up limiting the phone and also him not really knowing how to use it.. maybe cause of the expectation for some functions to work like they do on iOS even though it's not an iPhone. That's just what I gathered from this review.
But overall.. I love how this review was less technical and more of a day in the life using the phone. It's one of the videos that showed better than anything that always buy a phone that you can best integrate into your daily habits and feel most at ease while using its OS. Looking at the reviewer's daily habits and home tech ecosystem. I'd say even if he ends up loving the S24 Ultra more than an iPhone. He should stick to an iPhone cause it'll just work better with his ecosystem when it comes to day to day use.
who is this guy....???😅 he is actually whining
I got to correct you here at 17:13.
There is HD-Call if you're calling another samsung user
Not just samsung user, if u have wifi 6 the call automatically sets to hd call nd also there are settings in the phone menu to turn on hd call.
I've called plenty of people that don't use Samsung phones and it was still HD-Calling
What he secretly meant was VOIP, it is clearer than HD calls (which is a carrier thing since most phones support it)
Google Meet is the parallel to facetime on android
I have the opposite problem, When I switch from my android to IOS is really frustrating everything is so locked out, everything is too simple its feels like I'm using an old feature phone but just more powerfull
I got rid of my 15 pro max for the s24 ultra and I couldn't be happier honestly. Iphone is finished. Apple treat you like a boy. Like you are renting there products and don't own it. Samsung treat you like a man. Do what you want with it. Love it.
That's a great way to put it! You definitely feel like you're the one in charge when using an Android device, whereas Apple wants you to do things their way or the highway.
agree 100%
Ce ai făcut tu am încercat eu și am ajuns la iPhone înapoi ,decât Samsung aș prefera pixel succes .
I received the Vivid Mode update today on the S24 Ultra. I have the unlocked version with a Verizon SIM card. I must say it fixed all the issues that people complained about with the screen. In fact, in my opinion, it's a little too vibrant, but I think some people will like the slider bar that allows you to customize three levels of vibrance. It's quite nice!
P.S. I'm just coming from the iPhone 15 Pro Max. I don't regret leaving iOS; it got boring.
Yep, going to check out the new update! Although I heard that for some reason it doesn't include the screen fix for the UK update... I hope it does
Sadly, you're right. I have a paid off 14 pro that I'm keeping til no longer supported or Apple raises the bar.
@PeteMatheson hopefully it does! We need to start a petition that manufacturers treat all countries equally.
The screen doesn't need fixing...@PeteMatheson
@@PeteMathesonit works in uk mate
As someone who's always had Android/Windows stuff and "recently" (with the iPhone 13 pro) moved to iOS, and came back to Android with the Galaxy Tab S9 (after having for a while an Apple tablet), I agree with everything you said about all the software bugs. Some days it works fine and am amazed with the screen and unfortunately most of the time the tablet is driving me crazy. I did play around with all of the settings but it's just not quite right.
What I can say is it's really difficult to switch from iOS to Android because Android is so advanced comparing to iOS which makes you dumb because your benchmark ofcourse is iOS... most of the things said in this video is actually not a problem if properly used and totally not relate on how iOS works because Android has its own manner of application that you just need to learn or find out (which is really difficult if you got overly used to iOS)..
Me being a Samsung user who occasionally switches and uses iOS, I actually can't find it difficult switching between OS because my standard is OneUI which is so advance that i find switching to iOS not that complicated...
Wow you're so cool
You would like to say that iOS for a boy. Android for a man. 😅
@@achmadmuhajir3690iOS for the norms, droid for the tweakers named butters
Some of the frustrating things you mentioned comes from you being too used to how iphone works.
For example you can download your bank statement and go to the file manager app and share directly from there with native share menu, don't even need to open it.
But you are operating it like an iphone so you don't even think of the file manager.
This is just one example but some other things you pointed out are valid, not all tho.
Lock screen edit mode can be turned off so you can use fingerprint worry free btw
Exactly
Watching iPhone/ Samsung and other tech reviews just makes me realize how slaves we all are to new technology. All the “complaints” and “comparisons” we all have that makes us extremely anxious and annoyed are awfully trivial. We keep looking for the newer, faster, better etc, when have we allowed ourselves to be disappointed about a tech’s 0.0005s refresh rate? We have allowed our attention span and patience shortened massively. Every year these tech companies roll out its latest, newest, fastest and best ever devices, and we’re still not happy.
Honestly, I just follow up on the latest from Samsung and apple. Not really interested in either. I'm a gamer and Im looking for a phone that suits my needs. So redmagic for me as I feel at home with the red magic 7
The fact that you think the Apple keyboard is superior to Samsung's shows how big an Apple fanboy you are.
Try SwiftKey or Google keyboard.
You might be the first person I’ve ever seen defend the Samsung keyboard 😂
@527bmanzella I'm not defending the Samsung keyboard, but it is for sure better than Apple's lol.
Samsung keyboard is trash bro it's better to use Google keyboard.
The keyboard literally popped up half a second after he swiped like bro you swear you never get that on the iPhone sometimes I feel like it’s slower on the iPhone. Like it’s less than half a second from when he swiped 😩😂
5:50 I use the option where face unlock skips the lockscreen when it sees me, I know some people don't like it but it aleviates this issue. The phone usually unlocks before I can even put my finger down!
True. To use Face unlock, just click the power button it unlocks via face unlock. Set it first to skip swipe to unlock when using face unlock.
Fingerprint unlock, even when screen is at AOD just works.
1st ever person i heard having trouble using both face unlock and fingerprint 😅
Im using both unlock methods. No prob so far.
It's great having biometrics / thumb or fingerprint for quick authentication for everything too. Sometimes Face Unlock auto unlocks my phone in a snap, far faster than almost any time I've tried it on my iPhone14 Plus but if not, it's so nice just authenticating with biometric ID instead rather than having to swipe or tap everywhere.
@@TheRealLink I was literally explaining this to someone when you commented this, couldn't have said it better
On andriod if you know how you can set it up to have it prompt you to open a garage door or do anything for that matter like I have mine set to put the house in arriving home mode. IE turn on lights open garage door when arriving make sure AC/Heat is set. Problem is you have to know how to do it. Also if you know what you're doing you can just have it open the garage door without doing anything. It will just do it when you arrive home.
Iphone users like it all built in but the issue with that is you're extremely limited in what it can do. I have my phone setup to go to silent mode everytime at a movie theater or library then change when I leave. I also have my alarm clock set to my listen to text message in case my kids get a snow day all alarms including my kids alarms get canceled or delayed depending on the text. Andriod has so many features and advanced apps just most users never come close to mastering it. Like most truck drivers never go off road. Don't say it can't be done just say it isn't built in and you're not experienced enough to figure it out.
A lot of the issues you complained about regarding things are slow are easily solved by enabling developer options and then either turning off or speeding up animations. They designed it that way to look nice.
When setting up Face Unlock on your S24U, the first one do in bright light, alternative face do in dim light. It works for me!
Interesting tip! Will give this a try. Have you combined it with pattern rather than fingerprint?
@PeteMatheson never used pin pattern.
6 digit pin, fingerprint, face unlock, and extended Unlock, keeps my phone unlocked in my home!
23:54 better thing is to here is either set the right app as your default pdf viewer so it doesnt ask u again and again or just go my files and u can easily share it from the recents shortcuts
Yeah true, I should probably stick with Google but feel like I'll miss features if I choose the wrong one.. lol
@@PeteMatheson oh lol idk I use onedrive that's default or sometimes ocationally drive
5:11 for this issue, you could speed up animations in developer options within Settings
Illegal driving is blocked by android auto 😱
5:13 in developer opitions turn your anamtor scale to .5 for all 3 options to speed it it. Or turn it of to remove the anamation all together(fastest)
iPhone users can not comprehend such settings, it doesn't exist in their realm hence it will never be done by an iPhone user reviewing an android device.
18:00 im seriously question if you have a faulty unit, but the s24 is the cleanest while on call with other persons... and you can costumise every sound, for app/person individually... one thing is... maybe ur not looking the right way, android apps are different,maybe try to change ring tone/notification tone, on that specific app settings, hope this help :D
12:48 I mean, it is a safety feature. Do your location and searching before you drive!
4:40 I too love keeping my home screen clean and searching for my apps. I've switched to the home screen only layout in home screen settings, but the keyboard doesnt pop up at all when i swipe up to search. I get the search screen, but I have to tap in the search field for the keyboard to open up. Driving me crazy!
I was an iPhone user that switched to a Z Fold 5 for about 6 months and just switched back to an iPhone again... I got the same notification sound problem as you! Sometimes I was able save the day by uninstalling and reinstalling an app, but in some cases I had to download the app notification sound manually just like you did. Happy to see that I wasn't alone!!
One thing I've learned about Android is that you'll go from "In Android, you cannot do......." to "Oh, I didn't know, my bad" pretty quickly.
As someone has mentioned in another comment, our habits are our problems, not the drawbacks of a product😅
One of the better comparisons of these phones/platforms I have seen on CZcams. Touching on the day to day usage differences, even though this may vary between people. Overall, a great job 👏
Hats off sir because you actually spent some time with a phone and OS you aren't familiar with and didn't judgeit based on a short look. I could never switch to iPhone for many reasons, but mostly features on Samsung that aren't on iPhone (like split screen, one-handed mode, multitasking, Spen and other things).
I'm more for what best suits me and I like making a phone feel like mine and the home screen is a big part of that (which iPhone just auto align the icons at the top which makes it further to reach one handed, so not for me).
The Spen makes it convenient to use the phone without my fingers smudging the screen and using it by writing on the keyboard is also nice
Appreciated! I do genuinely enjoy trying all Android phones. It's far more interesting & exciting than the same old iPhone experience every year. But you hit the nail on the head, it's what works best for you - which won't be the same as what works best for someone else :)
Thanks for watching man!
Yes. Your phone will never exactly feel like your own if it's an iPhone.
@@GeeEee75Mine sure does lol not everyone wants to customize every little detail. Coming from an ex-Android user who genuinely loves both.
To hear you speak about the keybaord as being a thing that was an issue for you is sad to hear cause on my galaxy s9 plus, the Samsung keybaord also has that same problem correcting the typos.. I thought it would be better on the s24 series.. I just use the SwiftKey keybaord i invested in a while ago which seems better.
Nice Video review
you know you can install android usb drivers for mac to allow file transfer right?
The Ultra phones are freaking awesome and I love the screens but after 1 year of use I went back to iPhone for a few reasons only. Constancy, no more apps lagging sometimes. Video quality, it’s way superior on iPhone especially the 15pro Max. And the optimisation of the apps. It’s just a better experience for content creators. I still have my Ultra and iPhone and I jump back and forwards wishing I could combine things from both phones but the random lagging sometimes in the Ultra shows me I made the right call for me.
Whatever problems you said, except the notification sound, are irrelevant.
5:30 You can have the face unlock take you directly to the home screen instead of staying on the lock screen like the iphone.
Forgot to mention this! Actually disabled that as I wanted to unlock to see notifications without touching the phone too much
The first complaint about the animations being slow when there's an option to speed up or eliminate animations all together... maybe i didn't realize just how few setting options apple has 🤣
I really agree though the color difference between the different lenses is really horrible
You can switch the Google assistant to the new Google Gemini under the assistant setting. However, Gemini can't manage your calendar or reminders, so it's not very useful in that regard.
Yeah loving the Gemini but I kinda want it to have access to my data to be useful. Good to see them making moves though!
Bigsby is a lot better than it used to be and I actually find myself using it more now for things like that.
gemini is racist
Gemini has some other big problems at the moment.
Hello, question on the search up swipe. How do you get your keyboard to auto pop up? Mine doesn't do that I have to swipe up and then click on search to bring up the key board
I recently switched to IOS after google failed to make a petite phone that wasn't stripped down but Siri might be the one feature that drives me back to android. I don't think I can live with " I found this on the web" I found this on the web ain't gonna cut it.
Great upload as usual horse, having got the S23 Ultra last year I'll probably upgrade in 3 years or so.
I do like that flat screen though!
I go back and forth between ios and android regularly...i love that someone finally called out the media output widget. Its such a underrated feature!! Instant source of pain when i go back to apple. Well done.
most of issues are related to you, as you are new may be, you can change settings to fix them
Funny when people say ok cameras, but iphone was 10th place in an actual blind test
That is because what most of us like isn’t exactly what creators want out of their cameras because they’d need the flexibility to colour grade and edit. Different needs mean different priorities. Another reason, which MKBHD called out in the past blind tests as well, is consistency. But normal phone users should not care about any of that.
Hey Pete, don't know if you're phone reception has to do with exynos this year, the modem is sub par, and has been for awhile. Keep up the great work 👍
its got snapdragon in the ultra its only s24 got the exynos chip.
I made the switch from iPhone 6plus to note 8 and haven't gone back.
Routines is such a powerful feature. I know these are mostly personal behaviors but, how about i tell you can set to change the EQ based on the bluetooth device you connect to. Or, you can define a night-time routine to silence the phone except the calls from your family.
Did you try enabling "Voice Focus" for your phone calls?
I found moving from Apple to android very easy. But the move from android to Apple difficult
Interesting to hear! I think it's difficult either way you switch if you've always used one or another for any length of time. Glad you were able to switch alright!
I agree with you 100%...
Aici ai dreptate și când am trecut la iPhone a fost super ciudat și greu dar după nu am mai vrut android și am avut și Samsung s24 ultra și aș prefera un pixel am și avut și mi s-a părut super curat și ok dar părerile sunt total diferite.
Because IOS if for simpletons
You can now use Gemini instead of Google Assistant on the Samsung Galaxy as well as Google Pixel phones.
As an iPhone user, I recently acquired the Samsung S24 Ultra to explore its advanced AI capabilities. While I appreciate the S24 Ultra's impressive design, superior display, and enhanced S Pen functionality, I acknowledge that the iPhone's camera system remains superior in terms of professional photography. Nevertheless, the S24 Ultra's AI features, particularly in photo editing, offer a fun and creative experience, albeit not suitable for professional use. I intend to maintain my iPhone for its ecosystem integration while exploring the S24 Ultra's capabilities.
It just sounds wrong saying "professional" about photos or videos _on a phone_ 😅
Nothing about the IPhones cameras is professional 🤣
You can disable the edit lock screen feature so you don't run into that problem.
I don't use face unlock at night because I rely on my fingerprint so I don't use the brighten screen. There's solutions to a lot of these inconveniences but people don't like looking into them and "give up" rather than try and find a solution.
When setting up face unlock on the S24 U, first one is a well lit room, then you set up an alternative face, I set it up, lights off TV on, works just fine for me. It actually gets smart as time goes on and learns our face. In my home, I use extended unlock. I don't need my phone to lock if I am at home. To find this setting, go to settings, type in the search box, extended, tap on extended Unlock, put in our pin, if you already have an address associated with your Google account tap on that address and add as trusted place.
Can you try sony xperia 1 for 30days and compare it with the samsung?
I would be interested in you trying something like the pixel or oneplus phone to try a more stock version of android.
Interesting comment about the sounds. The sounds for each app were natively unique unless you overwrite the notifications
You can reduce animation times on developer options to make the keyboard appear 5x faster at maximum
It's set to 0.5x already, though might play with 0x or just switch to something like nova launcher
Again the problem... Why wouldn't this be automatic. That's the main issue I have.
Also a quick fix to the keyboard issue I would suggest using the gboard. It is Google's keyboard. After about 2 or 3 days of typing quite a bit it recognized all of my normal mistakes and I almost never make typos anymore. Samsung keyboard is still pretty garbage
@@Cryptid71yeah gboard is goated
What you have said is 100 percent correct very genuine review i've watched till date👏
Same problems even i face with my s23 Ultra samusng should work more on their phones to compete with iphones
The thing is, Samsung adds alot of bells and whistles to catch your attention so you buy the product. After using it you see the attention to detail it's not there and the software it's not polished.
@@tamasbogdan9493 yes
@@tamasbogdan9493 if samsung improves that then it is awesome
Really interesting video Pete. I was feeling bored with iPhone and the 15 Pro Max seemed too similar to my 13 Pro Max. So I treated myself to a OnePlus Open for xmas, and it’s been a couple of months now. I recognise many of these irritations, and given that it’s Samsung too, figure perhaps it’s Android, rather than OnePlus’s software. Overall, nothing works quite as seamlessly as it does on iOS. Glitches on opening, glitches with the keyboard, alarm’s not going off, having to open Wallet. iOS just works exactly as you expect, where Android can be slightly random. Having said that, I love, love, love the screen-estate. I feels like a normal phone in your pocket but transforms when you open it. I love the cameras, I love reading books on it… there’s a lot to like.
Hey Ben! Thank you :)
The Open is such a fun device. I love a good foldable, OnePlus Open is the top of that list!
Good to see you here in the comments bud!
@@PeteMatheson do I'm intrigued, how come the Open hasn't become your daily driver?
Because they took it back off of me 🤣
Also because the S24 launch happened.
Excited for the Pixel Fold 2 now but currently using the regular S24 and it's kinda nice!
Idk how you managed it I ve always had problems and glitches with Apple keyboard yet never had problems with Google keyboard on Android. Also alarms not going off? Is that a thing? The only time my alarm didn't went off was on my s23 because apparently i didn't set them correctly. Android has a pretty dumb proof alarm notification too which tells you in how much time your alarm will ring
Definitely user error. Haven't experienced the things you complain about for over 12 years.
I played with the S24 Ultra in the shop and used the AI summary on a website but I was surprised to see that I couldn't select the text from the AI summary. Is there some way to select the text so you can copy-paste etc?
yes
@@derrickmack1029 And? How do you do it? I assume there is a workaround like taking a screenshot and then selecting the text from there but if that is the only way to do it then that’s a UI design fail.
All the problems that Pete mentioned sound fixable, like the light for ex: I'd adjust the light and set a blue light filter so my eyes won't burn in the morning.
It’s just laziness lol
16:32 I have this issue with my iPhone 14 Pro Max, mostly with my mom who also has the 14 pro max, it’s a bit better when I use FaceTime audio or video. Last year I used the 23 ultra and the person on the other line would hear voices even though I was in a quiet room, until now I hadn’t realized just how bad Samsung can be with phone calls
I really like the S24U, but you hit on the main reason I stayed with my S23U: The camera. I saw the same thing as you. IMHO, the camera on the S23U takes better pictures, especially when you zoom ..
As you stated, these are actually cameras with a phone attachment. Samsung really needed to improve, or at least not degrade the camera quality.
Beyond that, the S24U is a great device, and I like many of the directions they are going with it. Maybe the next version will have a better camera.
the thing apple does a lot better than android is that they think about what they are doing and really try to make everything perfect what they do and really care about how it looks
I think some of these issues would be the same switching from android to iphone. You have to change and adapt how you use things, mess around with settings etc at least initially to get things set up the way you like them
I faced the same issue like you in keyboard. In Iphone I used to swipe and then search whatever I want in the phone from notes, files, contacts and anything you have in your phone. Unlike Android phones you cannot. In pixel 8 that I have now swipe to search the keyboard pop up just fine however you cannot search for documents inside your phone.
Have you worked out how to have your photo library sync from your phone to Google photos? And by this I mean if you tidy up your library on the phone and delete duplicates etc do these sync to Google photos or do you end up with two separate photo libraries that you need to manage?
it's a google problem...
@@JoaoSilva-gs5jb It’s still a problem…
@@The.JZA. a big one
@@JoaoSilva-gs5jb Agreed. iCloud Photos is next level for managing your photo/video library and also having shared libraries with family etc. Google needs to sort this out.
What happened maahn 41mins.
Good video btw.
Need more of these.
haha! Thank you 😁 Needed the time to explain this time around. Going to try for more longer vids in future as we figure out the format!
at the end which one of them i should to got ?
to use Android you have to forget about Apple, apparently you can't, that's why you still want Samsung to do everything the same as the iPhone. It's like moving from a Bentley to a Maybach. These two cars are similar but very different, until you understand this, your transfers make no sense.
5:00 you can make it appear faster by increasing the overall system animation speed.
So is it worth getting? I have the iPhone 14 Pro Max is it worth swooping?
You should deff have more subscribers than you do. Another great video and it was so nice to hear about day to day stuff and not just another video regurgitating info about the new AI features
29:02 Can you have a phone call and have the phone transcribe the call so that you can refer back to it later? I have seen the translate version of this and also the one where Samsung answers the call for you and transcribes it but I just want to have a normal phone call and have a transcription of it at the end. This would be handy when architects or builders call me while I am out of the office and then I can refer back to that call when I get back to the office. This would be especially handy if the phone could not only transcribe it but summarise it into bullet points.
one issue I had with the S23 Ultra was Facebook messenger notifications never got received until the app was opened. Assuming the same issue still exists on the S24
You can fix this in notification settings
I call this skill issue. 😂
@@TheRealGigaCat or old age. Whichever 😂
@@sigarner01 honestly I would call that a feature. Lol. No distractions until I want it. But generally speaking, if this happens then it's due to battery management of that app set to aggressive.
It was definitely a Messenger App issue. I have the S23 Ultra and would only have that issue when the app would update in the background so I didnt realize it.
there is a setting you can use to speed up transistions, by up to 4x iirc.
I’m glad you highlighted the difficulties using with Apple devices. I want to try Android again (one plus 12 or the Z fold) but have the IPad, Apple TV, HomePod at home. Gives me something to think about. Good video mate.
Thanks Mark! Appreciated bud :) It's still nice to not use an iPhone, but yeah, does introduce some issues. Particularly with the new HomeKit doorbell that's just arrived... lol
This is a very clear and straightforward video! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Just get Zedge and pick and download which custom notifications you want
I’m not planning to switch to an android phone but your video was very interesting! Thank you 👍
Android Auto is a mess. With my Pixel 7 Pro it would connect without audio, disconnect constantly, and trying to make a phone call would never work. The instability with certain apps also made me switch to iPhone.
Honestly, which one is the best between the iPhone 15 Pro Max, Google Pixel 8 Pro and Galaxy S24 Ultra ? Best for battery life, pictures quality (I don't make videos) and general durability ? Thanks in advance 🙂
I use google calender and assistent on ios. I have setup siri to ask google so i can ask both assistents. I also use google drive and mail a lot more. (I come from the samsung s23, *best samsung phone*)
Pete go into Developer Options and turn animations down to 0.5! And all the smooth animations like keyboard pop up! Gone....
At the 4:50 point you can actually change this animation speed to .5 or even 0 (no animation) in developer settings…..I mean I am pretty sure it’ll work.
I've had similar experiences with NFC location.
can install Smart Switch to access the phone on mac
We got the same phone and monitor lol. I do enjoy the platform i use but im never so locked in i cant switch
I've had Samsung since the S3, I tried switching to iPhone 8, turned it in right away 😂 guess we stick with what we know best
Don't have any of those problems in my OnePlus 12 they hear me very clearly
Whats the theme of your keyboard ❤❤❤❤
Regarding transferring data from iPhone to Samsung phone, you can use ( smart switch )😅
Works to move files back and forth between Mac and Samsung also (drag and drop to or from Finder into the folder in Smart Switch). Personally aside from when I need to copy music across when I first get the phone, this is literally something I never have to do - it's all cloud sync'd and I never think about it.
Atleast here in Australia Apple offers a similar trade in program to the one you mentioned with Samsung.
Another compromise of Android auto compared to carplay is that it's slow,alot of lag everywhere.
I’ve got a IPhone 13 Pro Max. I am thinking of getting an Samsung S Ultra Series/ whatever the latest one is when I decide to get one. Anyone who owned a newer iPhone know if the move to Samsung is worth it? I do also have a MacBook M2 15” so the ecosystem may be different but planning on getting the Samsung Watch with the phone.
My Spotify has been doing that lately on my iPhone 15 pro max
Hey @pete matheson, I have the same problems on spotify both on android auto and carplay (have both android and ios) in the same time so it was just faulty version of spotify
Interesting! Never had it before on iOS and the second I unlocked my iPhone I tested it and didn't have any issues. Hopefully that's all it was with a software bug :)
@@PeteMatheson Yeah, and it was visible like week - 2weeks ago, perfect timing when you switch to s24u . Cheers from S24U also
