@@ThatGuy-qg4wwI’ve got an s24U as well and although it’s better than the previous s23, it doesn’t hold a candle to an iPhone, any iPhone.
My 15 pro max is perfectly fine and runs really well. Battery life has been perfectly fine. I end the day with anywhere between 50-55 percent. This is with mixed use (no gaming) maps, text, music, calling, social media. I only run games at night before bed.

This video popped up on my feed and I clicked on it I considered getting the iPhone 15 pro max but didn't I don't have big hands at all I got the iPhone 15 it's my personal phone I have a s22 ultra I use for work due to the fact I'm from NYC and I work for the state of NY it's required to give a number android it is. Also a few months ago my third son had bad infection tooth took him to NY Presbyterian hospital in flushing NY and everyone in that hospital uses a iPhone I asked why they said it's more secure I asked what about Android I was told no due to the fact it's easily compromised.
I hate rocking a case on the natural titanium because it looks so good. Only screen protectors I used and take off occasionally is the privacy one. Cameras are good, not like my 23u in which I more prefer. My iPhone gets slightly warm too. The battery sucks. I heard it from other people too. On some days nearly 8 hours until it hits 25% feels like I’m on a regular 15. Also seems to drain overnight. Looking forward to Mondays iOS 18 announcement and the 16 pro in September. May switch to the regular pro instead of the max. I really love the s23Ultra and don’t think it’s worth upgrading to the 24u. If it wasn’t for my Apple Watch, AirPods and the now me being a huge fan of MagSafe….. Damn Apple lol

That’s very good
I'm considering to sell my S23 Ultra to get the iPhone 15 Pro Max. Had before the 14 Pro Max and had no issue, even the battery was amazing. Now the S23 U is great but has many cons like battery life, it's very very poor. Have SoT of 5h and that's with Eco on 🥺. My 14PM had 10/11h doing the same. S Pen is great and maybe the only feature I would miss. Camera wise, I can't say Samsung is better. Moving objects get blurry even with all the tweaks and shutter speed...
Still rocking an iPhone 13 mini. Apple needs to bring it back! 🐬
I tried iphone and OMG, theyre so restrictive and awkward to use . Android is much more straightforward and intuitive to use . Obviously apple have a few things working in their favor, good build quality ( generally) and pretty good batteries, good ecosystem too - if you like their devices

There really aren’t any other phones they “do better” the iPhone is the absolute nest all rounder out there. Android tried hard to compete and they aren’t bad, they sucked me into purchasing an s24U this year and I regret it so much… the cameras of the s24U are horrible for a phone of this price… user experience, eh… it hangs up and glitches when it shouldn’t , my iPhone doesn’t do that.

Same for my s24 ultra. This will be my last samsung since s9. My s24 ultra cameras are horrible specially in low light and portraits. Also it always puts a snapchat filter in every photo which cant be turned off and photos look trash in viewfinder. It also doesnt keep to a stable 60 fps whereas my friends iphone is always smooth and A17 pro is much better than 8 gen 3 according to my research and sources and customer service is trash. UI isnt that polished. Only thing I loved is the S pen, the Goodlock customisation and Dex mode though

Its because samsung pays them to make up their words about selling their phones. They just get a free phone from samsung and gives them words to tell about. But youtubers know that which phone is the best and keeps the best phone to theirs. Now think samsung isnt that best as what youtubers are saying. Iphones are best except for some features, the Dex mode, 3rd party apps and customisations( even IOS 18 is having customisations)
Good screen but not the best. We know Samsung makes there screens they will never give them the best screens

First day i go to update and change apps twice, come back the the update acreen just a blank gray app. Uad to retaart it. Never had these issues on the ihpone. Man i miss autocorrect too i need that shit as touchpad keyboards are crap. The s24u miggt hace all these cool mostly useless "usability" but even my ihpone x had a better screen for color gradients. This screen is nicce and big but whats the point its legit dog doodoo, you can see different color on walls as "shade" i wish ivcould return this poop bar, the stupid discounts got me to buy it. Nope not even worth it at 950, but i think my problemvis with android too. My phone came with 2 messaging aps, why dovivneed 2? All i need is my text messages like wtf. Also the camera isnworse than the iphone x in anything other then standard shot. Zoom in 2x and it looks blurry af, iphone x put it to shame and its like 7 years older.
