You should get a “smartthings” hub. Makes organizing your Samsung stuff way better . And you can do automations stuff. And it can do stuff like show a notification on your tv when your microwave finishes, or your stove finishes etc. it’s cool .

Swapped from iphone 15 pro max to S24 ultra. So there is an iphone and apple watch hole in my apple ecosystem. Strange not having all the same but slowly getting used to working a mix of apple and android products. I dont want to completely go into another ecosystem but loving the change from iphone to s24 ultra.

As a Xiami user, I just have to laugh a little at 45W "fast charging" ^^ My Xiaomi 13T Pro charges completely with 120W in under 30 minutes haha. But I also decided to switch to Samsung Galaxy with the S24 Ultra. I signed the new contract today and am just waiting for my device until it is finally delivered 😊

Switched too....all in on the S24U, Tab S9U and the Galaxy Watch Series 6 - Loving every moment of them all!

I have a Galaxy Fold 4 that I keep around as an alternate device, but I'm all integrated with Apple otherwise (Mac Studio, MacBook Pro, three iPhones for personal and work, iPad, Apple Watch). The Galaxy Fold has kept its value mainly because of the screen size and stylus. I would love to play with the S24, but the only use case for it is replacing my personal use iPhone 14 Max/Apple Watch. That's not happening. Galaxy Watch just wasn't good enough the last time that I tried. In short, it's still all about the ecosystem.

Any thoughts on Vivid mode not working? Settings-->Display-->Screen Mode-->Vivid isn't doing anything. It's just Natural (even when vivid is selected), and most people switch from Natural when they get their Samsung phone.

Thanks! Make sure you're subscribed as I have more S24 content scheduled. Best S24 Accessories in the next couple of weeks and then, following that, a 30 days later review :)

I’ve been an iPhone user since the 5 and I’ve been really intrigued by the s24 Ultra. I currently have a 14 pro max and I just feel like I’m ready for a change. I’m just afraid I’ll switch and hate it. But I really really want something new and Apple just seems stagnant. Did you enjoy the switch? How are the apps on an android? I’ve always read that some of them run worse on android.

I switched to s24 ultra two days now and it looks gorgeous and snappy

How do these cycles work? A quick search returns tons of tech youtubers "giving up their iphone", repeatedly, every phone release cycle. Do they use an iphone alternative for a few weeks and then go back to the iphone only to switch again with another alternative is released?

I have an iPhone and have been a user for the past 7 years. I’ve been debating on converting back to Android because I don’t use 90% of Apple features (I don’t even know what most of them are), I HATE the watches, the App Store is horrendous, and the photo app doesn’t offer many options for editing photos. I’m doing a decent amount of research before making such a plunge. I have a Samsung tv (amazing), a MacBook, an iPad, and a watch that’s collecting dust on the floor. From what I’ve been seeing, the AI, the lack of reflection, and the photo editing capabilities plus the virtually unlimited possibilities for customization are really influencing my opinion to switch back to Android. I jumped on the Apple bandwagon years ago and thought I’d never look back. Years later, here I am knocking on Samsung’s door.

Pete, do you also noticed the grain effect on the screen? Like me and many other s24 ultra owner experience grainy screen. Also i have a A34 5G as back up, and that phone has grain effect on the screen as well. Really weird, like the internet (mostly Reddit) is full of it.

7:40 Can the AI record a phone call and summarise it? It would be really handy if I could have that when an architect calls me and I am not at my desk (I'm a structural engineer) so that I have a summary of what we discussed at the end of that call that I can refer back to when I'm in the office.

Hello Pete, are Google Wallet / Pay issues fixed in the S24? In your S23 video you highlighted this as the biggest caveat vs Apple Pay. I'm an iPhone user myself and I'm considering the S24, but Apple Pay is essential for me! It would be great to know your thoughts. Cheers!

compare DEX as well with the older phones?

We all know that the watch is going to bring you back to Apple lol

I tried with the S23 Ultra, which I still have, but the bugs, lag and lack of steadiness that I'm experiencing on Android 14, makes me cringe. I've been using my Pixel 8 Pro much more and is my secondary currently, as my iPhone 14 Pro is still my main driver, it just works. Reliable operating system. Obviously it lacks the customization of my S23 Ultra and Pixel 7 Pro, so I guess I have the best of all 3 world's 🌍. Don't see myself at this point, needing to upgrade to the S24 Ultra, 16 Pro or Pixel 9 Pro. Enjoy the advancement of mobile technology.

Good grief… the amount of comments concerned that you’ll go back to iPhone in October… You’re a tech reviewer, who the f..k cares, haha. You, at least, are great at experimenting and giving yourself a good chance at learning the ins and outs. Here for this experiment… and won’t pay you out when you start your next experiment. It’s true that still having an iPhone available as a back up, when you’re used to the Apple ecosystem, prevents you from working out how to do things differently, change that memory muscle, and find a different way. It took me 6 months back in 2020 to no longer feel buyers remorse when I actually traded in my iPhone for a Samsung. I eventually forgot habits, which had been replaced with new habits and new muscle memory and lots of trial and error in how to get my Samsung phone and iPad to nicely play together. 4 years later, and wiser, I just try not to fall into any walled garden anymore, preferring to be free to operate any device and prefer to think of ecosystems as super-ecosystems because they actually do play nicely together when you work that out.
