I appreciate everyone that's come to the channel in the last month, we've seen the most growth in the last few weeks than we've seen in a while on the channel and it means a lot. However, I wanted to get something off my chest - lately I've been finding it hard to keep up with the channel, and it's caused an overall lack of disinterest and has shoved my creativity down the drain. I want to start making some fun videos, and it's something I'm going to start incorporating more. It's not that I don't take the channel seriously, but I guess discussing the same phones over and over can get pretty mind-numbing, so bare with me while I find my bearings and look into ways of expanding on the niche I've been in.
I love what I do, I can't thank you all enough for allowing me to do this full time, but it has it's pros and cons. Probably time to start hiring an editor. email me here valismind@proton.me with a portfolio, I would like to spend more time on the narrative, and filmmaking, but allow for a new creative take and skill-level in the videos that I myself cannot achieve alone.

The S24 series is the king of Smartphones, Google it and even Google put the S24 series as the overal top 1 best phone and, Samsung ecosystem is better because everything in your house can be bought from samsung and can be connected even your Samsung Toaster can take 200mp photos and your Samsung Refrigerator can talk and take a screenshot , Samsung is the better choice
The S24 series is the overal top 1 best phone ever, Samsung is the goat
@@ricianobommel4298 best phone based on what? More features and abilities?
Can I ask what you found easiest to use?, what didn’t you like about android
This whole 'communication issue' people talk abkut only seems an issue in America.
Everyone else uses Whatsapp and Google services. I switched from 15 years of iphone to the S24 ultra with absolutely ZERO issues whatsoever! Its a non issue
It really is only an issue here in North America, Canada and US are pretty bad for relying on iMessage. Whatsapp is really only used in the workforce, along with telegram and signal - and people seem to associate them with work, and not use them for their communication.
ft and imessage needs to be available in the google play store
Same here in South Africa. No one uses iMessage or FaceTime😂 third-party apps work perfectly
@@valismind I use WhatsApp to talk to my girlfriend.
definitely an American issues, I've switched back and forth with zero hassles.
Quick story... Thanksgiving 2023, many of my family and friends were walking around with their iPhones out and waving them around. When it came time to take a group photo, I set my S23 Ultra on a tripod, checked the focus and joined my family. My sister said she would take the photo because she had the newest iPhone. She placed it on her stand, aimed it and ran to the group. After 3 failed attempts, I told them not to worry, I had multiple photos. They said, No you don't! You've been standing here the whole time. I grabbed my phone and showed everyone the incredible photos. They asked in amazement, How did you do that? I took the s-pen out of my pocket and said, I don't use an iPhone! I could hear their bubbles popping all over the room.
Sweet! 😂
at least your family has class using iPhones, sad it didn't rub off on you.
@@internationalplayboy8685 lmfao you're an npc that's for sure. You use iPhone because you care what others think of you? Why can't you use iPhone because it's your own individual choice?
@@RossLemon your mom disagrees. Only simps use TikTok slang, time to leave your parents basement maybe.
😂😂😂😂
A reviewer who actually explains how to get around the apple eco system issue 👍
6:43 *DID THE GOOGLE ASSISTANT ON YOUR TV WAKE UP TO THE WORD "Google"???*
lol that's hilarious! 😆😂
LMAO 🤣
I grabbed the s24 after being on iphone since the 4s and its been such a blast. A huge breath of fresh air. I still love apple products but this takes me back to the middle school/high school days when android was in it's infancy.
The whole blue bubble green bubble thing was never an issue in Europe, because almost everyone used WhatsApp from the start. In the early days there was even WhatsApp for blackberry and Symbian phones. And of course Windows phones. When people later switched to Android or iOS, it was a no brainer to keep using WhatsApp.
Back in the days when WhatsApp started, I paid for the App on my iPhone 3GS a one-time fee of 1,59€, if I remember correctly.
Random question where did you find that background image shown at 10 seconds in the video? I really like it.
I left 14 pro max to s24 ultra as well love it.
Keep up the good videos man awesome stuff!
What have you missed from iOS so far? I also want to leave my 14 pro max for an s24 ultra
@@robinfaigmane10 I mean my personal s24 ultra has some scuffing that’s the one thing that sounds stupid but I baby my phones and it has scuffs like not even sure how it happened never dropped so I guess I miss durability. Other than that just the social media aspect is worse on android just how it all syncs. Basically the optimization
@@Zommmbies I see. these are very helpful feedback. I am more of a social media person, so I value having smooth social media apps on my phone. does the S24 provide that?
Same situation for me but I had iPhone 12 pro..
@robinfaigmane10 I have the s24 Ultra And all the apps I have work nice and smooth.. Especially the basic ones that most people have.
Pretty sure you're gonna dump this phone for the flip/fold when that's out & dump that for the iPhone when that comes out, hard to trust reviewers these days when they hold onto a phone for only a few months
Duh, they have to use the next big thing to review and make content on them. It's not that deep.
@@brent3522 well duh bro not everyone buys a new device every 4 months even with all the money in the world, it's just nonsensical, unless you want your data all over the place, fck that
@@mac8669 yeah, and not everyone review phones for a living. If reviewers don't use the latest phones, then what are they supposed to do then?
@@brent3522 it really isn't this deep, and I get this comment across any video I make. I tried the oneplus 12, and I came back to the S24 Ultra. It's been the only phone I've really enjoyed in the last little while, I like it a lot. This one is different. Yes, I'll cover the latest iPhone, or whatever, but I wouldn't be putting my sim in it this time - not until Apple really decides to make a change in iOS.
They all do this.
6:09 what are the point of sales terminals like in (I think you said) Canada? Here (UK), every POS terminal seems to support contactless debit cards and therefore supports Apple Pay and Google Pay. It's possible all three of those payment methods work on the exact same technology. It's everywhere, buses, shops, the rail network etc
Hey there, so i have been an iPhone user since iPhone 6 when they went to the bigger phones. Thank you for making my decision easier to switch to the S24 Ultra. Been doing research and I honestly got board with IPhone, plus I like the style of the S24 ultra over the boring iPhone. I have an Apple Watch and a iPad M1 Pro 11inch as well. Keeping everything . I will be switching in the next couple of weeks. Excited!. Thanks again for your vids. Much appreciated
The S24 ultra is awesome, I actually have it, but you already have an Apple ecosystem, and Apple makes the compatibility of their products with other phones kind of bad, so you should check on that. Rather if you want to keep the ecosystem working altogether smooth and nicely, or you introduce the new amazing and capable phone and have some trouble with the compatibility, its gonna be a good choice.
I bought an S24 model because it has so much more to offer than an iPhone according to the know-it-alls on UA-cam. And after two weeks I was already tired of the phone. A phone is a phone, and with a phone you call, text or take photos every now and then. I prefer a smooth and pleasant way of working with a good connection to Apple products, than having to fuss with a 3rd party app every time on Android devices. The connections are not optimal at all on Android.. But you will figure this out after a few weeks..
@@Tha-King-Arthur "the connections are not optimal at all..." You're gonna have to explain that one. And what third party apps do you have to fuss with every time on Android?
Your Apple Watch will not work at all with an Android phone. Just FYI. Everything else is easily doable going from iPhone to Android.
I have the iPhone 14 Pro and S23 Ultra. You will get a mix of love and hate with the S series and OS. The options and functionality are great, but the bugs will be annoying which is something the Samsung Knights won't convey to you, since they hate Apple so much. Too many times I have my S23U and I experience bugs and I just have to switch back to my 14 Pro. The iPhone just works for me but yes, boring as hell. Bugs: Opaque screen overlay out of nowhere and I can barely see my home screen until I click on a folder to see my apps. Multitasking window pops up out of nowhere but it's just the bar with the arrow and ellipsis. Moving to Android 14 caused my entire phone to reset to factory settings. These things are frustrating to me but when these are not occurring, beautiful phone! I do have a few bugs on my iPhone but nothing major. Hope you enjoy your S24 Ultra, glad you had the power to move away from Apple and their method of staying stale.
Love watching your videos in this woman was a great one as well. I'm about like you as far as iPhone and android. I'm still using my iPhone 13 pro Max and my Samsung s23 ultra. I carry around my 13 pm because a couple of my band members still using iMessage and don't want to use any other platform. The two phones I mentioned I bought new and both are holding up extremely well. Keep up the excellent work!
Honestly seen this video on my home recs for a few days and been skipping for no reason in particular. Upon watching it. This was a terrific update/review. Keep it up. Subbed 😎
Love the video, bro! I agree with you 100% here. The S24 Ultra has taken the top spot in my pocket and that's big!
After several months "why I switched back to iPhone 15 promax. After that "long time apple user switches to Galaxy S24 Ultra". After a month, "Galaxy user switched to iPhone 16promax. After couple of months, "long time IP16Promax user switched to Galaxy s25 Ultra.
exactly. glad youre not a sheep
@@TheSpiritOfTheWest So your a Android and not a sheep? LOL..
I@@TheSpiritOfTheWest the same could be said about you lol. If it was the opposite, you would call him sheep now. Whereas you are not leas than an apple sheep aka
ANDROID SHEEP
@@Tha-King-Arthur can apple fanboys stop being stupid for one second? Get some reading comprehension my dude, the "glad you're not a sheep" comment was refering to the fact that this type of content is clickbait, how he will keep switching between iphone and android every couple of months to get as many views as possible. How when the iphone 16 releases he will have a video up like "S24 Ultra users switches to iphone 16 pro max" and then "Iphone 16 pro max users switches to s25 Ultra". That's what the comment meant, because there's a lot of "sheep" (as in dumb people) here that will not realize this is clickbait and he will keep switching back and forth for views. Nobody called anyone a sheep for simply liking Apple products, but oh well if the shoe fits...
Exactly this. So tired of those bait videos. I literally laugh when he said even the reception is miles better on his Samsung.
You can have both Samsung Pay and Google wallet. I use Samsung Pay as my default but having the Google wallet has bailed me out a few times.
What’s your opinion on the grainy screen in low light/dark backgrounds? I’m contemplating switching from 15 pro to S24 Ultra
There is no grainy screen.. They fixed or updated that stuff but it was never like that on min 0:01 e to begin with.. The screen is sooooo much better than iPhone imo.. Biggest reason I switched. I was jealous of all of these great screens. Samsung has while I had the iPhone for the last like 15 years.
Im switching from 11Pro Max next week and looking forward to it. As for messaging, apple is slated to adopt the RCS way this year!
So... how's it going?
@RagingBad UPDATE--made the switch after being with apple since 2010 and wow! What a vast difference! Feels like freedom!
Great video as always I especially like how you talk about if your not making money off of social media that the quality of your videos/ pictures are fine on Samsung because they are this is very informative for people who are wanting to make the switch but fear they maybe missing out.
I'm about to get the s24 ultra this up coming Friday and I'm excited I'm switching from an iPhone 13 pro I am a little nervous but excited to try something new
I’ve experienced the same issues regarding cell signal. My former S21+ got a better signal and better service than my IPhone 15 Pro. Same carrier. Appreciate the video!
Great content 👊🏾
Good job man!
Excellent and honest presentation. Thank you
Great video. One major issue I'm having with thr s24 is in the need prius. The audio gets paused when playing a UA-cam video or any non AA app. It's insanely terrible and enough to make me want to send it back. The error is "audio paused. Volume will not be adjusted." I googled it. Been an issue for a year with no fix. People should know about this.
Great video and I appreciate your input I love my s24+
I’ve tried Android a few times over the years, and like you I would end up back on iOS simply because it felt comfortable. I’m keen to give the S24 Ultra a go, and looking at things I’d need to do switching today, there’s no show stoppers. iMessage I’d get by without, mostly using messenger or Signal anyway. Never use FaceTime, and barely switch between phone and MacBook, so won’t miss those either. Main thing holding me back right now (besides cash) is my Apple Watch Ultra. Great bit of kit.
Great video I am going through the same thing, I must have changed my esim between iphone 15 pro and s24 ultra about 50 time. I want to use the S24 but I find it a little heavy and communication. Any tips and help, will be great. I also use ipad/Macbook Air and airpods.
The thing that sucks is, is that when you're already in the ecosystem the iPhone is just better for you - I do know a handful of people who use Mac along with an android device, but it's more-so people who also have an iPhone as a second sim alongside it. You're basically taking away features from your other devices just to enjoy another phone. It's tough.
Thank you. You wright of course. I say writing this reply on my s24 ultra 😂. I am sure I will grow a big pair to change and benefit from both worlds.
Thought it was just me. I must drive my carrier nuts with calling to switch the SIMS back. Lately though, when I switch back to Iphone that lasts less than a day and find myself back on my Pixel 8 Pro and not Iphone. I call less when I use my Pixel 8 Pro. Just wish that Android can come up with a solid smartwatch that rivals the Apple watch. Pixel watch is nice but the notifications are not the same.
Loved the review! Very honest!
I actually could not find your wallpapers with circle to search.
Can you share the wallpaper on the S24 at 2:16 and also at 9:50?
thanks
It looks like the new samsung s24 ultra feature, the AI generated wallpaper.
@@voodoochile333 its actually doesn't, also, there is no watermark of AI.
Awesome stuff, one of the best for us people switching from Iphones.. Really thankyou for making it much easier for us Valis ❤
Much appreciate you thank you :)
Hi there @ValisMind 👋
I just subscribed to your channel. Very good review, thank you for doing it. 👍
I have always been Android user. I am currently using OnePlus 10 Pro, even tho it is 2 years old phone now, it is still pretty good phone for me for every day use.
Thanks for your input on this. I have bought the s24 ultra yesterday. I absolutely love it. It's Bye Felicia to iphone for me!
It's split down the middle for me give or take. (regarding friends platform preferences). Slight 'advantage' to Samsung / Android vs iOS / iPhone
Nice, informative video on the iPhone to Samsung switch! I’m considering it, even though I LOVE my Apple environment (macOS, iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, and tvOS). I want to pull a full switch for a few months. I doubt it will be a full switch forever, but it will be a very interesting and educational, and . . . Who knows?! Move videos on this experience will be appreciated!
Try getting a Galaxy Tab, Watch and Buds, the Samsung ecosystem is very good and on par with Apple's rn, the new Galaxy Book is also a nice addition to Galaxy ecosystem
Great video!! Interesting take that you have about messages over there in Canada. I’m form Brazil, and here most people have android and use WhatsApp. Even people that have iPhone (myself included, I’m using my first iPhone ever, the iPhone 14) don’t use iMessage. there’s just no reason to since everybody uses WhatsApp.
I agree about the modem, I have the OnePlus 12 which has the same modem and the service is amazing. Way better than my friends iPhones
I found your channel when looking for reviews on the S23 Ultra, and was disappointed when I saw you went to the 15 Pro Max. Then I thought about it, and remembered that I did the same for years, albeit in the early days of iPhone and Android. I’ve been stuck in the iOS world since 2013 and I’m…bored. Thanks for sharing!
Trying the s24 ultra for the past few days...after being for years with an iPhone. So far so good but it takes some getting used to
You know you missed that Apple ecosystem ~~
Same.. I love my apple 4k tv though. Best thing ever.. So smooth compared to anything else that is the same.
Resale value sucks on anything non apple but I do love that there is actual innovation with android. 90% of people are only with apple because everyone they personally know is. The build quality was one of the only reason I stuck with apple but now that the ultras are made of good quality materials and updates are extended there is no point to stick with apple for me personally.
But trade in value is amazing with Samsung, makes buying a replacement phone super easy and cheap.
That's good tho I buy the older flagships for very good deals and pass it on to my family when I buy something new
@@nafeeahnaf6296 good for buying not selling is what I mean
never resale my phone, the phone will go to my wife, sister, my kids and all my family when i have a new one😊
"Resale value" is the dumbest excuse! It's a PHONE not a car! Get a better job if you need value retention for a phone! 😂😂
I'm also from Canada and use a Samsung and work at Best Buy, a lot of my coworkers use Samsung and most of the tech savvy customers are Android users, also Google pay works better than Samsung pay here never had any issues with Google pay in Edmonton at least
Most poor people do use androids, it is the #1 phone choice of burger flippers, janitors, and now Best Buy workers.
no tech saavy person that earns decent money is using any Andoid. that is hilarious.
Just made the switch too. I really like the S24 alot better besides issues with group messages with iPhone users.
Glad to see you making the right decision
How come your what's app is pitch black white mine having it on dark mode is not so dark bit more like deep grey I would say ? Bte love the phone
I think I have a new WhatsApp UI that is in beta or something
@@valismind a ok man , great points on the video , I switched too from iPhone 13 Pro Max , still love the iPhone but the s24 ultra is amazing . For instagram I just made a home screen link from Samsung browser and it is actually like an app and silky smooth . I don’t get it why the web versions of the social apps are always much smoother on both systems btw , a droid and iOS .
Surely a good review. I am an android user just recently use iPhone as my second phone. For me I use google services on both phone so everything will be sync with no problem. Just yesterday bought tab s9+ instead of iPad as I want to sync with my android phone & my laptop windows using link to windows feature. Admittedly I am using the iPhone just to wear watch ultra 😂😂😂
Awesome insights! The AI features on that phone is a game changer
Not sure if was just the previous phones you had but with my Note 20 Ultra, I never had an issue with mobile payments. Actually the Note 20 Ultra was better in some ways because it had MST which was the older technology that allowed my Samsung Pay to work on older machines that didn't have NFC payment terminals. I shocked cashiers when they said we don't accept Apple pay. I tapped and it just worked.
I am also planing to shift from Apple ecosystem to Samsung after 10 years. I have s24 ultra with me for last couple of days but I still to put my sim in it.
Try the A55 too…..
What a refreshing change and such a great video explaining that it's fairly easy to switch especially now with the S24 Ultra, I live in the UK and my friend has switch to S24 ultra it's not really an issue in the UK, what made me switch from i-phone to Samsung along time ago i-phone 8 to galaxy s10+ was apple's attitude they kinda dictate to their customers that apple knows better than them what's best there's no where near as much customization on apple and now Samsung has their own Eco-System seamlessly integrating between s24 ultra and tab s9+ and my galaxy book 2
i just did the exact contrary and for socials apple is way better. I also knew what I've lost with this switch but stability for me is a game changer
….but he will say that only influencers care about social apps…lol.
yeah iphone 15 pro max i had alwyse bad reception and couldnt deal with it so i returned and got s24 ultra and never looked back
It’s your phone carrier not Apple
@@callmeNeno both my s24 ultra and 15pro max were used same carrier
@@zappsoimilksure they did…. It’s your story, tell it the way you want to.
I was an apple user for last 7+ years. Now have switched to S24U and I am pleasantly surprised. Apple somehow dumbs down the user and incremental benefit each passing year has been non-existent. I just love the S Pen.. take drawing lessons using the same.
And after two weeks u want to go back to Apple.. It's always the same ritual with people..
Switched to the z fold 5 after being a lifetime ios user and couldn't be happier
@@brendanfogel4573 And over one month your gonna say the reverse... It's just so obvious how people are thinking..
Who hurt you bruh 😅 @@Tha-King-Arthur
@@karthiknarayanan3705 Just mark his channel. I bet he will buy the Iphone 15 again and making a video about it haha..
I just found this video and I can relate. I have been back and forth also and I find that iOS lacks in some areas and excel in others mostly due to the ecosystem. I do have Macs and iPads but I don't use them for the ecosystem. I have Macs because I am not very Windows and leave it at that. As for the devices, I find that Android particularly s23 Ultra now, is very nice to look at and intuitive as well and works better in my vehicle where I spend most of my time. But I also have the dilemma of the Apple Watch. I like the watch because it works better and gives me the info I need for workouts and easier to operate during a workout like changing music or setting multiple timers. The galaxy watch 5 just did not do for me. For the longest time I have tried to choose one or the other, they make it very difficult to do. However recent events with iOS in my vehicle makes me realize that my android is the one that I want when I leave the house for anything other than going to the gym.
I agree with everyone you said 100% Great review.
much appreciated :)
Yes you did a great job one of the reasons I've subscribed to you. You clearly explain the reason why you switched. Your not doing what I feel many tech UA-camrs do. Heavily biased opinionated reviews. That makes for a good tech UA-cam channel.
Awesome videos sorry I’m soo late
There is a minority of smartphone users who are "power users" like yourself. For them, Android may indeed be a superior tool.
However, the vast majority of smartphone users are "casual users" like myself. The differences between Android and iPhone are no big deal. I was a OnePlus One user for 9 years until the phone died. Then I decided to give the iPhone 15 a shot, just because. I've not had any significant issues with the switch.
At the end of the day for casual users, both Android and iPhone provide very similar basic functionality and capabilities. Messaging. Photography. Internet browsing. Apps.
Casual users don't spend a lot of effort at customisation. Casual users don't spend a lot time editing on their phones. Either Android or iPhone will be fine with them.
I’m really looking at an android phone. I was interested in the Z fold 5, Pixel Pro 8 or the S24 Ultra. You made my mind up to stay with Apple. Loosing Apple Pay! Nope use it too much.
Ppl make it a lot more complicated than it really is to switch between ecosystems. Yes the backup process can be tedious and the worst part is having to actually set it up and log in to your apps. The rest is pretty straight forward like figuring out couple menus and gestures.
Honestly, now that everything I have is backed up to 3rd party services it makes it so easy to move to and from. One thing people overlook when sticking themselves into any ecosystem.
6:50 I’m dying over here😂😂😂 the Google Assistant kept picking up what you were saying. Then would try to do a Google search 😂🤣😭
I"ve been going between iPhone and Android for several years now. They have always been fairly equal as far as I am concerned but now it's different. A few months ago I replaced my iPhone 12 Pro Max with the S24 Ultra instead of an iPhone 15 and I have really been enjoying it. I have one foot in each world - I have a Mac as my desktop PC, a Windows machine for gaming, my S24U for my phone, and an iPad for tablet stuff, and everything works perfectly well together. I got my wife and kids to switch to WhatsApp for messaging and they love it. Honestly I wish we had done it sooner. Google photos replaces iPhoto, NearDrop and Snapdrop replace AirDrop, and all is well in the world. The only thing I am missing is that my Apple Watch will not work with Android but that's it. I think I'll be sticking with Android for the forseeable future.
I've had the same phone for 5 years. After I swap the battery, I hope to keep it for another 5.
It’s strange here in Scotland, despite Apple probably being the most popular, iMessage or FaceTime are rarely used, most people use WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger. Again when I used Android I used Google Pay and not Samsung Pay, never had any issues with Google Pay whatsoever.
I switched to android last year with a Pixel 7 and I love it, but I do want to go back... mainly because I want to get a macbook air and those apple watches sure look nice.
My favorite thing about switching to Android was the very noticeable amount of time I stopped using my phone. I abused the hell out of my iPhone 8 mainly with nonsense games, with android for some reason... none of that. Everything on my Pixel works just fine except for Bleacher Report. Its an app I use quite a bit while watching basketball games and getting into it with people in the live chat. It's horrible on Android. Everything else is fine. I love how clean it looks too... maybe I'll stay for a bit.
I used Snapchat three years ago and decided to swap from iPhone to Samsung S21 ultra and I remember the experience with Snapchat being straight up terrible. Honestly, Instagram wasn't any better. I think the S21 was the year when Samsung said to begin developing social media apps but the experience wasn't there just yet. I wonder how would my experience be like now with S24 phones. I don't use Snapchat anymore and I barely use any social media apart from reddit and youtube.
this video helped me make the decision to stay with Android...thanks!
yeah i heard that in America, people don't really use whatsapp, which is weird to me as most people in Europe use whatsapp. But intertesting thing to know
Very cleverly done.
In this video, you’ve already laid down the groundwork for your switch back to the iPhone.
Willing to bet good money on your going back to the iPhone.
? Conspiracy theory much lol, I don't have any interest in going back - will review it, but not switching, that's 100%.
The comment at 7.45 naild it! 😊
One thing I want to mention is that it's possible to get imessage on your s24 ultra. I've been using imessage on my s23 ultra for a long time
Dude your nails looked sick in that first shot
Thinking of changing back to Samsung after 2.5 years of iPhone. Thanks for the info
In the Android keyboard you could display permanently the row of numbers 😊 (Google keyboard, Samsung must be similar)
I switched last year with the S23 Ultra and have zero regrets. I currently have the pixel 8 pro, OnePlus 12 and the S24 Ultra. They've kind of amassed over the past few months lol. I don't miss iMessage at all, WhatsApp is every bit as good
how about google pixle why not choosing that?
2:32 here in Europe this whole Messaging/ iMessage thing was never a big one because after using SMS back in the days, the vast majority, over 90% of the people, switched to Whatsapp ( and Telegram ). No one of my friends and family, not a single person, uses „normal“ Messaging- but everyone uses Whatsapp. Thats, i think one of the cultural differences 😉. Btw, i am new to your channel, i like your videos, great work, keep going! Greetings from 🇩🇪 to 🇨🇦
3:17 how precisely is RCS more secure than iMessage? What? as far as I’m aware, Apple iMessage and Signal messenger are the only two messaging platforms that offer quantum safe and end encryption. Googles implementation of RCS is not that. It is encrypted, but I don’t think it’s more secure than iMessage.
I'm trying to switch bc I prefer the form factor an premiun feel but skin tones and 24mp detail keep me on iphone 15 pro 😢
Skin tones on Samsung >
the shitty thing when you swap from iphone to android is that you wont receive any messages from an iphone usesr, unless who has an iphone needs to change imessage to sms in settings that suppose to be by default it's very annoying thing !!
Quick share exists on PC, which works with sending files to and from Android phones
I am late to the party for the Google Messages for web. That has been a huge help for me. It allows me to put my phone screen down while working and I become more productive.
Same, I use it all the time now. For the same reasons, it's actually been a game changer.
If it wasn't for the price i woudl go fro an ultra, I have a S 22 which didn't liek much I did geta Pixel 7 which i loved but I need a bigger screen because of my eye issue, i did get Flip 5 which very ncie phone but i do want to either get a S24 Ultra or a Pixel Pro 9 when ti come out, i just need bigger phone for em now, just wish the price was not so much to get this.
for smb who is not from the use or Canada to hear that all life smb was on iPhone , and all his friends are on iPhone, is so weird, why do people limit themselves like that? why can't you use messengers instead of iMessages? isn't it pretty boring to use all the time the same phone?
I don't see the need to upgrade just yet from the s22 ultra, it still performs great, battery could be better but can definitely stick it out until the s25
I waited and waited for price drop in 2022, so my contract runs out this July. The price should have dropped again for the S24 ultra, so I'll be going from S22 ultra to S24 ultra.
The S22 Ultra is what got me into this whole shebang, and it's actually such a good phone. Just didn't realize it too much at the time!
S24 Ultra has the best battery in a Samsung phone. Especially with the recent updates which Samsung is good at. You can never go wrong with S24 Ultra.
Yea pretty much google messages is almost like imessage for android esp when videos are clear between androids n texting is cool too
Yeah I love Google Messages, scheduling texts is also a really good tool. - It's great for when you think of something late at night but don't want to bother the person you're sending the message to.
@@valismind I didn't know you can schedule a text to someone might try that out
04:35 you can import photos directly from iCloud to Google Photos when signed in with desktop.
Good to know - thanks for sharing! I did find it to be very easy with the app though.
No thank you Google’s business Model sucks

I've never used an iPhone and I always wondered why everyone was always talking about how they couldn't live without Airdrop. In the Android ecosystem, I couldn't understand why it was needed or couldn't think of a scenario where I would need it. But after hearing your explanation with Google photos and not needing Airdrop, it makes a lot more sense why you would need it on an iPhone. On Android, everything is available in the cloud, instantaneously. Android does have it's own version with Quickshare and it is nice to have, if needed. I just don't see that many reasons I would need it.
I've noticed a frustrating trend with Samsung devices where updates are subject to the whims of cell providers. As a fan of the Note lineup, it was disheartening to experience only two years of OS support with my Note 9, which was the final straw for me (improvements have been made since that time).
In contrast, Apple's control over iOS updates means I don't have to deal with carrier approval or rollout delays. Updates are universally available for download, regardless of location, ensuring a seamless experience.
While I acknowledge that Apple devices may lack some of the cutting-edge features found in Android devices, I appreciate their simplicity and ease of use.
One quick suggestion, whenever you're in same wifi network, you can use KDE connect for connecting phone and pc, it's better than apple's integration. Trust me!
In the UK people don't use imessage or facetious, we WhatsApp instead
speak for yourself, whatsapp and facebook both suck
Why do i feel like at times,my 24 ultra felt like its not as smooth. There are times its gonna be super ultra smooth, then suddenly I caN feel like its just around 90hz
. Any idea and help?
It's a adaptive refresh rate.
Also not all apps support 120hz, doesn't matter if you use Samsung or Apple.
modo ahorro de bateria? limita la pantalla a 60Hz aunque puedes modificarlo para que se mantenga en 120Hz aun en modo ahorro de bateria
@@brotherhoodofsteel3090 you dont understand me, i know its adaptive.. my issue is, there are times my 24U is suler smooth, then at times I feel like its not as smooth, im doing basic things like scrolling the app drawer..
@FrancisSyCoCo Did you make your galaxy so you can view developer options in settings? If you didn't then it's hidden. Once it's not, you can go inside and make things a bit faster like the animations.. The default is not as quick as .5 You'll understand if you look it up and once you do it. You'll see a mass of difference.
Bruh is it me or your TV responded to your voice when you said "Google-"🤣 ?
RCS is coming to iPhones this year tho so it should make it easier for us Android users to not get judged for using what we want
This! iPhone announced that they will be supporting RCS in the next major iOS 18 update.

I moved from being an iPhone user since day 1 to android, I got the S24 Ultra and it is a great phone packed with a lot of AI features, super customizable OS and fun to use. BTW, jumping from iOS to android is easy for most of us geeks, probably not that simple for the regular iphone user...
I went from Samsung note 8 to iphone 2020se and now a iphone 13 pro max . I want to go back to android apple quit innovating years ago. Simple things like a number row and symbols aren't on the keyboard. To change any settings you have to back out of the app open system settings and find the app to make changes. Almost no customization. If you want to text him, you either have to go through a labor process to make your own or you have to pay for one.
I definitely agree I'm so glad i switched to the s24 ultra i got tired of apple consistency of updates and it had way to many bugs and it destroyed my last iPhone so im officially done with apple never goin back
I switched from an iPhone to S24 Ultra But there were never any bugs or glitches when I had an iphone for over 15 years.. So that's weird.
@bmorg5190 I had a iPhone 15 plus from att it was glitching so bad I took it to geek squad at bestbuy and they hooked it up to there computer and found all kind of problems and att gave me the run arounds they played games at my expense ended up canceling out my account claiming it was fraud when trying to do an exchange for a new device they completely screwed me over and I was still within my 14 days and then they wouldn't even give me my money back so I cussed them out and everything and I signed up with T-Mobile on April first and got my new galaxy s24 ultra and i haven't had any problems sense atp it made me not ever wanna go back to apple I'm good and samsung is better to and your right it was very weird
My first smartphone was a Nokia Windows phone which I used until I found out they were going to stop making them. To help me choose between Apple and Android I asked people what they didn't like about their phone. My first Android was a Samsung Galaxy Lite and one day out walking I saw one of my carrier's stores and went in. While waiting for the clerk I started looking at LG phones and ended up switching smartphone brands. Through the years I've used mostly LG phones including their non-smartphones. Last year, 2023, I got my second Galaxy phone and found it to be a disappointment compared to the first one I used. Some of the features I enjoyed using on Samsung have been removed.🤦🏽♂️
