Everyday Apple User Switches to Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra: 45 Days Later Review (Its Not Even Close)

I am an everyday apple user and switched to the Galaxy S24 Ultra. I use a Macbook everyday for clinical work and the channel, my IPad Pro got me all the way through graduate school, and the IPhone 15 Pro Max lets me connect with friends and family in fun ways. Using the Galaxy s24 Ultra 45 days later, its apparent that it's not even really close which is the better device on a day to day basis, and today I break down my user experience for you guys so you can make an informed decision.

[@light_bringer_82]

Exactly, you pay money for tech to have a solution for almost everything. Thats why s24 ultra is king

[@David.AVelez]

I want to say YES! But it really depends. Not everyone buys Tech for that reason, BUT For the amount of money IPhones cost, you should get those bang features that assist every day living

[@hobosnake1]

I think there's a benefit and polish that Apple is afforded because they keep options fewer and don't throw a million things at the wall to see what sticks. There's upsides to how each one does it. That being said, apple has been a little too restrictive. They just have to lighten up their control like 15%. I would never want ios to lose its polish. I'm typing this from my s22 ultra that I still really enjoy to this day. Can't wait for the 16 pro max. Probably gonna make the switch. It's pretty much back and forth each upgrade, but as I get older I'm starting to think I might just settle in with iphone. Especially since the new lawsuits and stuff are finally forcing them to make some consumer friendly changes and additions to their phones.

[@Juicemanee]

@@hobosnake1I agree with you 100% I choose polishness, stability, simplicity over customisation. I just can’t imagine having the S24U long term after the excitement fades away. I believe once the iPhone becomes more customisable it will be more exciting and enjoyable for me.

[@Juicemanee]

That’s good for you, iPhone is king for me , we all have different needs

[@wheely4405]

​@Juicemanee customisation can bring more simplicity/ efficiency , ever tried to actually use it? Or you just go with the out of the box experience wich is pointless.. I mean why pay 1k just for that. Go on try one hand operation plus app and micro gesture app and with swipe gestures instead of iphone navingation gestures or digital navigation buttons There's no going back for me

Both are absolutely great phones and the IPhone does what it can do very well! Bit for me, the 23U and 24/Galaxy Fold 5 are more true life companions than the IP is Thanks for sharing your perspective!

[@menilsonfilho6400]

Same here. Had iphone 3, 4, 5, 6... Then Samsung S8 Plus, Note 10, Folder 3, Flip 5, nor S24U. No way to come back to Apple like they are now...

Hello David, I appreciate your content and believe that your channel has the potential to grow significantly in the near future. Consistency and regular uploads will be key to achieving this. Best regards!

[@confounded_feline]

I sort of fell into the eco system. I owned samsung phones for years now after a long term iphone ownership. I ended up not intentionally buying some samsung TVs and the integration plus the routines you can do to automate your phone and your house is fantastic. It's so seamless and dex has allowed me to keep my PC plugged into my 65" TV which is much better than any monitor I own in everyday for gaming. Dex I use at my normal work desk for my casual PC use and of course I use it for my work laptop for my coding work.

[@confounded_feline]

Tempted to get a tablet coming from a Fold 3 which I enjoyed reading in extensively. Is it worth it? Or is there too much overlap with an S2X Ultra?

I’m an iPhone user looking to switch to the Samsung s24 ultra. I personally don’t care for all the sketchy stuff apple pulls with their iphone updates.. I’m over it.

[@sarahspr8950]

I‘m currently in the same situation! I upgraded from my iPhone 12 PM to 15 when it was released because my preordered 15 Pro took me to long to be delivered. My 15 though fell down a few weeks ago exactly on the lock button and since then, I can’t (un)lock my iPhone with the button anymore and I was now thinking of replacing it with the 15 Pro. BUT: Recently I was shopping and came across the Galaxy S24 and I was SO impressed by how similar they look and how GOOD it was. I am an iPhone user since the 3GS (before I had the Galaxy S3) and back then, I hated Android. But now I really think about switching although I got the HomePod, Apple Watch, MB Air + AirPods. I keep seeing new bugs within my iOS 17 and I’m tired of this… on the other hand, I‘m not yet over the fact of not having an iPhone anymore 🥲

If you considee that to not bias, if someone not mention that he is comparing 2 different generations.

As someone who uses both Android and iOS, I believe the Samsung Ultra justifies its price tag. It's my main phone, while I keep a regular iPhone for iOS-specific things and family communication. I also switch between a PC and a MacBook, so I take advantage of DeX and Link to Windows functions. Let's be honest, I'm a tech enthusiast who enjoys having the best of both worlds. It's not for everyone; juggling multiple devices can be cumbersome. The key is to choose what best suits your needs and lifestyle. For me, it seems I'll be captain two-phones for the foreseeable future. I'm not loyal to any brand, just exploring what each ecosystem offers.

[@ConnieLitrenta]

Hey, I'm pretty much like you. Tech enthusiast and IT Professional who appreciates many devices. I own S24U, Fold 5 and iPhone 15 Pro (mostly for family stuff) but there are simply to many things I can do with my S24U that can't be done on the iPhone. Galaxy AI is game changer.

I'm with you. I switched to iPhone 14 pro max for three months and was a bad experience starting with the back gesture. iPhone do not have the exact feature. I also hate the iPhone keyboard because you need to change langague to write different languages. In Android there are many keyboards (Gboard and Swiftkey are the kings) that you can write in multiple languages without change the language everytime you want to use it. The Apple in apps settings and menus are not intuitive. The settings on Android apps are in the same app. But in Apple you need to go to the phone menu settings etc. Now, the gap between IOS and Android is close and for me Samsung is the best smartphone.

Great video. Questions. What messaging app do you use and do you use Samsung Gallery app? Are you able to get Samsung Gallery app and Google photos to sync together?

[@Linkpharm]

Google messages is the only rcs app. Newer Samsung phones don't come with Samsung messages. WhatsApp works of course. Also, Samsung photos sync to one drive, which is worse if you use it. However, actually using Google photos is terrible. Ads for better photo editing and misleading messages for backup. The first time you open it, a nonclosable suggestion to "not backup", or "backup". This isn't so bad, but as soon as you take the reasonable choice of backing it up, nearly everybody will exceed 15gb of photos and videos. Before you exceed it, it tells you to "free up storage", which is just downloading a copy from Google when you open a photo, and deleting them from your phone. It's very misleading, however it gets worse. You pay 10$ a month or whatever it is for 100gb cloud, fine. You want to stop? You have to find "Google takeout", which is buried on Google and hard to find. Then you have to download your entire photo and video library in 5-20 zips, then uncompress them. Metadata except data taken is eraced, and on a s21 1gbit internet, this took an entire day. The worst part is actually being able to use Gmail, Google suite, which you pretty much have to. They block everything until you go under that 15gb mark. There is no easier way than clicking every day there's a photo taken on a laggy desktop enter face, for about an hour. It's so bad, there's a script to do it on github. If you finally do it, Google photos will still pester you to backup. Google photos is terrible. Use something else.

[@nreeldeep1]

I have an S22 Ultra. I switched to the iPhone 15 Pro Max once my coworker demonstrated the incredible face unlock abilities of the her iPhone. It was a game changer for me. I still keep the S22 for media consumption, but the 15 Pro Max is the workhorse now. The ability to instantly open amy with a glance did it for me. It's SO freaking convenient and reliable and has so many applications. I'm an ole skool Android head. When or if Samsumg, or "Copysung" as my wife calls the company, gets the type of face unlock tech that Apple uses, I'll be picking up whichever number Ultra Samsung is on at the moment. And for all the reasons this talented reviewer outlined in this video. But not without the face ID tech.

Nice review 👌

[@gumpster66]

I've been an Iphone and Android user since 2004, I really love my Iphone. I bought a used Galaxy phone was impressed. But I decided to take the leap and in two days I'll have a S24 ultra in my hands. I'm 58 and very tech savvy, I can use any phone. But looking forward to trying the S24 Ultra. Thanks for the video. :)

[@ConnieLitrenta]

If you're like me, you'll end up using both. I prefer the S24U but the darn family makes getting rid of iPhone a little bit problematic. 🙂

[@Tailsnpaws]

A nice review David... but I have to tell you WHY my family chose the iPhone over all others. 2 years ago our 84 year old mother fell at home. The iPhone called automatically and got her medical attention. A month later our uncle was involved in an auto accident. Again, the iPhone called for help with the exact location. Then, while hiking in the Adirondack Mountains last Summer, we became lost. No cell service for anyone in our group. The iPhone sent a text via satellite and help arrived. That one was a bit costly but happily paid. Yes, the new Samsungs are incredible but since we don't like gaming on a small screen, we will stick to the important things in real life. Thanks again . Liked and subscribed.

What's going on? Another great video, as usual. I'm in both ecosystems. I have the S24U, Z Fold 4, Tab S9 & the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic. On the Apple side of things, I have iPhone 13 Pro Max, iPhone 12 Pro Max, Apple Watch Ultra, iPad Pro 12.9 & a MacBook Pro 15 inch. The only reason why I didn't switch to the 14 or 15 Pro Max because they took away the physical sim. I can honestly say I can't put my android items down (especially my Z Fold 4). I only use mine apple products for all the people complaining about my green texts and for the few people I FaceTime.

The man, E! Dang you are SUPER deep on both ends of the spectrum - That's awesome, man! You get to live in both and have a deep, well rounded perspective on things. Don't you love getting hounded by the Blue Bubble Brigade? 🤣 Responding to you on my ZFold5, actually 💪

Always appreciate your videos. So what phone is your primary right now? Fold? Ultra? Etc?

[@David.AVelez]

Hi there! I appreciate the love 😊 Right now, between the 24U and Fold 5! That tablet in a phone is so hard to beat, haha. I'm actually making a video on that next!

Fully engulfed in the apple ecosystem but looking at adding the S24 ultra to my edc. Trying to see if it would be beneficial. Coming from the iPhone 13 Pro Max and ready for an update. Just trying to make a sound decision.

I'm rocking the S24 ultra and the iPhone 15 pro max as well. Love both of them

Happy Easter Dave and everyone hope today is treated you all well. Dave I must tell you I got a new tablet couple days ago it's the S6 Lite (2022) version. It has 64GB of internal storage with 4Gigs of Ram, along with a Qualcomm chip to make it snappy. So far I like it. The purpose of me buying it is that I needed for school in a quick pinch. I can use the S Pen, do Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and OneNotes. Also I'm using this for entertainment purpose too. You can say this is a balance. I haven't tested its full capabilities yet, but I will sometime today and tomorrow since I have my next online assignment to see how long the nmbattery will last. What do you think? As a matter of fact do you guys think I made a good purchase?

[@David.AVelez]

Happy Easter, Kenneth! Tab S6 Lite! I have a buddy with one and he's all around happy with it as well! And I would say, as long as you're happy with it and it does what you want then that's the most important thing! Do you have a Bluetooth Keyboard to use with it also?

[@davidpegueros3]

I’ve used a wide variety of smartphones. Started with a Samsung blackjack 2 on windows phone software, then to a variety of android phones. HTC I forget the model name, Samsung galaxy S3 and then the S4. I moved to iPhone 6 and then to iPhone 8. Followed with a Motorola g power 2021 then to a Samusung galaxy A53 5G. The back to iPhone 12 mini and now on iPhone 15. I like the integration with other apple devices, but this video makes a compelling cases for the new Samsung flagship phones

[@matthewsimon4912]

Thanks for a great vid. Would love to hear your thoughts on the google wallet vs the apple wallet. I really want to move from Apple but could not do without a great wallet. Will I be dissapointed with the google wallet?

[@ConnieLitrenta]

I use Apple Pay and Google Pay. Love them both but I think Apple pay works just a little bit smoother and setup is easier too. That said, Google Wallet is still pretty decent.

I have been using the s24 ultra since January, battery 🔋 has been good, I watch alot of KZbin, Netflix and some gaming. The screen is amazing, the AI features are cool.

[@rando.name.]

I have a 14pro max. Heavy into apple ecosystem as well. I just ordered an s24 ultra and 2 points you made resonated with me. 1. Spen for note taking. I went back to school and this will be a big help for quick jotting. 2. I have been very frustrated with seri and its lack of ai functionality. If I ask it a question I want an answer not a link to a website. I’m hoping Samsungs ai fixes that for me.

[@markweaver4424]

Very nice and honest video. As for the sound quality being deeper and better on the iPhone, let’s remember that the iPhones incorporates the Beats technology in them and you just can’t get a better sound, that’s why Apple bought Beats. Imagine if Samsung had the Beats technology built into them. AKG is doing a great job with the sound, but I personally like more bass in my music and that’s why I listen to music with my Beats Studios or my Beats Powerbeats Pro. I’ve owned a Samsung since the first Note, and the S Pen has always been the distinction of the best. With the S24 Ultra employing AI, Apple had better do its homework for the next generation of iPhones. My wife made the mistake of getting an iPhone (going from a S21+), because of the children and grandchildren, and immediately regretted the decision. She retune the iPhone and got a S24+ and is happy with this decision (she says that she doesn’t need all of the features of the Ultra). So we are back to being a Samsung household.😂

[@neckrath]

Hate saying this but you hit the nail on the head. Android back in the day was no where near as good as an iPhone. Now they are nearly equal specially if you comparing samsung and apples flagship devices. I bailed on apple and went with a Z Fold 4 a while back and loved it. Except for the fact my day to day was to rough on it's frame. So I switched to the s24 ultra when I changed service providers and moving things over was nearly seamless and easier than upgrading to a new iPhone. I easily transferred everything without a hitch and it was easy and quick. Probably one of the best phones I've ever had.

[@David.AVelez]

Great perspective and thanks for chiming in! Both are absolutely great phones and the IPhone does what it can do very well! Bit for me, the 23U and 24/Galaxy Fold 5 are more true life companions than the IP is.

[@AnanthapadmanabhaKurup]

Best review of these devices I have seen on the internet. This review is not about specs or fancy features for the sake of features. It’s about how those features impact your life as user. And I’m saying that as n iPhone 15 user. 😬 Really tempted to leave iOS for these new galaxy phones. They are really really good.

[@geraldslonaker3289]

Does anyone know if it is possible to make a talking Avatar emoji in the Google or Samsung message app like he showed on his iPhone at :20 seconds. That is the first time I have seen that feature and I don't know if that is a real iPhone messenger feature or if he created it elsewhere and made it seem like an iPhone feature
