      Personally I prefer a Cryptophone for $350 or even better a Librem as they’re much more secure and the software isn’t made to glitch the device so you are forced to buy a new one ...🤪 But I get it that you make money as an “Affiliate” if people click on your link & probably even more if they actually purchase right ? are the phones you have links for certified refurbished or just “renewed” ? I would highly recommend buying only certified refurbished otherwise you could be out money and a reliable device !

But, with that said, this is the longest ive gone without an iPhone, 1 year now. I have the s23 ultra, and the pixel 7 pro. But, the pad is the best media device and same with the Apple Watch. IMO

    Using the S23 Ultra since launch. I keep on switching between Apple & Samsung. The last iPhone I used was 13 Pro Max whereas I have literally used all the Samsung Note series so far. IMO, if you don't have any smartwatch, iPad, Mac or Windows PC, I think S23 Ultra will be a better choice. When I forgot to carry my Mac, I simply connected my phone to the desktop using Wireless Dex and it worked perfectly. S23 Ultra is a almost a perfect phone with actual pro usage compared to the iPhone. Don't want to go in details but the S23 Ultra can do 90% of the thing iPhone 15 Pro Max can whereas the Iphone 15 Pro max can do almost 70% of the things S23 Ultra can. As simple as that.

    Definitely love the s23 ultra. I do still photos more than video and love the spen. Stability, performance and battery have been excellent. Also appreciate split screen and multitasking in general. And then there's the clipboard and the better file system. I might slightly prefer the Apple Watch and the design of the iPhone but I also enjoy my galaxy watch 4.

  • @PhazonBlaxor
    @PhazonBlaxor 6 місяців тому +42

    One thing you did not mention about S23U and photography is that it supports full manual controls with RAW mode. It also offers digital ND, meaning you can simulate the light blocking aspects of aperture. It's the first phone I've seen to finally complete the shutter speed, aperture and ISO triangle. ND cannot affect bokeh though, but adjusting background blur is easy nowadays, so it's not a huge deal.
    Before I got the phone, I thought s-pen would be a gimmick. But honestly, it makes esiting in Lightroom so much better than with fingertips. Dex is also great for editing.
    It's truly photography enthustiasts dream device.

  • @Shambley1
    @Shambley1 6 місяців тому +50

    I’m coming back to some of these videos to share my experience with both these phones and why I chose one over the other. Maybe it will help someone else make their decision. I originally got the s23 ultra and ended up returning it for the 15 pro max. Technically I believe the s23 ultra is the more tech advanced phone and can do more but the iPhone feels more premium in hand and is more enjoyable to use in day to day tasks. The excitement of the s23 wore out quickly and it just felt like any other android phone. On the other hand the iPhone still impressed me with how premium it feels every time I pull it out of my pocket. Even just how the touch screen feels when you’re swiping around the Home Screen. I don’t know what it is but it just feels like a higher quality product. If you’re a heavy tech user and will actually use things like dex then you may want to go with the s23 but if you just use your phone to make calls, watch UA-cam, scroll social media and connect with friends then I think the iPhone is the better experience. The s23 ultra is an absolute beast and will do all the things you want it to do but for me I didn’t use even half of the things it could do and it just didn’t feel as good doing the normal everyday things as the iPhone. I honestly believe most average people will enjoy using the iPhone over the ultra but if you will use all the features like dex I completely understand the appeal in the s23. Also I have not had any of the issues people are reporting about the 15. The s23 ultra is cooler during charging but my iPhone doesn’t get overly hot. I think the battery is better on the iPhone as well. On the ultra it seemed like every time I looked at my battery percentage it had ticked down another percent. My iPhone seems to just sip battery in comparison. I know that was a bit of a ramble but it’s early and I’m tired so forgive me.

      I have an iPhone now and one of the reasons I am considering switching is simply making phone calls. The UI for iPhone calls is really getting on my nerves. The tiny little button it creates in the corner of your screen is almost impossible to select. So switching to apps during a call or putting a caller on hold to pick up another is so incredibly frustrating. Sometimes I just hang up and call back individually to avoid it. The 'Silence' button on the side is another feature I genuinely dislike. I've missed so many phonecalls because it accidentally switches while in my pocket. I am actually thinking of migrating to Android simply because the most core functionalities of a iPhone are poorly designed in UI/interface. I plan on keeping my MBP and iPad but the simple issues of iPhone seem kind of inexcusable considering how long its been around. I love it otherwise but I gotta be able to make calls haha.

    iOS is very good, the only difference is that with Android you can make more settings and with the Samsung I can take a long screenshot anywhere, with the iPhone you have to go into safari, but I'm already used to it but that can be even better.
    Video cameras are good for both, but the iPhone is really the ruler in video cameras.

    I'm still learning everything my S22 Ultra can do & it's almost 2024! It just keeps surprising me.

    Considering how much the S23 Ultra packs in terms of features I see it as the better device, iOS is still lacking in features, also some basic stuff like gallery is not well sorted like on the galaxy, also the customization is very lacking, i mean changing the font and text size is so basic compared to what can you do on the S23.

    switched from iP13PM (my first flagship after using $300-500 phones), to S23U this year.
    Man, Androids are just superior ngl.
    iOS is just too limiting, no proper notification categorisation, no T9 dialing, and fking NO BACK GESTURE.
    every app has a different way to go back, like wtf ?
    Hopefully iOS gets better now thay DU has forced them to allow sideloading.
    would definitely try iP16/17 that is if the sideloading is allowed properly just like Androids and not just for name sake.
    edit: and this was also my first Samsung device, so the Windows-Samsung ecosystem, GoodLock, etc I was experiencing first time.
    Not to mention Apple Pay doesn’t work in my country, so GPay and Samsung Wallet, were just another top notch experience.
    Overall I just don't think I will go back to iOS ever for my primary device, maybe will get it to see what is happening on that end, so we can force Samsung/Google to bring those better features.
    Like I also have a Pixel and a Xiaomi ROOTED phone, just for the experience of them.
    ngl Rooting is still more privacy friendly, and I wish the stuff I can do with rooting will eventually come to Android natively.
    and thus for similar experience, I might use iPhones as secondary device, but after S23U, my primary device for now is definitely Samsung.

    Most phones today are not cheap plastic with loose battery backs and warped plastic screens ....

S23 or for that matter every S line device has free microsoft office and can do almost everything you would do on a work pc or laptop. But I gotta say to everyone using samsung, go to display settings and turn the display mode from 'vivid' to 'normal', I find that everything is overly saturated in the vivid mode, I even compared to my iphones and the normal mode is waaay better.

My s23 ultra is the phone champion on 2023
    Come on the iPhone can't even multi task and honestly apple is based on simplicity and limitation and it should stay that way. Many features apple introduced like programmable side key and USB C Samsung we had that in 2019 and we've had for years . People saying iOS is better is nonsense and preposterous.
