iPhone 15 Pro Max vs Galaxy S24 Ultra vs Pixel 8 Pro In-Depth Review | 6 Months Later

[@alanine98]

You are honestly so underrated. Just keep up the good job, you will inevitably blow up!

[@insidetechltd]

That’s really great to hear, thank you!

[@scabento13]

i had s24 ultra and now use pixel 8 pro and my friend is using ip 15 pm. this video is very very accurate. the behaviors shown in this video are exactly what we experience on a daily basis. you deserve more subscribers for your astute judgment.

[@insidetechltd]

Thank you!

[@theonlychad9482]

so which do you like the most and your daily driver? SGS24 ultra or GP8P?

[@lmnpodi]

what made you change into pixel 8 pro? was also wondering which you find better given you can experience the phone thru your friend's. would you still prefer S24U than ip15pm?

I am not technically savvy when it comes to cameras. This is the most detailed camera comparison that I could understand and follow ever. Well done

[@insidetechltd]

Thanks a lot!

[@NSGProductionsYT]

I use all 3 every year. I thought the 8 pro was in the lead the end of last year but the 24 Ultra took it. They took the titanium from Apple, the AI from Google, and customized their own interface and optimization to become the frontrunner. I like Google cleanliness but as the price creep up you appreciate the customization of EVERYTHING Samsung has to offer and ALL the features even if you don't use them you know if you need it, it's there

How would they take titanium fron iphone in less than 5 months? Come on dude.

[@NSGProductionsYT]

@@mmafanatic-tz5or not literally dude. I’m saying some of the reasons to upgrade to the newest iPhone is the titanium build is in Samsung and the reasons to buy Google is in Samsung not saying the stole it. You couldn’t figure that out before you commented??

That's really great to hear, thank you. Glad I could help!

[@mwj9080]

Unpopular opinion here, but i personally prefer the Pixel due to its amazing software alone. But as a Pixel fanboy I admit that Google needs to improve the hardware which really the only thing that's holding them back from being the best in my opinion.

[@insidetechltd]

It’s strange to me that that’s an unpopular opinion, but I think you’re right. For me the software is the best aspect 👌🏼

[@Rowlandzy]

Pixel has the Best software so far... The smartest smart phone... Once they nail the hardware I don't think anyone can come close.... I mean it's Google

[@mwj9080]

@@Rowlandzy hardware quality has been their Achilles heal. I personally haven't experienced any of the hardware issues that's often discussed, but I do know that it's an issue that Google needs to address long term. But nevertheless, I prefer the Pixel over other phones on the market.

The pixel's face auth is secure, it does not use a flat image, but uses the auto focus tech to obtain depth values. The issue with it is it does not work on low light scenarios

I could dramatically hear the wind on the iPhone selfie camera compared to the pixel, but when speaking, the pixel voice was quiet, samsung rightly, so all around was on point, now days phones are just coming down to preferences as there really isnt much in it and you really cant go wrong with any phone.

[@insidetechltd]

Exactly 👍🏼

[@rosenivanov7028]

Hi, in the camera comparison, did you change any of the settings on the S24u, i saw on the camera assistant the AI inteligence can be changed and the scene optimizer for more natural looking photos.

[@insidetechltd]

I did during testing to see how it affected things. But the photo examples are taken in the default settings to show what most people will experience. Over-saturating, for example is baked into the phone and can't be fully fixed with any settings. The only change was to turn off auto lens switching so I could ensure which lens was being used each time

Here in Germany you can get an S24 Ultra (256gb) contract for the total cost around €960 (45gb of 5G/month for 2 years) while the iPhone 15 Pro Max (also 256gb) contract costs around €1300 (~60gb of 5G/month for 2 years). And i just got me the S24 Ultra, really like it though.

[@opunex]

from where did you order it?

[@CharlesRohrer]

I really like this comparison. I've been vacillating between the Pixel 8 pro, the Galaxy s24+ and the Ultra. I think the plus has been somewhat underrated. It is the lightest of the three and has almost the same performance as the ultra. The lack of 5x camera is my biggest issue with it. I love the ultra, especially because of the s-pen. But the Pixel has almost won me over with it's smoothness, simplicity, nice haptics. And the camera beats out either Galaxy when you zoom in on photos taken with the main lens. I should sell on or two of them but can't decide... And yes, the battery life on the Pixel while falling short of either Galaxy is better than I thought it would be.

[@insidetechltd]

Yes, the S24+ is definitely underrated. Exynos is my biggest issue with it, a backwards step from last year. Thanks a lot for watching!

[@CharlesRohrer]

@@insidetechltd Ahh! I'm in the US and have the SD Gen 3.

[@mwj9080]

I've been an Android user since the beginning of the smartphone era, so I've had Motorola, LG, and Samsung, but when I got my first Pixel (the 2XL) it was a total game changer for me and I've been a Pixel fan ever since! One thing about Pixel phones that really need to get better is their hardware, but man the software is the best out of any phone I've used.

[@Catalanskrr]

@@mwj9080yup, that’s right. Pixel phones are simply amazing.

[@VJ-27]

Completely agree with everything except battery life, i think pixel far behind compared to iPhone and ultra at least in my use, coz i am using iPhone and pixel my self, stand by time is just not great on pixel and also it drains battery a lot quicker than my iPhone. But still pixel is my primary phone because of software and camera quality. Great review though,enjoyed

[@insidetechltd]

Yes the Pixel can definitely still trail behind in battery depending on how you use it, I just wanted to give it due praise for the improvement and how it can sometimes match the others now - that was unheard of before. Thanks a lot for watching!

[@mwj9080]

I'm really looking forward to when Google ditch Samsung for TSMC next year for the Tensor G5 chip. Hardware in my opinion is really the only area that holds the Pixel back from being a great phone to the best phone on the market. Google just needs to focus and it will be the sweet spot.

[@khalidadi9130]

I just switched from my s24 ultra to the 15 PM. I love the iPhone alot more. While the s24 is the best phone I've ever had. The iPhone just works better with everything. Buds 2 pro have nothing on air pods pro. Reading messages as well as announcements was something the buds either never had or I couldn't figure out how to make it work. The apple watch interface is better. Even if the watch faces aren't as great it's more fluid. I still kept my s24 ultra. But I'm really happy with the iPhone more. And with ios 18 coming out the gap gets smaller and smaller

[@Äpple-pie-5k]

The 10x superiority of Apple ecosystem keeps me on iPhone, but if it weren't for that, the S24 Ultra seems to look, act, and be, more modern and at the forefront. But yeah: continuity, handoff, cut-and-paste across devices, messaging on any device, faceID and touchID to automatically do 2FA and remember and fill in my passwords on every device, etc., these things are way more valuable to me than the slight differences in beauty, aesthetics, and modernity of the S24 in itself.

[@forneverarrow]

You are the most “to the point”, old school reviewer out there (along with Flossy Carter). I am using the 15 Pro Max. The thing is that between the iPhone and the S24 Ultra there’s little difference in quality and performance. My personal decisive factors are always 1) the feeling of the phone and 2) the cameras. I am usually changing sides every couple of years (my last phone was the Z Flip 4, the iPhone 12 before that and the S10 Plus before etc) because I like to taste the difference in the platforms after 2-3 generations. I am a tech lover, not a fan of a particular brand. This time I chose the iPhone because I fall immediately in love with the design. I don’t like the boxy design of the S24 Ultra and I hate the S Pen (I don’t like to pay for hardware that I will never use). But in general (OS aside) both are great phones. The cameras on the iPhone are better in point and shoot situations: are more consistent, more responsive and with 24mp output while the Galaxy cameras are more versatile thanks to its vast focal range. As a photographer, I feel more in comfort having an iPhone camera with me rather than Samsung if I have to go for shooting without my mirrorless.

[@fraizie6815]

You can use the Pro Mode on the S24 to get rid of the oversaturation

[@K.khan.ahmadzai]

Hey just something for thought... why is the front camera on s24 soo grainy in lowlight video call?

1MORE Sleepbuds Z30 vs soundcore Sleep A20 will there be a comparison of them (who is more comfortable with me and who has the loudest sound)? Or is it just advertising in shorts?

[@insidetechltd]

I'm still doing a full review on those, but i've decided to add in some more alternatives and make the video a "top 5 sleep earbuds" or something like that. I think that'll be more helpful for people. So i'm just spending a bit longer actually sleeping with all of the options to test each of them fully. The shorts are just a quick unboxing for those interested!

[@cozytechtalk]

i would like to know how about the 3rd party app on pixel 8 pro?i herad alot of people complaining that they are not optimized good and have problems?is it true?whats your opinion?

[@vilkotesarml]

That's not true, haven't had ani issues

[@CreightonMiller]

I'm very curious about your battery test results; yours is the only analysis I've found that rates them near equal. It's one of the main differentiating factors imo, so this is weighing pretty heavily in my decision.

[@insidetechltd]

I just wanted to make the point that they 'can' be equal with certain usages. Looking at my average screen on time over a couple of months, the Pixel was a fair way behind. So on average the iPhone and Ultra are still ahead. The problem I found with lots of online tests is people were simulating tests i.e. playing KZbin non-stop or testing a few different apps with the screen on the whole time. I said myself that the Ultra wins the KZbin playback test with the Pixel far behind. But that's not realistic - people aren't playing KZbin for 10 hours with no break whatsoever, people have their phones locked in their pockets too. So my results try to reflect more realistic usage and although the Pixel is still in last, it's better than a lot of people might expect

[@Danimilf]

I have a sierra blue iPhone 13 PM and after being a loyal Samsung user for many years I am THOROUGHLY impressed with my iPhone! The software is far better imo! It’s so smooth, fast, durable, reliable and just enjoyable to use! It’s such a well rounded device! And I absolutely LOVE the amazing photos I’ve been able to get with it! I plan on getting the 15 PM sometime AFTER the 16 line up rolls out and prices come down a hair lol.

[@insidetechltd]

Glad you like it!

[@WinterSoldier0315]

Thanks for a great video. I agree with you on your pick, I've been switching between the S24 Ultra and the Pixel 8 Pro for about 3 months on and off. I keep reaching back for the pixel 8 Pro because of the software experience and the camera. I find Samsung's ecosystem to be two cumbersome to dig through to unlock all the super features many of which I don't end up using.

[@insidetechltd]

Thanks a lot!

[@mwj9080]

[@jordanjackson8873]

You don't unlock super features you read labels like an adult 😂😂. The only things you unlock are the developer options, like every other Android phone.

I would like to know which one takes better pictures at events such as concerts using zoom. I find my iPhone 14 does not take clear shots, often blurry.

[@insidetechltd]

I would recommend you don't take photos at concerts, take videos and screenshot later if you want stills from it. Certainly on iPhone it will give you much better quality results. The 14 will struggle without a telephoto lens, you'll probably need a Pro

[@SarahBella32]

Thank you so much! I’m a long time iPhone user and don’t really want to switch but that’s when the camera seems to fail for me.

How does Oneplus 12 stand against these?

[@whathefaq1331]

I believe is worth buying, i'm using OP 6t since nov. 2018, still good, but due for an upgrade, from all the reviews i watched, OP12 gives you the most for the least amount of money. Plus it has certification for components inside for 4 years, only manufacturer to give one which is the reason for Os updates 4 years time.

[@insidetechltd]

Agreed. I said the OnePlus 11 was insane value for money in my review, so I’d be interested in seeing the 12 against these!

[@Tealc2323]

Google destroyed all the Pixel's camera with a darkening post-processing update and they don't bother fixing it. My friend's Pixel 7 has been hit by this update a few weeks ago and my Pixel 6 Pro got it just a few days ago. This is an issue that started over two years and and Google still hasn't been able to fix it. There is no way to revert the change and there is no workaround available.

[@insidetechltd]

Yes I remember it being a problem last year on the 7 Pro, but it somehow seems worse now. I think you’re right and it must’ve been a software update that’s made it worse

Another great content of yours ! Really love to come back to your channel if I would like to listen about some new tech. With relation to the material itself, great comparison as always, I like that you are neutral and not acting as fun of one brand. What I noticed with S24U, while you are in camera assistant app, and turn on picture softening to medium at least, quality becoming better and photos are less "smartphone-like" . Really good setting. Apart of it, 3x zoom in Ultra case is useless and Samsung should get rid of it and use digital crop only. Again this is on plus for android device that you have an option to change the things rather than use the one which are intended only like in Apple case. Keep doing so good work, you deserve more subs !

[@insidetechltd]

Thanks a lot!

[@bogdan_130.]

I actualy prefere the wormer colors on the ultra and most peoples seem to agree. The pixel is amazing for its price but with its performance,i'm shure it won't get more than 5 os updates. It is even worse than my base s23 which already got its first update out of only 4. Also,you may say i'm bias but i prefere one ui most. If i would've liked anything else more,i'd be on that platform since os is the most important factor for me. Pixel is good but ios just doesn't cut it for me. I want to multitask,to download anything i want(including piratated apps),to costumise every aspect of my phone and to have a damn back button. Why is it so hard for apple to introduce a consistaint back button? I hate how i have to find the button,swipe or tap outside the canvis for it to go back to last page. Great comparasion and even tho i don't agree with all your picks!

[@coffeeshakes86]

Most all of this is purely subjective and a lot of these can be customized to the users preferences. All three of these phones are Tanks and we're at the peak of smartphones right now.

[@REgamesplayer]

I'm surprised that despite massive technical differences at the start, all phones produce comparable quality images. The only difference is how they process those images. I own Iphone Pro Max 15 and of course, it is the best phone out of these three there. As a person who prioritizes detail preservation and clarity, there is no wonder why it is the best camera for me. Samsung's offering strikes me as wanna be HDR with over-saturated colors. Pixel on the other hand tends to over-sharpen or blurry things out. It also tend to be a dim camera and I do not like that.

[@ferrydaddy]

You deserve more subscribers 😊

[@history_class]

The Sony Xperia 1 VI would be good to compare along side these phones. I am a Pixel 8 Pro user but I have had an interest in the Sony Xperia 1 devices for a while now and may swap to next year's model when I can upgrade. I think a lack of coverage of it by content creators/ reviewers on KZbin is partially why I haven't had a Sony Xperia as of yet, but I do understand it is very niche and expensive device with advanced manual controls that could be overwhelming to many. Also, the Pixel 8 Pro has its Magic Audio Editor that would have taken care of that wind sound, but I am assuming the test was based on what the camera catches directly from the camera.

[@lashunmagee3367]

[@vladimirkraus1438]

I used some of "sibling" phones of those which you tested... From my experience, Samsungs S-class typically make a big difference if you use Auto or Pro mode... Pro mode looks much much more realistic but it struggles with dynamic range in some contrasty scenes. So it is good to know when to use Pro and when Auto. Google Pixels have the aura of making realistic looking photos but they do not retain contrast (too much HDR) and the colors often look much more washed out than the reality actually was. So it is the opposite of oversaturated Samsungs in Auto. And iPhones oversharpen to much (though less than older S23s in Auto) and the white balance is not always good. I like taking sunsets pictures but the rendition of sunsets is just horrible most of the time on iPhones. It just can't get the colors right. From my experience, the most natural looking pictures are from Samsung S-class if you use Pro mode. Except for that lacking dynamic range...

[@carver9312]

The selfie video looked far better on the Ultra. You looked too blue and washed out on the iPhone.

[@juechhakchhuak4979]

I don't understand why most phone reviewers are obsessed with "true-to-life" and "realistic" pictures. Professional photography has never prioritized them; instead, photographers shoot in raw format and then edit the images, sometimes to the point of being unrealistic when judged by these said standards.

[@insidetechltd]

It's just a personal preference thing for me. As I say in the video though - everyone has their own way they want phones to produce the images

[@YalokIy]

S24U with gcam mod is so much better at photos than its stock camera, perhaps almost matching that of pixel 8 pro. On the software side, in my opinion, Samsung offers many more useful features than google. Add to that the screen with the best antireflectivity on the market and ultrasonic fingerprint scanner and you have the winner.

[@jermainemouzon4909]

A high-end phone like S24U shouldn't even need gcam to begin with. I have only used gcam in the past on midrange phones.

[@danielevaranking7014]

What's the name of the game you played on the s24 ultra on this video

[@Crosbhealach]

Ultra for gaming, iPhone for camera, pixel for simplicity. In Canada the pixel 8 pro is about 1500, the iP15PM is 1700 and the Ultra is 2200. So that jump in prices hurts a bit. I watched another camera review where the pixel added a magenta tint and the Ultra added a green tint to the photos. Seems like inconsistency on the manufacturing. So it may be "luck of the draw" there. I'd take the iPhone but the compatibility issues with non apple devices (not as bad as it used to be) is still a pain.

[@arokh72]

We have very similar price differences here in Australia, with the S24 Ultra being $300 AUD more expensive than the iPhone. This is something I feel needs to be taken into consideration as well, that being regional price differences.

I hope this guy knows he doesn't have to double tap the screen to unlock the Samsung. Just put his finger when the screen is off where the scanner is and it will unlock the phone. Not only is it better than having to tilt the phone to your face or even pick it up when it's laying flat, but it's also faster.

Face unlock is more secure than fingerprint unlock? I'll take it as a joke. Plus getting ur face blasted by infrared rays all the time, is an issue.

[@insidetechltd]

Face ID is statistically more secure than a fingerprint sensor, yes. Also do you have any evidence for Face ID’s IR causing any problems at all?

[@ForeverFree05]

@@insidetechltd No its not, fingerprints are unique. Unless face unlock is a retina scan it can't be more secure than fingerprint. Face unlock infrared rays are low energy and should not cause harm, but maybe decades long exposure does have an adverse effect. Why put up with it when we can have an under display fingerprint scanner and no noch also. Face ID doesn't exist cz its more secure.

[@insidetechltd]

Face ID is not a retina scan. Remember that Face ID is not the same as face unlock (which isn’t as secure). The percentage chance of finding a matching 3D facial scan to unlock your phone is less than that of a fingerprint - that’s why it’s more secure. As I said before, the IR causing issues is only an assumption. To answer my own question, there is zero evidence of any issues related to the IR from Face ID. So I wanted to clarify that and not spread any misinformation 👍🏼

[@roman1588]

I liked the video for its thoroughness, however it looked way too complementary in favor of Pixel. As a person who used Pixel and now is rocking an S23+, I might say the battery life is a twofold advantage for Samsung. I think you only simulated one usage scenario, while real-life use can be different and in every scenario Samsung has a way better battery. I am also surprised you didn't mention how Pixel heats up. I think Samsung can only become slightly warm on a charger, while Pixel is constantly warm and sometimes becomes hot every when scrolling Google Feed, not to mention more intensive tasks.

[@insidetechltd]

Just my own experience with the phones, if you preferred the Ultra then that's great!

[@tonyc6166]

I swear i was going to cold turkey switch from Samsung to Apple. I used my wifes 13pro work phone during a power outage with my samsung at 5%.

You're right, that's of course subjective

[@aviral.sharma]

I'm going to buy phone... please suggest me should I buy Google pixel 8pro or samsung S24 ultra? Basically i need the phone for photography and videography

[@MegaIkki13]

Last October I bought the pixel 8pro + galaxy watch €1300 = best photo and video but bad processor, bad touch screens, worst photo gallery (Google photo), AI processing too long So I decided to sell it for the more complete s24 ultra 1T, much better processor, amazing multitasking, but in terms of photo quality there is nothing comparable to 8pro pixels... daylight , x5 zoom, even 10x sometimes, and the google options , was amazing on the pixel... Speaking of photos, there is no comparison, the pixels are the best, for the rest Samsung wins by far!!

Just great! Thanks a lot for the best comparison review. Awesome work!

[@insidetechltd]

Thank you 👊🏼

[@robindieker6033]

Wow, such a great and detailled review! Awesome stuff, keep it up :)

[@insidetechltd]

Well thanks for making my morning! Cheers 😄

[@FuturePortal911]

I thought you would mention battery degradation aspects cause of "after 6 months" in title, but sadly nothing was going

[@insidetechltd]

That’s a nice idea! Sorry I didn’t have it this time, I’ll bear it in mind for the future! It’s tough because the iPhone and Pixel were released a couple of months before, and it can be hard to use 3 phones fully over 6 months. I did the best I could, but it’s not the same as a regular person who’s using just one phone

[@FuturePortal911]

@@insidetechltd thank you for feedback. Yeah, i thought of problem that big tech youtubers cant use one phone whole year because they have ton of other stuff to test and review. With batteries for a lot of people its top 3 reason to upgrade to a new phone after slow operating and new features. The battery just draining and apple made it so easy to see and so nervous to check after a few months. Ive heard a lot of bad comments about battery life in 14Pro Max and 14 Pro especially, 15 p/pm so i thing it is very valuable to know, how good will your battery perform after a year or something

[@dibyajyotisinha5428]

12:20 what's the name of the game that was played on Galaxy S24 Ultra?

[@insidetechltd]

Pascal’s wager

[@alexraphael509]

I don't know how you do this, my friend, I must say you're damn good at what you do. the style of commentaries, put in dissecting, and analytical prowess of each phone is honest-to-goodness I say well done, my friend but for me rather than the price i think samsung nailed the s24ultra to be the best phone any company has made this year the set a standard in how a phone should look and feel offer the best value for money practically. Lilly is doing well.. Gracias

[@insidetechltd]

That's really kind of you to say, thanks a lot! Lilly says hello too 👋🏼

[@Mrs.Thatcher]

Most people will never notice any differences between cameras or screens in the last 3 or 4 generations of any leading phone nowadays.. only youtubers rave on about them

[@insidetechltd]

Most people don’t watch in depth phone comparisons. Those that do tend to care about these small differences, that’s why KZbinrs pay attention to these things. I agree the average buyer won’t notice, but that’s also not the target audience for these videos

[@Jay__Patel]

Which game was that?

[@insidetechltd]

Pascal's Wager

[@Schaems_du_disch_nisch]

i like all three. I would wish that google would go with Snapdragon ...

[@insidetechltd]

That phone would be a beast 🥵

[@trollmaster5791]

Nope. Google should continue with their G series chip but make it with a TSMC node. Its easier to perform better with own chip rather than another company chip.

[@insidetechltd]

It's definitely not 'easier'. It's much easier to simply buy a chip from Qualcomm than to develop and optimise your own. But the potential with a custom chip is much higher, as Apple has proven. I don't believe that the Tensor G3 can outperform the SD 8 Gen 8, perhaps not in any area at all. I'm all for Google continuing to develop and improve, but if I had the choice for the Pixel 8 Pro to have the 8 Gen 3 or Tensor G3...i'm choosing Snapdragon

[@mwj9080]

​@@trollmaster5791I actually agree with you regarding Google sticking with their own chips. I like the idea of them developing their own chips over time and not just relying on the whims of Qualcomm. All they need to do is have TSMC manufacturing their chips and continue to improve it and they'll be fine. They need to also ditch Samsung made modems too.

[@nemanjalatinovic4592]

Wallpaper?

[@insidetechltd]

It's the iPad OS 17 wallpaper zoomed in 👍🏼

[@douglasrobert7368]

Android is so good! I mad love this system. System (android) is your friend. You can do everything you want. I use samsungs because, its the best phone in my opinion with the best OS (android) in the world.

[@Jase-j4n]

Dont under estimate honor and huawei, when I was 8n hong Kong the huawei mobiles blew my mind ... if only the Chinese weren't so corrupt haha

[@petergplus6667]

Yeah S24 battery lasts longer because the screen is less contrasty than S24u. In my case the S24u drains to 15% euch isn't 2 days at all

[@jjeter1]

Can you do another video and add the Sony Xperia 1vi to it?🤗

[@richardmacdermot9469]

Are you using the 12mp option on the s24?

[@insidetechltd]

Yes - the higher res modes lead to lower quality photos overall. They improve resolution, but at the cost of colour and dynamic range

[@richardmacdermot9469]

I use the 50mp mode on the P8 Pro and it's amazing all the time Samsung needs to improve color accuracy overall but the dynamic range when using 50mp or 200mp on S24 ultra is really really bad. Green is highlighter green and brightness is horrible

[@nicksajs]

Motorola also have the best stereo speakers under budget

[@thadsgudenuff]

I work in a very wet environment with garnet abrasives. I always have screen protectors on both my iphone and Pixel phone. I also use a generic stylus while working due to my wearing gloves.

[@xypleth]

Excellent comparison. The one and only, I should say, I was looking for something like this for a long time.

[@insidetechltd]

That’s great to hear, thanks a lot!

[@itquankazi]

Really enjoyed the video. Very detailed.

[@insidetechltd]

Thanks a lot!

[@etebjohn5554]

Great work buddy u got a new subscriber

[@user-jgn1944]

I had a screen protector on my S24 ultra. But removed it because of losing the ANTI- GLARE. PITY?

[@Zangettsu_ZA]

Thanks for your video. I've been a lifelong Samsung user, but have now decided that I want to give iPhone a try. I'm familiar with iOS as I've got an iPad that I use for work. I do not, and have never cared, about customization so I don't care if Apple has less of it. My S22 Ultra is stock standard still to this day. I went to upgrade my phone contract over the weekend and almost got the iPhone 15 Pro Max, but a friend of mine (recently switched to Apple) suggested that I wait a couple of months and rather get the iPhone 16 Pro Max as it is 2/3 months away. My only gripe I have with Apple at this stage is that it is super expensive to switch to it's ecosystem. I'll have to buy a new smart watch as well to track my fitness, etc. I hope I'll be making the right choice. Samsung has been neglecting our region when it comes to updates. One UI 6.0 and Android 14 released in November 23 for my phone globally. We only received it in April 24. And similar with other updates. And I have a flagship that is only 2 generations old. On the old iPad I use for work, it regularly gets new updates. Sometimes even a couple of times a month. So I feel that as an Apple user I'll be looked after better in this department.

[@insidetechltd]

I think what i'd say is, yes, it is expensive. But it's also the best ecosystem in the world. Whilst some Android phones can out-do the iPhone...Apple has a lead on the ecosystem. So if you're not against the idea of being in it and are familiar with iOS and iPadOS already...give it a try!

[@Zangettsu_ZA]

​@@insidetechltd thanks so much for your expert feedback! I now can't wait for September till the 16 comes out, however in my region well probably only see it in November😢

[@MrLeonardodv]

Are you planning t o make a review of Xperia 1 VI?

[@insidetechltd]

I would love to - I really want to review it just on a personal note. But I think no one would watch it 😭 I stopped doing Pixel dedicated reviews because of this, and I can't imagine Sony reviews would do better

[@Marvin_Dyers]

Case with no screen protector. Haven't used one in years

[@debojitmandal8670]

No video editing depends on the app u use use kinemaster and u will see android will win use luma fusion and u will se almost draw may be iPhone will nuge by 1-2 seconds but almost raw use adobie the iPhone will dominate

good clean job man keep it up

@@insidetechltd particularly enjoyed your earphone and headphone comparisons very thorough and good job on the editing. 😃

[@insidetechltd]

@pkiminza thank you! 2 really big earbud and headphone videos coming up soon

[@kpehe100]

Pixel is out for me, no better front camera and selfie is a good part of our daily posting. Selfie is something you can quickly do without the help of anyone

[@insidetechltd]

Yeah that’s fair enough. I personally don’t ever take selfies except for phone reviews, but if it’s important to you then I get that 👍🏼

[@marcravey4621]

To be honest I think your wrong on durability on iPhone. I had iPhone 11 pro and Samsung 21. I have drop my Samsung so many times, of course with a case on both. Never had a crack glass or stoppage of phone working Not so with iPhone 11 pro. The glass protector same thing. They break way to easily Do you know screen protectors are more detrimental to both phones Real world use, .I stopped using them. No crack glass Samsung pass, powered by Knox is so much better than pixel or iPhone for password and wallet, finger print scanner or pin . Believe me once you know how to use Samsung Pass, you would never go back to iPhone security or anything google has. My opinion, of course. It is just that I have had each phone for over 3 years. Seems I carry the Samsung far more

[@insidetechltd]

There’s always going to be individuals with their own unique experience. As I said in the video, the iPhone is the most durable on paper but it can vary

[@teaganlee4219]

this is a truly fantastic breakdown and review, precisely what i was looking for! keep it up!

[@insidetechltd]

Glad to hear it, thanks a lot!
