8 Reasons Switching to Android is a NIGHTMARE!

[@PeteMatheson]

What issues have you had when switching between platforms?

[@TyroneBiggums789]

Android to iPhone, I cannot stand not having a back button home button and tabs button or a close all apps feature. Plus the notification system I prefer on galaxy and the lack of freedom to place apps where I want. Lack of options, I genuinely hate this phone but have to decide if I’m going to stay with the iPhone for iMessage or go back to galaxy for the phone I actually enjoy and am familiar with.

[@ZeroOMhert]

ecosystem compatibility

[@GiovanniMontinaro]

The only thing I cannot get is all the apps that do not allow to use them on two devices.. so I need to choose whether to use it on my iPhone or on my Pixel... Honestly, WHY???

[@turdFerguson565]

Pixel to iPhone here. I’m going into the IT field so the joy I got from fixing and exploring my android phone has diminished. Now I just want my phone to work great without me needing to worry about it. And in the ecosystem it works so well I completely understand why people would always tell me it was the reason they didn’t want to leave. Very little problems I used a lot of Google apps so when I switched, I still had everything as if nothing changed. Pixel uses gestures so I miss the back gesture. But things like casting and magic eraser and other Google features I enjoy on my iPhone and iPad and Apple Watch. Because most in my area use iOS devices airdrop had become much more useful than nearby share. I actually have an app that allows for nearby share with windows devices so my laptop is safe for now. But I do want a Mac just for the ease of use.

Am i the only one who noticed that nearly all problems he listed are somehow "American problems"? -> iMessage. Apart from the US who uses that? -> Apple's ecosystem(mac, apple watch, etc). Most of PC users in the world are window users. I hardly ever see anybody use an apple watch. Even the iphone users i know use Google, Samsung or any other manufacturer's apple watch. -> Apple pay. Here in Africa we don't use that.

[@chrislickorish6933]

My 30 month old Note 20 ultra has no camera lag, and that's storing it to the sd card. In the UK I have no problem using google pay. It works on my Watch 4 in bars, shops etc. Also you didn't mention casting with google assistant from the phone to google home displays. I often do that while my 65" TV displays my pictures of my last vacation off google photos. For me, it just works seamlessly. I use trusted devices and trusted places too. You didn't mention Secure Folder. Met a guy from NYC who felt that was a big reason to switch from iPhone!

[@mikhanch1228]

I switched from the note 20 ultra. The S23 Ultra is so much faster at downloading. Never gets hot when gaming and runs smoother and never stutters. The batter lasts ALL day

[@chrislickorish6933]

@Mįķə Håņčhø I'd change but I still like the sd card option as my Note has a 400 gb card in it. Might switch next year!

[@CarlWiganerUK]

Secure Folder? Don't they have apps like lastpass on Google? Apart from that, they have Key chain? Immediate security patches etc? Your old Note suffers camera lag, if the new ones still do its not something just introduced.

[@chrislickorish6933]

@Carl Davies As I understand it, Secure Folder is more comprehensive that offerings from Google or apple. I have a Flip 4 (with the snapdragon processor). No camera lag on that or the Note 20 for me. In fact generally the Flip is faster, but you're talking micro seconds. Still no reason to change [yet]. But would change if new flagship had sd card support

[@SamuelLee_TourManager]

Samsung Pay (on my Note 9) works very well from where I am from. 😊 I was thinking of switching over to iPhone because I am using a 2nd gen iPad Pro to make transfer of videos and photos seamlessly but nah…the freedom of using the manual control without a 3rd party app is too important (no need to pay😂). As you said towards the end of your video, does not matter what phone you use as long as you enjoy it.

[@jinvid]

I was recently considering switching when I saw the S23 Ultra. Something about that phone was making me strongly consider Android for the first time in a LONG time (and I was an Android user from back in the day). And then I realized that I went ALL IN with Apple. My entire household uses iPhones and iPads, I have a stereo pair of the OG HomePods, I have a 1st Gen AppleTV 4K, I have owned over the years 3 different MBPs. The only thing that’s missing is an Apple Watch, but I’m working on that. All of this started because the iPhone 4 was my gateway drug. Leaving all of this would be a literal nightmare because of the process.

[@shiroshnur]

Not really a nightmare, just expensive. That is, if you're trying to do it all at once, though. But the Android ecosystem is way cheaper. There's just way more stuff. And because the Android ecosystem is composed of multiple companies, it give consumer the opportunities to pick and choose which companies version of a product they would want. But with apple, everything works out of the box, so it's way simpler to set up. And there is no need to think about which one you're going to buy since you're only given the one choice. I've been telling people who are in the Apple ecosystem that are interested in trying Android that maybe they should just buy an Android and hotspot it. Or make the Android the daily driver and hotspot the iPhone. Having an extra phone in you're pocket doesn't make that much of a difference.

[@CarlWiganerUK]

@@shiroshnur It does if they're over £1000 each. Expensive is an understatement.

[@alvarez321]

That’s how they get you, I switched back to Apple back in September. I had Samsung for 10+ years. All I got was the 14 Pro, the watch, and the AirPods. I am paying off this phone and switching back to Samsung next year. There is just so much more freedom and things you can do on Samsung that you can’t do an iPhone. It’s easier to use, and the cameras are insanely better. The only thing I’ve liked on iPhone is the mute switch, the edit sent messages feature, and airdrop. That’s about it.

[@Pokeonrocks5]

I absoulutely love the fact that I can send messages on my Mac Laptop, without having to pick up my phone. It keeps me in the zone when I'm reading or doing something on my Laptop, and it saves me having to constantly pick up my phone to see if I've missed any messages! I also really love Focus Mode, and use it a lot as a law student. Plus, my Journal App, Day One, and my recent To-Do List app, Things 3, are Mac only. I had the HTC One M8 ages ago, and while I dd really like that phone, Android at that time was still super buggy, and the fragmentation with my family's group chats and with the bugginess, made me switch back.

[@hixcap9405]

On windows + android you have something like "Connect with phone" - you have whole phone emulator on your computer screen and can use all applications and messaging remotely. Calls and everything working through your computer, also if you want you can use camera ect.

[@realdjroberto1]

Samsung Camera Assistant app fixes the shutter lag. Sunbird app will be available this summer. To end the green bubble war that Apple created.

[@drakhann7]

The shutter lag you mention and the specific example you use on the S23 Ultra is only present when you are taking a full res 200 megapixels photo. It is not present in all other photo taking scenarios. The phone takes a fraction of a second to process the size of the image. Please use more accurate examples or specify the circumstances in which the shutter lag is present.

[@robertmzs]

💯 Exactly. He mentioned great points but tye camera example is not accurate. Using full res will take a bit longer to process,but it's not lag,it's a 200 mp image being processed, so there will be a delay. Pics taking with normal camera resolution is instant, just like iphone14 pro max. I have both so I can attest to it.

[@FairGround7Delorean]

Thank you I'm not the only one who noticed that. Its very disingenuous the way he used that mode to say it lags

What camera lag? Your lag looks like it's one of the camera programs you have active. You know, like how there is portrait, photo, etc...regular photo doesn't have any lag. The only time I've seen that lag you're talking about is with night photos and the AI enhancement on

The Pixel was like every 10th time the phone had something to complain like you moved the phone to fast or just random errors. Some credit card terminals didn't worked at all with Google Pay but worked perfectly with Apple Pay.

I had the 22 Ultra for a few days when i had to make so many changes from what I was use to with the iPhone, that I returned the S22 Ultra. The Apple Eco System lured me back. I really like how my Mac Mini and my iPhone and Apple Watch and my EarPods Pro work so seamlessly. I want to go back and use the S23 Ultra but it would require changing so many things that run smooth with Apple.

[@kalle5548]

It's not never used, but anything apart from scenery, photos for Christmas cards, and similar use cases, it's not used

[@charliebates7177]

Don’t forget the password. It’s so hard to change away when everything is in the keychain app.

[@levipb1403]

The shutter lag only occurs when you take a pic ar 200MP, if it's a normal pic it doesn't have it. The payment method is not a problem of Android or your device, it's your bank's, I used to have the same problem with my bank, last year I switched to Samsung and now it's available (they still don't support Google) but the problem comes from your bank

[@jdmac8584]

I switched to Android 2 weeks ago and I hate it. Every app I download has freaking ads and it's non stop lol the pod cast was hard for me. Texting is horrible on Samsung. Switching back to apple very soon

[@FoxLadyQueen]

Who’s going to tell him that apple actually has more apps on iPhone apps due to its policy than android? Who’s going to tell him that android has a built in ad blocking service, who’s going to tell him that FREE APPS NEEF ADS YOU IDIOT FOR MONEY TO CONTINUE MAKING THE GAME

[@JuicyJ_FPV]

I went the other way 2 years ago feeling board with android and just wanted to try something different but the Apple Watch ultra is the main reason I haven’t went back and a few other things I’ve learned to like. I do miss a universal back gesture ,google assistant.

[@serge0251]

Its just preference tbh. Tried an iphone before, sold it after a month and got an android again.

[@cebedojames]

I dont have imessage, apple watch. I use a dslr taking photos, I dont pay with my phone. I like the android os. I can put an sd card in it. I also have a headphone jack on my sony xperia and samsung s10e. I can multitask on my sony xperia no iphone can ever do. I dont see any advantage of the iphone. Its all worse than android.

[@cathiehealey4608]

I telluride enjoy using Samsung products because I get the best of both worlds. Using my phone, my S Tab 8+ (with keyboard cover) and Galaxy buds all work together seamlessly. I can easily transfer files (they just don't call it Airdrop), I can take calls, or answer texts from my tablet, it's just all seemless. But I also have the flexibility to not have everything in the ecosystem...like my Garmin watch, which works beautifully with my Samsung phone. I also get to take advantage of all Andoid offers, like true multi-tasking...especially using my tablet and Samsung Dex, which makes it act more like Windows while it's connected to the keyboard. Oh, and I love Samsung's S Pens. One came with both my phone and my tablet. They're not only great for writing/drawing, but they're great "remote controls" for their devices. They control the shutter of the camera, or even music controls. Super handy. The point is, there are ecosystem choices that allow you to pick and choose which tools you want to be in the ecosystem and which ones you don't.

[@MarkSmith455]

Shutter Lag: You’re using the 200mp resolution mode so of course it has a delay. Use normal res mode and photos are instant.

[@vidar99999]

in Norway we have a third party app for paying on webshops and stuff that works just fine, no need for samsung or apple pay. Android works fine as long as you not live in usa with all the apple users.

[@geebee9965]

You should give a Fitbit a go. I feel like the pixel watch wasn’t needed because of this

[@PeteMatheson]

Interesting to hear! I will take a look :)

[@sangar197]

Personally, I have Fitbit and Apple Watch ultra but the Apple Watch data is very accurate comparing to Fitbit

[@MeRacko]

if you had all your devices samsung the ecosystem is pretty great to but you can't expect your apple divice3s to work with adroid and that is an apple problem

[@jeffyu8854]

Wechat in China can do anything does not matter which phone you are using. Other countries why would it just so complicated

[@jimmytimber7074]

I really don't have any shutter lag on my s23 ultra or on my note 20 ultra. I really don't understand all the hating on Samsung cameras because mine takes photos instantly. S23 ultra is a very nice phone and I don't miss iphone at all ,it has been a few years since I have had one though. They are all nice now a days. Android is a nice option if you want a mid range phone also. You can save a lot of money if you want. The new iphone and Samsung flagships are getting pretty spendy. I don't care about iMessage. My android makes calls and texts just fine , don't care what color my bubble is.

[@PeteMatheson]

Shutter lag has almost all been fixed with the latest update, it’s much better!

[@brentsummers7377]

I'm in no hurry to get another Android phone. After using a Samsung S3 happily for years, I tried a Nokia because of its security updates & while the security updates came through regularly the Android version updates were a buggy nightmare. So, three years ago I bought an iphone 7 & couldn't be happier. Even in 2023 it still gets security updates.

[@mike_nba]

Only the US care about the imessage. The camera lag doesn't happen on my last year's oppo x5 with a snapdragon 888, so there is something wrong with your phone or samsung. Also you seem like you didn't try the ticwatch or any garmin watches. Garmin clears the Apple watch ultra with same or less money. Everything just works flawlessly outside the Apple ecosystem if you choose the right devices. Only advantage apple has is that saves you time from decision paralysis, as it offers one product in each category. But you pay a premium for that.

[@warrengaskin3863]

I use mostly Google services on iPhones that I’ve owned but it would still be a nightmare for me to switch to Android at this point in my life. I’m way too deep in the Apple ecosystem

[@PeteMatheson]

Yeah it’s definitely tricky right! If you’re using Google everything it should be a little easier for files / photos / calendars etc at least!

[@clementakatroubledchild5343]

The easy part with phones is to be comfortable with where you are. And with ecosystem it's not every android with an ecosystem it's comes with preference

[@dannyhemingway38]

Still wearing the Apple Watch though.

[@PeteMatheson]

😉

[@timi9014]

Do a comparison between the S23 plus and iPhone 14 pro

[@sangar197]

He already did, check the past videos

[@WORDversesWORLD]

As a Android user I too found it difficult to change to Apple phone, and honestly I despise the thing. But it has taught me one thing, it ain’t smart at all, and I will not fear AI like they want me to.

[@TheTuareg]

All those reasons are such a BS

[@Technocrat.]

Only Samsung is laggy shutter or bidet android phones. Only time I have taking a pic on pixel 6 pro is night mode.

[@danielnwokocha5969]

This video should be captioned "8 Reasons Switching to Android is a NIGHTMARE in the US". Most of these problems are niche - only applicable in the US.

[@hdwblade]

Android pay in the US has none of these issues..

[@JoeCastellon]

I love Android but I could never use it exclusively. So many minor things that add up to a lousy experience overall. Plus, you cannot have a SOLID experience unless you spend an iPhone's worth on an Android flagship, so in my case, if I have to spend that much to have a solid experience (AND still have the sum of all quirks), I'd rather just spend it on an iPhone and have an excellent experience overall.

[@wackyxx3388]

Bro switched at least a 100 times between ios and andriod and still cant figure where to settle

[@danijel0]

It’s pretty clear where he’s at with that Apple Watch Ultra dominating his wrist. These videos are fabricated to generate KZbin content. Also likely edited on a Mac with Final Cut Pro.

[@abrahantm95]

In my experience nfc pay is far far faaar better in android than apple. Most of the times the nfc feature dont work in apple
