I was under the impression that UGREEN sucks balls.
@@achecase why so? I have Ugreen usb-c hub and it's great, the build quality is very good, it feels like a high quality product, I also have Satechi hub and I like Ugreen better.
So you're living in Romania? Cherios!
What kind of watch is that you're rockin'?
You have Schuko Plugs in Australia?🇦🇺 Did not know that.
Android user here. Forced to use an iphone for work. It's been more than a year and I still don't know how people can stand it. Everything feels so counter-intuitive and counter-productive.
It was never meant to be productive but just using for longer duration for ad. if apple wanted its people to be productive, then it wouldn't also create numbers over excel. Think of that for a second.
@@DeyTurkErJErbsalso add the fact the keyboard doesn't allow you to put a number row
Did your company give you an iphone or you have to buy one yourself
@@shadowwsk3507 the company provided it. i'd never buy one myself unless absolutely forced to.
Same here man, started at the job I have now exactly in January 2023, so it's been a year.. I got the iPhone SE (didn't get a choice) and man what a terrible experience, I really hate that thing. It's a paperweight when I am working from home and I told people to contact me on my private phone number if they need me. I've tried also the higher models like the 14 Pro and Pro Max and it's still a way worse experience than my android phone
You're one of the few mainstream UA-camrs that are actually aware of libre software and privacy concerns around operating systems
Ya he's delusional.
@@Lord_LindaThePhilosopher Nothing he said in here is untrue. Maybe the vaguely subjective "stuff is nicer" on iPhone... because if he bought a $1200 Android flagship and ran it stock, it'd have about all the same apps and a much nicer screen.
How refreshing, right?
@@Lord_LindaThePhilosopher Dude sh*t up
Bros an aplle stan
Most of the "issues" you mentioned for Android are not Android issues. They're GrapheneOS issues.
What issues???
@@marcusfleuti2672 Watch the video
Tech UA-camrs not just trying Android, but going straight to a privacy-concious custom ROM and then actually liking it and sticking to it, that is just amazing. I love everything about that.
Next step, donating to GrapheneOS project.
Count down to return to iPhone is over. He's back on iPhone. 😅
@@zt9233 nooooooooo
but duh Google never will get into my bank and steal my money... why rely on a third-party software like Graphen OS which may not have all security features and might be breached by hackers?? If you care about being spied on by the maker of the phone.. don't have a phone! even the iPhone spies on you to lock you on their ecosystem
You know what I like? Sideloading APKs. I can have any app I want.
And any virus
@@Sonycam96 do you use a laptop? Where do you download softwares?
@@Sonycam96 just dont be dumb?
@@leviandhiro3596 I use a banana and wire, but galvanized.
@@viainfindashorts If someone is dumb I just recomend iPhone, to protect their selves from them
I am using custom roms for more than 8 years. The fun of it and showing middle finger to google and other data vampires is so satisfying.
Be careful with custom ROMs. You never know what crapware/malware the builder might include. While custom ROM might look cool, fast, etc. I wouldn't install my banking apps on it.
You still give them data regardless, and nomatter if you create it from the ground, as long as it uses internet no matter how open source it is, data will be recollected.
@GrapheneOS is free and open source.
If you're on the internet they have data on you regardless of what you use. However you don't get ads and they cannot see everything. But where there's a connection NSA has stooges wire tapping and gathering every data regardless of who you are or what you use. That's how the USA spies on it's enemies around the world and why China stays off the grid for the most part.
@@extreme123dzbut data will be spread, no one company can access whole data which is serious issue
I use multi-window a lot. I would be beyond annoyed switching back and forth between apps on iPhone. This is very handy when referencing something from one app, while working in another.
@@AnonymityA I remember using my Samsung Galaxy S5 and it having multi window support. I used the feature a lot during covid where I did most of my work via phone while my PC was dead. It's incredibly useful
I barely use multi-window because
One: Hard to activate
Two: Forgot about it because of earlier
@@pacomatic9833 having to go to the past used apps screen thing for it is way more annoying than just clicking the page and moving it yeah.
Yesss, split screen is an absolute god send.
I switched to Android and will never be held hostage to the Apple ecosystem ever again.
I siwtched to android because of the cost/benefit ratio. Just wasn't worth it, even when buying used iphones. I've used the same $100 android phone for years now (that includes the cost of the case & the phone itself, btw). Haven't even had the screen crack even once. Got all the features/functions I want in a phone, for a tiny fraction of the cost.
Plus I refuse to give up my headphone jack. Today's iphones don't have all the features I need in a smartphone, they don't have headphone jacks. Plenty of andriods include headphone jacks.
@@jacqslabzalso sd card slots.. i hoped flagship samsung devices still got it but they abondon it. İ cannot get used to have an dongle
"held hostage" you say? So well "held hostage" that you switched to another device and.... ta da?
So you was just dumb aren't you? You know you can get a lot of alternatives App stores in iPhone with and without PC necessary? Did you know you can download and install apps from email or whatsoever same like In Android? End in the end did you ever even heard you can customise everything in IPhone to if you have at least 1IQ? 😂😂😂 Interesting how they was holding you down and gated? It's just yourself who heard some crap and couldn't connect your phone to computer 😂
Welcome to getting assr*ped a little less, but getting alot more pleasure out of it lmaoo.. Because even tho Android rags on Apple, they're not any better, they'll still pull the same bullshit if Apple gets away with it.... which let's face it, is always with the Apple sheeple.
I really appreciate this video. Sam knows what he is talking about, and isn't afraid to rag on both devices.
I loved using graphene OS, that was until all my apps I used at work locked me out for having a "rooted system."
Try a Xiaomi phone (they allow you to root out the box) you root it set it up the way you want then unroot / lock it. Got past all my security and banking apps no problem. Alternatively I'd just say sorry I can use the app due to security reasons. Half they time "they" / those apps are the security issue.
Get a separate phone for work apps. There are a lot reasons, privacy, tracking, etc!
Ye
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think Magisk has a feature where you can stop apps from detecting root access
@@MiteBlueRubydoes it work on every rooted device?
Isn't it a hit or a miss?
This might come off as cringey but your humour has gotten me through some tough times. Even if it was just to distract myself from the pain. Thank you for your effort , it helps people who need it. Thank you guys for being here.
Nice thumbnail btw 😂😂😂
Not cringey. Not alone my friend. This reminds me when "That 70s Show" "Two and half men" and "Big Bang Theory" helped me go through tough times.
@@nene71286 I was watching Big Bang Theory right now and i got the notification for your reply!!!
Not cringe. And, you shouldn't worry about being cringe. Who cares. You do you.

You can directly send files over bluetooth on android if you're not on the same network.
he was talking about sending them android->iphone and iphone->android. I don't know why but iphones don't find androind phones via bluetooth to send/receive files.
@@Quessen iPhone does that, just only for contacts
@@doca989 could've guess that apple will "invent" some dumb shit with sending files over BT...
That iPhone users often stick with iPhone out of embarrassment from other iPhone users commenting if they change...says a lot about iPhone users, and none of it is good.
Welcome to Android! I'm sure you'll love the freedom of choice that comes with it :)
BTW for the notifications you don't want Android has notification control to allow you to set per app toggles. (there should be plenty of youtube guides out there)
I can't like and recommend this suggestion more.
Exactly what I came to the comment section for.... Thought it was odd he never just disabled the annoying notifications. When selecting the physical notification, it normally takes you straight to the settings to change it to silent/popup/notify etc 🤔
Unlike Apple.
@@JacksonCampbell
…iPhones do that too come on now
Yes I was just thinking that during that part of the video
The last thing I was expecting was a serious well-thought out review instead of a parody! Dammit, that was an excellent and reasoned presentation. :)
Thanks so much for such a rational and non-hysterical comparison of android and iOS ! As an apple user who hasn’t switched due to pure laziness, I personally have just never felt that the differences between the systems warranted all the effort to switch. I’m not prejudiced; I hate everyone equally.
Again, many thanks for your very entertaining and funny videos!~~ wishing you continued success!
You might wanna look into getting a Samsung if you wanna switch in the future, their phones have a feature to import your data directly from an iPhone on setup. Not sure if other phone brand have this too, I'm only aware of Samsung having it at the moment.
@@reinardharmse4375 A good number of the reasons that I avoid buying apple products also apply to samsung so I generally pick another maker. Intentional uncooperativeness with the rest of the Android works doesn't really make me want to support them
@@reinardharmse4375Xiaomi, Nothing, Realme, And The Google Pixel are All better than Samsung.
@@reinardharmse4375It's called Smart Switch 😊
@@davidy22 Thank god. Exactly what I think. What do you think about the Pixel devices or Nothing? They are both great for iPhone users provinding a great UI and hardware design. And you can get both for great prices.
Two things that keep me on android:
- Back button
- Customized homescreen
Welcome to the team!
Each iPhone user who switched is another person who's saved from the apple black hole
Yup
I'm a gamer and couldn't care any less for the camera and when I switched to Red Magic 9 Pro Plus, it was one of the best decisions of my life.
But i bought s23 ultra.. amd now i have 15 pro max again
They both have their good and bad points.
I'm pretty sure more Android users switch to iPhone 😅
Idk if it makes any sense but this video was very nice and comforting to watch? It weirdly put a smile on my face. I don't know why. It might be the fact that you didn't just go straight to a flagship Android and went for a privacy-centric route with GrapheneOS. I sound like a weirdo rn.
👍👍👍 everybody a nerd up in here, a safehaven 😂
Still weird to chose Pixel for security. Nice that you can put software that promises safety on top of the device, but what's it worth if you can't trust the device...
@@ThePlaceholewhat do u mean cant trust the device?
@@ThePlacehole Pixel uses the Titan security chip. Which has the best security out of any other android phone ironically.
Graphene is actually available for the Pixel 8 pro. So I'm not sure why he went for the lowest end model 3 generations old.
Happy holidays Sam! I switched from an iPhone 13 Pro to a Pixel 8 this year and so far I'm loving it. I've been using iPhones for over a decade since the iPhone 5.
Hey, thanks so much Jire! Yeah, I might end up getting the Pixel 7 Pro at some stage. Mainly because I want the green and gold one 😂. Happy holidays!
@@SAMTIMEGood reply ..you must be the only in this world who doesn't need help...😂😅....l think 😉
I am seriously considering to make the switch. Apple’s Greed has surpassed to a brand new level.
@@rafandersson4187and the whole AR stuff
you know someone is hard up for cash when they announce they're moving to Android.
All through middle school I was bullied for having a galaxy s6 edge it led to the point to where I gave in and bought an iphone. the battery died really fast, the operating system made me frustrated all the time, and I hated not being able to sideload. I switched back to android and im definitely not switching back
whole point of having an Iphone; just to showoff
bullying someone just because they don't have an iphone is so hopeless
I thought everyone is supposed to be polite af in murica
What? The S7 Edge is better than all I've ever had! In my highschool almost everyone had android. Crazy that somebody would make fun of you for that!
Apple Cult Fan boys are the WORST !!
started with iPhone mainly because we got one cheap second hand, but a main motivator to switch to Android was also just being locked into the small storage of iPhones, haha.
As for customizability, don't forget you can also replace your home screen - it's just an app, after all. I'm using Total Launcher and spent a couple months dragging, dropping, and resizing stuff by hand for a fully customized and compact UI. It's inspired by Star Trek LCARS, but otherwise, totally original.
I personally use KISS. It's not for everyone, but I like it
I’m confused. iPhones have storage up to one terabyte! Most androids don’t.
My first smartphone about 11-12 years ago was an iPhone because that was the cool thing among my group of friends. The salesman was trying to convince me to get an android even though he would get less commission. After I went through 3 iPhones in 2 years (they kept dying inexplicably) I finally went Android and haven't looked back since.
@@SaveTheInsects_Team True, but notice their concern was being "locked" into the storage amount. I don't know of any iPhone model that ever allowed expandable storage. And to upgrade to a higher storage tier is a ridiculously high price. But nowadays, the truth is that expandable storage is all but disappearing on Android as well.
@@BiffaloBuff893 very true! I guess, depending on how long ago, the original commentor had the experience, you’re probably right.
I was just gonna suggest installing a custom ROM for a pixel phone like GrapheneOS but you were way ahead of me! Welcome to the dark side
I guess it's more like light side 😂
Good thing the sun will come around in 12 hours and then it is the light side.
Congrats on 300k Sam been here for so long I hope to see you reach 1mil in no time you really deserve it.
Stay safe man and keep up the bangers. :-)
I hate that phones today can be used as slippers for children ..
I am now rocking Galaxy S23+. I switched to Android from iPhone in March 2022. Leave the Apple ecosystem was easy tbh. Marry Christmas from Czechia 🇨🇿🥳🥳
Which do you prefer now?? Is it worth the switch? And which phones are preferred in Europe in general?
@@dushyanthatti1 I Europe many people use iPhones. But Androids are still common especially Samsungs. We do not care what phone othes use. And with texting, for that we have whatsapp or instagram dms and older people still have Facebook and its Messenger for it. So we don’t care about iMessage. I must say the switch can be wort it, even when you will go back one day. Yes I am on iPhone. With 15 Pro. I would say it is really comparible phone to the S23 and S24. Someting is better, someting not. The reason to switch mostly were Apple watche.
@@dushyanthatti1 In Europe, statistics show that in many countries people preffer iPhones. But Samsungs are common too. In general we do not care what you use. And we do not shit about iMessage, we just text via WhatsApp or Instagram. I would say the switch was worth. I am back on iPhone must say. 15 Pro currently. But the reason was mostly because of the Apple Watch. I started to care about my health more, I have started working out. And the Apple Watch are king in its category. They give me the most data I need.
@@Patrikch100 it's same here for messaging in India. Was an iPhone user iPhone 13. Recently switched to S24 base model. Just been 2-3 days. Let's see how this phone does. Camera wise I think iPhone is just a step further or maybe it looked better on their screen. Wanted to try something new so went.
@@dushyanthatti1 I love the S23 Ultra. Best experience i ever had. It just feels right. Never apple again. Most Europeans liked in the past Nokia and now most like Samsung phones. Samsung has a marketshare of 36% in Europe. I am a photographer. I study the quality of photos. Its true that the newest apple does some pictures and especially some videos better than the s23U but in some situation i found out that Samsung makes much better photos.
I also moved back to android like 3 days ago after being an iphone user for 5 years. The Nothing Phone 1 is my new home, and I gotta say, its so nice being back on the Android side of things. One of the first things I did was sideload open source apps. The freedom is amazing!
They say nothing phone 2 is actually a good upgrade over 1 in contrast to new models of big ones like Samsung. İf you can, I recommend switching to that since u liked 1 you'll definitely like 2.
Try the samsung flagship too,you won’t be disappointed or even pixel etc…there are great android phones and so many options depending on your budget
@@alibozkuer5022I have nothing phone 2 in my opinion it's one of my best investment
Not only it provides flagship performance but also a great software experience,
The only issue is the camera, it's not the best camera in $499 price range but if u ignore that everything is top notch:)
@@Joker-yu5kp Samsung. Defenitely not. They did a great choice with the NP 1. Pixel is also quite nice. Samsung just has similar issues that iPhones have. Would not make sense in his case. I would even argue they have even more issues but that's besides the point.
This was eye opening. Thank you for showing us the Graphene thing. I'll consider it next time I'm upgrading.
You can hold the specific notification you don't want to see (for example, the "up to date" one) and only turn off that one. And most apps on android give you choice like that.
Can we expect Sam switching to Linux on his computers in a year or so? :P
he already made a video of asahi linux on his mac
i'd rather him install PostmarketOS on that Pixel
@@zeta_eclipseIt was a terrible experience though.
Maybe now that Fedora offers an Asahi supported version it might be worth a shot again, but the only device drivers I saw work were camera and speakers. Lets hope they improve.
@@zeta_eclipse Yes, but not as a daily driver, but rather as an experiment?
@SAMTIME Don't worry about searching for different places to use back gesture. Android back gesture is streamlined unlike Apple (which is different for each app) and you can use it the same way across all apps.
Universal back button is sooooo nice. Apple users don't know what they're missing
@@AnonymityA Apple sheep here. I prefer Android gestures, from the brief time I used an S23U. Back gesture can be swiped from the left or the right, it's so comfortable. Much easier for a right hander to swipe from the right. iOS gestures are abysmal.
Disclaimers:
1. Graphene is not necessary, he just got it so he doesn't get google spyware
2. a lot of the cool customization stuff (and certain stuff that he mentioned was exclusive to graphene) is mainly on samsung's android version, specifically within the app "good lock".
3. most android users usually don't use open source apps, but it's great for privacy and security and if you're using root/superuser, unlocked bootloader, etc.
4. by 2050, apple will probably have to make ios open source because of europe, until they decide to just merge it with android and you don't have to worry about the walled garden anymore.
Sorry, but we'll never get to 4. You may as well just make closed source in general illegal at that point.
I used to consistantly buy flagship phones (iPhones, Blackberrys, Samsungs). The Note 9 was my last flagship phone. Since you can't change batteries any more, and the lack of updates (and when you do get an update, it might actually make your 1-2 year old device even worse) really makes the phone worse in the end rather than it actually breaking. I've never broken a phone. Now I'm on a Samsung Galaxy A52s 5g. It works. I use my phone for basic stuff. Maps, Whatsapp, email, listening to music and banking. I carry a full frame camera for photography and a nintendo switch for gaming on the go. So all I need is my phone to be a phone. Most midrangers are quite competent nowadays. Goodbye super expensive flagships!
Hey … you are in Romania, Timișoara to be exact. Nice to have you here
Open source, open mind.
I actually accidentally predicted the "6a" joke where you said "sexy". I'm not even kidding. I laughing so hard rn! 🤣
You can disable specific notification types, e.g. "everything up-to-date". Hold finger for a few seconds over an app icon (the Play Store, in this case) to pop up menu, then tap "App info" (i) button. Then tap on "Notifications". You can switch off specific categories - or just everything at once. I think the one you want to disable is called "Updates completed".
I have my notifications extremely fine-tuned for all apps. I only get notifications for things I actually care about.
Google Pixel 6 Pro here.
Previously had a Google Pixel 2 XL, and I didn't even feel the need to upgrade from a feature POV - I only did so for continued security updates.
Fold 4 user here welcome to the Robot team! I switched after the 5s came out and never looked back! Merry xmas hopw you continues to bless us with your hilarious videos in 2024
Flexing with your Fold? lol Don't they cost like 2000 quids?
@@raylopez99why would I do that? lol, yeah but I bought it at a discount price ofc
I switched to Pixel 6 from the iPhone 11 ~3 years ago and the only disadvantage I noticed is camera quality.
I fancy having control over all the possible privacy settings.
As for the headphones -- Airpods Pro with type C work perfectly fine with android.
Also, I can use my phone as a wireless charger for the headphones.
😊
Meanwhile the Pixel 6a won the best camera award in MKBHD test Beating the iPhone 13 Pro Max & galaxy devices
@@ElvisChibundui guess OP takes more videos than photos, where their statement is then true.
@@ElvisChibundu I think that is because it was using the standard Google Camera app that came with the phone. Much of the strength of the Pixel camera is due software and Google post-processing of the photos. GrapheneOS does not have the Google camera app installed by default.
But if you really needed it, you could create a separate user (as Sam did for Google Maps) without compromising the privacy and security of your default user.
The pixel camera is better though. Only the iphone 15 cameras have ever beaten a pixel
Google needs time for a good photo. Hold the camera steady, take a few shots etc. apple is point and shoot.
Yes! Another customer freed from apple's money sucking stores
How are they money sucking if phones are less expensive and last longer then any other phone 😂 they are usable for over 8 years ,while there isn’t a single android that is usable after 8 years 😂,most give up after 2 , Mac is same thing m1 air for 899 will outperform ANY windows pc for 899 😂
@@Tetrathegod Wouldn't have said it like you, but you aren't completely wrong...
Last year switch from iPhone to a Galaxy S21 and I'm not looking back, it's GREAT! I still have an iPad so I've not left iOS entirely behind but as a daily my Android phone is just so much nicer than my iPhone was.
It would be more interesting if he switched to a more modern phone like a pixel 8
Graphene OS
A pixel 6 isn't that old
He wants just graphene os,
Google can send a free pixel 8 phones if he just messages them.
Spanner
Its about the OS not the phone
Nice! Glad to see a real video like this with all the security stuff in mind. Those up to date nags must be a Graphene thing? Haven't seen that on regular stock Android.
Currently using a Galaxy S22 Ultra for about 5 months now. It's the best of both worlds, premium feel and camera like an iphone, and a lot of freedom/customization specially when using ONE UI and how much Good Lock offers for free. Also, the added bonus for productivity having a huge screen + S-Pen + Dex mode is awesome
I don't use GrapheneOS, but I do use LineageOS. The ability to put a different OS on a mobile device is one of my purchase criteria. All my previous Android phones have had an alternative OS put on them by me.
I'm using the exact same setup and hardware for near a year now, I love it. It's perfect for me. Welcome to the club 🎉
thank you for this review. notifications can be customized, usually apps would let you choose which ones you want otherwise you can turn off notificafions for apps that are spamming too many of them. if i am not mistaken there might also be an option for silent notifications that you when then check in notifications history. you might want to try lineage os if it supports your device.
Apple, the choice of men that make delicious coffee for their wives boyfriends XD
6:00... Buttons are my favourite thing... I find gestures just too slow... I use multitasking, I want the system to adapt to my usage, not the opposite... Even my keyboard is the SwiftKey and it is a tiny moved to the right and a tiny to the top with squared buttons and the right amount of feedback and damn I love it... Also clipboard is shared with the PC (MS please... I'm still waiting to any way to move my files to my PC without having to use Samba/SMB... Ps. Yeah, I know there is the share app from Google and Quick Share from Samsung, but A. Quick share just uses Intel... And I have an AMD laptop, B. Google uses Bluetooth to pair, and I don't want that extra step. C. Why can't I have a fast way to move my files at home...), also routines... (When Google removed Android Auto phone mode, I've just created a routine and et voila... Same as android auto when it connect to Bluetooth)
I’m curious to see Apple’s level of support for RCS before considering a switch.
I use a Xiaomi Redmi 9. I'm Brazilian and an iPhone here is a luxury product and Google doesn't sell Pixels here
Bro not funding his employer lol.
Just a general advice, due to the advertiement:
Dont use fast chargers for your devices! It deteriorates them much more quickly.
I've personally found LineageOS to be a great custom OS with long term software support (my original Pixel 1 can get Android 13!), if you want to try it in the future!
I'm currently running LineageOS on a Samsung Note 10.1 tablet from 2012, it doesn't run quite as reliably as I would like, but it has Android 12 and runs it surprisingly well for a device of that age. Only problem is that the system crashes occasionally, causing the device to reboot.
LineageOS doesn't have the security features that GrapheneOS has. Namely, relocking the bootloader and sandboxed Google Play.
The microG for LineageOS fork already has microG preinstalled & set up to get you a nice, unGoogled experience with less hassle.
Android has some features that iOS doesn't have. Over the years, Apple has added features to iOS that Android already has and has had for several years. Also, for Samsung Galaxy phones it can do some things better then iOS can. Android is much more customizable
Great video. Thanks! I currently still have my Pixel 7 256Gb and love it.
Finally a apple user understanding the beauty of all be it ' Android ' (graphenes OS) respectable
8:53 yep that is probably the best two sentence summary of switching between iOS and android I’ve heard.
As for me, I’ll stick with my iPhone 15 until it stops getting software support probably. And yes that means battery replacements which I do myself cause I feel no need to pay someone else to do something like that for me
Well, how do you open rear side of your smartphone cause some people say it locked down by HW signature? Even if you changed the battery it will have the same capacity as old one cause of HW signature or info is not true?
@@SSS-sz8mg most smartphones open the same way. Heat it up and gentle prying to lift either the screen or back glass off. As for the sofware pairing. You won’t be able to see the max capacity anymore but you will have the full capacity to charge back. The phone doesn’t manage that. What manages charge capacity is the bms board which is attached directly to he battery. The way max capacity report works is iOS checking the bms report
Not only is he not using a comparable model but this will probably get less and less true as time goes on as Android phones quality get better. However, I get it.
let's give Apple every text/dickpick, phone conversation and all our internet traffic EVER, is safe, the bilion corporation cares totally about your safety and privacy!
Left Apple as soon as they removed the headphone jack in 2016 and realized how free it felt being off the Apple ecosystem. I never went back =]
Been Android user for my whole life, recently switched to iPhone 15 Pro. I hate iOS, Android is so much better. My next phone will be Android again.
I use a Samsung Galaxy A51, which I chose mainly because it has decent specs and supports a microSD card. It also has a 3.5mm audio jack. Sadly, those are both things that many modern phones are doing away with.
I found your channel by one of your linux parodies. To be completely honest I excpected a gros misrepentation but it turned out to be shockingly accurate and hilarious. You really do have (at least some) experience with it it seems like. Cool to see an honest review about graphene os :)
Switched from an iPhone to a Pixel 6a earlier this year ahead of an overseas trip. $299 Australian outright, brand new and unlocked from Vodafone. Incredible phone, especially at that price. Fast, effective, camera takes decent photos and the Battery just doesn't quit - from 9 AM to midnight each day I was using it for taking photos and videos, calls and messages, and maps and navigation finding my way around the local rail network, and it never once dipped below 65%.
After 15 years with the iPhone (starting with the 3G in '08) I thought it would be a lot harder to make the switch, but once the contents were transferred and all the apps were downloaded and signed in, it was pretty simple overall.
Haven't installed a custom ROM onto it yet, but I'll probably go the Lineage or Graphene route at some point in the future.
Funny, I also switched to Graphene OS recently after using iPhones since 2009… Happy holidays!
I find iPhone users have no idea how the Android experience is, they just know it isn't iOS (which blows) and they are Apple zombies. Ex- iPhone user here, I haven;t looked back ever since I switched. BTW, The Pixel is the cheapest phone you can buy, the Galaxy phones are much more robust and polished so don't let that Pixel discourage you from trying other Android phones.
In case of Samsung only the S & Z series are polished & certain A series phones like A52s 5g. Else OneUI works like crap in other Samsung phones(u may not be able to recognise how crap it feels if u have used only Sammy & Pixel. But you will find differences in the overall smoothness of their UI in that case).
Research shows that android users are switching to iphones. I've always been an android user, can't believe how much I'm loving my first iphone this year.
@@noobishfingershahaha I like your humor!
@@ML-jk3sz People are different.
I also experienced people switching from iOS to Android instead of the opposite (switched back to iOS myself).
Although I can somewhat agree with you, I also think that some people just see Android as Samsung with too much tinkering and bad animations. And it's not completely wrong. Phones like the Nothing Phone and Pixel are becomming more and more popular because they actually contain a good Android ROM, polished and with easier access. Casual users just want that. A phone for texting, calling and maybe the camera and social media. It should just work. And the A Series isn't doing justice either. Helped with setting up an A phone. Took ages and I couldn't really make a Samsung account properly.
You CAN deal with the iOS problems. A Sideloading service for iOS costs around 15$ a year and customization can be done with Cowabunga Lite or with good Widget apps. The Shortcut app is useful for some Android features.
If those solutions aren't goo enough, iPhones really aren't for you. That's fine.
But note that people like the simplicity and easy nature of iPhones.
I did the same yesterday but from an iPhone 12 Pro Max to a pixel8 pro with grapheme os. Your video was helpful to me.
I disagree a bit about "everything just looks nicer on the iPhone" and would phrase it: "everything is a bit more dumbed down on iPhone, like it was made for a toddler who shouldn't have access to other parts of the app."
Granted that might just be because I'm mandated to use an Apple due to them duping so many companies into believing Apple is for work. Nothing like getting into an app and having zero way to get back to the main screen of that app aside from closing it. And getting phone updates every few days that require long installs and restarts, or having it refuse to NOT be on wifi and only allowing wifi to be turned off for 24 hours.... Ugh.
6a is a budget device whereas the 12 is a flagship. That's the reason you find the iPhone to be built better.
Yes. Compare an iPhone to an S23 Ultra, and build quality is a matter of preference.
6a is mid-range.
Also what he is actually talking about is the app experience. Which seriously is much better on iOS than it is on Android. Be it any Android.
pffft hahahahaha lol@@dragonforcegaming7555 found the delusional fanboi
app to app its a horse race between the 2 on app quality
often better on 1 except for when the app was never made for the other device at all.......
I do NOT find the app experience better on IOS....
i hated my IOS device with extreme passion when i had it due to gestures and other failings being horrible...
acting like a 13yr old ignorant pretentious princess wasnt worth paying double++ and staying tech stupid vs learning a few things and using android.
@@dragonforcegaming7555 Can the 12 be considered a flagship? Maybe. Is the 12 mini the mid-ranger then? hmmm
@@mr.cringe61 12 series entirely is flagship. Apple's naming is different compared to Android OEMs.
For pixel & Samsung, A series is affordable/mid-range(Sammy's A-series is horribly complex tho. A0x for budget,A1x for mid budget,A2x for upper budget,A3x for lower mid-range,A5x for Upper mid-range. And in SK they also have A7x series😵💫).
For Apple, it's the garbage SE series which is considered as Mid-range.
I use S20 FE.
Wish I could change my mobile but I don't have enough budget😢.
Love your videos😂❤ from: India
✌🏻
Fantastic phone 📱 s20 fe , premium chip inside and run smoothly 😊
Any phone that requires a case and doesn't have a headphone jack is unacceptable. No other word for it. I like my Nokia XR20; it's a proper phone.
He said “the only one thing I miss about iPhone is everything about iPhone.”
Dude, okay. Talking about “the only”and “every” in one sentence is not confusing enough.
Imagine someone said the only thing he eats is everything. The only thing he talk about is everything. 😂😂😂
I switched from Android to Apple about 5 years ago. It felt like I was jumping off a cliff into an unknown-but-probably-terrible fate. To my surprise, everything in iOS felt so much better and intuitive. I have considered switching back to Android, but then the thought of how terribly put together the entire Android experience is, I think (for now) I will stick to the well put together experience that is iOS. Android really has to clean its total experience up for me to make the jump back.
what phone did you have
@@IStMl I had the Samsung Galaxy s10
Samsung's version of Android is very bloated and user-unfriendly.
I recommend you give a shot to Pixels, they're basically iPhones with better UX and more features@@dharvell
Try a Pixel, so much more cohesive than an old Samsung...
Glad you're enjoying your time on the light side. 😉 If you miss the quality/smoothness of the iPhone I'd just get a newer and/or higher end pixel - e.g. a Pixel 8 or 7a.
iphone aint that smooth tbh, im using one and my dads phone is far more fluid and snappy
Even the Pixel 6 is noticeably more smooth than the 6A and most iPhones, due to its 90hz screen. Most non-pro iPhones use a 60hz screen, as does the Pixel 6A.
I've been an apple sheep for about 13 years. Recently switched to a Motorola edge+ 2023 and man, I'm loving it and probably won't ever look back 😂 i do plan on keeping my maxbook though, but im a huge fan of android!!!
Love your videos. The sarcasm you present is sweet. I'm a power user, been running on Red Magic 5G for 4 years and now I'm getting the Red Magic 9 Pro. Such a beast of powerhouse.
Man what the hell have you done to Google that you need so much security against them?
Imagine Google as Apple run by Donald Trump/Rishi Sunak/anyone with the larcenous instincts of a 6 year old. I know Apple has every piece of info about me, but it’s one source… and as far as I know they haven’t sold any PII.
It's called privacy man. You don't need to be a serial killer to be able to benefit from it
Always Android for me. I love being able to do so much with it.
like what?
@@steve9377 Like pirating games or songs or just any app you want to. Cmon, if you spent a lot on your phone, wouldn't you want it to give you service for free?
i actually switched to a google pixel 6 with grapheneOS on it just a month ago as well and i like it a lot. i was already using android before that and it just feels so good to know i'm not being tracked by google 24/7 anymore (for example even with location turned off they constantly try to figure out where you are via the cell phone towers your phone pings off of and they even know how you're moving because of the sensors in your phone)
The good thing about android is, you can find modified a Piquets of apps and services you like with the spyware removed. For example, you can get a modified EPK of WhatsApp that doesn’t track you.
I have a Samsung Note 20 Ultra. It is the last Samsung flagship that takes a micro SD. I already have 256GGB and with my 256GB card I have 512GB of storage. It has 12GB of RAM and the camera is still great. Can't see much point in upgrading (which would level this phone as little more than an alarm clock).
Why not use a current phone? The 6a is very old
It's 2nd hand. He said that he brought it just for experience sake.
@@dragonforcegaming7555 Well you can buy a Pixel 7 second hand, it cheap af
they say China just copy and don’t innovate. But actually China is the world’s biggest creative in terms of making up brand names. Like UGREEN
wait a minute ,did I just learn tech tips? I came here to laugh.
I'm also considering going the un-Google'd Android route for my next phone. I'm on a regular stock Samsung Galaxy phone now and I like it a lot, but it's an older phone (4+ years old now) and it's time to upgrade. I have considered the Apple route multiple times, but each time I just cannot justify the price to be locked into an ecosystem like that.
1,000 for a phone that will get slowed down right after the software doesn’t support it. I had a 7 and right after iOS 13 released (not supported by the 7) everything became unusable. Battery was dropping by 12 percent Just by unlocking the phone (81% battery health), phone would not unlock and was stuck in lock screen until power cycling this phone, and apps would not load. Now have a standard 11 and beside slightly small storage it has been decent. Battery life was much better before installing more apps. I was going from 3 days without charging to between half and a hole day. This is with the same battery health and less screen time.
an ecosystem for toddlers!
Welcome to Green bubble land SAM!
Whit WhatsApp and linear who care about the bubble!
I've not long got the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, and I have to say, it has to be one of the better phones I've used, if not the best. Everything about it is great.
I switched to iPhone about three months ago. Hands down the most problematic phone I’ve ever used… including a Pixel and Motorola.
I’ve considered switching to Android from iOS several times but never have. The OnePlus Open has me intrigued because of how well the crease is hidden compared to other folds. Personally, I just like how iOS looks compared to Android. I know there are iOS launchers out there that you can download. iOS for me has also been reliable for the most part. I had one major issue with my old iPhone 8+ which ended up boot looping on me. It’s going have to take Apple to screw up royally in order to get me to switch at this point.
You think the creast is bad that I hardly notice it but that ugly bathtub on the iphone screen is a eye sore shame on apple for putting it there for advertising on commercials
OnePlus Open is by far the most mature foldable device, nothing really comes close to it in foldables, strongly recommended!
A lot of foldables made after 2020 don't have crease issues. I think the only one that had the biggest issue was the Z-Flip. But the OnePlus Open, Motorola RAZR, and the newest Z-Flip and Z-Fold is a great choice! I've have my Motorola RAZR 5G for 3 1/2 years now, and I use it all the time. It's got a few scratches on the screen, but no creases, and no dead pixels or black spots. Works flawlessly.
I'm not stuck with one company I buy what I want and like not the same phone year after year
Welcome to the group. I'm a very stubborn Android user. You can ask my sister who I pester all the time for using iPhone. Very thrilled to find out that you are now in the group of Android users.
Leave the pestering to the iPhone users
Congrats on 300K Sam!
I find it comical how cringe people get over which brand they use. All of them are written off of Linux. Android has more customization and back end abilities where iphone is simplistic. I have always goten fustrated on apple products since the 80s but understand why people love it.
Glad you're enjoying the Pixel. As a developer, it was such a nightmare building an app for Android and the market share/piracy risk thing is such a big issue that I didn't bother building my app for Android, even though I was using a cross-platform framework.
You what now. It's way easier on Android. And you aren't forced to own a Mac and use their horrible horrible swift or xcode *shivers*
Making an Android app and uploading it is as simple as compiling it into a AAP or apk and just sharing or uploading that to the playstore. Also, one time fee. Not an overpriced subscription model. I've never once before heard anyone say it is easier to complete an app for iOS until now.
Also what privacy risk lol? You sound like one of those nuts that believe side loading is a security risk because google/apple can't get their paycheck from that.
Apple use "environmental" (Pb free) solder, which grows "whiskers" and shorts the motherboard costing you money but saving the world. Respect!!
The fact we can not trust 3rd party software and OS vendors because of spyware but we also can not trust Google or Huawei because of lack of privacy just makes me so depressed. Why there is not a single ecosystem that truly respect users privacy and can provide security against spyware. Apple claim to be the one company we can trust but we know they also do sell our data and other Linux based solution are just not reliable enough or can be trusted neither. Why is the world have to be so complicated I don't understand. We just need an OS, no bloat, no spyware and an App Store where apps do not have access to private data on our phone and possibly the phone where the OS runs cost less than a $1000. Is it too much to ask for?
Thats why GNOME and KDE are working hard on making Linux on mobile usable.
I think until then, Android Custom ROMs are the way because AOSP is trustworthy. And especially with the sandboxed Google Play GrapheneOS offers its quite usable.
I thought this was gonna be more satire but this was pretty good. Still love your satire though!!! The thing about Graphene is you can’t see the value, but it’s far superior in terms of privacy and security. You just need to understand how important that is and will be in the future. Most people are instant gratification types and don’t care about these things.
thank you for mentioning libre software
Not KDE Connect though, the core of an FOSS device ecosystem.
That was really useful. My next phone won't be an iPhone and you've helped me to feel much less "locked in"
First thing I was told, don't buy and Apple Phone and don't Buy a Google Phone.
Of course your apps arent polished if you install all this goofy shit
Tf are you talking about 💀
