Apple doesn't allow you to use the phone the way you want it, it wants you to use it the way they want it.
Exactly lol
The iPhone does all the fundamental things way better than any other android
@Julie GC Nah, they fuck up the most basic things. Lack of basic functions such as split screen and native dual app integration, lack of interoperability with other platforms, lack of function customization to suit user's usage.
Yes, it can make calls and send messages, amazing fundamentals.
The fact is that they have been slacking big time on iOS development and deliberately left out the most fundamental functionalities to make their device only interoperable with their own.
Just like how they're going to mess up the IP15 USB C port by enforcing MFI restrictions on it just to make bucks out of it, it sucks to be an apple user these days when all apple does is remove and restrict functionality on their devices :)
@@HSGG_ as someone who owns both the 14 pro max and s23 ultra I will have to disagree with you. I’ve never used any of those extra features that comes with owning a Samsung like s pen or even split screen. They’re useless to the majority and are only important to the 1% which is you. Being an apple user is actually great you have way better 3rd party app support, better battery , better build quality and better customer support. All things android manufacturers fail to do, if 1 apple device gets an update they all get an update unlike android were updates are all over the place. iPhones masters features whereas android gives you a bunch of useless garbage. Who in their right mind is actually going to use dex? Your battery swells up after a year of use and I know this because it happened to me and multiple other people I know. Video quality on androids is pure garbage compared to iPhones and that is a fact. How is apple the best selling smartphone company and they don’t even sell budget phones like all these android manufacturers do? Android left a bad taste in a lot of people’s mouths over the years with their inconsistent software and cost cutting ways.
@@julieeagle3 it doesn't seem you own and use an s23 ultra after reading what you just said...
I've been using the s23 ultra for 4 days. I struggled a little bit at the beginning since I was an iPhone user, but once you get over it, the s23 ultra just kills it. Nice work Samsung
Nice! Glad you are enjoying it!
I switched to iphone from android and realizing the limitations you have!! Cant even edit a number before dialing in dialler unless you save it as a contact!! No way to switch sim for calling unless you default it! Big bulky notch in display and rounded corners, superslow charging!! Pissed off
S23U is a true beast!!!
How it is going with S23U 3week later
@@masterx05 amazing
I really be trying hard not to use this phone and stick to my 14PM, mainly because of homekit. Before I know it, I've spent the whole day not even thinking abouty iPhone. Idk what trickery Samsung does with their screens but man it's just gorgeous. The entire device is very smooth. My 14PM lags here and there, this doesn't. The camera system is the most powerful and versatile there is. One UI being built for large screens is amazing. The battery life is beyond great. This phone is the goat
Well said, I feel like if apple were to better optimize the UI and OS for the bigger phones it would be a closer race
I have long said if I could have Nova and Android’s notification/quick settings on iOS i would have my dream phone. Nova’s options for customizing Home Screen UX is stellar and makes iOS looks like a phone designed for children.
The best solution apple could implement is a “power user mode.” Throw up some big warning about how modifying certain settings may have unintended effects. But give us the choice to activate a good lock mode, so to speak, and let users show you how much better iOS could be. I still prefer using most apps on iOS and feel like they’re more stable and issues are more rapidly addressed than their android counterparts, but if it weren’t for iMessage and iCloud iPhoto’s I would never have left my Note10+. I would just be using this new Ultra phone. Easy.
Trickery, more like they just give you 2023 quality instead of 2013 specs 😂😂
This is largely due to the s23 ultra having a consistent 120hz display while the 14 Pro Max (this is my current phone) stays at 60hz most of the time.
Yes, ios has promotion but it only actually reaches 120hz when you scroll really fast (like in wikipedia or long google searches) or when select apps enable it (which is very rare).
Whereas the s23 ultra (and literally every other android flagship out now) keeps it consistent at 120hz.
Before buying my 14 pro max, I came from the POCO X3 Pro which had a 120hz screen. I kept it turned on all the time and it was so jarring to me once I used my iPhone. If you have an iphone 14PM and a flagship android phone, enable the 120hz in the android and then use a screen refresh rate monitor to see for yourself. 60hz for iphone and 120hz for android flagship
@@hoshikuzuvenus a while back I had a OnePlus 7t and to this day, that phone still feels more smooth and fluid than my 14PM. I got to use it again recently and it still feels better than this iPhone. It’s so disappointing.
Was a long-time Apple iPhone user for 15 years. I finally traded in my iPhone 13 Pro Max for this Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra. I have to say, I couldn't agree more with your review of this phone. I love everything about it. The camera, multitasking features, s pen, gaming, etc. Don't know what took me so long, I'm just glad I switched over. Probably won't be going back to Apple anytime soon lol..
How did you manage to escape apples eco system lol
@@Dalton_Parker you don’t. Buy an iphone 13 mini lol. Here’s the deal. For what iphone does. It does it better. Been using a z fold 4 and as good as the device is. If we go 1 to 1 on what iphone does. It mostly across the board does this better. The only downside to iPhones is androids do more. But if you are not a user that actually does more. Then iphone can’t be beat. So there is a lot of folks that don’t do this ‘more’ that android offers. For them apple is best.
@Dalton Parker lol it's called buying another phone 😅
@@Dalton_Parker you have to get out device by device, not all at once. I replaced my MacBook with a PC recently and I don’t miss macOS at all after using it since 2007. When I’m ready to replace my iPhone i may get a Samsung.
So basically what you’re saying is that you downgraded your profession from a doctor to a plumber. 😂😂😂
Hey Dalton, give swipe gestures a go, similar to iPhone gestures. Android has a universal back gesture - swipe in from either the right or the left, no need to reach across the screen.
Yooo and you can do it from the right side of the screen this is sick haha
@@Dalton_Parker Back gesture works from both left and right side of the screen 😋
iPhone could never haha
@Dalton Parker yeah I was gonna say this. You get even better screen area with gestures.
I'd stick with just a simple tap to perform the same thing as swiping across the screen.
I honestly wish all iphone users were as open minded and sincere as you!!! After 10yrs I left iPhone for Samsung because yes... They are innovating!
Haha thank you! The only thing that happens when you are close minded is, you miss out on amazing things that you would’ve otherwise not missed out on if you would’ve been open minded!
I absolutely love my s23 ultra 😍 I've been getting 9 hours screen on time easy with % left over. Multitasking on this beast just can't be beat.
The screen on time is absolutely insane!!! It’s so good haha, do you also use the AOD?
Lucky you I only get 3 to four hours 😂 I don't know why
@@gintaraslaurinaitis5830 faulty
@@cliverosfield69 I will try to take it back and get replacement if it's possible.
@@gintaraslaurinaitis5830 gud
The new Snapdragon chipset they placed on the S23 ultra is a game changer regarding battery life compared to the old S21 ultra. TikTok doesn't kill it as fast either. I have put this phone to work & it is holding far better than I had expected. I'm glad I waited 2 years to upgrade
Yeah it’s wild the battery is this good
They clearly put in significant work optimizing the new Snapdragon. And the AI managing the battery has gotten extremely good as well.
Finally a LEGIT reviewer! ✔️
Thank you so much 🙏
I upgraded last week from a Note 10+ to the S23 Ultra and love it. The only possible criticism I have is that it's heavier than the Note 10+ (specs say 1.34 oz.) and I notice that - but you're getting more (esp battery) and I can live with that.
The battery life seriously blows me away
If you enable developer options you can turn the animations down to .5 seconds and it makes everything feel even more snappy,
Also if you ever wanted to try gestures, they're great with android and one ui. Feel super snappy and swiping on the side of the screen to go back is so nice.
Also adaptive battery let's you set which apps you want to keep from sleeping, but also let's you manually put apps into deep sleep, where they will never run in the background unless you open them and are using them.
On multitasking, you can replace a computer with your phone, all you need is a USB hub, monitor and keyboard. The laptops they give us at work suck, using my phone I can get my work done faster and I'm also still on my phone. Win win.
I actually have a video coming out tomorrow about the animations :) very helpful
All my animations are at 0. Every I get a new ish android I put it to 0
in fact if you need to put animations to zero, you dont need developer options enabled. Samsung added this option in the normal configs.
That’s it!! Im getting this!! Ive been contemplating between IPhone 14 models or Ultra.! Im Sold! Thanks for your video! 😊
You will love it :D When are you planning on getting it?
You won't regret it mate blows the iPhone out the water in every way
@@Dalton_Parker soooon!
It's such a good phone
This is the way
I was Apple all the way, till 10 years ago. I went samsung and I never looked back.
It was like another world to explore with customising everything and also not having to buy 30sec ringtones among downloading anything like a computer.
I thing android is definitely for the computer Savvy types and Apple phones are good for the older generation like my father in law who only does basic stuff on phones. More user friendly for him.
I currently have the zflip 4 and I'm actually not enjoying this phone, with the screen cracking the screen protector all the time and battery life. S23 ultra is my next phone and I can not wait.
I switched from my iphone 14 pro max to the S23 ultra. So far so good! Getting a lot of hate for being on thr green bubble lol
I swear if android had iMessage apple would lose a ton of people lol
What’s the difference a text is a text does the same thing not a reason to stay with iOS
@@samanthabarker6907 Sadly in the USA, people (mostly teenagers), get bullied if they dont own an iphone hence the green bubble thing. This topic in todays generation is very complicated so kids try to not get excluded from what they think its "normal and cool". Its more a cultural thing that does not happen everywhere else (maybe Canada is similar tho im not sure). Here in Latin America is somewhat similar, but not bullying level. Is more like having an iPhone as a sign of "Status" for most people. As per messaging we use Whatsapp so we couldnt care less about imessage, same thing happens in Europe for example, iPhone owners indeed use Whatsapp over imessage and Android is more present too as per poblation %.
Long story short, in general theres a stigma about using Android in the USA that apple obviously take advantage of it and keep encouraging people to use their ecosystem and nothing else, convincing that theres nothing better and that their wellbeing or life quality will depend on it
How do you switch? Like you trade it in or return it?
Hi Dalton, there is an option in Always on display settings to show it when you have new notifications. I personally keep it that way, it only lights up for new messages and other notifications. And you can also set routine to turn it off during sleeping hours ✌️
That’s a good idea! I love learning all these little things to make this phone better!
iPhone user since 3GS and traded my 12 pro max to this and I'm really loving it. Definitely takes time to get used to when you've been invested into Apple for so long, but this is like an actual PC in your pocket and I'm loving it. The option to change the resolution to 1440p is incredible. I'm probably transitioning from the Apple eco to Samsung. Good review. I like that you're short and simple. I see 20+ minute reviews and it's tiresome, so this length was great. Keep it up man
Thank you so much for the kind words 🙏
Not sure if you'll read this but I'm curious how you feel about the switch nowadays? I'm in the process of choosing which eco system to commit to and I'm on the edge. Any info would be greatly appreciated!
@Zephan Villegas honestly, I have zero complaints. It's a really good phone. I love having the option to multitask. I can shop Amazon while watching RUclips, and that's just one example of that. I will not lie, I miss the blue bubble and being able to communicate from apple to apple and how they set that up but overall, being a couple months in, I'm sticking to samsung for a while. Oh and the camera is way superior
That's how apple keeps you tied to their stuff. No matter how good any Android phone is you will always go back to the walled garden because of how integrated it is. It's part of the reason Apple has such high brand loyalty. I prefer to use whatever device are the best for me regardless of who supplies them.
True
I've been an iPhone user almost exclusively since the 3GS with my only Galaxy experience being the S3 for a couple years. My 23 Ultra is coming today and I am so excited!
That’s what’s up!!! You are gonna love it! Is it gonna be a secondary device or are you switching?
@@Dalton_Parker I was up for an upgrade so im just switching completely 😁
@@Harleigh_19 cool switched to S23 plus myself from oppo find x 3 pro lovin it tbh phone is very smooth
How do you like it?
With the S pen, you can also take selfies with if you want to set it at a distance instead of using a timer count down which is super neat feature!
The biggest disappointment for me when it comes to people talking about the Spen is that photo editing (which is a big part of the camera user experience). Photo editing details and such with an spen is far superior than using our own fat fingers to try and edit details like pimpls and other unwanted objects. Or using masking techniques for editing is far superior with the spen. And lets be real most people want to edit their photos easily but as controlled as possible at the same time. The spen is SLEPT on. Not to mention everyone needs to give samsungs handwriting to text a try... it will blow your mind
Thank you for these tips. Will definitely be trying.
my wife is an object eraser monster on her S23U. yes, so much better than using your fingers.
Great for making memes
This is my regret! I just bought an iPad with the pencil online while I have an old Samsung. So when it’s time to buy a new phone I might as well get an iPhone since I have the iPad. But I’ve seen the S23 ultra in stores (now we’re more allowed to go out) and it’s gorgeous! But I don’t think i can leave Apple any time soon since I’ve invested so much money already
And one more thing, i like the s8 tab with the pen more because it has a softer tip
The apple cage got you 😂. I sold all my apple prodcucts and made the whole jump and holy cow it’s amazing :o
How did you do it lol
All of it? Windows 11 is utter garbage. Why would you switch from macOS to Windows?
Wow man not very often you hear the truth from a iPhone user. The s23 ultra is amazing, best phone I have ever owned, and I have owned alot. Customization is just insane with android. Try nova launcher it's insane what you can do with the pro version. You can make a android so much easier and cleaner than a iPhone. I try to tell everyone that but they continue to buy iphones. I was a iPhone user for a long time and don't miss it at all. The only thing that gets annoying is people complaining that I don't have imessage. Android has came a long ways and in my opinion has way more potential if you wanna put the time in customizing. Good review and great phone. I'll be keeping this one for 4 years minimum.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it🙏 and yesss I used to convert android users to iPhone but times have changed nowadays! Apple has some serious pressure being applied by Samsung.
@Dalton_Parker Ya I'm coming from note 20 ultra which was also great but this phone blows it away. I'm consistently getting 10 hours or more SOT. Which made the upgrade worth it. Getting 6 with my note 20 ultra if I was lucky.
Ayyy and you got to keep the s pen! Isn’t the note 20 a bit more square?
@Dalton_Parker not really pretty much the same phone. The sides on s23 ultra are actually more square it feels better in the hand naked than the note. Whenever I used my note naked I felt like I was gonna drop it. With a case on it pretty much feels the same though. Yes the s pen is handy I use it quite a bit. It's nice for shopping lists or writing notes on the calendar. Alot of people say it's gimmicky I disagree. It's quite useful. The s23 ultra is basically the note 20 ultra perfected in my opinion. Makes iphone users jealous also when I pull it out. That's the best part 🤣. I do wish they would just get rid of the curved glass but it's so subtle on this phone and feels better.
As an iPhone user I can confirm I was a bit jealous when I saw people with a note 20 or s22 ultra haha. Had to join them lol. And yeah the s pen is definitely useful as long as you know how to use it.
I got my s23 ultra 3 days ago, straight from Samsung. The sky blue 512gb unlocked one. Trade in from the s21 ultra. I hated to let the s21 ultra go, cause I like the looks for that year. But had to do it to stay up to date and still get a trade in value for it. That said, I'm really liking the s23 ultra, and the S pin does come in handy from time to time to jot something down on the fly.
Niceeee
Yea man, keeping my S21 Ultra until the S24 comes out, I really like the rounded corners of the S21 Ultra compared to the square shape of the S22/S23 Ultra. Enjoy!
After learning more about the Samsung S23 Ultra I’m switching over to Samsung from an IPhone. I’m nervous, but excited!
Niceee!
already have this phone, I was partially locked into the apple ecosystem years ago but it wasn't too bad to leave. left over a decade ago. i remember that time I thought I could not leave, but when you do, you get that sense of freedom of trying new things and seeing what else is out there. I seriously suggest you try it.
You haven’t looked back since have ya lol
damn wtf, youre so underrated??? i thought you had more than 30k subs, you deserve more.
i also got the s23 ultra, and man the battery life is insane!
i got 11 hours SOT and i barely have to charge it all the time. I upgraded from the s21 plus ( the battery degraded because i had to constantly charge it ( like 3 or 5 times a day). But MAN its totally worth it, slap that free galaxy buds pro 2 on there, damn thats some good shit right there!
Thank you that really made my day haha, hopefully we will get there one day! And yes the s23 ultra battery is just wild, I bet you aren't charging this one 3-5 times a day lol
@@Dalton_Parker well im constantly using my phone for like almost 9 hours straight so everytime i come home its always at 10-20% and i never charged it since last night, but yeah its really good. (Today it was 56% i only had 6 hours SOT
Keep in mind that you don't need to stretch your hand either if you implement one handed mode. It'll make the screen smaller while you type or swype with one hand and then you can revert it right back to normal size. Just go into your universal search and type it in. You'll be able to find it from there.
Thanks for the tip! 🙏
Excellent detailed video Dalton! I have used Samsung since the S3 series until last year me purchasing a iPhone 13 promax. When I’m eligible for an upgrade next month I’m switching back to the Samsung S 23 plus. Keep up the great work.
It’s hard to swap companies after you’ve been using one for sooo long
Yoo I'm using S23 plus I have it in cream color and the phone is just so smooth and fast I love it
@@mr.awesome7817 That sounds great. Thanks for your comment 👍🏻
@Hewhoremains I’m leaning that way. Watching as much reviews as I can on the S 23 ultra before March 25 when I upgrade. 👍🏻
Returned my 14 pro max e sim only boring phone dynamic island etc .
S23 ultra awesomeness. LOVE ❤️ IT .
Awesome!!!
Its always about the competition and no one is actually better than the other - ultimately, whichever brand manage to maintain its high level of consistency in delivering a better valued performing product will eventually grow to be the most reputable brand where they can provide the best to their consumers.
Well said!
@@Dalton_Parker Samsung phone already drop in price, why?
If you end up sticking with it, you have tons to uncover, enjoy it, this is the ultimate mobile companion regarding all walks.
I wish I would’ve done it sooner tbh
This time s23 ultra beating iPhone in every aspect
Facts!
Glad you're liking it! I was considering the S23U to replace my 13 Pro Max but came across a sale on the Pixel 7 Pro for $300 off without contract and jumped on it. Its really awesome to have more freedom over your phone and the layout.
I did test an S23U before deciding to keep the Pixel but Samsung still struggles with shutter lag and if you have kids or pets it's kind of a deal breaker. You'll just get blurry photos and miss precious moments.
Once Gcam is available you should test it out and report back if photos are better on the Samsung.
I haven't tried pixel yet, how does it compare to something like a galaxy in your opinion?
@@Dalton_Parker I think it's an easier transition for someone coming from IOS. Pixels UI is a little more curated and concise.
Samsung is far more granular with customization. Especially if you start using Samsung Good Lock (if you haven't downloaded it yet I highly recommend it). Bixby Routines is also an extremely powerful automation tool.
I have had both and gone back and forth between them and IOS over the years.
IOS gets boring over time. Feels like Apple puts up bumper guards to keep you between the lines they think are better for your experience. It's camera system is not bad but it's just okay.
Samsung UI is powerful and tweakable. There is a head spinning amount of baked in features and tools. But over time it can feel a little too busy. They have ads in the stock UI which can be a turn off and the camera system will disappoint with inconsistent results.
Pixel UI in my opinion strikes a nice balance between both. It's not as robust as Samsung with tweaks but it still offers far more customization and features than IOS does.
You also get many exclusive features that help simplify your life like the superior Voice Assistant, Pixel, baked in Spam and call screening, Hold For Me, real time translation features, class leading accessibility offers like helping visually impaired folks take good selfies, real time speech to text transcription, and arguably the best camera system.
@@Dalton_Parkerit doesn't. Right out the box it says gps signal lost. Apps crash. Iphone forever. It's just so reliable. 😂
@@cooldriver7236 my 14PM crashes all the time and dont even get me started with the gps situation
There is no shutter lag whatsoever unless you choose to shoot at 200mp. If you use the 200mp setting by itself, the quality and look of the picture is not as good as the pixel binned 12mp setting, which makes better use of AI.
I held onto my note 10+ until the s23 ultra because i LOVED the note 10+. The S23U is a more than worthy replacement id say. Power for days, customized everything, content is gorgeous, cameras are incredible. Absolutely loving mine!
My job means I'm on my phone for a large majority of every day and i still come home with enough battery to play games or watch videos.
Honestly the finger print to open phone vs face id is soooo much better…. Im an iphone user and sometimes it may not detect me and i gotta pick the phone up more… or lighting…. Or it just doesn’t want to work on some apps… its very obnoxiously obvious… vs finger print is very subtle and seamless in my opinion.
Hopefully apple does a fingerprint scanner underneath the display sometime soon
Great review. I myself use both iPhone and Samsung and I just say that the S23 Ultra is one amazing phone. As for iPhones the 13 Pro Max was their best yet. The old notch was any day better than the 'dynamic island' which intrudes more in your viewing experience.
So my main sim is in my S23 Ultra while my second Sim is in my 13 Pro Max. Looks like the 'dynamic island' is here to stay so the 13 Pro Max will be my last iPhone.
Love your style of reviewing and your calm demeanor. Keep up the good work. Subscribed.

Thank you 😁🙏
Thank you for the video!
From 2010 to now I have used every single Samsung model.
And , i only tried Apple once for a few months, and I will never do again !!
Samsung is the King!
I agree Samsung is really taking it to the next level. I’ve actually been with Apple since around 2011 and now I’m finally getting around to try and Samsung and it’s really opening my eyes!
No most of the nwe android lags if yuo dont pay å high price.
Hard-core apple fan.. had the original all the way up to the 13. My friends pressured me to get the S23 ultra last week and OMG!! I will never go back to Apple again.
Breath of fresh air lol
@Dalton Parker breath of fresh air, weight off my shoulder and chains off my ankles all at once.
normally i never buy phones above the 300 dollar range but when i saw the S23 Ultra, noticed the specs and what it can do. i had to have it, the S23 ultra gives so much more and you have weeks of searching, testing and still there is more too it. i am a phone gamer and normally would use it for high end games but when using the camera, i fell in love with the sharpness of the pictures. The 100x zoom also helps quiet alot when i am outside and see some beautifull birds in the distance, when looking at the screen it looks blurry but after i snapped the picture, it is super sharp. This phone has it all for everyone, vlogging/streaming/ pictures/ gaming or casual netflix and chill, this one has everything you can wish for.
The nice part even is for having any kinds of backgrounds ( even videos) and the battery stays cool, when other phones easy heats up. The S23 Ultra can keep anything running, about the battery life i still need to see in the long run but from the time i have it, i am amazed by what this phone has to offer even it cost me around 1 800 dollars
Yesss everything you said is right, it’s just a good phone in so many aspects!
I'm not interested in photos. How about video and zoom?
Welcome to Samsung Ecosystem. Besides Spen, don't forget to try the pop up view feature also for maximizing your multitasking. Explore more and you will realize how far left behind iPhone from Samsung. Have a nice day. 😊
Thanks for the reply :D and yes I'm really enjoying learning this amazing device!
As a Samsung user I've been wanting to buy the S23U since it drop but the only problem is it's for $320k here. I'll just stick with this A04s until i can afford it. btw welcome to the Samsung family!
That’s expensive geez! Thank you 🙏
They produced a really refined product. It's just good. Kind of addicting.
Well, said well, said indeed, it’s almost hard to pinpoint why it’s so addicting lol
Im hoping this year google and produce a really refined and nice pixel phone with more power.
I got my a few days ago and I'm in awe of the options and customization. Then you can actually replace the battery too!
It’s insane bro lol
Great feedback. I love the benefits from both apple and android. Apple is a great phone for users who may enjoy its simplicity. Android is more appelaing to users that want a little more freedom and really know their phones. I loved my iPhone 11 and switched to the S23 and it is a breath of fresh air. I would recommended apple for my family, since its easier to learn. The Samsung was an amazing switch for me. Thumbs up from me. God bless.
Everything you said is right on!
@@Dalton_Parker Thanks brother. You too!
Well said 👍🏽
Just a few suggestions to improve your experience. Because for some reason, some things are not on by default. You can turn on gestures and the gesture bar which is like on the iphone, but better, because you can swipe on either side to go back, anywhere. Then, i'd usually turn off edge panels, and the samsung wallet thing where you swipe up on the home screen, because they are useless. Also, i'd change what the button on the side does, so double tapping is google pay, and holding gives you the turning off options. Also, get rid of bixby forever, and replace it with google assistant. And, i hope you already know this, but set the display to 1440p 120hz.
Thanks for the tips seriously! 😀
I can relate... s23 ultra gets my attention and now an addicted user... apple fan here
I think Samsung is coming for us Apple users lol
@@Dalton_Parker yes, the only thing that made me stay with apple was the ecosystem. But now i am gradually adjusting. I jist want samsung to make good quality watches
That’s the main thing with me right now, is that I’m so invested in the Apple ecosystem… imagine of Samsung made a Samsung watch ultra lol
That comment about the back button had me 😂 we been here with it the whole time brother. I could never do iphone for that reason alone.
Haha
The developer option to change the snappyness of the apps is flame 🔥
Quick tip bro, you can also use gestures like you are used to on iphone and the back gesture is always easy to use with any hand its just a swipe from the border of the screen. So you can have also a full screen experiece without bars and navbars
Yeah as soon as I heard about that I went and switched it over, the plus side is it’s even more like my iPhone so it’s a bit easier to use now too!
Honestly, as someone who upgraded from the S20+, has owned Apple phones in the past, and gets to see the S23 Ultra and the 14 Pro Max in the same house due to my wife loving the Apple ecosystem, the phones are almost identical at this point. Both are great phones, and it's really down to personal preference of OS at this point.
True! In the past I feel like apple has been maybe a bit superior but now Samsung is coming in HOT! Both phones are absolutely phenomenal but it’s so hard to escape the apple ecosystem haha. Thanks for commenting 🙏
@Dalton Parker yup I agree. As an avid android user, I have noticed that while Apple is never the first, they always make it better in some form or fashion. I guess that's why competition is good because they keep trying to 1 up each other and the only winners in this are the consumers... except for when they started getting rid of the chargers. Wasn't a fan of that.
@@haynknight2002 the only thing with apple is that it takes them sooo long to catch up to Samsungs features, the upside to that is, whenever they FINALLY do, it’s usually very well optimized haha
@@haynknight2002 and the headphone jack
@Mischievious Jirachi yup. They forced me to buy a usb-c to headphone jack to continue using my headphones but eventually bought some earbuds
I love this review it was nice because unlike other reviews you give what was really important to the average users and the perspective from an iPhone user
Thank you so much 🙏

I have the Samsung galaxy s22... At the time of purchase last year, I had to decide between an iPhone or the Samsung s22 ultra... it was a tough choice but in the end I decided to go with the Samsung ultra... Bear in mind that I had not owned an iPhone nor Samsung s22 ultra... After watching your video I'm glad I went with the Samsung s22 ultra!!! THANKS!!!
Yesssss
Fun fact for you you can change the navagation layout To the iPhone mode under display settings then navagation bar
Yeah I changed it and it’s much much better
I'm a Samsung user but I never really got into the apple Vs Samsung debates alot. I currently am using the S20. I wanted to upgrade and kept asking around as to why I should get an iPhone. And almost got the 14 pro for a change in nature and a due upgrade however after alot of research and videos of the s23 ultra I chose the ultra. More features. The s pen. Battery life is now amazing. Camera quality is better or just as good as iPhone 14 pro max. And it apparent runs smoother and more efficiently. It seems perfect and I haven't been able to find any videos on persons thinking the opposite. Makes me feel like Ive made the right choice and perhaps in the future I may get an iPhone esp if the 15 or 16 shows similar potential. Let me know what you all think
I agree. I’ve never hated on either brand. I’ve always thought both phones were great but now it’s like Samsung is really moving fast like REALLY fast. The pressure is on this year for Apple to really really something great.
If iMessage came to android they know they would lose half their customer base lol
@Dean am a fan of samsung but samsung also copies iphone like no charger 😂😂😂
@@daddychillllllll5696 cz that was a great money maker plan not a feature.
@@daddychillllllll5696 that is some business things not a feature
I'm a huge fan of the Note series. Been a with the Note since the beginning. My last Note was the Note 20 Ultra 5G. I didn't upgrade to the S22 Ultra because the S22 Ultra and Note 20 Ultra have similar specs and are not worth the upgrade till the S23 Ultra. Finally made the upgrade to the S23 Ultra. Mainly due to the 200mp camera and 8k 30fps and 1080p super slow motion recording. Also, the S-Pen dub as a remote control for snapping pictures where you can't reach the phone.
Nice!! I know you are loving the upgrade!
@Dalton Parker, I love it, but the name "Note" no longer carries over, and no more microSD card slot. So I had to cough up an extra $$ to get their 512GB and that's the largest T-mobile carry. If T-mobile has the 1TB version. I would opt for that one.
That’s unfortunate they don’t carry the 1tb
@@Dalton_Parker yea, the 1TB only available in the international version.
The s22 ultra and the note 20 ultra DO NOT have similar specs. The S22 Ultra is two or three years newer than the Note 20 Ultra. The Note 20 Ultra has the same specs as the S20 Ultra NOT the S22 Ultra. The S22 Ultra and the S23 Ultra carry similar specs and similar hardware. Nowhere near the note 20 ultra.
I already have mine) Graphite colour) I am loving it. So far so good. Battery 🔋 rocks on this thing! Pretty much still discovering and exploring the phone but as i said, until now i'm really impressed.
Go go Sammy!
Niceee! What did you upgrade from?
@Dalton Parker S10+ 128 GB internal storage/-8GB RAM
now S23 Ultra 512GB - 12GB RAM
Huge improvement.
From the S22 Ultra... i think it doesn't make sense to upgrade. Yeah... S23 Ultra has a better chip, better battery life, better camera... but S22 ultra is still a very good phone from last year and for those who have it, doesn't make sense to me to upgrade to the s23 ultra. My opinion. But from s10+ ooh for sure! So I'm really glad here.
Welcome to the Galaxy 🌟⭐️ 🌠 💫
I switched to Iphone back in 2014 with the launch of the iphone 6s, I was a store manager for sprint and i was a samsung / android nerd and had no knowledge on apple's IOS, which was an issue for answering customer questions. So I made the full switch and stayed until this year within the apple eco system, that was until the release of the S23 ultra. I was helping a customer set their S23 ultra up and i couldn't help but just be impressed, the display and the phone were just satisfying to use and it made me miss it. So last night i made the switch and bought myself the S23 ultra and the galaxy watch 5. The customization and ease of use in android is unbeatable, very quickly i had my phone exactly how I've always wanted it. The ability to actually multitask on this phone compared to the iphone (which because of limitations of the design of the operating system it does not truly multitask) is so satisfying. As long as the battery life holds up and is the same as my iphone 13 pro max or better, I will forever be a samsung nerd. This phone literally is near perfection, I need to use it more long term and utilize the S pen a bit more, but so far so good.
Good choice! It's hard not to be blown away by this phone for sure.
Just got my Wife and I the Ultras and my mom and daughter( 23+'s lol) been a loyal Samnsung user since the Nexus so yeah I haven't upgraded since the S8+ I feel this is the one I've waited for. My wife has always had Notes recently the S20 Note and she never uses the pen and I'm sure I won't but who knows. Great video loved the delivery and the haves and have notes of the Apple vs Samsung.
Thank you so much! Y’all will love them of course! I wanna use the pen more I’m just trying to find more uses for it haha
I'm truly digging my 23 Ultra... It's so great. I'm just waiting for Samsung to do an update so my home and lockscreen would stop changing on its own.
That sucks lol have you already reported that bug? I imagine that would be mad annoying lol.
@@Dalton_Parker no I haven't. And it's really annoying because I'm the type of person that takes his time to customize my phone. If it doesn't start acting right, I'm just going take a trip to T-Mobile and see if they can help.
@@ynnam. no. It has a mind of its own. Some days my screen stays unchanged throughout my entire work day until I get home and start to charge my phone and then some days it just does what it wants to do. Yeah, on my next day of work I'll go to T-Mobile.
I have the s22 ultra and I'm on the fence I still want to see a few more people review and wait a week or two to see what happens but T-Mobile's trade in is pretty damn good so we'll see I just hope it's worth it to switch
You’ll definitely notice a big increase in battery life
@@Dalton_Parker is there any difference in how the phone runs I mean is the new chip noticeable
Yeah from what Iv used and the videos Iv seen it’s a pretty big upgrade from the s22u, from the animations, the geek benches it’s just overall faster and smoother.
@@Dalton_Parker My phone just got the 5.1 update and it's definitely dope but yeah I'm really thinking I'm probably going to do it just trade my ass 22 ultra inn they give you $1,000 for 24 months Good deal wish me luck I'll let you know when I pick it up
Good luck!! I know you are gonna love it!
Yes I finally upgraded from my Note 10+. Love the new ph. It's weird being back to a "Galaxy" as the note line was cannibalized and notes were what I had for yrs. I picked up the 256GB 8GB model, plenty sufficient for my moderate use. Feels solid built nice. Capabilities are huge. Learning things daily. Great ph, can't say enough good things about it 😅
Ayyy that’s awesome!!
Absolutely aesthetic vibe video bruh ... Love from India man 🇮🇳
Thanks so much for watching bro 🙏
Great Video!
Be Aware That It Has An Amoled Screen Which Can Be Vulnerable To Burn Marks, Avoid Using Bright Themes And Don't Let It Stay On Same Image For Too Long.
That’s some great advice, and one of the only downsides with using this type of screen but of course it has all the pros such as true blacks, and very bright colors!
I call B.S. on that. I've NEVER had screen burn on any Samsung phone (all the way back to the s3). Use what you want and don't worry.
@@fraghead9813 I’m sure if you were to let it sit on a super bright wallpaper at max brightness for an extended period of time it would probably burn in. Ofc I’m not gonna test that yet but yeah haha
@Dalton Parker maybe if you leave your screen on dormant for 5 hours but who the heck does that? Haha you do not have to worry about screen burn. At all.
@@fraghead9813 Only If You Knew How Many Violently Burnt Amoled Screens I Saw During My Repairs, But It's Been Years Im Being Careful On My Phones And Mine Has Nearly No Visible Marks
Great Review 👍🏽 Apple better wake up once people gets tired of their ecosystem it's over for them.
Thank you! And yep Apple needs to step it up a notch because Samsung is advancing faster than normal!
Lolololol no pun intended haha
Lol u learning too late now u seeing it
Anything u want to know the s23 ultra just watch youtube u will learn alot more about the s23 ultra
His voice is like ASMR very smooth & calming. Not sure if I'm getting the iPhone 15 or S24 Ultra
Thanks 🙏 both are great phones!
welcome to the club, I have only ever used samsung phones starting with there little silver flip phone back in the 90's, they have always been solid for me and I only upgrade every 4 to 5 years, literally My last 4 phones have been the galaxy S2, note 5, note 9 and now the S23 ultra.
Nice! This one will definitely last you 5 years!
5:14 in settings, you can go Advances Features > Labs > Full screen in Split View to gain a lot space in screen
Betttt
I switched from apple to Samsung many years ago and haven't regretted it. I went back on my old apple to get pictures off of it and I couldn't figure out how to use it haha. Samsung setup is so much better
It’s got a learning curve to it though coming from apple devices haha. There’s so much I don’t know about this phone.
I've been an iPhone user for so many years. Decided to give a try to the S23 ULTRA, and I am still so happy about the change. Both OS have good features, but android and especially Samsung amazed me on this one. Probably not gonna switch for a long time.
It’s just so good
So did you end up staying with s23 thus far? Are u still happy with your decision
You said you love a low back button but i suggest you try swipe gestures, i can't live without it anymore
Oh for sure, I changed to them actually like a day after this video was posted, been using it loving it ever since.
I have been using my phone all day. Watching videos and everything else. I charged my phone early last night and as of now I still have 70%
That’s wild, the battery life is insane.
Samsung S20 user here. I've been thinking of switching to my first iPhone but it seems I'll be getting the s23 ultra instead
I love your layback talking style🤣
Thanks 😆
Just randomly found your channel and my God your voice is very soothing
Haha thank you so much 🙏
Thanks for sharing your experience and by the way, you have very soothing voice.
Oh thank you!
I was originally an Android user, dating back to the original Motorola Droid, I didn't pick up an iPhone until the iPhone 5, and I've had phones from each on and off. If you want more features and better app selection, go get an Android. If you want a phone that will do what 90% of what average people actually do, and you want it to work flawlessly everytime, get an Apple.
My other personal experience, Apple software and hardware are just superior quality. Other than my Motorola Droid X2, I've never had an Android phone last. Everytime I've been forced to upgrade when it breaks. Apple on the other hand, other than a cracked screen which was entirely my own fault, i've never had an iPhone which has ever crashed, broken, or failed in any way. I have always upgraded my iPhones when I felt like I wanted a new phone.
Switched from a very buggy iPhone 14 Pro Max to the S23 Ultra. Exceptional phone.
Honestly the ecosystem is not as big a deal as we all think.
This is head and shoulders superior to the iPhone. Have used it 3 weeks running and no regrets.
It’s not as long as you aren’t SUPER invested.
How did you switch? Like you trade it in or paid out of pocket?
@@Dalton_Parker I was really invested. I made the decision a couple years ago to stop using Apple apps, so switched Notes to Evernote, Things to Todoist, Keychain to 1Password. But I still own a 14 PM, MacBook Pro, iPad Pro, AirPods Pro, Watch Ultra. Was super invested but also super frustrated with the iPhone 14 Pro Max.
@@chrisx5127 So I actually purchased the S23 Ultra outright. I've used it now for two months and prefer it to the iPhone. I've kept the iPhone and put my sim (am in the UK) back in the iPhone from time to time but I never stay with it longer than a day or two because the Ultra is just so good.
I also recently purchased the Samsung Galaxy Book 3 Ultra (i9 4070) and it's incredible. Have all the features Apple users love, such as QuickShare and Multi Control but get to use both my Ultras.
I'll either get the iPhone 15 or the Fold 5. Depends which takes me fancy. If the latter then I'd probably sell my Apple gear.
@@lewisdoyle You and I have similar taste. I want the S23 Ultra, but I just bought a Mac Mini M2 because Win 11 is eating me inside out. When Win 11 updates, all my progress is no longer saved. Not to mention Win 11 is ugly!
Since I have a Mac, it makes sense to get an iPhone since I can send/receive texts and make calls on it. I want to get into Apple ecosystem for the first time because macOS has apps that are not available for PC that enhances productivity.
Like yourself, I'm waiting till Samsung perfect the Z Fold series (with spen). That would be my ideal phone as well. Of course, the new iPhone 15 sound promising from all the rumors going around.
With all of that being said, can we please get Siri 2.0? Siri is so awful!
I'm an iPhone user switching to Samsung Galaxy s23 Ultra. I am like wow!
It’s so good haha
I friggin love my green 512 gb S23 Ultra. Coming from a Note 20 Ultra I'm so impressed with being able to put the screen on the highest resolution and still keeping the 120 hz refresh rate. 👌
Niiicceee! So on the note 20 you couldn’t set to the highest resolution and still keep the 120hz?
@@Dalton_Parker normally no. But there's a work around using Bixby routine
Hello, what was it like using the Note 20 Ultra generally? How's the battery life, camera, and CPU performance?
I want to buy the phone which is why I'm asking?
I can’t wait until mine arrives! I’ve been using iPhone since the 4s; this is the first time another phone has made me willing to switch. It looks so nice, and I’m excited to try out all the customization features.
Let me know how you like it!
I’ve been an iPhone user since the 4, I have the 14 PM but my experience with iOS 16 makes me want to switch so bad, I’m just struggling with the fact that there are no android equivalents to my AirPods Pro and more importantly my Apple Watch ultra.
The closest thing to AirPods Pro would probably be Sonys but idk. Garmin makes a cool smartwatch but imo it’s not near the Apple Watch ultra.
@@Dalton_Parker see, it’s such a struggle. The iPhone is lackluster compared to the S23U but the AirPods and Apple Watch ultra are so damn good.
PSA if you wanna switch to galaxy: You guys, I have had an iPhone until last year. My first phone was an iPhone. Now I have an S22, I swear it’s not that big of a deal to people to switch and if there is someone mentioning it it’s because they’re young, have an ego, or extremely biased (over a phone which is funny, a phone shouldn’t hold status). Also, I became comfortable with the phone real fast, it really has a lot that iPhone has cause iPhone usually ends up using Samsung features. Most of the stuff you don’t like, just don’t use, or you can turn it off. AND you can download launchers to completely change the interface. If you LOVE simple download Niagara Launcher, it’s literally 8 most used apps and a scrolling bar on the side. People make a big deal over this type of stuff and it’s pure comical and sad. I think the blue vs. green bubble is elementary as hell and pathetic in my opinion. OH AND YOU CAN REACT TO TEXTS NOW WITH EMOJIS LIKE IPHONES, YOU GET TO CHOOSE WHICH MESSAGING FORM YOU WANNA USE, AND MESSAGES BY GOOGLE ALLOWS EMOJI REACTIONS. ANNNNND I HAVE A NIECE WHO FACETIMES ME, IT GOES TO MY GOOGLE MEET, SO SHE CAN FT ME AND IF YOU VIDEO CALL SOMEONE WITH AN IPHONE, YOU CAN FROM THE ACTUAL PHONE.
Yeah it’s not as bad as it seems but it can take some getting used to
I’ve been going back and forth before back when the note 1 when it first released in I believe 2011 era while having iPhone 4s, then note 3 and iPhone 5&5s, as well as the note 5 and I have both 6 & 6s and that’s it. So the last Samsung phone that I had was the note 5 and I thought I’ll be just forever stick to my iPhone for the next 5+ years. And yeah I did. But then this time around I’ll make a switch to hopefully my permanent phone company ( Samsung ) for this 23 ultra. The reason I’m going with this ultra is because I just love jotting down notes, learn things, writing stuff, for educational purposes, etc.. it’s actually useful to have the pen, since you can take a picture with your pen while doing a long selfie, or just placing your device in front of you to take a pictures. Seeing this 23 ultra have the same ability that the previous notes has, It truly is such a blast. And I feel like home going back to Samsung. Yes. I may not have the apple logo, but as I mature apple logo isn’t what I honestly care anymore. What’s the point on being socially inclined because you have an iPhone. I’ve been convicted too myself, since the past couple years I’ve been longing to go back but, this thing hinders me to do just that. This time around I have all the trigger to jump back knowing the reliability, screen freezes randomly, is not existing any longer. So i guess for all those individual like myself. Try think twice and give it a shot. I think you won’t regret it. Get it while you can, especially during those Best Buy sales. DONT BUY PHONE FOR ITS STATUS, BUY IT BECAUSE YOU NEED AND WANT IT
Pay this guy.. He truly knows about true quality...!
Thank you so much🙏
I love the music and calm pace of your video so I subscribed
Thanks so much I’m glad you enjoyed 🙏
Try using the gestures instead of the buttons. It's really good and makes the screen "bigger" because u don't have the buttons below
I don’t know how you managed to pull off a great review while on Melatonin but you did it my man! Great job!
Nooooo lol 🤣 thanks man 🤣
Apple user here. Enjoying my 2 days old S23 Ultra i.e. simple function like screen splits (runs Waze n RUclips) and Waze voice doesn't even pause YT. Love the function whilst on road trips. Many other functions you will come to appreciate e.g. personal and work profile. Many IOS defenders here but really we crave functions now available on Android to enjoy a phone we rely on all day.
Yup! Exactly, it really is a breath of fresh air
Excellent review! You know all others are biased when they try to raffle off the phone they aren’t being sponsored by at the beginning or end. I’m a lifetime iPhone user thinking hard about the swap to the S23U.
Thanks man! It's a great phone it's just apple makes it kinda hard to break up with them haha
Hey add device care app to your home screen!! Super useful!
Bet thanks for the tip
@Dalton Parker just push and hold on empty place on home screen, select widgets and find a device care and add to your home screen
Switched from a iPhone 14 Pro Max to the S23 Ultra and I love the Ultra....
Don’t look back aha
Got it, love it!
Nice! Is this your first one?
I have had Samsung Galaxy Notes since 2015 starting w/ Note 4, Note 8, Note 9, Note 10+, Note 20 Ultra 5G, now the S23 Ultra. Samsung flagships give the luxury of customization so you don't get bored with the phones.
Facts!
Man I love your review. New sub here. I too use the s23ultra and iphone 14pm and my 14pm has been laying on my desk like come play with me. But on a serious note both devices are great. Also you should try using the gesture mode over the physical keys. It's like using the iphone but better.
Thank you so much!! 🙏 and yesss as soon as I found out about the gestures I switched over to it and just like you said it’s much more like using my iPhone so I feel right at home it’s amazing!
And with goodlock you can put a screenshot button on your navigation button with navstar module or with Registar you can tap twice the back of the phone to add screenshot or google assistant etc
I just got this phone and I love it. I never used apple phone. I had the galaxy note 10 plus and loved that phone but the cameras on this blow it away. Probably take me years to figure out everything this phone actually does.
Great video! I just ordered my S23 Ultra switching from 12 years of iOS. Your video quality is fantastic!
Thank you so much! Let me know how you like it!
I had every iPhone until I switched to S20. Now with S23, to me there's no comparison! Samsung all day.
They really are on another level when it comes to certain things
I will never forget the day I did 2 hours & spend 5% battery on my S23U. The phone was flexing on me hard!
Battery is insane lol
