iPhone vs Samsung Galaxy vs Google Pixel - Which Has the Best Software?

[@pandathedeveloper6660]

Ever since I bought a Samsung smartphone, it feels really hard to transition to another brand, even Apple. Their OS suits me and has helped me a lot with my tasks.

[@trunghoadang3710]

Weird. I used my last Samsung phone from 2019 to 2022, from the first version of One UI through to One UI 4, and now I'm on iOS for my main phone and looking to get a Pixel 6a as a secondary phone so people don't call me an Apple sheep.

"Even" Apple? iOS ist decades back. You cannot place icons where you want. "Even" not in iOS 14! The keyboard is the worst in its class. So why "even"?

@@ThomasHoellriegl as a phone. iOS is the best. Apple has the basics nailed! And with the best performance hardware. Apple just does what 90% of people do on phones the best. Icons being placed anywhere doesn’t change much. Having a fluid and high performance software does do a lot. Having the best battery does do a lot. These are the things that are first most important

I think you forgot to mention that both OneUI and Stock Android have something called notification history. So you can see the notifications even after you delete them. As a person who accidentally clears an important notification too often, it's really helpful.

You're so biased towards iOS. Google pixel has had live earth lock screen wallpaper before iOS. And the notification system is an absolute mess on iOS . There is nothing clean about it. Android gives you the option of how you want to see your notifications as well as on the status bar at the top

[@jimmie_g]

Great comparison/review! Bonus tip about One UI's edge panel: there is a free panel called "widget edge" which then lets you view all the added widgets on the lock screen. You still have to swipe open the edge panel and also swipe to that panel if it wasn't the last viewed, but it's technically a way to see a couple more widgets on the lock screen.

[@Tburna02]

All valid points. Great review. OneUI definitely has more features. However, stock Android on the pixel just works. For example, the typing experience, and speech to text on the pixel is second to none. I own all three phones, and they all have their pros/cons. At the end of the day, it boils down to what you're doing with the phone.

Okay review ... You can tell you're mostlyt an IOS user who has explored the features of iOS in depth and have merely glanced over features of the other two. I thought the tying of notifications and photo gallery to be a cop out. You gave IOS a point because their focus mode syncs across devices, but Google photos works on both iOS and Android making it the easy win for photo Gallery. Also saying Dex is basic and featureless is really downplaying how powerful it is and ios and stock Android doesn't have an answer for it. You also didn't mention the record feature on pixel. Finally on the lockscreen you gave Apple the win because you can change wallpapers when you can literally do the same thing automatically with One UI and Dynamic Wallpaper.

[@SilvioBritto]

Excellent video 100% agree. I have a Fold2 for 2 years and always samsung user and i tried 4 weeks an iPhone 14 Pro Max. Today i bought it because some things (universal back gesture, split screen, my customized keyboard with extra buttons, large and with numbers on top, gallerie with folders and the options, the faster operation at all and the bigger screen on my fold 2 as well) i missed on the iPhone. This was my 3rd iPhone (5s, 6s and 14 PM) never make it longer than 2 months to take. The iPhone is great no doubt it has cool features, best Lockscreen, AOD, best battery life, killer connectivities with AirPods, Homepod, Apple Watch, Mac etc. what I like so much and so intelligent options and secure a overall nice package.

[@jefferycampbell9182]

Even though Apple finally made a lock screen that works and you can add widgets (which Android use to do) I don't see a use for all that. I like my lock screen to be simple so it is more of a look at a glance to see the time or a notification. Plus with Samsung if you tap it you can see a few widgets like music, weather, calendar on demand when you want to. But I do give props to Apple for the multiple lock screen feature, which I would probably use if I had an iphone.

When talking about performance, I expected you to compare each software handled heavy productivity tasks like photo/video editing, switching apps while doing so, in-built file coversion features, apps retention in memory, file transfer reliability, etc. People care more about heavy duty reliability when they talking about a software's performance.

A few things you missed from the stock android lock screen.

Also by tapping the weather widget or calendar widget will open the calendar app or weather app without double tap. I don't know if you really researched the features or you just get a script but those are thing that have been part of stock android for awhile. Also you forgot to mention as part of the software is the ability to install custom launchers on Android which gives you a whole other level of customization and with the likes of nova launcher 8 it is just another ball game. I would advice you take a look at that as it's part of the android ecosystem just like using widgets from third party apps on iOS which you seem to mention.

I find that many Chinese OEMS for example have had many of those features for years now in there software and now it's been implemented more by the two dominant ones. Which is fair but also would be nice to do the research and be less biased 😅

[@jordanjackson8873]

​@darthkujo that's because no one cares. When a phone comes with half the things you're trying to get by flashing roms, then no one cares. You guys don't even hear yourself. The fact that you're comfortable using launchers for simple tasks that are available on stock OS's speaks volumes.

[@acandmishra]

19:12 , dont't you really know that samsung has feature called show notification icon only on lock screen , and using that makes it the cleanest yet functional notification

[@aswinsroy7468]

"iPhone's lockscreen is a bit cleaner " had me laughing

[@TheSultanV]

I have an iphone 11 pro and the pixel 7. To be honest, I can't put down my pixel 7. I thought lack of iMessage would be an issue, but honestly I don't care much for it. Especially since RCS is working with most of my android using friends. Iphone 11 pro is on its last leg, but it has been a great phone thus far. Would have liked an aesthetic overhaul to be honest as we've been looking at the same icon for over 10 years.

[@rqmld]

not as simple as iPhone and not as many options as Samsung. PiXEL is for me

[@archie7288]

I never used multi windows/split screen, but the pop up windows is so usefull its like windows pc, that's why i love One UI :), i wish android has full screen features to hide navigation bar & notification bar

[@datdudeinred]

You forgot file systems. Ios doesn't even have one. & that's single biggest reason for me to not switch to ios. & also the slow usb 2.0 lightning. Like if i have files let me fucking access my files.

[@anthonywilliams9415]

Facts on top of fax 📠. iOS Does have a file management system. However....it's soooooooo terrible, it's also the main reason I could NEVER switch to iOS. Great, great point!

[@datdudeinred]

@@anthonywilliams9415 Also airdrop is so unreliable I literally wasted 2hr once to just get all the photos from my brothers iphone using airdrop. And in the most critical moment it won't work. A solid usb 3 type c connection from my samsung to macbook never fails. I'm photographer and a huge deal. Thanks BTW

[@omar-senpaiii]

Your choices are so weird 🤣 Like, how you prefer iOS AOD over Android's one. Moreover, the iOS notifications are trash and you've admitted yourself that you might miss notifications on iOS which is the opposite of its main purpose. If I want a cleaner look on Android, I can enter Do Not Disturb mode or even turn off the whole notifications on the lock screen. I just can't imagine how you're OK with these choices.

[@cjpp78ytube]

What a biased software review. it was more like a "what does the iphone excel at and focus on that video". Leaving out a lot of whats good about android software wise, especially.on the pixel. No calling software coverage, no assistant features coverage or ai assisted software coverage like dictation, voice to text.

[@viriz07]

Great video Ella! Random question 🙋🏻‍♀️ where is your bookshelf from?

[@ncorvelli]

Great video! I love the transparency. I personally loved iOS 16 coming from an Android user forever. I had the iphone 14 pro max for about 3 weeks before I went back to my S22 ultra. You'd be surprised how little things really do add up of how hard it is to do certain things like editing your homescreen. I use a web browser page to sign in to see my schedule for work and it was impossible to make your own quick icon for the webpage on iOS. I had to just save it to my bookmarks on iOS rather than have an easy icon I can just make to quickly get too on my homescreen like I can in one UI. That's just one small example but I did love the iPhone for certain things but Samsung just does it better in most instances. Airplay is also super buggy for some reason and it got to a point where I didn't even want to watch a movie anymore on my smart tv (I know I could've just streamed from the smart tv but I did it because I didn't feel like setting it up. From the iphone seemed easier). It will not keep a stable connection at all. Always was disconnected every 5 minutes or so. Smart view and Chromecast work flawlessly for Samung and Android. I'll be getting the S23 ultra this coming February.

[@harrison00xXx]

I see, you missed the fact that you can add ANY weblink to the homescreen

[@joeyjoey7972]

ios is very buggy, one ui5 is solid.

[@oscarcastro9316]

Very helpful video. I’ve been considering going Galaxy for my next phone. For the past few years I’ve been switching between Pixel and iPhone, but lately I’ve been leaning towards Samsung. Any suggestions?

[@ramiimaaiah2824]

Go with S23 Ultra

[@jyothiprasad1846]

Get S23 ultra, you will be pleased.

[@craigduncan1626]

Same man I've only had the pixels of the android world, not sure if Google has me locked in, but I really want to try a Samsung I'm just worried I'll miss stock android, Google's camera and ai intelligence

[@markotodorovic1092]

The iPhone does not have AOD, it is a screen that is dimmed to the lowest value....a simple system like IOS or Stock android cannot be compared with the capabilities of ONE UI....it is simply incomparable.

[@darwincruz20]

Great video! You made an objective comparison and based on your videos you really used these phones. Love your work

[@TechHeadB]

Another thing about android is smart unlock. Whenever I’m home or driving my phone is always unlocked. Face ID struggles more times then I would like when it’s mounted in my car

[@jefferycampbell9182]

Yes... I love this feature. Get in the car and once it connects via BT and you unlock it, it will stay unlocked until you disconnect. That way if you want to open spotify or maps it saves a lot of steps.

[@moshesimmons]

Under Samsung phones there is the good luck app and it's so much more customize then stock Android and iOS in old what you said in the video

[@TexasToast94]

Screw iPhone vs Android! Both are great in their own ways. Thats why i have both an iPhone 13 Pro Max and S22 Ultra 😄

[@datdudeinred]

I think using a launcher like nova will easily solve that non removable items in pixel ui

[@gaborgabor9622]

Is that still a thing?

[@datdudeinred]

@@gaborgabor9622 Yeah if you have customized gestures and swipe on folders to open 1st app. much bigger grid, and alot more. So I can't live without my nova prime on any phone.

[@sannt.1632]

thank you, I think you are only a few youtubers that mention universal back gesture and keyboard when comparing andriod and ios.

[@MiissSomeone]

I'd prefer a video where reviewers explains the different characteristics of each but without opinion... For sure, every reviewer has preferences but these preferences should not dictate which one is the best. Everyone has its own favorite software.

[@kuronekogamer2065]

Another feature for Samsung phones that helps you with ease of use is Modes (Routines) that allows you to automate things.

[@moritlh]

One Ui is definitely an underrated UI. Samsung needs to work on improving the fluidity, tho. It has admittedly improved a lot with One UI 5

[@torezgermy2]

It has and rumor is with one UI 5.1 the primary focus is further improvements on animations and fluidity.
