FINALLY, a top tier reviewer who acknowledges the pro modes on the S22. They are very powerful tools and most reviewers don't even mention them. Good work as always.
iPhone called Pro but not having a Pro Mode, and everybody think it’s ok🤨👎🏿. Nope. I own a 13 Pro, it delivers great pictures it’s a Pro phone and i want to choose parameters like on my other Android smartphone. More reviewers should be honest about that and more Apple fanboy too
Even my $150 cheap phone has a pro mode which $1200 iphone doesn't have. But anyway if raw picture can give a better result, why bothered having one. Lmaoo
Also another thing to be said about Samsung's notification is that their is a notification history that you can turn off or on. So in case you accidentally swipe away at a notification you didn't want to clear, you can still go back and review it through the notification history.
I love how she talks about Android vs iOS. She's the only creator who reflects real world use case and perspective on how much easier,better, logical, user friendly and accessible it is to use Android instead of iOS.
@@RealJoseph123 If doing hand gymnastics to do basic tasks on a smartphone is called "objectively" better, I do fear for people and their blindness towards a brand which has lost it's identity with it's creator's death.
No she ain't Many do But iPhone has better more consistent media performance With a very bad lightning port for snail pace file transfer The galaxy has serious real world usage advantages But the iPhone is a refined user experience and media phone Major choice problems
@@TheSolidfoxhound It is a major problem just when Samsung and that spen were looking so good . What is your suggestion on combating that dismal lighting port junk transfer speed ?
One overlooked feature on Samsung is the ability to connect it to a TV or external monitor apart from Dex. You can use it as a media player when on the go in hotels to watch Netflix or UA-cam. With iPhone you won't have such option.
@@_Ace._ have you tried using gestures? Cause that's how I felt too and then I saw how quickly you can navigate your phone with it, I switched to gestures and it did change my mind
@Flonny yes iv used recent iPhones, so I gave it a go the buttons are faster in my opinion, back guesture on the right feels wrong like it should go forward but reaching to the far left is inconvenient. You also lose the swipe up to pay unless on the homesceen. I find it hard to believe it could be faster as the distance between the buttons are shorter and involves less movement by tapping.
@@Notyou560 you're actually wrong iPhone 14 have been in production longer 7months is not accurate and 7months in the phone industry is a huge leap believe it or not your looking at it 🤔 in a non tech savvy way seems as if your pushing for Apple when it's not about Apple or Samsung it's about an manufacturer having the laptop tech to upgrade to new wifi modems new camera sensors and such I am in the Industry so I know what am talking about example the iPhone 15 have been in progress probably from a year ago so when s23 series are released the iPhone 15 will probably be on pair or have more
I definitely like how she's very unbiased and considered a lot of features both phones have. The only thing missing to me when it comes to speed is that you can speed up the S22 ultra or almost any android at this point by going into the developer settings and drop the window animation, transition animation and animation duration to make the S22 super fast.
@@metanoia3824 Oh yeah? And then what about when you go in and change the processor speed to "maximum," which is two settings above the default setting? I suppose that changes nothing either, huh? If you're an Apple fanatic, that explains why you don't understand technology. As for the transition animation scale, the point of the commenter is that, when performing head to head tests against the iPhone, the S22U would be much faster in a real world UI navigation test, since it wouldn't take all that extra time with animations. Fortunately for dumb Apple people, Apple doesn't trust you to change any settings, so you don't have to worry about the possibility of any of these settings features, because you just do whatever Apple tells you because Apple knows best and Apple rightfully doesn't trust their customers to be able to make intelligent decisions on their own.
@@skankytrick funny😂. FYI I'm an android user ever since and "ALREADY PLANNING" to switch to iPhone because I know how android works and its limitations. The commenter pointed out about adjusting the animation speed not the processor speed lol. And I've been to flashing custom roms maybe before you were even born don't lecture me about processor speed lol. With regards to setting the processing speed to max, if ever that option is available in developers settings, it means overclocking the cpu which could heat up the phone and eats up a lot of battery. too much heat could kill your phone specially the battery. One of the reasons why it's not enabled by default. Also if that's the case then it would mean Android would have to do overclocking just to keep up with Apple's processing speed😂. Transition animations alone should not be counted when comparing phone speed. We have benchmark test results that shows valid data lol. And yes there are so many user customizations that could be done in android compared to iPhone but do you really think all of them will be used specially by ordinary users? Most of them don't know they even existed Lol. comparing these operating systems is like choosing between quantity and quality lol. PS: Android has so many background pocesses that slows down the phone and eats up a lot of battery. I really can't see Android beat apple in terms of speed because of the difference in architecture 🤣 sorry but it hurts at first specially to an android fan boy like u😂
That S Pen was the thing I started using Galaxy Note in 2011 and never ever used any other phone brand or series since then. Well, now Galaxy S22 Ultra has S Pen, so of course, I am using this phone now. It would not be be a lie if I say Galaxy Note saved me from glass cage.
I really love my Galaxy S22 Ultra and I think I'm going to keep it until the S24 is released. Ella is always fair and thorough in her comparison videos. Keep up the great work!
S22 Ultra is better 🥇. We can say that iPhone is better in Videos and Battery life but S22 Ultra is more flexible in Photos. When you see videos or movies, pleasure is better with S22 Ultra. It also adresses more people needs : Android give S22 Ultra easier connection to Windows laptop whatever the brand (Most people own Windows laptop). It's also more user friendly with features or specificities with Android like Android Back Gesture, A number row key to write text easier, Cloned App for both personnal and professional account, Multitasking with Split Screen. You can unlock your phone without a useless extra swipe, with fingerprint scanner, same for Samsung face unlock. Samsung OneUi is great. Samsung Ecosystem is good too with Galaxy Buds, Galaxy Tab, Galaxy Watch, Galaxy Book. Even if 4 years of OS Update/5 Years of Securtiy update is less than Apple, it's still amazing for most users : 5 years guarantee. Iphone 14 Pro is an amazing smartphone but S22 Ultra is more complete🥇.
Tell me you are a Samsung fanboy without telling me you are a Samsung fanboy lol ,imagine writing an essay with features that no one cares about like split screen on a phone just to make you happy because iPhone got more points on this video ,it is actually sad how fanboying so much jheez
"Iphone + Macbook == Android + Windows" Thank you for bringing this up. I've seen too many a reviewer who preaches about Apple's eco-system being better but they've been using a Samsung x Macbook combo to get to that conclusion!?
I always love your reviews because most of the time reviewers go for technical stuff and you relate to daily normal real-life use we might give these phones, thank you for sharing your thoughts with us!
Ella is the BEST electronics reviewer on UA-cam and I won't take no or any different suggestion for an answer. Always say what needs to be heard while keeping it simple.
I feel like most reviewers give a great review of the camera's in general, but fail to acknowledge that so many users these days use the camera app within other applications like snapchat, instagram, tik tok etc. This video was so close to perfect and I think if you just covered a final last topic on app optimisation and covered the differences with using social media apps, this would have been flawless. Still, an incredible review!!
The battery life can be a lot bigger than you think if you travel and spend all night out. In Disney last year my wife had to carry around a battery charger for her brand new S22+ phone as her phone drained early in the night while my very old and used iPhone XS Max easily lasted the entire time and beyond.
It must have blown you away Kavina as the Note 20 Ultra had quite poor battery life in comparison to many of today's devices. The S23 Ultra promises much better battery life in comparison but what it actually delivers is another thing; but even this at best will almost certainly fall short of the monster battery life on your 14PM.
Finally a review based on daily use not just focusing on camera all the time. This adds a lot of prospective for choosing ios vs android. I also feel that if u have been using android for a long time u would like to try ios and vice-versa
@@dawsonhenning2766 many changes can be made in that timeframe. The phone has been out 7 months beflre th other. It is enough time to pretty much think of everything they can to beat out the older phone.
@@dawsonhenning2766 The thing is, once Samsung launches its phone in Feb, Apple has a lot of timeframe to improve things and beat Samsung. Same cycle happens between September and Feb. That's to be fair we need to have another video S23 Ultra vs. IPhone 14 Pro Max. Yet, Apple boys would come and write the same exact comment. It's a cycle my friend. It's all about which brand you prefer
@@jz1607 Can say the same about the Samsung. They have plenty of time to innovate. Also, if they use this as an excuse, why? They can change their launch dates to give them an "edge" on apple.
Life pro tip: not only can you buy a phone case to prevent key scratches, you can also buy a key case! I bought one after one of my keys poked a hole in my pocket. Hindsight 20/20
Ella, thank you for another informative, balanced and professional comparison review. I have found little to switch from Samsung Galaxy series of smartphones over to Apple iPhone. In fact, for me I would be required to give up features that have become invaluable in my everyday professional and personal life. I do believe if I had started with Apple iPhone rather than a Samsung Galaxy S smartphone, I do not think I would switch to a Galaxy S smartphone. I say this because I believe a person does not miss what they do not have when it comes to tech features if all other things are equal or competitive. For example, for all the time spent on camera photo/video, battery, processor and display performance, these features are all competitive between Samsung and Apple smartphones in everyday use. The most valuable features that offer a true impactful difference and are of high value to me, are the Samsung One UI, S Pen, Samsung Dex, Split Screen and customization. Apple iPhone does not even compete in the features that are some of the most important to me. I’m not sure why Apple is not thinking of these features and I guess that is OK considering I do not see a mass shift from Apple iPhone to Samsung Galaxy S Ultra. But to me they are features that would be worth switching from based on my experience. But I also believe what is more familiar to you also has a huge advantage when comparing smartphones along with a community of users within family and friends. In my case I have both Apple and Samsung users I communicate with, so no need to switch. I think both products are world class when comes to the best smartphones on the planet. You really cannot go wrong with Samsung Galaxy or Apple iPhone. But it is always fun to see how they perform against each other. Again, fantastic review!
I tried iphones many times but end up returning or selling it.Just returned to 14 pro max,s22 ultra for me is way better expect the battery life.The notification,stylus,multitasking,screen quality,customization etc…are simply better on samsung
I have a Samsung and see my notifications in full on the lockscreen. GoodLock -> LockStar is the key. The features in GoodLock are so great it would be great if Samsung integrated this into One UI without having to download the GoodLock app.
The 108 megapixel mode is deactivated by default on the S22 ultra you have to activate it in the camera settings to have the 108 megapixels available, But great review by the way
I use the S22 Ultra 5G, I tried out the 14 pro just to see and I am defdefinitely sticking with the S22 because it is much more comfortable to hold and the camera is much much better also I can't go without ONE UI and it's amazing features!
- OS is debatable. It is just personal preference. - Camera is better on S22 ultra for sure. 10x~30x~100x zoom is just amazing, especially if you are living in a city. - Ecosystem is also personal preference. iOS integrates better with apple’s own hardware and software. Whereas, Android is more open and compatible with everything else. - Rest, I agree with you. I used S22 ultra as my daily driver for the last few months and then switch to 14ProMax for the last few weeks, I can say this - If you want a reliable flag ship phone with the best battery(can probably last 2 days), get the iPhone. If you want a flagship that takes the best photo and an ok battery (last almost 1 day if you use the phone constantly) then get the S22 ultra.
Hands down the best video comparison I've seen on UA-cam! After watching over 22 videos (yeap! 22 videos!) about iPhone 14max vs Samsung S22 Ultra. All the features that matter to me was shown flawlessly here. Thank you Ella!! I've signed up to your channel. You're just on point! Thanks again.
Excellent review, very thoughtful and full of nuances showing day to day performance of these peak technology devices. One thing to consider about the camera performance is the raw quality, not by look straight from the camera but by their ability to produce images after editing which the working with these files is all about. Raw file image is not expected to look good straight from the camera after all. Also I am curious how about the performance looks when two apps on the phone work simultaneously for example watching twitch stream in minimized window and writing documents at the same time which can be very stressful for processor. Anyway great review as always Ella!
What iOS needs is to have all the functionality at the bottom, and the visual content at the top, so you dont need to reach for the top. It will make it better in most cases I guess. So like you could press the Back button which would be at the bottom instead of the top like it is atm.
Finally, I was able to see a video comparison for the both for concerts (11:32). Will be going to the same concert in March, I got tickets but not the best seats so I'm glad I got a good offer for Bnew S22 Ultra (traded with Z Flip 3).
Hi Ella. One thing I noticed is when you compared the raw pictures. Samsung does have a multi frame capture RAW app, called Expert RAW, which captures the same amount of dynamic range in a photo as the usual JPG ones. They are equivalent to the general photos and have very high dynamic range. I feel that comparison is a little misleading as people who would really want to click RAW pics would use that app. Which is of course, by Samsung themselves.
Great comparison! Love how you look beyond just the basic stuff most other tech-tubers harp on. One quick note, you can actually bypass the Face ID screen to get to the passcode faster by tapping on the words “Face ID” in the center of the screen. Don’t know why they have it hidden like that.
All around the ultra is the better one but Apple has improved their czmera a lot this year and the iPhone has the colors right the ultra sometimes doesn't, I tested this yesterday in the store the iPhone gave the correct colors off the table the ultra not at all. I have the ultra but the iPhone camera is better. The zoom is better on the ultta. But not every photo is better on the iPhone, outside is the ultra sometimes better.
Great video and comparison, i recently switched from iphone to an S22 Ultra due to the price, i do think a lot is down to personal choice but the S22 is an older phone with the S23 due out early next year, it would be interesting to see that comparison, also if you compared the S22 to the iphone 13 pro max the S22 would likely come out on top i would say
But you only lie to yourself if you compare those together, just think back when they released their Note series with the iPhone, Note 20 released as the direct competitor of the iPhone 12. So when you comparing the S22 to the iPhone 13, that is +2 generation vs +1 generation, and this is the same if you compare the iPhone 14 with S23 too, but if you want to lie to yourself, it's fine, but remember what they try to hide it, when they just not releasing their Note with the iPhone anymore. Basically if both had an even series (Note 20 and iPhone 12), and you add +1 for them in every year, you only make a fair comparison if you compare the even series with even and the odd series with odd..
@@randomcomment9992 no bro your the one who lied to yourself because s22 ultra is the competition of iphone 13 if we see get back from the day when iphone 4 came Samsung released there first S1 so basically with time even iphone 13 is not the competitor of s22😌
@@gamingforu5699 so if Samsung doing the opposite like they did, so they releasing their foldables in february, and bringing the S series to the Note (they don't need to rename to S23 Ultra in this case), than the upcoming S23 and Note 23 in next september is not the competitor of the iPhone 15 and A17, it's only the competitor of the already one year old iPhone 14..? Ok, you are right, they was never able to release any phone what was the competitor of the current iPhone, they always goes against the already one years old iPhone with the Note series for a decade..
Always love seeing your videos in my sub box Ella, your editing is so on point and you are always fair when it comes to reviewing tech,. Im at a stage were im thinking of switching things up and going with an S23 Ultra for my next phone (currently on an iPhone 13 Pro) , been on iphone 11 pro max, 12 pro, 13 pro max (sold for 13 pro instead) but i think its time i change things up, besides i use google services on my iphone anyways so i can easily hope to android and not worry about photos going missing etc. Much love from the UK 💜
Awesome head-to-head comparison video, Ella! Regardless of what phone people choose, we've been absolutely spoiled this year with amazing hardware. I'm planning to get the iPhone 14 Pro Max and your videos have been a huge resource. Keep up the great content!
I bought all note series but this time i bought 14 pro max because i don’t really use stylus avec square corner are big on pocket. Android os is good but 99% of android user like me use only apps and phone…ios have more clean os than android not messy. Hope i will not be disappointed in futur 😅
Qualcomm comes out with a new chip every year and android manufacturers have to build around it while Apple has direct control over everything. I think this is why Google and Samsung have started creating their own chipsets - they have more control and integration will be easier across their phones. That being said, the ability to customize almost everything with your phone is why I have been with Android for as long as I have. My work phone is an iphone 14 and I'm constantly annoyed with missing "quality of life" improvements Android has. Even if the iPhone is technically faster you're very limited, often to one specific method, of how to do anything.
As owner of both phones I agree with of few of these. I have dynamic island on both phones, it's gimmicky at best. Don't find as useful as most do. Always on Display, after the latest 16.2 update, it's finally fixed. As for screen, the 1440p with only the small camera hole punch is sooooo much better than the island. Watching video in full screen is fantastic on the Sammy and horrible on the iPhone. The cameras are subjective depending what your preference may be. Normal colors, excellent video quality goes to the iPhone while high contrast colors with really good video for the Sammy. Video stabilization on the iPhone is far better. People say the iPhone build quality is superior with the stainless bezels and glass, but I find the Sammy to be right there. So I use my iPhone Monday to Friday for business whole my Samsung is for weekends and Holiday's. The iPhone performance is not even close, it's just a more solid device than the Samsung. I'm too deep into the Apple ecosystem so the Samsung would never be my daily but both are fantastic.
My samsung S22 Ultra is arriving next week. Currently using Note10+. Im using my Note10+ for work purposes as the S Pen is used frequently for sketches and sometimes editing info. My iphone 14 Pro Max i use for personal uses. Which does its job well. Camera wise its great. My Note10+ is also good, but currently it has some issues most probably a virus attack or what not, hence why i decided to change. xD
@UCga8Zd6DJ8A1NCq2CEhHLDg huh? why? lol. i like both phones. hahaha. their OS is different from each other. lol. android can do much more hence why its my work phone lol
The performance of the iPhone isn't even close to the Samsung?? Dude what are you talking about? I have a s21 Ultra and it destroyed my 14pro until I returned it. Try turning off animations in settings and watch how much snappier it is than the iPhone. The iPhone doesn't even really feel like 120hz to me. The animation speed on iOS is cringe.The iphone just feels like a chore to use with it's terrible keyboard and predictive text and lack of settings. There's always some work around I have to do to get something done on iOS. iPhone has better battery life but the ultras will get most people thru a whole day and they charge in about half the time. Let's not even talk about how buggy iOS 16 still is I've never seen so many lags and stutters/ crashing apps on an iOS device before. I thought Android was always supposed to be the cheap laggy device lol. People still buying these things because of a silly blue bubble when there's tons of other end to end encryption communication apps that do it better.
I love samsung, the only thing that bothers me is the bloatware that comes with, apps that are intentionally placed taking up space on the phone when you can't even uninstall, which I'm pretty sure causes the viruses, and had been hacked when I don't use my phone that often, and im very careful, not saying apple is the best, but Google has been hit hard with hackers as well, so I wish this would be covered, although this breakdown was excellent, this bloatware needs to be addressed.
This is such a great review! I am a longtime android user and actually considering changing to iphone 14 pro solely for its camera and dynamic island. However, customization is a pretty big deal for me as I easily got bored with a phone The iphone camera is really attractive, but the OS, lightning port, and apple ecosystem is something that keep me from buying an iphone. I hope next year's s23 will bring major improvements to the camera sector
The same for me, the thing that might change me to go to apple would be most of my family has an iPhone, so maybe I would give it a shot just to see how it is, been android half my life.
Sadly the lightning port is going by 2025, and for customisation I'm changing to Samsung within the next few weeks as I can't deal with not having a phone that feels personal.
Amazing review as always. So detail and so rich in narrative describing the user experience, which I can't find in any other tech reviewer. Keep up the good work!
A really great review,thank you! I’m still pro Samsung though,with its stylus and terrific camera zoom even though the iPhone is way better than I expected. I upgraded from my old Samsung S7 switched over to an iPhone 11 in 2020 cos I’ve an iPad Pro 11, but was very disappointed with its camera and video shots ,my old S7 was way better, esp as I do a lot of hiking, so I sold it ,got an excellent price for it an bought a cheap Samsung A52s which has a far better camera . I’ll upgrade to an S24 ultra in about 16 months time
You can have always on for the lock screen on the s22 you just need to turn it on. Oh and for battery life, the iPhone doesn't have background downloading. Try downloading some audio books and leave the app or uploading photos and leave the app.
I feel like the iPhone AOD is just a dimmed unlock screen and that's it. It is not an actual "AOD". It's yet another bad attempt from Apple to copy to yet another feature Android did first.
Honestly I think the iPhone 11 Pro was their best design phones yet. Shame they need to stick to flat sides due to "nostalgia". Although I do think it's for mag safe to be more usable. Maybe they'll design something fresher for future iPhones.
The only thing keeping me from using an iPhone is lack of that back gestures,oneplus back gestures is just so good that I find it difficult to leave it for another,bought an iPhone 12, couldn't keep it for up to 2 months,have to sell it,couldn't get used to it
For me Face ID is really nice since it’s just a kinda passive. By that I mean you don’t have to do anything else: just tap the screen and swipe up to unlock (it doesn’t feel like you have to unlock your phone, but still only you can access it). It is also nice for doing things in the phone: password auto fill in browsers, authenticating Apple Pay, and especially apps that just use Face ID when you launch them to get in Also, I think most apps have where you can drag down from the notification to reply right there
i found in apple in most 3rd party apps you are a click away to open the app and have hold the phone to ur face to unlock if its locked with face id where as with finger print you just use the fp sensor without clicking anywhere or looking at the front camera directly...feels quicker in android..and easy to miss some notifications..with android i didnt have to worry about notification..and the info you can use in lockscreen for android saved me during accident..i use iphone13pro but miss some of the quick access in some some 3rd party apps....i travel for work so need quick access to apps in airports or stations...thinking of getting s23 if the processor is as good as a15
I love the curved display on my s22 ultra. The greenish edge shadow disappears in dark mode or phone position anyway. Both have decent cameras. But still, they're phones that can take photos. I prefer Samsungs display. Apple can get a bit boring. Both are decent phones. Nice detailed review. Thanks
LOVE the honesty based on FACTS! 🤲👌 Like when you told us how the iPhone has a better battery life, but if you charge every night, overnight, you'll still be fine! 🙂 I'm on a pixel 4A just now and cannot decide between Pixel 7 Pro or Samsung S22 Ultra! 🥲 I think Samsung's camera (especially zoom for concerts and sporting events) is pulling me in that direction....
@@CreatedbyEllaYT yes, Gesture is not the same on iOS depending on what app you are using. Same gesture on any app is natural and "magical". If you use a iPhone 13/14 Pro/Max model, with the weight, it's not easy to go on top to go back. Without a case for more grip, i fear to drop my iPhone : that's why i bought a case
I don't know if they took off the feature for future Samsungs, but at least on my Samsung s10e, I can have up to 15 different lock screens. That can include videos and photos. Granted, the videos have to be cut to under 15 or 11 seconds. Somewhere in that range.
This was a really good review. Really thorough. But one thing nobody ever mentions is it doesn't really matter how well the iphone performs because it's literally limited in it's functions via software. Apple gives you this really nice looking, premium phone and limits it knowing the major demographic of VSCO pumpkin spice drinking chicks and non tech savvy wanna be fuckboys are gonna use it just so they look cool and have a certain color chat bubbles. The s22 on the other hand is built to where we can actually use every bit of that power and it has a lot of ease of use and simple function features that apple just won't do. If I was a social media person that just watched youtube videos, edited pics for my insta and messaged people then I'd get an iPhone. If I did anything more than that I'd literally get any other phone that runs android even a midrange one. Apple could kill android if they fixed there software to be less restrictive but because people keep buying it theyre gonna keep selling people shiny tofu blocks at 1.5k and being successful 🤷🏾
I love both for different reasons as well, as many of us seem to. I thought you were more of the 6.1 size in these devices though… I’m stuck between getting the 14 pro or pm, leaning towards PM ( I think) lol! Nice comparison, I always enjoy your content!!!
I’m ngl.. after having an android and switching to iPhone, Samsung.. and Android in general, copy SO MUCH.. I mean look at the camera set up. The software and hardware on the Samsung is so similar to the iPhones design. And look at the home gesture!! That bar is apples design, why did Samsung copy?
IPhone is just a name these days.... I can get 256 gig phone with goid camera system.... And if you compare the pictures you can not identify which one is for iPhone...soo
Had an iPhone for years got the s22 ultra in September I love it I do miss my iphone but I've got both so I can switch between them as I am not selling my apple watch
probably never gonna reach you in this sea of comments and subs, but you have no idea how much i relate with the way you perceive and see the differences, i have a macbook, ipad, but i switch between android and ios, right now i have a s21 ultra but i miss my 12 pro which is atleast 2 gens behind, but i still love android for some things, you really earned this one sub among your other 200k+, good job ella
Awesome comparison, awesome to be in a time where we have some excellent choices and can’t really go wrong with either. I have both of these devices and love both in their respective ways. I can’t wait for the s23 ultra as it’s got some good things coming. Also I prefer Samsungs portrait mode better especially on the front camera and the other camera features on the Samsung such as the food and other items. Both are amazing. I believe with Samsungs new chip next year it will have the processing power for handle the cameras. Also not to mention the Samsung handles ram management better with not having to refresh apps like my iPhone 14 pro max, I more often have to restart my iPhone apps. Samsung also has much better and faster Wi-Fi connectivity to include Wi-Fi 6e and better cellular antennas. I’ve also had better gaming performance as the gpu in the Samsung is better than apples while apples cpu is better than Samsungs. Also when it came to Home Screen apples arbitrary app placement and having to use short cuts for the customization features is very tedious and annoying and not even worth the time. Also certain apps like Zedge on iPhone for ringtones is very annoying to use. Having to go to garage band for every ringtone you want and exporting files and what not just for a ringtone is very frustrating. Ease of use with waaaaaaaaay less steps on the Samsung is huge when talking about day to day use. Not only that even if it’s copying, there is an app that works flawlessly if you want dynamic island on your Samsung. Takes just a few seconds to download and even has more features than apples own dynamic island.
@@wangyeo524 it’s called dynamic island/dynamic spot by jawomo. They also make another app called notification light by Samsung. They are pretty fantastic.
@@michealadebz that's generally how RAM management is on iphones I have noticed it too and this is how it's able to preserve more battery because it has lesser RAM than most flagships and its management is aggressive.
I really love iPhone because of its simplicity. The ecosystem works just right for me. I don’t like to have a bunch of apps and widgets and themes, etc. For the camera it’s also the same. I just open the camera app and take the photo, iPhone processes the image at its best with really good results. The battery lasts longer having in mind the fact that the Ultra is bigger. I loved how much close the len in the Samsung can get and that’s it.
I want to point out the reverse charging gis kind of useless if your phone is dying since you can only use the setting if it's at 30%. Then again if your on the go a lot sure it might be good to help charge earbuds but most of the time earbuds are already pretty charged in their case and etc. It just isn't has good of a feature as I'd hoped when switching to Samsung. Great video anyways great comparison.
It is a "nice to have", it happened that I forgot to charge my watch or was testing an app that drained the watch overnight and I used the phone to charge it enough for me to track my workout in the morning, then I charged the watch fully after getting home. Other possibility is forgetting the watch puck in a trip or a friend forgot to charge their phone and needs a bit of juice. Absolute edge cases, but it is one piece of mind thing...
Been Comparing for years. Only thing I found better on Iphone is Video (not pics) ecosystem instagram, battery life And in my opinion flat screen. Only time benchmarks matter I think is when downloading or uploading video, other than that real world top androids usually faster. Sometimes starting a game iphone faster. But regular app to app and scrolling its top androids faster. Everything else better on the S22 ultra plus you have all the things you can't even do on iphone that you can on NOTE S22 that reviewers usually don't really cover in detail
I really like the curved screens in smartphones, it looks nicer and I have no problems with it at all. The iPhone is better in color accuracy: I put my s22 ultra next to the iPhone in the store and the iPhone showed the real colors of the table, the ultra does not + the iPhone is also clearer. But the iPhone is rather clumsy and boring I think. Both are top smartphones, but the iPhone in Belgium is much too expensive, even with a subscription it is too expensive. The S22 Ultra is easier to buy and is cheaper than an iPhone.
The one thing alot of these reviews leave out or don't know is your doing all the s22 ultra reviews based of minimal settings.... 😐 What I mean is when you get your s22 ultra the system has 32 gb or ram separated on 4 8gb ram sticks. From factory only one of those ram slots are unlocked thus limiting your overall processing power. To unlock the rest you simply need to call Samsung support, s22 ultra are all pre installed it's literally just a call. Most gamers go with unlocking two for 16gbs of ram. 😀 Truly hope this helps and would really love to see an adjusted review with more of your ram slots unlocked. 🙏💯😉
Wow Ella! How awesome that you got to see Blackpink on their North America tour. I wanted to go too, but the tickets were too expensive for me. Couldn’t afford paying $700.00 per ticket. Hope you enjoy the concert. Always enjoy your videos and hearing your thoughts on tech products. Looking forward to your next one 😊
Concert goers seems to really appreciate S22 ultra. was not much into cameras [bought it for the pen] but I'm happy it has that much zoom because I'm for sure going to use it when i get to attend concert.
FINALLY, a top tier reviewer who acknowledges the pro modes on the S22. They are very powerful tools and most reviewers don't even mention them. Good work as always.

iPhone called Pro but not having a Pro Mode, and everybody think it’s ok🤨👎🏿. Nope. I own a 13 Pro, it delivers great pictures it’s a Pro phone and i want to choose parameters like on my other Android smartphone.
More reviewers should be honest about that and more Apple fanboy too
Even my $150 cheap phone has a pro mode which $1200 iphone doesn't have. But anyway if raw picture can give a better result, why bothered having one. Lmaoo
Also another thing to be said about Samsung's notification is that their is a notification history that you can turn off or on. So in case you accidentally swipe away at a notification you didn't want to clear, you can still go back and review it through the notification history.
That's a very awesome option. I use it

I love how she talks about Android vs iOS. She's the only creator who reflects real world use case and perspective on how much easier,better, logical, user friendly and accessible it is to use Android instead of iOS.
“Logical” and “better” is both subjective and borderline meaningless and also it’s both debatable in my opinion.

It is a major problem just when Samsung and that spen were looking so good .
What is your suggestion on combating that dismal lighting port junk transfer speed ?
One overlooked feature on Samsung is the ability to connect it to a TV or external monitor apart from Dex. You can use it as a media player when on the go in hotels to watch Netflix or UA-cam. With iPhone you won't have such option.
I use AirPlay to stream media as most TVs in the last 3-5 years now support this feature.

Using Guestures instead of the navigation bar 🤮
@@_Ace._ have you tried using gestures? Cause that's how I felt too and then I saw how quickly you can navigate your phone with it, I switched to gestures and it did change my mind
@Flonny yes iv used recent iPhones, so I gave it a go the buttons are faster in my opinion, back guesture on the right feels wrong like it should go forward but reaching to the far left is inconvenient. You also lose the swipe up to pay unless on the homesceen. I find it hard to believe it could be faster as the distance between the buttons are shorter and involves less movement by tapping.
I'm starting to realize how monster S23 series could be knowing S22 series is still holding up with the others.
Bro... its 7 month older.. thats it. They have literally the same development cycle
@@Notyou560 There's still S25 coming up where would the Iphone Pro Maz be?
@@Notyou560 you're actually wrong iPhone 14 have been in production longer 7months is not accurate and 7months in the phone industry is a huge leap believe it or not your looking at it 🤔 in a non tech savvy way seems as if your pushing for Apple when it's not about Apple or Samsung it's about an manufacturer having the laptop tech to upgrade to new wifi modems new camera sensors and such I am in the Industry so I know what am talking about example the iPhone 15 have been in progress probably from a year ago so when s23 series are released the iPhone 15 will probably be on pair or have more
I definitely like how she's very unbiased and considered a lot of features both phones have. The only thing missing to me when it comes to speed is that you can speed up the S22 ultra or almost any android at this point by going into the developer settings and drop the window animation, transition animation and animation duration to make the S22 super fast.
That will only speed up windows transitions not the performance of the phone🤣
@@metanoia3824 Oh yeah? And then what about when you go in and change the processor speed to "maximum," which is two settings above the default setting? I suppose that changes nothing either, huh? If you're an Apple fanatic, that explains why you don't understand technology. As for the transition animation scale, the point of the commenter is that, when performing head to head tests against the iPhone, the S22U would be much faster in a real world UI navigation test, since it wouldn't take all that extra time with animations. Fortunately for dumb Apple people, Apple doesn't trust you to change any settings, so you don't have to worry about the possibility of any of these settings features, because you just do whatever Apple tells you because Apple knows best and Apple rightfully doesn't trust their customers to be able to make intelligent decisions on their own.
@@skankytrick funny😂. FYI I'm an android user ever since and "ALREADY PLANNING" to switch to iPhone because I know how android works and its limitations. The commenter pointed out about adjusting the animation speed not the processor speed lol. And I've been to flashing custom roms maybe before you were even born don't lecture me about processor speed lol. With regards to setting the processing speed to max, if ever that option is available in developers settings, it means overclocking the cpu which could heat up the phone and eats up a lot of battery. too much heat could kill your phone specially the battery. One of the reasons why it's not enabled by default. Also if that's the case then it would mean Android would have to do overclocking just to keep up with Apple's processing speed😂. Transition animations alone should not be counted when comparing phone speed. We have benchmark test results that shows valid data lol. And yes there are so many user customizations that could be done in android compared to iPhone but do you really think all of them will be used specially by ordinary users? Most of them don't know they even existed Lol. comparing these operating systems is like choosing between quantity and quality lol.
PS: Android has so many background pocesses that slows down the phone and eats up a lot of battery. I really can't see Android beat apple in terms of speed because of the difference in architecture 🤣 sorry but it hurts at first specially to an android fan boy like u😂
@@skankytrick Bingo, that apple fanatics don't really understand technology. You really hit the spot! Your comment is perfect!
@@skankytrickyoure trying too hard its embarrassing atp 😨🤣
That S Pen was the thing I started using Galaxy Note in 2011 and never ever used any other phone brand or series since then. Well, now Galaxy S22 Ultra has S Pen, so of course, I am using this phone now. It would not be be a lie if I say Galaxy Note saved me from glass cage.
I really love my Galaxy S22 Ultra and I think I'm going to keep it until the S24 is released. Ella is always fair and thorough in her comparison videos. Keep up the great work!
Thanks!

Does Samsung S22 Ultra only gets a 2 years covered in future updates?
@@dna8557 No they currently give 4 years of OS updates.
S22 Ultra is better 🥇. We can say that iPhone is better in Videos and Battery life but S22 Ultra is more flexible in Photos. When you see videos or movies, pleasure is better with S22 Ultra. It also adresses more people needs : Android give S22 Ultra easier connection to Windows laptop whatever the brand (Most people own Windows laptop). It's also more user friendly with features or specificities with Android like Android Back Gesture, A number row key to write text easier, Cloned App for both personnal and professional account, Multitasking with Split Screen. You can unlock your phone without a useless extra swipe, with fingerprint scanner, same for Samsung face unlock. Samsung OneUi is great. Samsung Ecosystem is good too with Galaxy Buds, Galaxy Tab, Galaxy Watch, Galaxy Book. Even if 4 years of OS Update/5 Years of Securtiy update is less than Apple, it's still amazing for most users : 5 years guarantee. Iphone 14 Pro is an amazing smartphone but S22 Ultra is more complete🥇.
Eh apple can easily just update and have the Samsung options they don't have anything revolutionary that can't be "copied"

Ella is the BEST electronics reviewer on UA-cam and I won't take no or any different suggestion for an answer. Always say what needs to be heard while keeping it simple.
thank you!
I feel like most reviewers give a great review of the camera's in general, but fail to acknowledge that so many users these days use the camera app within other applications like snapchat, instagram, tik tok etc. This video was so close to perfect and I think if you just covered a final last topic on app optimisation and covered the differences with using social media apps, this would have been flawless. Still, an incredible review!!

The battery life can be a lot bigger than you think if you travel and spend all night out. In Disney last year my wife had to carry around a battery charger for her brand new S22+ phone as her phone drained early in the night while my very old and used iPhone XS Max easily lasted the entire time and beyond.
I’ve recently switched from the note 20 ultra to the iPhone 14 pro max and the battery life has blown me away
Samsungs battery and chipset has improved since then
It must have blown you away Kavina as the Note 20 Ultra had quite poor battery life in comparison to many of today's devices. The S23 Ultra promises much better battery life in comparison but what it actually delivers is another thing; but even this at best will almost certainly fall short of the monster battery life on your 14PM.
Will it last??

Finally a review based on daily use not just focusing on camera all the time. This adds a lot of prospective for choosing ios vs android. I also feel that if u have been using android for a long time u would like to try ios and vice-versa
The fact that the older S22 can keep up with the much newer 14promax says a lot to me. I am impressed by this review.
its only like what 7 months older?
@@dawsonhenning2766 yeah thats what i thought... Thats no really a good point
@@dawsonhenning2766 many changes can be made in that timeframe. The phone has been out 7 months beflre th other. It is enough time to pretty much think of everything they can to beat out the older phone.
@@dawsonhenning2766 The thing is, once Samsung launches its phone in Feb, Apple has a lot of timeframe to improve things and beat Samsung. Same cycle happens between September and Feb.

@@jz1607 Can say the same about the Samsung. They have plenty of time to innovate. Also, if they use this as an excuse, why? They can change their launch dates to give them an "edge" on apple.

Ella, thank you for another informative, balanced and professional comparison review. I have found little to switch from Samsung Galaxy series of smartphones over to Apple iPhone. In fact, for me I would be required to give up features that have become invaluable in my everyday professional and personal life. I do believe if I had started with Apple iPhone rather than a Samsung Galaxy S smartphone, I do not think I would switch to a Galaxy S smartphone.
I say this because I believe a person does not miss what they do not have when it comes to tech features if all other things are equal or competitive. For example, for all the time spent on camera photo/video, battery, processor and display performance, these features are all competitive between Samsung and Apple smartphones in everyday use. The most valuable features that offer a true impactful difference and are of high value to me, are the Samsung One UI, S Pen, Samsung Dex, Split Screen and customization. Apple iPhone does not even compete in the features that are some of the most important to me. I’m not sure why Apple is not thinking of these features and I guess that is OK considering I do not see a mass shift from Apple iPhone to Samsung Galaxy S Ultra. But to me they are features that would be worth switching from based on my experience.
But I also believe what is more familiar to you also has a huge advantage when comparing smartphones along with a community of users within family and friends. In my case I have both Apple and Samsung users I communicate with, so no need to switch. I think both products are world class when comes to the best smartphones on the planet. You really cannot go wrong with Samsung Galaxy or Apple iPhone. But it is always fun to see how they perform against each other. Again, fantastic review!
I love how you included the tiktok meme with the lady dodging the sword Lol
I tried iphones many times but end up returning or selling it.Just returned to 14 pro max,s22 ultra for me is way better expect the battery life.The notification,stylus,multitasking,screen quality,customization etc…are simply better on samsung
I LOVE THE CURVE SCREEN IT LOOKS SO POSH!
I have a Samsung and see my notifications in full on the lockscreen.
GoodLock -> LockStar is the key.
The features in GoodLock are so great it would be great if Samsung integrated this into One UI without having to download the GoodLock app.
You need to be noticed more, your reviews and comparisons are so good and are on point with useful information and real life situations
The 108 megapixel mode is deactivated by default on the S22 ultra you have to activate it in the camera settings to have the 108 megapixels available, But great review by the way
I use the S22 Ultra 5G, I tried out the 14 pro just to see and I am defdefinitely sticking with the S22 because it is much more comfortable to hold and the camera is much much better also I can't go without ONE UI and it's amazing features!
- OS is debatable. It is just personal preference.
- Camera is better on S22 ultra for sure. 10x~30x~100x zoom is just amazing, especially if you are living in a city.
- Ecosystem is also personal preference. iOS integrates better with apple’s own hardware and software. Whereas, Android is more open and compatible with everything else.
- Rest, I agree with you.
I used S22 ultra as my daily driver for the last few months and then switch to 14ProMax for the last few weeks, I can say this - If you want a reliable flag ship phone with the best battery(can probably last 2 days), get the iPhone. If you want a flagship that takes the best photo and an ok battery (last almost 1 day if you use the phone constantly) then get the S22 ultra.

Excellent review, very thoughtful and full of nuances showing day to day performance of these peak technology devices. One thing to consider about the camera performance is the raw quality, not by look straight from the camera but by their ability to produce images after editing which the working with these files is all about. Raw file image is not expected to look good straight from the camera after all. Also I am curious how about the performance looks when two apps on the phone work simultaneously for example watching twitch stream in minimized window and writing documents at the same time which can be very stressful for processor. Anyway great review as always Ella!
What iOS needs is to have all the functionality at the bottom, and the visual content at the top, so you dont need to reach for the top. It will make it better in most cases I guess.
So like you could press the Back button which would be at the bottom instead of the top like it is atm.
Finally, I was able to see a video comparison for the both for concerts (11:32). Will be going to the same concert in March, I got tickets but not the best seats so I'm glad I got a good offer for Bnew S22 Ultra (traded with Z Flip 3).
Same, I'm a concert goer too, so it's nice to see that telephoto used in a real world and relatable situation, my gosh she got to go to Blackpink too
@@kevinsjournal will be going to a Blackpink concert too. 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Hi Ella. One thing I noticed is when you compared the raw pictures. Samsung does have a multi frame capture RAW app, called Expert RAW, which captures the same amount of dynamic range in a photo as the usual JPG ones. They are equivalent to the general photos and have very high dynamic range. I feel that comparison is a little misleading as people who would really want to click RAW pics would use that app. Which is of course, by Samsung themselves.
Great comparison! Love how you look beyond just the basic stuff most other tech-tubers harp on. One quick note, you can actually bypass the Face ID screen to get to the passcode faster by tapping on the words “Face ID” in the center of the screen. Don’t know why they have it hidden like that.
I still prefer the S22 Ultra but fair enough. Can't wait to see your comparison with the 14 Pro Max and the S23 Ultra.
coming next year
All around the ultra is the better one but Apple has improved their czmera a lot this year and the iPhone has the colors right the ultra sometimes doesn't, I tested this yesterday in the store the iPhone gave the correct colors off the table the ultra not at all. I have the ultra but the iPhone camera is better. The zoom is better on the ultta. But not every photo is better on the iPhone, outside is the ultra sometimes better.
Not going to lie she's underrated
Great video and comparison, i recently switched from iphone to an S22 Ultra due to the price, i do think a lot is down to personal choice but the S22 is an older phone with the S23 due out early next year, it would be interesting to see that comparison, also if you compared the S22 to the iphone 13 pro max the S22 would likely come out on top i would say
But you only lie to yourself if you compare those together, just think back when they released their Note series with the iPhone, Note 20 released as the direct competitor of the iPhone 12. So when you comparing the S22 to the iPhone 13, that is +2 generation vs +1 generation, and this is the same if you compare the iPhone 14 with S23 too, but if you want to lie to yourself, it's fine, but remember what they try to hide it, when they just not releasing their Note with the iPhone anymore. Basically if both had an even series (Note 20 and iPhone 12), and you add +1 for them in every year, you only make a fair comparison if you compare the even series with even and the odd series with odd..
@@randomcomment9992 no bro your the one who lied to yourself because s22 ultra is the competition of iphone 13 if we see get back from the day when iphone 4 came Samsung released there first S1 so basically with time even iphone 13 is not the competitor of s22😌
@@gamingforu5699 so if Samsung doing the opposite like they did, so they releasing their foldables in february, and bringing the S series to the Note (they don't need to rename to S23 Ultra in this case), than the upcoming S23 and Note 23 in next september is not the competitor of the iPhone 15 and A17, it's only the competitor of the already one year old iPhone 14..? Ok, you are right, they was never able to release any phone what was the competitor of the current iPhone, they always goes against the already one years old iPhone with the Note series for a decade..
Always love seeing your videos in my sub box Ella, your editing is so on point and you are always fair when it comes to reviewing tech,. Im at a stage were im thinking of switching things up and going with an S23 Ultra for my next phone (currently on an iPhone 13 Pro) , been on iphone 11 pro max, 12 pro, 13 pro max (sold for 13 pro instead) but i think its time i change things up, besides i use google services on my iphone anyways so i can easily hope to android and not worry about photos going missing etc. Much love from the UK 💜

I bought all note series but this time i bought 14 pro max because i don’t really use stylus avec square corner are big on pocket. Android os is good but 99% of android user like me use only apps and phone…ios have more clean os than android not messy. Hope i will not be disappointed in futur 😅
Qualcomm comes out with a new chip every year and android manufacturers have to build around it while Apple has direct control over everything. I think this is why Google and Samsung have started creating their own chipsets - they have more control and integration will be easier across their phones. That being said, the ability to customize almost everything with your phone is why I have been with Android for as long as I have. My work phone is an iphone 14 and I'm constantly annoyed with missing "quality of life" improvements Android has. Even if the iPhone is technically faster you're very limited, often to one specific method, of how to do anything.
AOD can have a dim wallpaper and also, the notifications can also be seen in detail. You just have to go through it's settings.
Ela you're one of the best tech UA-camrs , so much information presented eloquently, also s/o Toronto ♥️
But then iPhone's AOD during the night is too bright 😭
As owner of both phones I agree with of few of these. I have dynamic island on both phones, it's gimmicky at best. Don't find as useful as most do. Always on Display, after the latest 16.2 update, it's finally fixed. As for screen, the 1440p with only the small camera hole punch is sooooo much better than the island. Watching video in full screen is fantastic on the Sammy and horrible on the iPhone. The cameras are subjective depending what your preference may be. Normal colors, excellent video quality goes to the iPhone while high contrast colors with really good video for the Sammy. Video stabilization on the iPhone is far better. People say the iPhone build quality is superior with the stainless bezels and glass, but I find the Sammy to be right there. So I use my iPhone Monday to Friday for business whole my Samsung is for weekends and Holiday's. The iPhone performance is not even close, it's just a more solid device than the Samsung. I'm too deep into the Apple ecosystem so the Samsung would never be my daily but both are fantastic.
My samsung S22 Ultra is arriving next week. Currently using Note10+. Im using my Note10+ for work purposes as the S Pen is used frequently for sketches and sometimes editing info. My iphone 14 Pro Max i use for personal uses. Which does its job well. Camera wise its great. My Note10+ is also good, but currently it has some issues most probably a virus attack or what not, hence why i decided to change. xD
@UCga8Zd6DJ8A1NCq2CEhHLDg huh? why? lol. i like both phones. hahaha. their OS is different from each other. lol. android can do much more hence why its my work phone lol
The performance of the iPhone isn't even close to the Samsung?? Dude what are you talking about? I have a s21 Ultra and it destroyed my 14pro until I returned it. Try turning off animations in settings and watch how much snappier it is than the iPhone. The iPhone doesn't even really feel like 120hz to me. The animation speed on iOS is cringe.The iphone just feels like a chore to use with it's terrible keyboard and predictive text and lack of settings. There's always some work around I have to do to get something done on iOS. iPhone has better battery life but the ultras will get most people thru a whole day and they charge in about half the time. Let's not even talk about how buggy iOS 16 still is I've never seen so many lags and stutters/ crashing apps on an iOS device before. I thought Android was always supposed to be the cheap laggy device lol. People still buying these things because of a silly blue bubble when there's tons of other end to end encryption communication apps that do it better.
how can u go deep in any ecosystem.. its just bullshit.
I love samsung, the only thing that bothers me is the bloatware that comes with, apps that are intentionally placed taking up space on the phone when you can't even uninstall, which I'm pretty sure causes the viruses, and had been hacked when I don't use my phone that often, and im very careful, not saying apple is the best, but Google has been hit hard with hackers as well, so I wish this would be covered, although this breakdown was excellent, this bloatware needs to be addressed.
The same TikTok showing up as number 2 at 18:14 is wild
This is such a great review!
I am a longtime android user and actually considering changing to iphone 14 pro solely for its camera and dynamic island.
However, customization is a pretty big deal for me as I easily got bored with a phone
The iphone camera is really attractive, but the OS, lightning port, and apple ecosystem is something that keep me from buying an iphone.
I hope next year's s23 will bring major improvements to the camera sector
The same for me, the thing that might change me to go to apple would be most of my family has an iPhone, so maybe I would give it a shot just to see how it is, been android half my life.
Sadly the lightning port is going by 2025, and for customisation I'm changing to Samsung within the next few weeks as I can't deal with not having a phone that feels personal.
@@danielbaroy Why would you consider the removal of the ligtning port a drawback?
Amazing review as always.
So detail and so rich in narrative describing the user experience, which I can't find in any other tech reviewer.

A really great review,thank you! I’m still pro Samsung though,with its stylus and terrific camera zoom even though the iPhone is way better than I expected. I upgraded from my old Samsung S7 switched over to an iPhone 11 in 2020 cos I’ve an iPad Pro 11, but was very disappointed with its camera and video shots ,my old S7 was way better, esp as I do a lot of hiking, so I sold it ,got an excellent price for it an bought a cheap Samsung A52s which has a far better camera . I’ll upgrade to an S24 ultra in about 16 months time
You can have always on for the lock screen on the s22 you just need to turn it on. Oh and for battery life, the iPhone doesn't have background downloading. Try downloading some audio books and leave the app or uploading photos and leave the app.
I feel like the iPhone AOD is just a dimmed unlock screen and that's it. It is not an actual "AOD". It's yet another bad attempt from Apple to copy to yet another feature Android did first.
Honestly I think the iPhone 11 Pro was their best design phones yet. Shame they need to stick to flat sides due to "nostalgia". Although I do think it's for mag safe to be more usable. Maybe they'll design something fresher for future iPhones.
The only thing keeping me from using an iPhone is lack of that back gestures,oneplus back gestures is just so good that I find it difficult to leave it for another,bought an iPhone 12, couldn't keep it for up to 2 months,have to sell it,couldn't get used to it
It doesnt mean that your judgment is correct either. S22 Ultra is by far superior phone
For me Face ID is really nice since it’s just a kinda passive. By that I mean you don’t have to do anything else: just tap the screen and swipe up to unlock (it doesn’t feel like you have to unlock your phone, but still only you can access it). It is also nice for doing things in the phone: password auto fill in browsers, authenticating Apple Pay, and especially apps that just use Face ID when you launch them to get in
Also, I think most apps have where you can drag down from the notification to reply right there
i found in apple in most 3rd party apps you are a click away to open the app and have hold the phone to ur face to unlock if its locked with face id where as with finger print you just use the fp sensor without clicking anywhere or looking at the front camera directly...feels quicker in android..and easy to miss some notifications..with android i didnt have to worry about notification..and the info you can use in lockscreen for android saved me during accident..i use iphone13pro but miss some of the quick access in some some 3rd party apps....i travel for work so need quick access to apps in airports or stations...thinking of getting s23 if the processor is as good as a15
I love the curved display on my s22 ultra. The greenish edge shadow disappears in dark mode or phone position anyway. Both have decent cameras. But still, they're phones that can take photos. I prefer Samsungs display. Apple can get a bit boring. Both are decent phones. Nice detailed review. Thanks
LOVE the honesty based on FACTS! 🤲👌 Like when you told us how the iPhone has a better battery life, but if you charge every night, overnight, you'll still be fine! 🙂
I'm on a pixel 4A just now and cannot decide between Pixel 7 Pro or Samsung S22 Ultra! 🥲 I think Samsung's camera (especially zoom for concerts and sporting events) is pulling me in that direction....
The back gesture on android is sooo 😅underrated, i didn’t realize how much I’d miss that when I switched
yess!! it's not mentioned often enough
@@CreatedbyEllaYT yes, Gesture is not the same on iOS depending on what app you are using. Same gesture on any app is natural and "magical".
If you use a iPhone 13/14 Pro/Max model, with the weight, it's not easy to go on top to go back. Without a case for more grip, i fear to drop my iPhone : that's why i bought a case
I don't know if they took off the feature for future Samsungs, but at least on my Samsung s10e, I can have up to 15 different lock screens. That can include videos and photos. Granted, the videos have to be cut to under 15 or 11 seconds. Somewhere in that range.
Really good high quality video. Well done
first 10 seconds made me subscribe, it was too cute fighting with the phones 😂
This was a really good review. Really thorough. But one thing nobody ever mentions is it doesn't really matter how well the iphone performs because it's literally limited in it's functions via software. Apple gives you this really nice looking, premium phone and limits it knowing the major demographic of VSCO pumpkin spice drinking chicks and non tech savvy wanna be fuckboys are gonna use it just so they look cool and have a certain color chat bubbles. The s22 on the other hand is built to where we can actually use every bit of that power and it has a lot of ease of use and simple function features that apple just won't do. If I was a social media person that just watched youtube videos, edited pics for my insta and messaged people then I'd get an iPhone. If I did anything more than that I'd literally get any other phone that runs android even a midrange one. Apple could kill android if they fixed there software to be less restrictive but because people keep buying it theyre gonna keep selling people shiny tofu blocks at 1.5k and being successful 🤷🏾
I love both for different reasons as well, as many of us seem to. I thought you were more of the 6.1 size in these devices though… I’m stuck between getting the 14 pro or pm, leaning towards PM ( I think) lol! Nice comparison, I always enjoy your content!!!
I own s22 ultra and pm 14. Get the pro max. More battery, better speaker and larger screen
@@JohnD_x Thanks, I think I will for the battery 🪫 alone. ☺️Ty
I’m ngl.. after having an android and switching to iPhone, Samsung.. and Android in general, copy SO MUCH.. I mean look at the camera set up. The software and hardware on the Samsung is so similar to the iPhones design. And look at the home gesture!! That bar is apples design, why did Samsung copy?
1:47 Yo that case is dope 👁️👄👁️
IPhone is just a name these days.... I can get 256 gig phone with goid camera system.... And if you compare the pictures you can not identify which one is for iPhone...soo
Had an iPhone for years got the s22 ultra in September I love it I do miss my iphone but I've got both so I can switch between them as I am not selling my apple watch
Finally i am gonna be watching this with my 14 pro max 😭😭😭 been watching ur video huhuhuhu
probably never gonna reach you in this sea of comments and subs, but you have no idea how much i relate with the way you perceive and see the differences, i have a macbook, ipad, but i switch between android and ios, right now i have a s21 ultra but i miss my 12 pro which is atleast 2 gens behind, but i still love android for some things, you really earned this one sub among your other 200k+, good job ella
iPhone screen is made by Samsung
Awesome comparison, awesome to be in a time where we have some excellent choices and can’t really go wrong with either. I have both of these devices and love both in their respective ways. I can’t wait for the s23 ultra as it’s got some good things coming. Also I prefer Samsungs portrait mode better especially on the front camera and the other camera features on the Samsung such as the food and other items. Both are amazing. I believe with Samsungs new chip next year it will have the processing power for handle the cameras. Also not to mention the Samsung handles ram management better with not having to refresh apps like my iPhone 14 pro max, I more often have to restart my iPhone apps. Samsung also has much better and faster Wi-Fi connectivity to include Wi-Fi 6e and better cellular antennas. I’ve also had better gaming performance as the gpu in the Samsung is better than apples while apples cpu is better than Samsungs. Also when it came to Home Screen apples arbitrary app placement and having to use short cuts for the customization features is very tedious and annoying and not even worth the time. Also certain apps like Zedge on iPhone for ringtones is very annoying to use. Having to go to garage band for every ringtone you want and exporting files and what not just for a ringtone is very frustrating. Ease of use with waaaaaaaaay less steps on the Samsung is huge when talking about day to day use. Not only that even if it’s copying, there is an app that works flawlessly if you want dynamic island on your Samsung. Takes just a few seconds to download and even has more features than apples own dynamic island.
oooh? What is this app? I tried using one that was recommended by a different channel but I got tired of it fast.
@@wangyeo524 it’s called dynamic island/dynamic spot by jawomo. They also make another app called notification light by Samsung. They are pretty fantastic.
If ur apps keep refreshing there must be something wrong with ur iPhone.
@@michealadebz that's generally how RAM management is on iphones I have noticed it too and this is how it's able to preserve more battery because it has lesser RAM than most flagships and its management is aggressive.
One of the best comparisons with these 2 beasts!!!!
For Dex, I'm not sure what you meant you said "Overall, it's still a bit too slow." I've started using Dex everday and it can be faster than my Mac.
GETTING THE S22 ULTRA PURELY BECAUSE I HAVE A CONCERT COMING UP
the ui5 has all the features of ios16 lock screen too-
I really love iPhone because of its simplicity. The ecosystem works just right for me. I don’t like to have a bunch of apps and widgets and themes, etc. For the camera it’s also the same. I just open the camera app and take the photo, iPhone processes the image at its best with really good results. The battery lasts longer having in mind the fact that the Ultra is bigger.
I loved how much close the len in the Samsung can get and that’s it.
Can't wait for my S22 ultra unlocked! 😍 loved your comparison .
I want to point out the reverse charging gis kind of useless if your phone is dying since you can only use the setting if it's at 30%. Then again if your on the go a lot sure it might be good to help charge earbuds but most of the time earbuds are already pretty charged in their case and etc. It just isn't has good of a feature as I'd hoped when switching to Samsung. Great video anyways great comparison.
It is a "nice to have", it happened that I forgot to charge my watch or was testing an app that drained the watch overnight and I used the phone to charge it enough for me to track my workout in the morning, then I charged the watch fully after getting home.
Other possibility is forgetting the watch puck in a trip or a friend forgot to charge their phone and needs a bit of juice.
Absolute edge cases, but it is one piece of mind thing...
Would be interesting to see a comparison between the 14 Pro Max and the Pixel 7 Pro
Yes I really hope she does that review!
What is the point of raw if you want it to be processed in camera?
Been Comparing for years. Only thing I found better on Iphone is Video (not pics) ecosystem instagram, battery life And in my opinion flat screen. Only time benchmarks matter I think is when downloading or uploading video, other than that real world top androids usually faster. Sometimes starting a game iphone faster. But regular app to app and scrolling its top androids faster. Everything else better on the S22 ultra plus you have all the things you can't even do on iphone that you can on NOTE S22 that reviewers usually don't really cover in detail
S23 Ultra drops early 2023, it'd be a fair to compare this model to the iPhone 14 Pro Max.
true
I am proud to sayyy that finally I got my new Iphone 14 Pro max in silver hhuhuhu😭😭😭😭
same phone as mine!
@@CreatedbyEllaYT yey! Never regreted getting the silver variant... could fit any cases
Samsung can display AOD with full notification as well. You need to do more research.
Thanks for all the tips. Didn't know what my phone is capable of. KDE Connect is awesome. Now I can sync all my devices including my Steam Deck.
Galaxy / IPhone are Brothers but? they both live in different Country.
I really like the curved screens in smartphones, it looks nicer and I have no problems with it at all. The iPhone is better in color accuracy: I put my s22 ultra next to the iPhone in the store and the iPhone showed the real colors of the table, the ultra does not + the iPhone is also clearer. But the iPhone is rather clumsy and boring I think. Both are top smartphones, but the iPhone in Belgium is much too expensive, even with a subscription it is too expensive. The S22 Ultra is easier to buy and is cheaper than an iPhone.
The one thing alot of these reviews leave out or don't know is your doing all the s22 ultra reviews based of minimal settings.... 😐
What I mean is when you get your s22 ultra the system has 32 gb or ram separated on 4 8gb ram sticks. From factory only one of those ram slots are unlocked thus limiting your overall processing power.
To unlock the rest you simply need to call Samsung support, s22 ultra are all pre installed it's literally just a call.
Most gamers go with unlocking two for 16gbs of ram. 😀
Truly hope this helps and would really love to see an adjusted review with more of your ram slots unlocked. 🙏💯😉
Wow Ella! How awesome that you got to see Blackpink on their North America tour. I wanted to go too, but the tickets were too expensive for me. Couldn’t afford paying $700.00 per ticket. Hope you enjoy the concert.
Always enjoy your videos and hearing your thoughts on tech products. Looking forward to your next one 😊
thanks for your support :)
To be honest most people that have an android just want an iPhone
eh not true mate. depends a lot
Concert goers seems to really appreciate S22 ultra. was not much into cameras [bought it for the pen] but I'm happy it has that much zoom because I'm for sure going to use it when i get to attend concert.
