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

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.

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.

Great video! Where did you find that tree wallpaper?

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 KZread is beginning to stagnant.

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.

What mountain/tree wallpaper is that and where to download

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 👍

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 live wallpaper is so great, what is it?

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.

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? 🙈

The images are oversharpened which I absolutely, completely detest.

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

You can disable iMessage in the settings, that way there isn’t much of an issue with missing new messages.

Do you not know imessage reverts to text message when texting an android?

Hey what's your wallpaper app ?

Very well done review. Very honest as well. I would say this though. Watch videos on tips for the SPEN usage. You will understand why you chose the ultra over the S23+. There are a few other things you can do with the pen. Trust me on that. Othrwise great video adn thanks for at least giving Android a chance.

so which one will be your daily driver :_??

S23 Ultra 😊

My fingerprints work 100% of the time. I just set 2 fingerprints on each thumb

Samsung knights when they get mad about the one singular detail you missed ignoring the fact that you talked positively about it the most

You clearly don't understand how to use wifi calling on the S23 Ultra. You push one button in the settings and it automatically works every time you have wifi available.

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."

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.

iMessages on your watch is going to get old really fast. Reply from the watch or do you send a new SMS from S23? Plus, no notifications on your watch from your S23.

If imessage keeping people from trying something new or better then they need to examine themselves.

Where I can download live wallpaper shows in your video?

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.

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😅

If "This isn't what I'm used to so i dont like it." was a review. And how others view your android doesn't effect the functionality of the device. I'm not sure why that was included to begin with.

I think you missed the point of the video but I appreciate you watching.

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.

Greay review but you definitely couldn't have set up your fingerprints the correct way to have this bad of a success rate. I've never had any issues with my fingerprints. I have 2 sets for each thumb

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.

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.

yeah thats one thing i dislike is the apps asking you to rate them.

Face recognition does a better job than an ultrasonic fingerprint? Did I just hear that right? 😂😂😂😂😂 😂 😂

Try to update your phone. There’s a new update that was released. It will make it so much faster for the shutter speed

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.

Why are you so biased towards the S23 Ultra?@@MichaelSoledad

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.
