Ex-Apple User Living 120 Days with Samsung S24 Ultra

[@andresvidoza]

For the past 2 years I've mainly been a Samsung User. I only go back to iPhone for about 3 months when they come out and go back to Samsung when the new one releases. I LOVE this phone. Nothing is perfect of course but I think a breath of fresh air coming from iPhone at the moment. Don't forget to checkout Dropbox! www.dropbox.com/andresvidoza

[@Shreyaspathakk]

Apple Fan boys is finally using Android

[@kajetannnn2]

Are you still using macbooks tho? If yes how its your experience with connectivity and all the other staff. I live in Europe and the new IOS 18 is suppose to be a joke here so I'm thinking of going into s24 ulta but I fear the problem with using MacBook + android.

As an ex bestbuy employee, i gotta say seeing the tick for tack between these 2 giants has always been interesting and pretty cool. Of course it always comes down to preference, but i love how the 1- ups keep it competitive. Love the vid man!

[@andresvidoza]

Refreshing to see how Samsung is doing. I've gone back and forth with Samsung and iPhone for years, and you hit all the problems I've had with Samsung. Since I'm no longer a super user, the basic and easy iPhone is all I need in my busy life. Although I truly miss dual apps, notifications, and the numbers row on the keyboard.

Glad you brought up the grainy issues when lowering the brightness. I commented on your ig post and you're the only person who's reached back out! Not many people can see it or even notice it but at night it bothered me a lot because I use my phone at low brightness. It was a defective unit btw. My exchange unit didn't have that issue.

@b.l.saiyageek7219 I mean I did within my first 14 days. I think every Ultra has this issue a little, however my first unit was horrible. Like old TV with the big back type of grainy. My current one has a slight grainyness to it but not anywhere near as bad.

Amazing video Andres! I just finished my switch to full Samsung ecosystem minus a TV(soon) and am very pleased with how it all flows! I appreciate how you question problems and wait for patterns and analyze before speaking. Thats a true lost skill of today's world I don't see much of on KZbin and why I support you and your channel. Keep up the fantastic work and just know the grind keeps getting harder it feels but that is a good feeling, a sense of purpose! You will do great things if you keep it up, you have people supporting you 🤘

[@savino02]

Damn bro, I didn't know routines had this bunch to offer. I am rocking the HD resolution, power saving, low performance profile for less battery consumption during weekdays. And the whole premium features on weekends. Without actually having to change them manually like I used to do before. This is insane.

For some reason it feels like I have watched the very same vid in this channel 3-4 times already

Yeah, ads like this, it's as simple as changing "S22" to "S23" then "S24" while retaining the "epic", "revolutionary", "ultimate", "breakthrough", "absolutely worth having compared to the model we sold last year".....

FYI - iOS18 has RCS messaging so you will no longer be the blacksheep. You'll get the moving 3 dots when iPhone or Android is typing, no more of the color bubbles and the best part, no more potato quality pictures / videos between to the two operating systems. I'm on iOS18 Beta 2 and Messaging is so much better than 17.

[@KennethStiles528]

There still is green blue bubbles but rcs works with exception of color change in messages

[@bizmonkey007]

Apple still needs to improve RCS implementation. While texting with Android users it can be unclear whether you’re using RCS or SMS sometimes. Apple should have changed the bubble color but we know why they won’t do that

To your point about sharing media with Apple users and it sending granular looking videos/pics, there is a way to do it pretty simply using your Google Photos App. I have an S22+, waiting on my S24 Ultra. Go into the Pic or vid, then click share. You'll then see a button called "Create Link". You then send that link to your contact and it will be in its original quality.😊

After months of going back and forth, I have finally realized the S24 Ultra is the device for me. Even if I don't take advantage of much of the features that make this a $1,300 phone, at some point of my week I appreciate they are there for me. While on the 15 Pro Max and other Pro Max devices before that one, I feel like I'm forcing myself to buy the top tier phone because of the ProMotion display and nothing else. with the S24 Ultra, I always feel like I've received a product worthy of its high value.

I am finally at a point that I can finically afford a payment plan for a new phone and I have been taking my time with researching which one I want. I try to keep a phone until it gives up on me before getting a new one so the switch is always scary.

[@alxisl]

Andres, you need a MagSafe pop socket! It makes using the phone one handed SOOOO much easier as well as grippier, if you still want to carry cards get the pop wallet+ it comes in various versions such as leather or plastic it’s super super handy!! I have both and it has really helped in enjoying my pro Max more! ☺️☺️

I was an avid Samsung enjoyer, this is my second ever iOS and to this point I have loved it, but that s24U paired with a S9 Ultra, sounds and looks so good

[@stevenkeller3047]

I struggle to understand the problem with sending messages between Android and Apple. I have two friends with an Apple, and my husband and I have an Android. We use Verizon's text message system and the text between us and our friends is no problem. We send pictures and videos and sometimes the video quality is bad, but we're just sending them to share a moment, not to keep the vid for all eternity. But messages themselves have never been an issue, even when we travel internationally. What is the problem everyone has? Is it just the color of the text bubble?

[@ddneda]

Until you uploaded this video, I was going to buy an iPhone 15 Pro Max tomorrow (btw today, after watching the video of a day in the life iPhone 15 Pro Max that you uploaded 8 months ago, my decision was finalized) and I was determined, but NOW MY WHOLE MIND HAS CHANGED GOOSSH btw thank youuu soo much cause i make my decisions after watching your reviews lots of love xx

[@franklong6269]

You can adjust the resolution of the display which will affect the amount of "grain" you see. I own the S24 Ultra and I have never seen any "grain" in the display. I am not sure what you're talking about. Your GPS location accuracy largely depends on your carrier. It sounds like your carrier sucks.

[@bourbon.36]

I tried switching from the iPhone 15 PM to the S24U, but just couldn't do it. For one, it's hard to leave the ecosystem once you are well within it. The S24U is a beast of a phone, but I absolutely hate that a lot of things are duplicated by Samsung and Google. For some things you must be signed into Samsung for, and others of course you must have Google, and then some you need both. While you need One UI for a lot of the features, I really wish there was a Play Edition of newer phones where you can have the full clean Google experience without all the unnecessary bs on top of it. That is one thing Apple really has going for it. And with RCS coming to the iPhone, for 99% of people, either phone will be even better in their own ways.

[@kernlcastellanos2961]
