I Swapped to Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra from iPhone for One Week!

[@06dame27]

I tried my first iPhone the 15 Pro Max for a few months and I couldn't get used to the limitations/quirks of IOS. Picked up the S24 Ultra as soon as it came out. Never been happier.

[@ClickbaitMotorsports]

You get it. 👍

[@Fer490G]

I did the same as you, got tired of the little things and limitations and went from my 15 Pro to the S24 Ultra, I bought my new phone on pre sale and the S24 Ultra 500gb ended up being cheaper than the 256gb 15 Pro (not max)

[@BoredO]

My own two cents is that you shouldn't lock yourself in into any ecosystem because of exactly the inconveniences that you mentioned. It gives the illusion that you can't switch because "it's going to be such a hassle". I own the S24U, a MacBook Pro, and Sony earbuds. Do I miss out on a lot of fluidity between devices? Hell yeah. But ignorance is bliss. Since I've never been part of an ecosystem, I don't care as much as to what I'm missing. Previously, I owned a OnePlus and JBL earbuds. I'm happy not to feel compelled to get the same brand every time I upgrade.

Exact same here. I have the S24U, airpods pro, a windows PC and an old MacBook pro from 2012 or something. They all work together, I just don't get the absolute most fluid ecosystem imaginable, because I don't need it. My earbuds connect to Bluetooth. My phone connects to my PC if I need it to. My macbook is just a Google chrome machine. Etc

[@Dutchovenderlinde]

I did the whole Apple ecosystem for about a year until it just got really frustrating. The MacBook Air, while being an awesome machine, doesn’t fit my needs at all. The iPad was mostly left unused and I ended up selling it. Really, I only use the Apple Watch Ultra, iPhone 14 Pro Max and AirPods Pro 2. I swapped the MacBook for a Surface Pro and got Sony XM4, which both work way better. Now I’m really thinking of switching back to Samsung for my phone…

You're the first YTer that I have come across that actually brought up the Pro Mode camera features. I get that most smartphone users are not photographers so they won't relate to pro settings and manual anything. They just want end results. But I pre-ordered the S24 Ultra for that main reason. I have the iPhone 12 Max and I just needed better control of these camera lenses than what iPhone gave me. I'm not completely sold on the entire Samsung eco-system, nor am I with Apple, but Android gives you choices, and I like that. Another main thing is Dex, and Dex with Lightroom Mobile. The 2 combo is a deal breaker for me. I'm an amature street photographer, and whether I carry my cameras or the phone, I wanna be able to come home and just edit on a larger screen, zero transfer needed. Dex is just chef's kiss.

@@frostfearen what do you mean about social apps? I'm using apps from Google Play and stay away from Galaxy Store if I can and can't see the difference between these apps from my gf's Xiaomi. Where do you live? Stay away from Exynos, get the Ultra. Snapdragon version is a different story, lack of developers support with Exynos is a thing, experienced this using S22+. I think it's a matter of taste, iPhone will do the job in the simplest possible way. S24+ also will do the job but in a way of your choice. Samsung also offers complete desktop UI when connected to smart tv or monitor - I use this a lot, bluetooth keyboard and I have notebook anywhere I go . If you prefer Apple simplicity I would wait for iPhone 16. Like freedom of choice and PC mode in your pocket? S24 Ultra is a beast, buy it...

[@frostfearen]

thank you for the reply ! the social media apps ui differs between the two and also the camera issue where you take a picture and upload from android it looks low quality even tho it's not. i had my fair share of s10 exynos issues too so i get what you say about it. they say this exynos is way better than s22 but i just can't trust them since they said the same about s22 too. ultra is at the price point of pro here. i never used dex with my s10 never needed it .i can't wait because of the economy here and also my phone is about to give up lol i keep losing signals etc. s24 ultra is a good option tho like you said . it's just every comparison video or review says iphone's camera works better in default settings without editing @@SilentKeeperI

@@frostfearen for instant camera without editing iPhone for sure. Even S22+ takes photos much more "ready to post". S24 Ultra takes neutral photos, great for future editing.

Android and iOS are very similar with both borrowing heavily from each other, additionally apple’s ecosystem is awesome, isn’t a good ecosystem that works flawlessly what everyone wanted before we had one and what most tech companies are working towards? Plus their phones are great and do everything well whilst being best in class in most of the categories that matter to normal users with most apps being more polished in iOS on top of that.

I switched to Android about 6 months ago, mostly - my iPhone XR and Airpods were getting old, my Apple Watch SE I could sell for pretty close to what I paid for it, so all in all it was pretty easy to swap it over all at once - the whole transition was a net $450 for some last-gen recent refurbished top end products. The OS took some getting used to, but once I did it's just so much more comfortable to use. It's hard for me to use my iPad anymore except with a keyboard attached, I keep wanting to do things that either don't have an Apple equivalent or it's simply less intuitive - why can't I splitscreen apps vertically? Why do certain apps refuse to let me split them? Why does Apple not let you resize the slideover window like you can floating windows in Android, nor let you use a Stage Manager resizeable window over a fullscreen app? Lots of little things like that crop up. I still use my iPad regularly, it's handy to have a full-sized tablet with keyboard for whatever purpose and it probably gets an hour or so of use a day still, plus there's a bit of Apple-only software that I still use - but when Apple's tablet is being out-tableted by a Z Fold 4 in everything other than screen size, well, whenever my iPad is in need of replacement I'm just gonna get a Galaxy Tab.

Opening apps is terribly slow, unlike Android I can't use many apps in the background without them shutting down or rebooted. Flagships will definitely not slow down significantly after half a year, as you write here. And if Face Id is more secure is the question because my iPhone can unlock my twin brother or my girlfriend when I'm sleeping because no motion detection works with FaceID

I have been using an iPhone since the 6. Switched to Samsung in 2019 for 6 months then switched back because of the familiarity with iPhone just drew me back. But I am strongly considering the pixel pro 9 fold, but I need to get used to a new notes app, find my and other things like that make it hard to switch.

One of the coolest things about it the national geographic NFC flipsuit case that changed the video lock screen AOD. Also as an owner of the s23 Ultra the s pen is phenomenal for remote gestures, remote camera controls from a distance, navigation and texting when your fingers get tired etc I used to be an apple sheep then i became a Samsung Knight. Samsung, Huawei, Xiaomi, Red Magic, Honor Magic, Google, One Plus changed my life in the android world in 2019. There's no comparison. Also people thinking that Samsung took ideas is crazy and misinformed when Apple took , USB C , Programmable side key, KZbin pop up view , 5x zoom , Always on display from Samsung. Samsung and Android was one of the best things that happened to apple. Competition is a necessity. Also once I saw multi tasking , the open OS that i could download anything from anywhere at anytime, good lock customization, emulation, foldable innovation etc unlimited features I vowed ios and Apple would never get my main sim again also they force e sim and android has alot of flexibility. Android is objectively superior

Hear me out from a content creator's perspective. I've been exclusive to iPhone and the ecosystem since the 5s. I decided to try the 24 Ultra. Every review says the iPhone video is just slightly better than what Sammy can produce so I stayed. What I didn't consider was the features of the camera app itself. 1.Dual camera with separate video files is so useful for getting different zoom ranges or a selfie cam and forward facibg cam at the same time. 2.The S Pen as a built in remote shutter. 3. 16:9 photos for thumbnails 4. Better transition when switching lenses. 5. Switching between front facing and rear facing cameras with continuous recording. 6. Pro video as you mentioned. All my adulting is done per app rather than in iCloud accounts so that has been a non issue on my end so that only leaves iMessage and Facetime that I'm missing after the switch. The only other drawbacks I can think of is app function. Capcut, Lumafusion, and Godaddy Studio (where I make thumbnails) are almost as good as ios but not perfect. I usually edit on the macbook anyway so not a huge deal and Airdrop is so inconsistent Id rather just plug in to transfer files.

Where is the link to the mini keyboard??

[@nozrulmiah5164]

Always been an iphone fan but recently got the Z fold 6 love it but it's a bit hard to type on the small front screen and also hard to type on the inside big screen so thinking of swapping it for the s24

[@P1sharky]

awesome video man appreciated all your point of views I recently switched over to iPhone and my main reason for moving was the Apple Watch Ultra. How do you feel the watches is compare? I honestly know the Samsung is a better phone, but the allure of something new pulled me away haha

[@Torqd_Off]

I just got the Samsung S24 ultra and I came from iPhone 11 Pro Max... I swap my financial details as I use them. Ebay, Amazon, PayPal... PNC bank. I trust this phone enough for adding financial information and for it to remain protected!!! Should I???

[@5lesshz]

Does the samsung have better speakers? Because I switched from a iPhone xs which was launched in 2018 tp a samsung galaxy s21 introduced in 2021, and those speakers inside the s21 sounds very bad

[@adriansuarez1256]

the majora's mask clock tower sound was triggering haha

[@g1andonly1]

You are better than me. I have to now carry an iPhone and an android. IPhone 15 pro max and pixel 8 pro. And I have to say, it ain't that bad. I never wear skinny jeans and I really enjoy having both. I use to have to keep switching my Sim card but now, best of both worlds. The family won't go android, my brother's or my wife and my friends have android.

[@uneCENT]

Work forces me to use an iPhone and it’s painful. I suppose it would be fine if I’ve never seen an Android, but it’s unbelievable how easily Americans are brainwashed by marketing. I’ve got the s24+ and my work phone (iPhone 13 pro) makes me cringe every time I have to use it. iOS is just so dated and feels like phone prison. Glad you mentioned the keyboard to… iPhone keyboard is the worst! Been getting worse every phone they make. Why won’t they fix it?!?

[@EuntaeHwang]

Yeah the iPhone keyboard is terrible, I immediately replaced it with Gboard and now I'm moving to the S24+. Those keyboards on Android in the system are really top.

[@Ace61527]

Are you able to still use a MacBook Pro if you switch to an Android phone? Been thinking if trading in from IPhone

[@NSGProductionsYT]

I got the 24 Ultra and they got a good thing going. I went back to iPhone but I want to see what the z fold 6 looks like. Even though I think Apple has the better ecosystem to me I do believe the ultra is the better phone but Apple has the better ecosystem

[@robertsalyers1351]

I've been a lifelong 20 year user of Android phones and I am wanting to switch over to the latest and greatest iPhone. Come September, any tips, tricks or advice would be helpful. Thank you.

[@raychapeskie9891]

I keep hearing about 5X camera zoom here, vs 10X maybe coming, and wonder if one should wait for the S25 Ultra. Kripes, I turn 80 next year... so don't want to wait too long. FYI, I now have the S20 Ultra... how does that compare with the S24 Ultra (camera wise)? Good video, than you.

[@dashobie]

samsung s24 ultra smokes the Crapple samsung made iphone

[@techfan8457]

I had the P8Pro went back to the Iphone and now that I have been without the P8Pro I want back in. So, now I am trying to decide if I want 2 phones or just deal with the Iphone or go back to Android......again

[@katinasoutherland7693]

If you can afford to have two phones and that's what makes you happy I say do it.

[@nicholasbilleci4192]

Didn't use gesture navigation? Gotta use gboard as well.

[@meteor1522]

Mac and AirPods can be easily used along with an Android phone. I have zero issues. In fact My least favourite Apple device is the iPhone.I 100% prefer Galaxy Ultra to iPhone.but I love my Macbook ,Airpods Pros and Apple TV.

[@captainsparkle-fingers2744]

My S23 is working like a champ!

[@astudentpilotlife]

I just got my S24 ultra. But I couldnt wait to get the phone so I order the one available is Black. I wish I could gotten the orange one

[@codybutler9976]

My contract for my iPhone 14 Pro Max is up in June. Debating so hard about switching back to Samsung and getting the s25+ or 25 ultra at that time. I love Apple devices but I’m craving a change , Apple is so restrictive when it comes to a lot of things also. I dunno what I may do when the time comes. Haven’t had a Samsung phone since the galaxy s8 lol, they have come a long way since then. My only main concern is battery life after the first 6 months or more and how it will hold up. I don’t wanna keep having to charge my phone all the time later on

[@harlempunk4481]

How about the screen grain issue? Have you noticed anything?

[@KC-lg8qf]

I use a Mac computer(and M3 max macbook on order) with everything else being samsung. Tab s8 ultra, galaxy watch 4 classic..... phone Note 10+(s24 ultra coming soon). I really only use apple because i need it to run Logic pro, and dont want to start over learning a new digital audio workstation. There's something to be said for being in one eccosystem, but also something to be said for using products from different companies and experiencing the best of what each has to offer. I think apple is too dull and restrictive with iphone, and i do not enjoy ios on ipad either. Apple's strength is in their computers for me. I only had one iphone (4s), then switched right back to android, and have not looked back since. Other than a very brief stint with an ipad about 2 years back that i quickly sold for a samsung galaxy tab instead. Imesssage was missed for about 2 weeks and now....i just dont care. Yes sharing files with iphone users is more difficult, but that is 100% the fault of apple.....so i dont mind getting that grainy video or just not gettinng it at all 😂 Samsung looks for ways to give to more options for you devices......Dex is just fantastic.

[@tambulee]

Love that Top Gun T

[@mdtubeaccount2965]

I carry iPhone most of the day but at home I’m using my ultra a lot. Extra lines are cheap I’m going to stay with 2 phones

[@TheEverydayDad]

I'm glad it works for you, but it drives me crazy carrying around two phones.

[@kevinsanjuan3838]

I take my iPhone 13 mini to work, but when I'm at home or going to the mall, I always use my Ultra.

[@Extra_Mental]

Why does everyone always say the full name for the s24 but just all their iphone just iphone??

[@hardyanjan121986]

Using the s24 ultra was amazing for me. All the gripes I had with Samsung are taken care of. But I had to return to iOS just because of how much used to iOS I am, the ecosystem and fluidity. But ya the s24 ultra just demanded us to use it more. The screen, the aesthetics just made you want to use it more.

Bye! Close the door on your way out.
