I never got this "green bubble" problem. In fact, outside of the US most people use Whatsapp as the main message service, SMS comes in only when you exhaust your data plan or the network is collapsed (third world problem, I know). I believe 95% of people will do great with a mid-range phone, and I put my money on that. So my daily driver is a Galaxy A53. So far, it's been great.
It does seem like a cultural thing but apparently it’s real. Although not as terrible as most would portray it. Mainly something people like to keep poking fun of.
It's interesting how when iPhone users switch to Android, they don't realize some of the benefits like 1 USBC cable for everything since iPhone is the only device using lightning, moving files to the phone doesn't require the use of itunes (but just like connecting to any external drive), being able to side load apps (many reasons to do this), setting up multiple instances of a messaging app. It's simply a case of they don't know what they don't know, and only see what's not there switching over from an iPhone
Agreed. It's because iPhone users have been use to being told what they like and dislike, being told what they can and cannot have, being told they must use it this way because customizations are not allowed, etc. They are all so used to not being able to make choices and decide for themselves how to use and customize their devices.
So sad, and I have majority ios users in my family and they're ready to switch just simply not quite ready to learn when they should have a long time ago just to know the real differences anyway.
@@JordanMac79 for rcs, secure read receipt 100mb+ file sharing? it's baked into Google messages and been on samsung years well before that. Now getting that communication to an apple device is the problem through text and that's one of the reasons I'll never use their products again. They cause to many distractions and separation, They don't offer enough to justify it. Imessage doesn't mean anything to me when I look at what i can't have with the money spent. If that's what you were referring to. And for my family we share important messages through drive if needed, quick and easily and go on with our day. For the android users we share high quality messages through Google messages and samsung messages, cross compatible also.
As a new android user, I found switching from Apple quite easy as everyone that I know uses WhatsApp and never iMessage, also, the process was smooth and easy to do when transferring to my new phone. Android, in my opinion, has surpassed iPhone in many areas, and using the system is so much more customisable and enjoyable over iPhone's stagnated iOS.
I made this move as well. Been an iPhone guy since the iPhone 3GS. It's been an interesting transition for me as well. Took me about two weeks to get all the settings and apps set up the way I like them. Have had no issues with the finger print reader on my end. The cameras are amazing, and the customizability of the OS is out to this world!
Me too. I've never been an Android user before. It's my first time and it's been interesting as well. I'm loving the customization too. I'm using Android for almost 2 weeks and I'm doing a great job besides that I just used iOS for the past 15 years. 😅
Using your fingertip instead of your whole finger to unlock gives you a 99% success in unlocking, trust me. Also set the top quick settings menu to appear when you swipe down anywhere on the screen, super convenient.
This is just the tip of the iceberg. So much more to the S23 Ultra. So much more to Androids operating system in general. Do what you want, not what Apple wants.
It usually doesn't work with me when I hold my phone with the side of my finger. But the problem is mine not the phone. But I loved the Face ID. It's really a cool feature but not all the time, like when you don't want to unlock your phone.
I am sorry but iphone users switching to Samsung reminds me of villagers moving to the city and thinks the tall buildings are the city... they miss the greens but can't see the city offers infinite options within these buildings
@@JasonGage it's probably something with your finger or how you register it... Normally it can take a couple of tries to just register the same finger twice. Because it recognizes the finger and cancels because "this finger is already registered". So if you've managed to register the same finger 4 times, then there are three possible answers: 1) You register it in the wrong way, making it puzzle together the pattern in a weird way. 2) Your finger print is messed/scratched up from maybe working alot with your hands. Or 3) There's an internal problem with your phone
@@some_random_penguin I had no problem with my old phone and it worked fine on this phone until I got the screen protector. It must be the later. It only works now if I lick my finger and I don't want to do that
I think fingerprint you couldn't set up properly.. I was switched from 14pm to s23u.. I really like this flagship. Great camera,zooming,display,battery performance, qhd with 120hz, stereo speaker, also earpiece 👌❤️
Fingerprint sensor is perfectly fine... I've set up 4 separate fingerprints and they all work first time. If I was having a failure rate of 50 % I would re-register my fingerprint
I have always been android and went to iOS 13 pro max and 14 pro max , I don’t understand what’s so uncustomisable about them ,in some instances I find iOS better . Apps have a lot more useful widgets ,the iOS feed on the left is very customisable ,you can change wallpapers Lock Screen widgets , the icon movement is a bit annoying but that’s about all imo. The s23 ultra goes a bit over the top .
@@kevinchong1538 been on android since 2006 lol Owned a s20 ultra s21 ultra s20 fe 5g and recently returned s23 ultra , I’m bored of all the customising , prefer my phone to be a phone , I have never had a phone as big as that s23 ultra it didn’t feel like a phone to me it was a like a tablet with a sim slot
@@chrislongman8368 its a fair opinion, if u had the s20 ultra (6.9in) then this isn't even bigger. The 14pm isnt that much smaller either (its even heavier than s23u)
Your correct about people being the biggest issue switching over. 95% of my contacts are imessage, and the apple mafia with the green text is real. I switched from the 14PM last week to the S23 Ultra, and the first text to people were why did you get a android? Why do I owe an explanation, why does it matter 😒 I really believe in American imessage is the reason most people stay with Apple. Five years ago most android were laggy 💩 In the last couple years Android, high end androids, are just as smooth and stable as ios I agree about the pill, it never bothered me until using this S23 Ultra for a week. Now when I pick up the iPhone it's a distraction. Watching movies and videos is so much better on the Samsung, it doesn't stretch going full screen like the iPhone. I do have a iPad Pro with the mini led screen, so I mostly watch movies on that. I wish the S23 Ultra had a flat screen. I'm torn honestly. I think if you don't have any other Apple products S23 Ultra all the way. I think this Samsung is the better phone, is it a additional 1300 dollars better then the 14PM I just bought 3 months ago. I have 30 days to return, if I do it will he based solely on financial benefits. I think it's the better phone over all.
He does not have enough experience to give a well-detailed review of about s23U. Because most of the things he pointed out are not the case with Samsung even before 23U most of those pointed cons have been addressed. ** also don't be afraid to switch to Android because others are thinking it's weird. The only weird thing is the fact they do not know anything else apart from Apple Eco System** Other than that I like your contents 👍
If you're trying to take pictures of your kids and they're moving around too much what you can do is turn on motion photo it'll basically capture like a 1-2 seconds of video along with the photo and so if it's blurry or anything you can just go back and pick a frame that is not blurry
@@MichaelSoledad I mean fair but it can be used not just for blurry photos but say someone you're taking a picture of a blinks you can go back to where they're not blinking and take that photo instead or I take a lot of pictures from moving vehicles and at the speeds they're going you're never going to get a clear shot but like a lot of the time I can get a clear frame from this feature
I am a UX designer the only one on my team with an s22 ultra. I work with iOS everyday . Besides your mention of the fingerprint scanner (because it is user error on your part) everything you mention is true. 2 pre installed messaging apps, the time it takes for the the camera app to open up . These are just some of reasons why people think especially iphone users that android/Samsung is messy. Samsungs own icons need some major refinement. While iOS gallery icon is just a flower but it's beautifully done and iconic. While Samsungs still stuck in TouchWiz. On iOS the opacity, blurs and gradients that they use throughout thier system is just gorgeous. I'm glad you point out those details out because android fanboys don't seem to understand the psychology that goes into the work of designing icons. Owning an s22 ultra I love the phone but I appreciate the beauty of iOS. Samsung still has a lot of work to do to match that . Awesome video well done video!
UI/UX design is crucial for consumers but is always taken for granted. People poking fun of my observation simply don't understand and that's ok. (I came from a design background so Im no stranger to it.) The finger print scanner was filmed for illustrative purposes but I stand by my experience as I gain nothing by lying about it. I do have some thoughts as to why which I'll mention in a future video. Thanks for the feedback and sharing your insight!
@@MichaelSoledad well that right there with the fingerprint scanner was the Android fanboy in me that just had to come out lol. As mentioned I'm the only one on my team with a s22 so I have defend that daily. The Android fanboy in me has tamed a lot because I understand the design language of iOS . But for others not so much. Makes me realize what a douche of an Android fanboy I was before. Thanks again!
@@DoritosResidue @@DoritosResidue don't worry, I didn't take offence at your observation at all. As a matter of fact I respect it as it wasn't done disrespectfully. I decide not to comment on others who are obviously closed minded because that would be like talking to a wall. Keep doing you my friend. Thanks for the comment!
@@danish0090 I'm speaking of the design of Samsung icons. Not much has changed in the styling since TouchWiz. They don't have a grasp of using gradients like iOS does. Even more so with Google icons. iOS has it down to a science. That flat style is stale.
I had to stop the video man some of the criticisms are just pure nonsense man. The gallery icon like cmon man lol. What are we doing you can change your icon to anything you'd like . A picture frame, the statue of liberty whatever . It's up to you .
All of the things you had problems or issues with is because of what I phones don't give you which is you can customize everything to fit what you want. Display, camera, icons, sounds ,etc. Everything can be customized to create the phone you want it to be.
for me the keyboard situation is just as bad on iphones. dont even get me started on the swipe to text. also the iphone is a sharp knife when youre neck deep into apples eco system and cant seem to accept there are other devices just as good if not better than what apple makes. and the only set of people that say android is trash are those that never used a flagship. they compare apples top of the life to samsungs or other android compainies 100 dollar phones. This is coming from an iphone user by the way.
I love the fingerprint sensor, for me it's just about 100% accurate and works super fast. Tried my older note 10 + and I can't believe I delt with how annoying it was lol especially compared to this one.
Awesome perspective and review Michael! Interesting that you loaded iOS looking icons onto the Samsung 😅 glad you’re enjoying the phone and this definitely eases concerns for people who are deep into the apple ecosystem and may want to switch!
Awesome review man! I personally think Samsung's been doing a great job putting together a seamless ecosystem in the past few years, and I've ben seeing more and more people begin to notice it 😅👌🏻
You lost me at the fingerprint sensor, I've never had it fail on me at any point. My S21 ultra and now S23 ultra have been 99-100% success rate with the fingerprint sensor. You can also register the same fingerprint twice to increase efficiency. These "lifelong iPhone user tries Android" videos need to stop, they're just for clicks at this point. Tech UA-cam is beginning to stagnant.
I was an Apple user until the Note 10+ came out.. Not a great camera but it was a great phone! Now I have the S22 Ultra which has become great in 2023, the Tab S7+ & the Watch 5 Pro. Never had an issue since I switched & not going back. If you've held 1 iPhone? You pretty much held them all. It's a great marketing technique by Apple because they take your old 12 & turn it into a 14 & resell it brand-new.. Same with Samsung
I got tired of android's constant 'alpha release' feel. Sometimes sms app failed. Call app froze.. i got tired. I got iphone 6 years ago and loved it just worked. It did what i wanted and didnt really miss the random customizing and such. I tried having both iphone and z fold 3 a year ago and kinda liked the fold but. Iphone still was a better size and camera and better feel. Now i saw the s23 ultra and thought, since many iphone youtubers are ditching their iphones for it i thought ok. Ill try before switching to iphone again. And. Damn. Only thing i miss is facetime/imessage due to friends. But other than that. Love this. Everything i missed the 2 first day was a user error. I had to google the sollution and now it does everything i want plus more
Remember that samsung has the camera assistant on s23 ultra which improves significantly the shutter lag. Also, use the expert raw app which uses computational power in a better way and gives better results
The phone is definitely a sight to see. But as an iphone user, my concern about this is the tempered glass. It curves on the edges and I worry that this might affect the fingerprint scanner. Unlike face id, it just works no matter what.
@@dreadlockscayman are all kinds of tempered glass compatible with the ultrasonic fingerprint sensor? Cause I can see some with a hole directly at the sensor.
I have an iPhone 14 pro max and I have been using apple eco system for years. But I got an S23 ultra since I was really impressed by the expert raw (well, I am a photographer). I must say up to 10x the phone produces decent quality pictures. But after using it for, just less than 2 weeks, I am really disappointed because I have been having consistent WiFi issues. (And, having problems with bluetooth and LTE connectivity too, from time to time) I went to Samsung service centre (in Singapore) and all they could tell me was, "we are aware about the issues" and I (I guess every Samsung s23 ultra owner) must patiently wait until around June 2023 to get an update from Samsung to fix these issues. And the customer care guy gave me a "very valuable" advice that I should use only WiFi 5 and don't use WiFi 6. I have been using WiFi 6 for years now! (Everyone in Singapore does!) All my apple devices work perfectly with it. It's ridiculous that Samsung's flagship phone can't support WiFi 6. And I can't believe Samsung can simply get away like this. A smartphone is useless if it can't provide consistent WiFi/bluetooth/LTE connectivity. It's such a disappointment. I will never buy a Samsung phone again.
Sorry to hear that but I appreciate you sharing your experience. I just finished shooting a Day in a Life with the S23 and I'll be sharing that soon. I also have some interesting observations about the camera.
I must say, this is the very honest and fair review I've ever seen so far. I suppose once you completely explored the features of this phone, the "downside" or "badside" that you mentioned will be trimmed down significantly. I've been using Samsung since S3 series and every new series i get, especially this S23 ultra, i always need 1 whole week just to figure out every hidden features Samsung added. As of now, I'm loving the One UI 5.1 which you better check as well..
So as an Android user since the original HTC Evo I find this really interesting. A couple of years ago I decided to give the iPhone a try and got an iPhone 12 pro. It lasted almost 10 months before I the little annoyances at first became major complaints for me so much that I switched back to a Galaxy S21+
It's cute that you think the split-screen and pop-out view are experimental features. In fact, Samsung implemented those features in their OS way before Google or Android did, back during the S5. They pretty much pioneered those features, and now I can't live without them. Quick Story: the other day at the doctor's appointment, I used split screen. The top part was my old blood test results. the bottom part was my new blood test results. Instead of focusing on me, the doctor started fiddling in his iPhone 14 pro max, trying to find that feature. 😂😂😂 Sad and funny at the same time.
First time on the channel and this is a great video! I have an S23 Ultra myself, and freaking love it! Also, I really liked your lock screen video wallpaper. Where did you find it?
I'd be curious to sew a follow-up video with the Goodlock app installed. There are so many improvements made available by installing this app and it's plugins.
The fingerprint scanner is faster than ever. You have to make sure to use multiple angles and parts of your finger or thumb when setting it up. This improves accuracy.
If iphone is your preference pixel is your transition, ultra is for the ultra consumer. When you state you don't like options why would you pick up an ultra. Comparing it to simplicity is just wrong come on world. The funny part is getting it to behave exactly the way you want is possible, its just that you're not willing to learn how that's the setback. I see a lot of praise still with lack of facts of this device, but the facts will continue to surface don't worry.
Great review and very honest both OS has its strengths and weaknesses for sure. I think no matter what phone you pick these days your going to have a great device.
Great review! But have you really given up on the Apple Eco System? I see that you have the Ultra and the AirPods Pro, I’m a 14Pro Max user and I’ve been so enticed by the S23 Ultra but I’m a bit hesitant to make the switch. Do you think the S23 Ultra makes up for the things iPhones do better? 🙈
If you really appreciate the continuity of the apple ecosystem stay with them. If you're open to not having your phone communicate with your other devices then try Android. I still wore my apple watch with my android by having an Apple watch with cellular. It took me a year to just realize apple wasn't worth the price then I switched over completely.
I can never leave the apple ecosystem entirely. My workflow and life is very much intertwined with it. But if your main concern are accessories only, I’d say give it a try. Just be aware that the Apple Watch ultra will feel crippled without an iPhone or cellular plan.
@@jasparekh9 I have been using the S23U from launch day 16th Feb '23. I had a brief experience with a refurbished S22U from Amazon. The S23U is a remarkable improvement in three key areas over the last gen model. Processor, battery and heat management. It's the iPhone 13 pro Max of Samsung. Nothing too obvious but the under the hood improvements are quite noticeable. Although, my biggest gripe with the S22U and Samsung continues. The images are oversharpened which I absolutely, completely detest. It's Samsung's insultingly stubborn approach to aggressively sharpen every image and over-brighten unless you manually slide the exposure down on the camera viewfinder that makes me want to sell it and get rid of it. That's my honest review of it. You may or may not be bothered about the image processing style of Samsung.
The problems u said in galaxy phone is not serious problem but iphone having more serious problems......and also One ui is more better than ios and user experience is great when compared ios. One ui allow user to customize on their own and they giving importants to user need but in iphone still thats big problem. Yeah imessage is great some features in iphone is good, at the same time samsung also having tons of features for eg DeX, split screen, secure folder and so on... Because of few features in iphone i cant leave Android.. And switching from ios to android is so easy to use but switching from android to ios is more frustrating than u think😅
You don’t have to swipe from the top to bring down the quick settings menu. You can set it to appear by swiping down from any point on the screen and it’s great.
This is the MOST sensible and unbiased content I've ever seen comparing the IOS and Android ecosystems. Kudos! Will be following your videos mate. Cheers!
For years iPhone user tech reviewers did not have a problem to point out that the iPhone was better than other phones in the past. It seems odd that now Andriod has overtaken Apple statements like "both phones are good its a matter of preference" the main thing Apple has is status.
I have had nothing but success with the in display fingerprint sensor but what I did is register the same finger twice to make sure it was getting all areas of that finger I have loved the ultra fast fingerprint sensor since the s10 plus then my note 20 ultra and now my s23 ultra so maybe try adding a new fingerprint but use the same finger u have already registered so that way it'd getting all areas
Why have you assumed that apple has reached the pinnacle in the smartphone industry? If you have used Android platforms, then it will take 1 to 2 days when you will feel iPhone are boring.
I worked in phone stores for years and I saw this all the time. People who have issues with fingerprint sensors are never tech savvy people and they suck at creating the copy of their finger during setup
Thanks for the video. Tried iphone 13 after a decade on android. After 9 months I upgraded early to an S23 plus. I just kept running into things that iphone can't do. The absence of a status bar alone drove me nuts. Face unlock was the only thing on the phone that I really liked but I hated that notch on the iphone. There are Android phones that have face unlock with the additional 3D and IR sensors like iphone but I never owned one of those Androids. On my s3 I just disabled face unlock and used the fingerprint sensor. It works great for me. You just have to have a compatible screen protector, apply just a tad more pressure and make sure you do a good job of adding the fingerprint in the settings. I have a success rate of about 90-95%. If it doesn't read my fingerprint I just press again. Its not that big of a deal for me. You mentioned you love the extra real estate without that big ugly iphone notch. That notch is for the additional sensors that make iphone face unlock work so well. If you want smooth seamless face unlocks like on iPhone then you have to give up some space on your screen.
Shame on you for having a preference for Apple yet still diligently describing this phone from a non-biased perspective! And shame on you for having trouble with your finger print! 😅😅😅 The comment section is wildin’ out man haha. Another solid video! And yet another reason to just stay with Apple. Us Apple people are just nicer 🤷♂️
Great review! I have both the S23 Ultra and iPhone 14 Pro Max. I too have issues with the fingerprint unlock, especially my right thumb. My S22 Ultra could never recognize my right thumb, but the S23 Ultra does about 50% of the time. Question about your Apple Watch Ultra with cellular: you said you get imessages on it, whereas you get all others on the S23U? Do the imessages eventually get sent to the S23U as a regular text message, or not at all? I'm trying to figure a way to enjoy my Watch Ultra while using my S23U.
iMessage unfortunately does not get to the S23. It's completely locked to iOS which is why this is going to be the biggest pain point when switching. For me it's a mild inconvenience since I work from home and I have apple devices everywhere. Otherwise theapple watch ultra with cell works well enough when I'm out. Btw, don't admit to the finger print scanner working less than perfect lest the hardcore android folks crucify you 🤣
Correct me if I'm wrong, when I switched from 14PM my Apple watch switched to a stand alone number, meaning the number wasn't connected to the S23 Ultra. Your cell phone number either has imessage activated, or it doesn't. If your watch is a big deal you'll need to stay on iphone, unless you want it to have a different number. Your iPad, Mac, all will quit getting imessage text if you switch from iphone.
@@Imprisoned1995 yes my apple watch ultra still gets iMessage because I have it enabled across my apple devices. When I moved my esim to the S23 I still retained my number but I'm unable to receive iMessages on it. SMS messages, yes. I didn't want to leave some of my personal iMessage groups so I keep it enabled.
@Mark Graves yeah funny. I didn't think of that. But seriously, for me, I think it's my right thumb that's the issue. My S22U never worked on my right thumb. Maybe it's because my thumb has too much mileage...like an adult.
People outside US don’t use iMessage, use sms and viber or what up, it would nice have iPhone and s23 ultra, I used s20 ultra and I was very satisfied, but always return iPhone, I use 13 pro max and apps work better on iPhone, it is easyer to use iPhone with one hand.
This review just gave me the confidence to start my channel in my native language. Because you explain things with being so technical. It's a problem for other languages to cover things like processor and ram
Great video! Your discussion about the difference between the iOS vs Android ecosystem was right on. Many reviews focus on hardware specs, yet ignore critical differences in the two ecosystems. Thanks for an honest discussion about what it's like to leave the "walled garden."
Basically any problem you have with the software can be fixed easily including the fingerprint scanner by the way just take a better scan and if need be you can input the same finger twice
i am not sure why you are having trouble with unlocking with the fingerprint, I think you need to re-register your finger once they [Your fingers] and the screen is clean. Samsung uses ultrasonic fingerprint scanner on this device so it shouldn't cause much false reads unless its done under unreasonable conditions
As a person who has used iPhone for almost 10 years and iPad for 5 years, I LOVE how refreshing Android and Samsung are! I got really bored and boxed with iOS and I switched to Z Flip4 last year and I traded it in to S23 Ultra last week. If you are a person who's really deep into the Apple ecosystem, it would be really difficult for you to get out of it.
You can open the notification panel by swiping down anywhere from the homescreen, just enable it in homescreen settings, but I guess it comes so by default. And when it comes to the fingerprints... Dude, you're just doing everything wrong, and that's it, but it is kinda normal for a newbie, tutorial can help you.
I can tell he hasn't seen Android in years🤣 its like knowing about a certain type of food that you never try but when you finally try it you realize you've been missing out
I've been an iPhone user for about 10 years, and jumped ship to android about 4 weeks ago and got the S23 ultra. I'm loving the phone, it's brilliant. But...I'll probably be going back to iPhone in September. I think I'm an apple fan boy at heart 😂
No apple just controls you thats the better word for it. Its scary. I own both. But since mu s23 ultra I barely use the iPhone. It's because it's boring hahaha and I want my phone to feel like it really my phone. The iPhone looks like any other iPhone(the screen)
The biometric unlocking on my S23 Ultra is horrible... I left a One Plus 7 Pro that worked flawlessly from day one in that aspect and was 4 years old... not impressed whatsoever with the unlocking.
I made the switch too and its a great phone but I am ultimately not as happy as I was using an iPhone over the long term. The little things that iOS does better adds up every day.
the fingerprint thing you said is complete bs, and I'm using iPhone, but my whole family use samsung and I've never heard any of them complain about it EVER
I don't mind constructive criticism for both parties. This wasn't one, it feels like net nitpicking more than anything and in some cases misusing things like finger print, where basically if you enter that part of your finger you will get it open. It's like registering your front face on iPhone and wondering why it doesn't open from the side view of your face. I tried both and based and seen far better videos that shoe case the negatives of samsung better. This not one of them. Hope the next one becomes better.
i cant go iphone because all my whats app messages are saved on gmail (5years of stored messages and files). but i tried it, what your comments says on the 1st part of the video is still true if its you are an android user shifting to ios.
I’m about to switch to s23 ultra from my iPhone 14 pro max the only problem is I’m using MacBook also , any advice ? Can Samsung phone work with MacBook ? Or should I use both phones…😓
I've had my s23 ultra for a little over a week, switched from iPhone 12 pro and I love it. I didn't get the thing about Imessages, iPhone users still get my texts and thank you for mentioning the Google keyboard I hate this Samsungs. Iphone babied me that most of the time I could miss every letter of a word and somehow it still knew wtf I meant. And if it didn't recognize something, after it fail auto corrected when you delete and type the same thing it doesn't auto correct a second time so it made texting really fluid. It might be the bias of using iphones for 8+years but i could type like maniac on iphone, it takes me a bit longer to text with this which is my only problem but I'll give google keyword a shot
I like you can customize the Samsung keyboard but I use both because we have options on the android side lol. Which I have used iphones before and will say both Samsung and Google keyboards are better in comparison
Very cool! Now if we could just get support on high end accessory companies (like Grovemade phone stand) to help keep that elevated end user experience, that would be AWESOME!!

@@JordanMac79 for rcs, secure read receipt 100mb+ file sharing? it's baked into Google messages and been on samsung years well before that. Now getting that communication to an apple device is the problem through text and that's one of the reasons I'll never use their products again. They cause to many distractions and separation, They don't offer enough to justify it. Imessage doesn't mean anything to me when I look at what i can't have with the money spent. If that's what you were referring to. And for my family we share important messages through drive if needed, quick and easily and go on with our day. For the android users we share high quality messages through Google messages and samsung messages, cross compatible also.
💯
As a new android user, I found switching from Apple quite easy as everyone that I know uses WhatsApp and never iMessage, also, the process was smooth and easy to do when transferring to my new phone. Android, in my opinion, has surpassed iPhone in many areas, and using the system is so much more customisable and enjoyable over iPhone's stagnated iOS.
Yes me too. Thats the good thing of Whatsapp. You can use any phone you want.
This. I'm surprised at how iPhone fans are raving over a native messaging app. Mostly Americans I guess.
@Just for fun. 😇 talk about expensive androids
@Just for fun. 😇 yes... I don't.
Especially yours
I made this move as well. Been an iPhone guy since the iPhone 3GS. It's been an interesting transition for me as well. Took me about two weeks to get all the settings and apps set up the way I like them. Have had no issues with the finger print reader on my end. The cameras are amazing, and the customizability of the OS is out to this world!
Me too. I've never been an Android user before. It's my first time and it's been interesting as well. I'm loving the customization too. I'm using Android for almost 2 weeks and I'm doing a great job besides that I just used iOS for the past 15 years. 😅
Using your fingertip instead of your whole finger to unlock gives you a 99% success in unlocking, trust me. Also set the top quick settings menu to appear when you swipe down anywhere on the screen, super convenient.
This is just the tip of the iceberg. So much more to the S23 Ultra. So much more to Androids operating system in general. Do what you want, not what Apple wants.
The fingerprint thing is so wild to me. It takes like 30 seconds to register 2-4 fingerprints and have about a 95% success rate first try 100% second
He set them up very weirdly. Was his fault not the phones
It usually doesn't work with me when I hold my phone with the side of my finger. But the problem is mine not the phone. But I loved the Face ID. It's really a cool feature but not all the time, like when you don't want to unlock your phone.
I am sorry but iphone users switching to Samsung reminds me of villagers moving to the city and thinks the tall buildings are the city... they miss the greens but can't see the city offers infinite options within these buildings
For the fingerprint, try registering the same finger twice. It helps alot with the accuracy
I’ll try this one out!
I registered the same finger 4 times multiple times. Still no go
@@JasonGage it's probably something with your finger or how you register it... Normally it can take a couple of tries to just register the same finger twice. Because it recognizes the finger and cancels because "this finger is already registered". So if you've managed to register the same finger 4 times, then there are three possible answers: 1) You register it in the wrong way, making it puzzle together the pattern in a weird way. 2) Your finger print is messed/scratched up from maybe working alot with your hands. Or 3) There's an internal problem with your phone
@@some_random_penguin I had no problem with my old phone and it worked fine on this phone until I got the screen protector. It must be the later. It only works now if I lick my finger and I don't want to do that
@@JasonGage oh, yeah. The screen protector is definitely the problem then. Only very specific screen protectors work
I think fingerprint you couldn't set up properly..
I was switched from 14pm to s23u.. I really like this flagship. Great camera,zooming,display,battery performance, qhd with 120hz, stereo speaker, also earpiece 👌❤️
Fingerprint sensor is perfectly fine... I've set up 4 separate fingerprints and they all work first time. If I was having a failure rate of 50 % I would re-register my fingerprint
Unsure that gallery was gallery? Literally says gallery right under the icon.
literally🙄
The freedom to customize my phone specifically to me is amazing.
I have always been android and went to iOS 13 pro max and 14 pro max , I don’t understand what’s so uncustomisable about them ,in some instances I find iOS better .
Apps have a lot more useful widgets ,the iOS feed on the left is very customisable ,you can change wallpapers Lock Screen widgets , the icon movement is a bit annoying but that’s about all imo.
The s23 ultra goes a bit over the top .
@@chrislongman8368 you have yet to explore Android customization in its full glory, i guess.
@@kevinchong1538 been on android since 2006 lol
Owned a s20 ultra s21 ultra s20 fe 5g and recently returned s23 ultra , I’m bored of all the customising , prefer my phone to be a phone , I have never had a phone as big as that s23 ultra it didn’t feel like a phone to me it was a like a tablet with a sim slot
@@chrislongman8368 its a fair opinion, if u had the s20 ultra (6.9in) then this isn't even bigger. The 14pm isnt that much smaller either (its even heavier than s23u)
@@kevinchong1538 it’s heavier but the size and rounded edges feels a lot more practical for me
Your correct about people being the biggest issue switching over. 95% of my contacts are imessage, and the apple mafia with the green text is real. I switched from the 14PM last week to the S23 Ultra, and the first text to people were why did you get a android? Why do I owe an explanation, why does it matter 😒
I really believe in American imessage is the reason most people stay with Apple. Five years ago most android were laggy 💩
In the last couple years Android, high end androids, are just as smooth and stable as ios
I agree about the pill, it never bothered me until using this S23 Ultra for a week. Now when I pick up the iPhone it's a distraction.
Watching movies and videos is so much better on the Samsung, it doesn't stretch going full screen like the iPhone. I do have a iPad Pro with the mini led screen, so I mostly watch movies on that.
I wish the S23 Ultra had a flat screen. I'm torn honestly. I think if you don't have any other Apple products S23 Ultra all the way. I think this Samsung is the better phone, is it a additional 1300 dollars better then the 14PM I just bought 3 months ago. I have 30 days to return, if I do it will he based solely on financial benefits. I think it's the better phone over all.
It is indeed. Here we use Whatsapp and I can use every phone I want without problem. It's a very American problem.
@@-_YouMayFind_- it’s different a problem in America, adults act like they don’t want to respond to text with green bubbles
You’re right on! And Apple claims to be inclusive, ya right! Not when comes to profit, they’re frauds!
He does not have enough experience to give a well-detailed review of about s23U.
Because most of the things he pointed out are not the case with Samsung even before 23U most of those pointed cons have been addressed.
** also don't be afraid to switch to Android because others are thinking it's weird. The only weird thing is the fact they do not know anything else apart from Apple Eco System**
Other than that I like your contents 👍
If you're trying to take pictures of your kids and they're moving around too much what you can do is turn on motion photo it'll basically capture like a 1-2 seconds of video along with the photo and so if it's blurry or anything you can just go back and pick a frame that is not blurry
I did enable this feature which is useful as you said. Just a few extra steps I prefer not to do.
@@MichaelSoledad I mean fair but it can be used not just for blurry photos but say someone you're taking a picture of a blinks you can go back to where they're not blinking and take that photo instead or I take a lot of pictures from moving vehicles and at the speeds they're going you're never going to get a clear shot but like a lot of the time I can get a clear frame from this feature
@@nathanciminelli5900 people who blink when you're taking a photo of them are idiots.
I am a UX designer the only one on my team with an s22 ultra. I work with iOS everyday . Besides your mention of the fingerprint scanner (because it is user error on your part) everything you mention is true. 2 pre installed messaging apps, the time it takes for the the camera app to open up . These are just some of reasons why people think especially iphone users that android/Samsung is messy. Samsungs own icons need some major refinement. While iOS gallery icon is just a flower but it's beautifully done and iconic. While Samsungs still stuck in TouchWiz. On iOS the opacity, blurs and gradients that they use throughout thier system is just gorgeous. I'm glad you point out those details out because android fanboys don't seem to understand the psychology that goes into the work of designing icons. Owning an s22 ultra I love the phone but I appreciate the beauty of iOS. Samsung still has a lot of work to do to match that .
Awesome video well done video!
UI/UX design is crucial for consumers but is always taken for granted. People poking fun of my observation simply don't understand and that's ok. (I came from a design background so Im no stranger to it.) The finger print scanner was filmed for illustrative purposes but I stand by my experience as I gain nothing by lying about it. I do have some thoughts as to why which I'll mention in a future video. Thanks for the feedback and sharing your insight!
@@MichaelSoledad well that right there with the fingerprint scanner was the Android fanboy in me that just had to come out lol. As mentioned I'm the only one on my team with a s22 so I have defend that daily. The Android fanboy in me has tamed a lot because I understand the design language of iOS . But for others not so much. Makes me realize what a douche of an Android fanboy I was before. Thanks again!
@@DoritosResidue @@DoritosResidue don't worry, I didn't take offence at your observation at all. As a matter of fact I respect it as it wasn't done disrespectfully. I decide not to comment on others who are obviously closed minded because that would be like talking to a wall. Keep doing you my friend. Thanks for the comment!
Bro there is no touchwiz now
@@danish0090 I'm speaking of the design of Samsung icons. Not much has changed in the styling since TouchWiz. They don't have a grasp of using gradients like iOS does. Even more so with Google icons. iOS has it down to a science. That flat style is stale.
I had to stop the video man some of the criticisms are just pure nonsense man. The gallery icon like cmon man lol. What are we doing
you can change your icon to anything you'd like . A picture frame, the statue of liberty whatever . It's up to you .
Sorry you stopped there. You missed the entire point of the video.
All of the things you had problems or issues with is because of what I phones don't give you which is you can customize everything to fit what you want. Display, camera, icons, sounds ,etc. Everything can be customized to create the phone you want it to be.
My fingerprints work 100% of the time. I just set 2 fingerprints on each thumb
for me the keyboard situation is just as bad on iphones. dont even get me started on the swipe to text. also the iphone is a sharp knife when youre neck deep into apples eco system and cant seem to accept there are other devices just as good if not better than what apple makes. and the only set of people that say android is trash are those that never used a flagship. they compare apples top of the life to samsungs or other android compainies 100 dollar phones. This is coming from an iphone user by the way.
I love the fingerprint sensor, for me it's just about 100% accurate and works super fast. Tried my older note 10 + and I can't believe I delt with how annoying it was lol especially compared to this one.
Awesome perspective and review Michael! Interesting that you loaded iOS looking icons onto the Samsung 😅 glad you’re enjoying the phone and this definitely eases concerns for people who are deep into the apple ecosystem and may want to switch!
Awesome review man! I personally think Samsung's been doing a great job putting together a seamless ecosystem in the past few years, and I've ben seeing more and more people begin to notice it 😅👌🏻
Yeah, the ecosystem is great. If you have the money, you can expand it to be better than the apple ecosystem lol
Totally agree! It’s refreshing to be using a device that just constantly makes me want to keep exploring.
You lost me at the fingerprint sensor, I've never had it fail on me at any point. My S21 ultra and now S23 ultra have been 99-100% success rate with the fingerprint sensor. You can also register the same fingerprint twice to increase efficiency. These "lifelong iPhone user tries Android" videos need to stop, they're just for clicks at this point. Tech UA-cam is beginning to stagnant.
I was an Apple user until the Note 10+ came out.. Not a great camera but it was a great phone!
Now I have the S22 Ultra which has become great in 2023, the Tab S7+ & the Watch 5 Pro.
Never had an issue since I switched & not going back. If you've held 1 iPhone? You pretty much held them all. It's a great marketing technique by Apple because they take your old 12 & turn it into a 14 & resell it brand-new.. Same with Samsung
I got tired of android's constant 'alpha release' feel. Sometimes sms app failed. Call app froze.. i got tired. I got iphone 6 years ago and loved it just worked. It did what i wanted and didnt really miss the random customizing and such. I tried having both iphone and z fold 3 a year ago and kinda liked the fold but. Iphone still was a better size and camera and better feel. Now i saw the s23 ultra and thought, since many iphone youtubers are ditching their iphones for it i thought ok. Ill try before switching to iphone again. And. Damn. Only thing i miss is facetime/imessage due to friends. But other than that. Love this. Everything i missed the 2 first day was a user error. I had to google the sollution and now it does everything i want plus more
I can so relate. I've been an Apple fan since the Iphone 3GS. I have been doing a lot of research on S23 Ultra. This video was very helpful. Thanks!
Remember that samsung has the camera assistant on s23 ultra which improves significantly the shutter lag.
Also, use the expert raw app which uses computational power in a better way and gives better results
The phone is definitely a sight to see. But as an iphone user, my concern about this is the tempered glass. It curves on the edges and I worry that this might affect the fingerprint scanner. Unlike face id, it just works no matter what.
Reset after tempered glass install. No issues. Glass is not as curved as before so glass stays secure.
@@dreadlockscayman are all kinds of tempered glass compatible with the ultrasonic fingerprint sensor? Cause I can see some with a hole directly at the sensor.
@@Rocket-mind yes more or less all tempered glass works with this
I have an iPhone 14 pro max and I have been using apple eco system for years. But I got an S23 ultra since I was really impressed by the expert raw (well, I am a photographer).
I must say up to 10x the phone produces decent quality pictures.
But after using it for, just less than 2 weeks, I am really disappointed because I have been having consistent WiFi issues. (And, having problems with bluetooth and LTE connectivity too, from time to time)
I went to Samsung service centre (in Singapore) and all they could tell me was, "we are aware about the issues" and I (I guess every Samsung s23 ultra owner) must patiently wait until around June 2023 to get an update from Samsung to fix these issues. And the customer care guy gave me a "very valuable" advice that I should use only WiFi 5 and don't use WiFi 6.
I have been using WiFi 6 for years now! (Everyone in Singapore does!) All my apple devices work perfectly with it. It's ridiculous that Samsung's flagship phone can't support WiFi 6. And I can't believe Samsung can simply get away like this. A smartphone is useless if it can't provide consistent WiFi/bluetooth/LTE connectivity. It's such a disappointment.
I will never buy a Samsung phone again.
Sorry to hear that but I appreciate you sharing your experience. I just finished shooting a Day in a Life with the S23 and I'll be sharing that soon. I also have some interesting observations about the camera.
I must say, this is the very honest and fair review I've ever seen so far. I suppose once you completely explored the features of this phone, the "downside" or "badside" that you mentioned will be trimmed down significantly.
I've been using Samsung since S3 series and every new series i get, especially this S23 ultra, i always need 1 whole week just to figure out every hidden features Samsung added. As of now, I'm loving the One UI 5.1 which you better check as well..
So as an Android user since the original HTC Evo I find this really interesting. A couple of years ago I decided to give the iPhone a try and got an iPhone 12 pro. It lasted almost 10 months before I the little annoyances at first became major complaints for me so much that I switched back to a Galaxy S21+
This makes sense. You’ve gotten used to android and have developed a preference for it. Nothing wrong with that.
It's cute that you think the split-screen and pop-out view are experimental features. In fact, Samsung implemented those features in their OS way before Google or Android did, back during the S5. They pretty much pioneered those features, and now I can't live without them.
Quick Story: the other day at the doctor's appointment, I used split screen. The top part was my old blood test results. the bottom part was my new blood test results. Instead of focusing on me, the doctor started fiddling in his iPhone 14 pro max, trying to find that feature. 😂😂😂
Sad and funny at the same time.
It literally says experimental features on the menu.
First time on the channel and this is a great video! I have an S23 Ultra myself, and freaking love it! Also, I really liked your lock screen video wallpaper. Where did you find it?
he probably got it from samsung Themes or zedge .
I'd be curious to sew a follow-up video with the Goodlock app installed. There are so many improvements made available by installing this app and it's plugins.
You forgot to mention Samsung Dex where you can use your phone as a desktop computer on a tv or computer monitor.
Great video! Where did you find that tree wallpaper?
Where did you get that lock screen wallpaper
Talking about customization, do you use one hand operations+ ?
If not, you should try
I have not tried that one yet. Thanks for the suggestion!
@@MichaelSoledad it's to be downloaded from the galaxy store and the killer feature for power users
Why you do fingerprint unlocking? Don’t like Smartlock features?
The fingerprint scanner is faster than ever. You have to make sure to use multiple angles and parts of your finger or thumb when setting it up. This improves accuracy.
If iphone is your preference pixel is your transition, ultra is for the ultra consumer. When you state you don't like options why would you pick up an ultra. Comparing it to simplicity is just wrong come on world. The funny part is getting it to behave exactly the way you want is possible, its just that you're not willing to learn how that's the setback. I see a lot of praise still with lack of facts of this device, but the facts will continue to surface don't worry.
This was the original idea two years ago. I wanted to try the Pixel as it felt like the best Android phone at the time. I’m glad I waited though.
Why are you so biased towards the S23 Ultra?@@MichaelSoledad
Great review and very honest both OS has its strengths and weaknesses for sure. I think no matter what phone you pick these days your going to have a great device.
Samsung knights when they get mad about the one singular detail you missed ignoring the fact that you talked positively about it the most
The thumbnail and title weren’t clear enough
@@MichaelSoledad not for them 😭

Great review! But have you really given up on the Apple Eco System? I see that you have the Ultra and the AirPods Pro, I’m a 14Pro Max user and I’ve been so enticed by the S23 Ultra but I’m a bit hesitant to make the switch. Do you think the S23 Ultra makes up for the things iPhones do better? 🙈
If you really appreciate the continuity of the apple ecosystem stay with them. If you're open to not having your phone communicate with your other devices then try Android. I still wore my apple watch with my android by having an Apple watch with cellular. It took me a year to just realize apple wasn't worth the price then I switched over completely.
@@thugginndshit Appreciate your response :) I will gather some strength and go get the S23 Ultra today.
I can never leave the apple ecosystem entirely. My workflow and life is very much intertwined with it. But if your main concern are accessories only, I’d say give it a try. Just be aware that the Apple Watch ultra will feel crippled without an iPhone or cellular plan.
@@jasparekh9 I have been using the S23U from launch day 16th Feb '23. I had a brief experience with a refurbished S22U from Amazon. The S23U is a remarkable improvement in three key areas over the last gen model. Processor, battery and heat management. It's the iPhone 13 pro Max of Samsung. Nothing too obvious but the under the hood improvements are quite noticeable. Although, my biggest gripe with the S22U and Samsung continues. The images are oversharpened which I absolutely, completely detest. It's Samsung's insultingly stubborn approach to aggressively sharpen every image and over-brighten unless you manually slide the exposure down on the camera viewfinder that makes me want to sell it and get rid of it. That's my honest review of it. You may or may not be bothered about the image processing style of Samsung.
@@thugginndshit but the flagship Samsung phones are essentially the same price as the iPhones
The problems u said in galaxy phone is not serious problem but iphone having more serious problems......and also One ui is more better than ios and user experience is great when compared ios.
One ui allow user to customize on their own and they giving importants to user need but in iphone still thats big problem.
Yeah imessage is great some features in iphone is good, at the same time samsung also having tons of features for eg DeX, split screen, secure folder and so on...
Because of few features in iphone i cant leave Android..
And switching from ios to android is so easy to use but switching from android to ios is more frustrating than u think😅
You don’t have to swipe from the top to bring down the quick settings menu. You can set it to appear by swiping down from any point on the screen and it’s great.
The live wallpaper is so great, what is it?
3:14 there once was a tool called Sim ejector tool. Took 5 seconds to shift a sim card from one phone to another. Now it's a 5 minutes call.
I feel you on this
What mountain/tree wallpaper is that and where to download
This is the MOST sensible and unbiased content I've ever seen comparing the IOS and Android ecosystems. Kudos! Will be following your videos mate. Cheers!
S23 ultra has the fastest and best fingerprint sensor. Never, not even single time i felt any problem unlocking my s23 via fingerprint.
did you tried samsung DEX?
I have not. 3 weeks isn’t enough for me to fully explore this beast
No debate s23u is the best. Been a month on it and it's amazing phone.
For years iPhone user tech reviewers did not have a problem to point out that the iPhone was better than other phones in the past. It seems odd that now Andriod has overtaken Apple statements like "both phones are good its a matter of preference" the main thing Apple has is status.
What app are you using at 13:23 that has four different elements open on the screen?
It’s the Gmail Widget. I have multiple email accounts so I have four of them open in one page 😊
I have had nothing but success with the in display fingerprint sensor but what I did is register the same finger twice to make sure it was getting all areas of that finger I have loved the ultra fast fingerprint sensor since the s10 plus then my note 20 ultra and now my s23 ultra so maybe try adding a new fingerprint but use the same finger u have already registered so that way it'd getting all areas
Why have you assumed that apple has reached the pinnacle in the smartphone industry? If you have used Android platforms, then it will take 1 to 2 days when you will feel iPhone are boring.
90% of users afraid of being a green bubble! I thought Apple was about being inclusive🤔 ya right! And I’m a 13 Pro Max user…go figure.
Are you related to Jaime Rivera of PocketNow lol, great video.
No but I have to look up that channel now :D THank you!
My fingerprint works 100% of the time. I notice most of the complaints the "iPhone switchers" have are user error
Answer me this
As an all round media device that equals any business task
Is the iPhone 14 Pro ( Max ) brilliant
Yes or no ?
I worked in phone stores for years and I saw this all the time. People who have issues with fingerprint sensors are never tech savvy people and they suck at creating the copy of their finger during setup
Amazing the narrative people make up in their heads simply because one tech doesn’t work for another.
Thanks for the video. Tried iphone 13 after a decade on android. After 9 months I upgraded early to an S23 plus. I just kept running into things that iphone can't do. The absence of a status bar alone drove me nuts. Face unlock was the only thing on the phone that I really liked but I hated that notch on the iphone. There are Android phones that have face unlock with the additional 3D and IR sensors like iphone but I never owned one of those Androids. On my s3 I just disabled face unlock and used the fingerprint sensor. It works great for me. You just have to have a compatible screen protector, apply just a tad more pressure and make sure you do a good job of adding the fingerprint in the settings. I have a success rate of about 90-95%. If it doesn't read my fingerprint I just press again. Its not that big of a deal for me. You mentioned you love the extra real estate without that big ugly iphone notch. That notch is for the additional sensors that make iphone face unlock work so well. If you want smooth seamless face unlocks like on iPhone then you have to give up some space on your screen.
Shame on you for having a preference for Apple yet still diligently describing this phone from a non-biased perspective! And shame on you for having trouble with your finger print! 😅😅😅
The comment section is wildin’ out man haha. Another solid video! And yet another reason to just stay with Apple. Us Apple people are just nicer 🤷♂️
Great review! I have both the S23 Ultra and iPhone 14 Pro Max. I too have issues with the fingerprint unlock, especially my right thumb. My S22 Ultra could never recognize my right thumb, but the S23 Ultra does about 50% of the time.
Question about your Apple Watch Ultra with cellular: you said you get imessages on it, whereas you get all others on the S23U? Do the imessages eventually get sent to the S23U as a regular text message, or not at all? I'm trying to figure a way to enjoy my Watch Ultra while using my S23U.
iMessage unfortunately does not get to the S23. It's completely locked to iOS which is why this is going to be the biggest pain point when switching. For me it's a mild inconvenience since I work from home and I have apple devices everywhere. Otherwise theapple watch ultra with cell works well enough when I'm out.
Btw, don't admit to the finger print scanner working less than perfect lest the hardcore android folks crucify you 🤣
Correct me if I'm wrong, when I switched from 14PM my Apple watch switched to a stand alone number, meaning the number wasn't connected to the S23 Ultra. Your cell phone number either has imessage activated, or it doesn't. If your watch is a big deal you'll need to stay on iphone, unless you want it to have a different number. Your iPad, Mac, all will quit getting imessage text if you switch from iphone.
@@Imprisoned1995 yes my apple watch ultra still gets iMessage because I have it enabled across my apple devices. When I moved my esim to the S23 I still retained my number but I'm unable to receive iMessages on it. SMS messages, yes. I didn't want to leave some of my personal iMessage groups so I keep it enabled.
Just delete your fingerprints and try again like an adult. It's not hard.
@Mark Graves yeah funny. I didn't think of that. But seriously, for me, I think it's my right thumb that's the issue. My S22U never worked on my right thumb. Maybe it's because my thumb has too much mileage...like an adult.
People outside US don’t use iMessage, use sms and viber or what up, it would nice have iPhone and s23 ultra, I used s20 ultra and I was very satisfied, but always return iPhone, I use 13 pro max and apps work better on iPhone, it is easyer to use iPhone with one hand.
You don't have to swipe from the top of the screen to access notification shade, anywhere on the screen swipe down.
Omg you're right! Thanks for the tip
Please share the link for that animated lock screen wallpaper with the diagonal lines.
This review just gave me the confidence to start my channel in my native language. Because you explain things with being so technical. It's a problem for other languages to cover things like processor and ram
You definitely should!
Great video! Your discussion about the difference between the iOS vs Android ecosystem was right on. Many reviews focus on hardware specs, yet ignore critical differences in the two ecosystems. Thanks for an honest discussion about what it's like to leave the "walled garden."
Basically any problem you have with the software can be fixed easily including the fingerprint scanner by the way just take a better scan and if need be you can input the same finger twice
i am not sure why you are having trouble with unlocking with the fingerprint, I think you need to re-register your finger once they [Your fingers] and the screen is clean. Samsung uses ultrasonic fingerprint scanner on this device so it shouldn't cause much false reads unless its done under unreasonable conditions
yeah thats one thing i dislike is the apps asking you to rate them.
No. You turn off iMessage before you switch, and your texts come as texts all the time.
As a tech reviewer you should know this.
You can disable iMessage in the settings, that way there isn’t much of an issue with missing new messages.
As a person who has used iPhone for almost 10 years and iPad for 5 years, I LOVE how refreshing Android and Samsung are! I got really bored and boxed with iOS and I switched to Z Flip4 last year and I traded it in to S23 Ultra last week. If you are a person who's really deep into the Apple ecosystem, it would be really difficult for you to get out of it.
You can open the notification panel by swiping down anywhere from the homescreen, just enable it in homescreen settings, but I guess it comes so by default.
And when it comes to the fingerprints... Dude, you're just doing everything wrong, and that's it, but it is kinda normal for a newbie, tutorial can help you.
I can tell he hasn't seen Android in years🤣 its like knowing about a certain type of food that you never try but when you finally try it you realize you've been missing out
Never had one finger print failure on m s23 ultra weird
I've been an iPhone user for about 10 years, and jumped ship to android about 4 weeks ago and got the S23 ultra. I'm loving the phone, it's brilliant. But...I'll probably be going back to iPhone in September. I think I'm an apple fan boy at heart 😂
No apple just controls you thats the better word for it. Its scary. I own both. But since mu s23 ultra I barely use the iPhone. It's because it's boring hahaha and I want my phone to feel like it really my phone. The iPhone looks like any other iPhone(the screen)
@DodeDonut haha that's true, that's why I switched, because I got bored of the iPhone, it's became stale now I think, they need to switch things up.
You definitely set up fingerprint wrong. Samsung's under screen fingerprint readers are fantastic so long as you don't have a thick screen protector.
Try to update your phone. There’s a new update that was released. It will make it so much faster for the shutter speed
The biometric unlocking on my S23 Ultra is horrible... I left a One Plus 7 Pro that worked flawlessly from day one in that aspect and was 4 years old... not impressed whatsoever with the unlocking.
I made the switch too and its a great phone but I am ultimately not as happy as I was using an iPhone over the long term. The little things that iOS does better adds up every day.
You should've had include Samsung dex great video
also as far as I know if you turn off the scene optimizer it will get rid of the weird saturation and colors as well as the shutter lag
the fingerprint thing you said is complete bs, and I'm using iPhone, but my whole family use samsung and I've never heard any of them complain about it EVER
Your opinion will have more weight if you own the phone and not your family members. But I appreciate the input.
I don't mind constructive criticism for both parties.
This wasn't one, it feels like net nitpicking more than anything and in some cases misusing things like finger print, where basically if you enter that part of your finger you will get it open.
It's like registering your front face on iPhone and wondering why it doesn't open from the side view of your face.
I tried both and based and seen far better videos that shoe case the negatives of samsung better. This not one of them.
Hope the next one becomes better.
As someone who uses both the gestures are virtually the same…. You can remove the app drawer on the ultra so it’s exactly like IOS
i cant go iphone because all my whats app messages are saved on gmail (5years of stored messages and files).
but i tried it, what your comments says on the 1st part of the video is still true if its you are an android user shifting to ios.
Hey what's your wallpaper app ?
I remember when I was in Apples prison walls and felt like this guy do. 😂😂 But dude you're locked 🔒 in so just stick with Apple.
I’m about to switch to s23 ultra from my iPhone 14 pro max the only problem is I’m using MacBook also , any advice ? Can Samsung phone work with MacBook ? Or should I use both phones…😓
im pretty locked in with googles services myself so i doubt i will ever stray from google and Samsung phones.
@@a-terrible-fate532 what kind of Google service
@@ychu9432 google maps, chrome, google play services which is needed to save game data etc.
DId you really had problem with finger print reading? I have a s23 and for me is almost perfect.
You don't get iMessages? I don't think I've had that problem. Are you asked to turn it off as an Apple user sending a text to Samsung users?
I've had my s23 ultra for a little over a week, switched from iPhone 12 pro and I love it. I didn't get the thing about Imessages, iPhone users still get my texts and thank you for mentioning the Google keyboard I hate this Samsungs. Iphone babied me that most of the time I could miss every letter of a word and somehow it still knew wtf I meant. And if it didn't recognize something, after it fail auto corrected when you delete and type the same thing it doesn't auto correct a second time so it made texting really fluid. It might be the bias of using iphones for 8+years but i could type like maniac on iphone, it takes me a bit longer to text with this which is my only problem but I'll give google keyword a shot
Just downloaded gboard and it's actually amazing not gonna lie
I like you can customize the Samsung keyboard but I use both because we have options on the android side lol. Which I have used iphones before and will say both Samsung and Google keyboards are better in comparison
He's very honest and straight to the point 👍
Very cool! Now if we could just get support on high end accessory companies (like Grovemade phone stand) to help keep that elevated end user experience, that would be AWESOME!!
We already have it.
@@whatsgoodmyguy4391 . From what company, for Samsung specifically?
@@Blitz0065 Samsung for one.. Anker there are plenty of excellent devices that work with All of the Samsung products. Stop paying the apple tax
@@whatsgoodmyguy4391 I'm familiar with Anker but not intimately. What I want to see is more widespread aesthetically pleasing accessories. Form AND function!
@@Blitz0065 Yes and there are thousands of them and who gives a crap. That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard... That's like saying you would rather have honda then a Lamborghini because there are more third party accessories for the Honda !!!!
