[@braydonh2150]

Am i the only one that prefers a fingerprint reader over face id?

[@anthonyhernandez6230]

Yes

[@CSnrgy]

Absolutely not

[@REVIEWSONTHERUN]

Thanks for sharing it. ✌️

[@TerrenRule]

thank you :)

[@lbeetech]

Samsung does not need to make their phones iPhones to be good phones. Snap out of your Apple sheeple think...

[@TerrenRule]

I didn't say Samsung needs to make their phones iPhones to be good phones. I said that iPhones had very specific "quality of life" features like secure Face ID that many people are accustomed to. It's really not that serious tbh lol Just an observation I had from my personal experience with the phone.

[@lbeetech]

@TerrenRule You just made my point again. iPhone users only see the world from the perspective of what Apple has provided to them. It's not like they have a choice. And it's not like whatever they are used to is the preferred standard.

[@moafishing5654]

​@@TerrenRulewho the hell cares about secure face Id, seriously now 😊

[@danielvargo4498]

​@TerrenRule man its sad how people act over phones these days every one has a preference ya know both of them are great phones

[@RedheadLG]

As an iPhone user coming over to the galaxy s24 ultra i do NOT want face id instead of a fingerprint reader. The fingerprint reader is so much more convenient (actually works in sunlight!) and there's no ugly notch or pill cutout at the top of the phone

[@x7N1NJ47x]

im a huge fan of the fingerprint reader having switched from the 13 pro max to the s24u. the only problem is that the reader is a tiny bit touchy sometimes like all sensor recognition tech, but it really does work smoothly like 99% of the time. That being said it is hard to find a good screen protector that will work with the touch sensor but the gorilla glass is tough and the anti-reflective tech is lost once you put on a screen protector so take that risk if you dare.

[@RagingBad]

​@@x7N1NJ47xyou can raise the screen sensitivity on the settings and also register one fingerprint twice, that'll solve any issues with screen protectors

[@Unknownuserhtps]

Yeah but checking your notifications sucks because it doesn’t stay on the Lock Screen for you it just takes you home

[@drestrick3899]

Awesome video!!!

[@TerrenRule]

Thanks!!:)

[@Lego83]

WOW.. VERY INFORMATIVE

[@POVwithRC]

I made the migration to Samsung with the note 9, then bobbled back and forth Apple/Samsung every couple years. I'm now on the S23u and I'll probably end up with the S24u or 25 if this one lasts long enough. Going with Samsung is really a matter of enjoying the phone and putting up with the wearable experience. Galaxy watch and any wearOS device is five years behind the experience on an Apple watch. I can't give up my handset experience just to have the Apple watch anymore.

[@RagingBad]

Five years is an exaggeration, calm your tits

[@tim-blc]

Have you tried to transfer the data from icloud? In the app smart switch is a button for this 😊 great video 👍🏽

[@TerrenRule]

I tried all the options, not successful in any to get my iMessages. Also, I'm fairly certain when doing data from iCloud, it doesn't transfer your iMessages. I could be wrong but I'm pretty certain that was the case

[@missgapmissgap1]

How about the notes? I am on dilemma about converting from apple to samsung right now. All my important data is on Apple notes. It would be inconvenience for me to write again (back to zero) on Samsung notes. Thank you.

[@Tech4YourNeeds]

Switching your data one problem I see is the messing iMessage versus regular text. I'm not 100 percent sure if that is the cause of the problem or if other apps are because they are not native compatibility to each operating system. That is my thinking behind it.

[@x7N1NJ47x]

having switched from iphone it was not an issue. only stored messages from the last 30 days tho.

[@user-ub9zd1lo6d]

I would rather have the fingerprint and touch the phone once. Apple face unlock is pick up phone and still have to swipe anyway. Why not just touch it once with fingerprint and you're in?

[@Unknownuserhtps]

Because it’s not as fast when you use it day to day Yes you have to swipe, but if you just wanna see your notifications then it’s a longer process unlike the iPhone

[@lucastacchi4385]

​@galaxyrockstudio4813 but you don't have to unlock your phone to see your notifications...

[@demetriccauthen-no1jy]

We tried tell yall iPhones users we was the best

[@TerrenRule]

LOL

[@cuteatif19]

Good video. But the transfer worked for me flawlessly, everything was transferred in a little over two hours. Only thing I did not like is that the albums in gallery were not as I had on my iPhone, instead it put all in one "recents" album.

[@martinpratley4632]

You can change the gallery in many ways if u look in the options

[@anand.chaudhari]

3:00 fingerprint sensor is far better cuz you don’t have to pick up the phone every time, kid🤦‍♂️

[@mrlukeisspeaking4391]

Exactly. I couldn't even believe he said that with a straight face

[@TerrenRule]

Hm I mean to each their own, I respect your perspective. To be clear I've used fingerprint sensors my whole life until I had an iPhone with Face ID. It's just a matter of personal preference, and no, you don't need to pick up your phone for Face ID to work. Simply hovering towards my phone on the table does the trick to unlock it.

[@TheDessel]

So you have to use your hands in order to use Apples FaceID? May I enquire how do you use Samsungs fingerprint unlock without using your hands? At worst case scenario, it’s the same thing. Of course, you don’t even need to touch your iPhone in order for faceID to work… Just sayin’ ;)

[@Unknownuserhtps]

lol you think it’s better so that’s also your opinion My reason for liking it is because I do t have to think about it and it’s easy to check my notifications unlike with the fingerprint scanner It takes you to the homescreen instead of showing you what you missed

[@arturl4019]

I liked your video review and your honest point of view. Many long time iPhone users either complain on the switching process, or ridiculise or trash Android. It's disappointing there's no seamless phone content transfer process from one platform to the other, but then maybe neither of the parties is very interested, so there's very little progress in that respect. At the end of the day there are many differences between iOS and Android

[@TerrenRule]

Thanks for watching! And yeah, I mean the switching process wasn't great for me, but in the grand scheme of things it doesn't take away from how much fun the S24 Ultra is to use at the end of the day

[@hankmiller990]

I find the inscreen fingerprint scanner way more easy than face unlock. You don't have to lift your phone towards your face when it's laying on the table.

[@Unknownuserhtps]

I find Face ID more convenient since I can easily check my notifications

[@hankmiller990]

@@Unknownuserhtps I can check my notifications without lifting the phone. Only a finger on the fingerprint scanner.

[@weekendwarrior8179]

It's just you with the face ID. The pixel 8 pro also has a face ID. As does the new opp 6 pro. S-pen also lets you zoom and switch cameras by using gestures with it. Transfer works better without the cable.

[@kasten8020]

But the big problem is Face Unlock only works at Dayliht, at Night or in dark areas it wont work. Also Optical Fingerprint readers like Pixel 8 Pro, are insane bright and disturbing at night when you unlock your Phone. I want Apples Face ID and Samsung Ultrasonic Fingerprint Reader

[@Markus56165]

Pixel 8 Series has secured face unlock that works with banking apps. Some other phones have as well that are much newer than the Pixel 4. The S24 Ultra is a great phone but on my Android line, I'm fully locked into the OnePlus Open. Foldables are a game changer for me and don't see myself using a non foldable phone on my Android line. On my main line, I use a 15 Pro Max. It's awesome but I barely use it compared to my OnePlus Open on my work line. Apple needs to quit dragging their feet and get into the foldable game!

[@Unknownuserhtps]

Foldable phones are still gimmicks for most people, they just aren’t durable at all for most people And the pixel 8’s face scan doesn’t work in low light or weird conditions unlike on apple

[@Subin_Khan]

I have both phones, and I think fingerprint scanner is more convenient than face ID.

[@ioannisvasilatos53]

What about screen protector, does it work well the fingerprint? Thanks.

[@Juicemanee]

Man I was so close on making the switch but I’m fully embedded into the Apple ecosystem, I just can’t let it go. The iPhone and every product they make is built to last and I swear I never had a problem with none of my iPhones , I had the 4s,5,6,8,x,11,12 and now 14 , never had issues. I do get so bored of it though that’s why I was close to switching but maybe being bored means it’s working so good.

[@tcaredetailing8046]

Well i made the switch from 11 to samsung and now i have the s24 ultra i never go back to iphone... still the macbooks are the best on rhe market... but the samsung phones are really next lvl

[@nafeeahnaf6296]

Bored means they're doing nothing new or exciting, apple lacks any kind of innovation

[@PleaseTakeNote]

@@tcaredetailing8046i switched from flip 4 to iphone 14 Pm because the galaxy broke. Never looked back either

[@marseilleicon]

I used to be like you champ, but I made the switch and the customization, performance, functionality is amazing. S24 it is!!

[@POVwithRC]

@@nafeeahnaf6296 Innovation is meaningless next to stability. Boredom is a personal problem

[@Chris-xz1ii]

Is it really so hard to do research bro 3:06 Honor/ Huawei have had the ultrasonic fingerprint reader and 3D face id technology since 2019😂😂😂...my goodness Mr "Apple Fanboy"

[@pepsicherry6389]

[@Phoun]

It's the beSt phone PERIOD!

[@fennekindol2503]

I have seen a few videos where twins can unlock each other's iphone with face id, so, No. Fingerprint is better.

[@SwitchGads]

Here’s a question to the Apple heads that’s been around since 2007. 17 years on the same OS….why? Even 10 years is crazy. Not wanting to change up every once in a while…switch things up here and there?

[@Aniruddha_2507]

Because people are buying iphones like hotcakes, so why bother with a new OS

[@TerrenRule]

I mean I'd argue iOS from 2007 and today are vastly different...

[@RagingBad]

​@@Aniruddha_2507that answer was retarded

[@SwitchGads]

@@TerrenRule I wouldn't call it "vastly" different. But they made some changes. iOS from 07 functions pretty much the same today at the core.

[@SwitchGads]

@@Aniruddha_2507 Good point. Family and friends are really dictating which OS to choose.

[@MrBhong2000]

I switch between my 15 pro max and s23 ultra. Love em both but gotta give it to apple for their face unlock. Second to none

[@SlavicandScandinavianGirlLover]

🥱

[@rickconrad78]

I actually just switched from Samsung to Apple. After 15 years of being on android so I know what android can do. I had the s23 ultra and went with the 15 pro max. In terms of hardware Samsung is probably the best. In terms of a seamless ecosystem, face unlock, face time for phone calls and messages Apple is simply unmatched. You can have the best phone in the world but what’s it worth if your ecosystem sucks. And I know. I had the galaxy buds and galaxy watch 5 so while it’s not the newest watch Samsung has it’s recent….and in comparison to the ecosystem and accessories that Apple has and can do…..android ain’t all that. Especially if your friends and family all have iPhones….which most people do. 7 out of 10 of the top selling phones on the planet are all iPhones …one seamless experience. I know I’m gonna get a bunch of hate from a bunch of tech geeks but it’s the truth. In terms of a phone being just that….a phone…connecting people….apple is unmatched

[@shivamkrishn]

🤣🤣 really? For how long? A week? Then you'll make a video "Switching back to the ecosystem sorry Samsung" lol

[@TerrenRule]

I can confirm I will not be making a video called "Switching Back to the ecosystem Sorry Samsung" lol Not my style, but I hope you still enjoyed this review :)

[@shivamkrishn]

@@TerrenRule I'm not liking the phone, camera processing still needs a lot of software improvements, battery is also not the best. I wish I chose pro Max over this, better stability, better battery, better social media optimization

[@wHyNoTCaTs-ef4yh]

​@@shivamkrishnthe 15pm only has better social media optimization and that's generally because apple is more strict with app development from 3rd parties It has a worse battery than the s24u both in real world usage and capacity. It also charges alot faster 😊 2. When using the main ui day to day there are no hiccups on either... Ofc the devices will glitch at times but that's universal to all mobile phones as at the end of the day they are just machines😅😊

[@shivamkrishn]

@@wHyNoTCaTs-ef4yh Thanks man for adding your insights respectfully ❤️. In my testing, a lot my friends+ some youtubers are having battery drain issues on this phone which is basically software polishness related. I did test a 15pm and in my usage and testing that phone lasted atleast 1.5hrs longer in performing exact similar tasks. But yes iOS is darn boring as hell.

[@CoachD77]

Sticking with my S23 Ultra asy secondary phone to my iPhone 14 Pro. I love the functionality of the S23U but I'm disappointed with the Android OS update process between Samsung and AT&T. Still haven't gotten my recent screen update. AI will be coning to older devices and I'm not a big camera guy, so that doesn't matter to me. Nice video.

[@RagingBad]

The problem is At&t not Samsung, also, the update for the screen is for the S24U not the S23U

[@Hollow_762]

I’ve always been a iPhone guy, but just like most people when this phone was announced. I fell into the hype I Wanted to try something new and I can honestly and easily say worst decision of my life. Android still has a long way to go the camera on the S 24 was mid-level at Best my friends S 23 Ultra Shot Way better photos took way better videos and comparison to the s24 my iPhone 14 pro max did both things way better then on the s24 as well I will say that the screen on the s24 is amazing the battery life on the S 24 was as well but that’s where it ends for me. I ended up returning the phone buying a iPhone 15 Pro Max and couldn’t be more happier the videos this phone takes are amazing, the photos 10 times better than on the 24 little things like location sharing FaceTime iMessage family albums things that I thought didn’t matter turned out they mattered a lot. And to think this years iPhone will compete with the s24 I can only imagine the Ai stuff they bring and overall new design that’s rumored both are great phones but don’t fall for the hype of either go off what works best for you the consumer

[@danielvargo4498]

If Samsung made a watch that was as good as ultra 2 then i would switch

[@TerrenRule]

Yeah that's a really interesting perspective that I also share tbh. I adore my Apple Watch and how it tracks my fitness. However, I haven't tried a Samsung Watch yet, so it's something I'd like to explore soon.

[@Justmakesomenoiz]

I've had 2 of them actually. It's a good phone but it has its flaws. 1. The camera is so bad coming from 15 PM 2. Worthless speakers sounds tinny 3. Many has big issues with grain and jeans effect and also banding 4. Many apps are still far behind vs apple 5. Pretty easy to scratch and the front screen isn't that good towards scratches. 6. Bloat ware from Samsung That's just to name a few things I didn't like. Some are fixable but it's so bad from Samsung to ship an high end phone with obvious flaws to the screen. Needs to be calibrated better. Many have had other issues as screen leaking light, green light showing itself under the screen and so on. Overall a good phone but it didn't have that wow factor everyone was talking about. Pretty gimmicky AI features also. But they are on the right path. Gonna look att the fold 6 that might sway me over but as of today not interested.

@@RagingBad Travel time in calendars, location based reminders, copy and paste between iPad, Mac and iPhone. I personally prefer to have all photos on my device saved in the photos app as opposed to different files which makes locating them easier. Stock widget on iPhone is a much better implementation than S24Us version. Double tap the screen to wake up is horrendous. Swiping icons on Lock Screen to activate them is awkward. Why not just a tap of the icon and then a tap on the fingerprint reader. Just little things. But the S24U has its pros too.
