Check out what I thought when I switched from S24 Ultra to Google Pixxel 9 Pro XL! kzbin.info/www/bejne/sJzOdJVprKtoi7c
What's it like switching from iPhone to android long term? Well, in this video, I share my entire 6 month journey of switching to the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra. The initial switch was a definitely a challenge (as you would expect!) as I had to transfer my whole life from my iPhone to the S24 UItra, and there were a few hiccups and pain-points along the way but, ultimately, I love the S24 Ultra, its features, and all the freedom NOT being in the Apple ecosystem can bring!
This is a long but comprehensive long-term review of the S24 Ultra, in which I explore its performance, battery life, design, camera, and talk about the issues others might have if you're considering switching away from Apple. So, put your feet up, and enjoy my struggles and my excitement in the finale of my Switching to S24 Ultra series.

If you've switched from iPhone to Android, what are your favourite 3 things about your Android phone?

I've always had an Pixel and iPhone but my iPhone was my primary. December 2022 was a turning point for me when I bought my Galaxy 360 Laptop for work (The Software I use doesn't work on a Mac). I realized how good the Samsung/Andriod Ecosystem is, it's almost comparable to the Apple Ecosystem. The flexibility is a perk and I use Dex on my Z Fold 5. It's connected to an external monitor and I use it like another laptop. I also have the S24 Ultra for work. For personal use, I use the OnePlus 11 and the OnePlus Watch 2. My Pixel Fold is literally sitting in the corner, it's a useless brick, waste of money 😂😂😂. My MacBook Pro is still used for personal use and my iPhone 14 Pro works like a charm. Both ecosystems are awesome and I would urge everyone to use both.

That's me, I'm the Bixby user. I only use it for quick conversions, quick searches, or just really basic tasks. I don't need to have a "conversation" with it, and for complex tasks, it's better that I just do it myself instead of telling an assistant what to do. For what I use it for, it works pretty well.

Bixby user here. Actually, when I started using assistant I started using Bixby and Google Assistant simultaneously first to compare them. And I still do. Althoug I use Google more, as is better for some things, Bixby still surpasses on requests I have including the phones settings and apps as it is a Samsung product.

[@Simone-k3p]

People trash talk Bixby a lot so let me clear it up again here cause nobody listens - Bixby was designed with Korea voice recognition first. Korean. Getting a robot to understand Korean was a monumental task at the time, and Sammy pulled it off and it was something to behold. Why does nobody use it in English? (kinda sounds like a you problem) Because, when Samsung finished that voice model it ironically couldnt understand spoken English. That software bug, patch, and delayed release ultimately contributed to its slow start, and eventual downfall ; something that Sammy really wanted to avoid cause it was supposed to be their version of Siri. It hasnt recovered since. So now you know.

@snapdragon, I use Bixby daily, and the DeX in mine little S24 is perfect. I have the ergonomics, cameras are great to me and when I wanna go big, DeX. That's the beauty of Android, options. Your device is for you to adjust to your particular life freely.

[@PeteMatheson]

exactly this! Love to hear more about Bixby. Is that just because it has more access to the device functions over Google?

[@SilvioBritto]

@@PeteMatheson in majority yes, the integration with Modes and Routines is very good. And the easy and quick access to hardware related functions (flashlight, camera etc). The music identification works seamless too. Still not tried the integration with SmartThings, but appears to be great also. Is rumored that it'll receive a major update with AI still this year. Google Assistant got worse with time, and Gemini is a bad Assistant so far in its development.

[@alineo1117]

Hey pete , there is alot talking about the warming and I’m thinking of switching to S24U after 10 Years of Apple System . So any advice ? Or is it deserve to live with for 3-5 years ? I hope you respond.

[@PeteMatheson]

Hey man! Not sure what you mean about the warming - but in general the spec of this phone will see you through for many years to come - plus Samsung's commitment to 7 years of updates for it should help!

[@justinfrazier2628]

He’s talking about how the 15 Pro Max that I’m typing this on is heating up higher than previous phones. Apple says that it is expected during use but they are fixing it on the 16’s.

[@ZotmundSzele]

You don't even need an S24 ultra to love and stay in Android. That's what most people don't even know.

[@Gremlin256]

Back on the iPhone?

[@LaachaaBro]

Is s24 ultra worthy without free AI?

[@tech_goblin1]

New subscriber here, very well done. I seem to bounce back and forth from iPhone to Galaxy phones. I do it quite often and I after making a switch I find myself just weeks and sometimes days wanting to swap back. I think I have a problem :)

[@PeteMatheson]

haha! Join the club 😂 And a huge welcome for being a new subscriber, thank you! Switching keeps it fun, it's definitely not a problem.... I think ;)

[@KKH92]

Me too lol

[@saleemfamily3784]

For battery life, I am limiting the upper limit of charge to 80%, and I have no issues. You have a lot of customizations to control that will prolong battery life

[@egon446]

6 months is not enough. Android issues are after 2Y mark usually. I used HTC one (the first one) then Galaxy S8 and then S10 after that S21 ultra and every single got much, much slower after around 2 Y mark. My iPhone 12 Pro max is now 4 years old- battery is to be switched but it is as snappy as ever......

[@jpraiders653]

I just can’t get over how unattractive the sharp square design is, though I’m sure some people love it!

[@KimberlyGould-w2s]

I love the design. iPhone user for years and seriously thinking of getting a Samsung next upgrade!!!!

[@mimiborlovan374]

@jpraiders653 i love the square design. It's beautiful to me. I don't like round edges anymore, with a case, you don't notice the square corners.

[@joonasenckell]

It is always nice to refresh with something new to you. Thats why I might try the Apples ecosystem 😁. I have iPhone as workphone and few things that I value in daily that is, display color calibration and picture colors straight from phone are more pleasing to me. Not that I know anything about color science etc. This is just opinion and how I see.

[@DJcoto1097-2]

i loved this video, it makes me wanna try the samsung s24 ultra too (if only i have money to burn)... and jeez, the last part of the memories was a nice touch, a tear dropped and now i'll keep wondering what to do

[@PeteMatheson]

🙌🏼 so glad you enjoyed it. Trying to make these videos better every time!

[@goodvibesonly7818]

I only got the phone a few days ago, I'm the only one who thinks that it discharge too quickly and heats up too easily, I honestly😢😪 didn't expect this from such a powerful and expensive phone😢

[@pono321]

Said it yourself powerful phone, charges quickly ? How's that bad jaja

[@DerekRaymondSr]

You my friend have a NEW SUBSCRIBER! Great content ♥️

[@PeteMatheson]

Siiiick! Thanks man, appreciate the view, comment + sub!

[@alikafaji]

Amazing video and useful review.. as usual.. keep it up man!

[@PeteMatheson]

Thanks man, appreciate you watching and commenting!

[@ajaj9268]

Waiting for a video switching from s24u to iphone 16 pro max 😂

[@rcbmulder]

went from pixel 6 pro to iphone 14 pro for the smaller (flagship) option. missed better camera (processing) on pixel, apple just loses details in shadows unless shooting in RAW, other things, get used to - like airtags/iWatch - work well. pixel9 pro compact around the corner and thinking about going back to android. So do I go to pixel and lose airtags/iwatch or wait and see what iphone 16 pro bring (likely much more expensive too)

[@larrytoliver3060]

Great video, I am an s24 ultra user. Love the battery life and camera abilities. Never used an IPhone but the comparison was great their both great phones.

[@christophhazy8080]

Do you use the 57 inch samsung ultrawide or 40 inch dell at the moment? Which one is better for mac? With the 57 inch I will suffer scaling issues. So which one is the better pick in sour opinion?

[@PeteMatheson]

Dell 40 video out on Wednesday next week!

[@joeszef0829]

I have both and couldn't decide which one to keep, so I just use both of them.

[@PeteMatheson]

Haha! Nice, yeah they're both great 👍🏼

[@BelTricky]

I wonder why Samsung doesn’t provide the S24 with the Snapdragon chipset in Europe. They still provide their own, less powerful chipset instead making some customers looking at other brands.

[@Gadgetsnutrition]

Which phone has better battery life?

[@The_Broman]

Sad to say, still the iphone. Depends quite heavily based on your apps and usage, but overall my Iphone still has over 30% longer baterry life on a daily basis.

[@solorca30]

I wish I had the same experiences, but so far I've really disliked the switch. My biggest issue isn't really the phone itself, it's the performance of apps. In general, it seems like iPhone apps are so much more polished. I've also been really disappointed with how difficult it it to do simple privacy actions I could easily do on iPhone (, it seems to be impossible to not get a drop down notification when you have any other type of notification present

[@quentonk8102]

Falling out of love with s24u every day. I'm lost on features.I don't know which ones it has or how to access them. The keyboard voice dictate is still terrible, bixby is no better and it is not comfortable to hold. I don't know if I'll be back next year. Great camera, though
