The ultra is a beast for sure but they both have the same chip. Only difference is bigger screen battery and an extra camera. That's it. Everything else is the same.
100% agree with you on all your comments regarding Samsung and Android features. I have been a Samsung user since I switched to a smartphone. Another feature I love about them are the battery life, they are very solid. I had my Galaxy A20 for 4 years and it was still going strong until I decided to upgrade.
@@portman8909 NOT true. Actually, iPhones are moving backward with both battery life & heatlh. 😩 There are numerous complaints on Reddit & other social-media platforms about the iP 14 Pro/Max battery health (and in fact, a good friend of mine is experiencing that with his 14 PM). And too many iP 15 Pro/Max users are still experiencing overheating on their devices, which shortens battery life (due to 🔋 drain). From everything I'm hearing, the iPhone "battery champs" seem to be the 13 Pro Max, and the 15 Plus.
look through the settings for the keyboard, (at least on samsung) you can enable the kind of second page of the keyboard to be available from the first one, for example if you want to type @, you don't have to go to the second page instead you can just hold S and it pops up.
I have a MacBook, iMac, iPad but I use a Sammy =) but wasn't always like that. I made the switch 2 months ago. I don't think I will go back to iPhones ever again. With a Sammy I feel more free and in control. Great video!
I did this too. I use mac for work and samsung phone for daily driver, because I want each device perform well for my needs. And I don't bother with ecosystem. Productivity and satisfaction is what I looking for.
when people at my job tell me that their Apple EcoSystem is so great, I reply saying the Samsung EcoSystem is great too and wider. I have a S24 Ultra, Galaxy Watch 5 and Tab S9 and they are great together. plus you can also have your Samsung TV and prepare your coffee on your Samsung Coffeee Machine while checking the time on your samsung refrigerator
You know, I have never heard of someone having such a setup. Without a doubt, intriguing ans eye opening at the same time. Base S23 is such an amazing phone. Thank you for this really interesting perspective
Been on both iOS and Android, but mostly on iOS now. But I really miss the back button. On iOS, going back to previous page vary between apps and is really makes navigation inconsistent
Thank you. I am deciding on a new phone. I have a Galaxy S9+ so i am really due an update! however i have a macbook pro, a ipad pro and airpods. I really like customizing my samsung as well as the back button and have been trying to decide which phone to upgrade to. You are the first you tuber ive seen present this view point which supports exactly how i feel. I do not need an ecosystem for work but would like to send and recieve photos and videos in high quality as well. Thank you again- this helps!
iPhone is good but overated. People and tech reviewers has talked so much about using an iPhone but after almost 20 months with one, i'm not impressed by nothing. Each single feature i have on Android, i lose it on iOS. I guess, i will keep my iPhone to the end but i won't buy another one. Android brings a lot more to the table.
Samsung has 2 features called quick share and nearby share that you can use when transferring large video files and photo files. I've used them before and work very well fast.
Great video! I love apple devices (I have none right now) but I ended up choosing a S23+ as my personal device and I am beyond happy, what Android still offers is awesome, and I'm glad it is still an option with that many features. Please continue doing great videos like this one! 🎉
I love how androids have the notifications icons at the top for unread ones.. you can even have diffrent notifications sounds. Like on snapchat/discord X and stuff like that
I legit have whole eco system like you Mac Book Air Ipad Air and Tada Samsung s20 and I can't agree with you more, samsung does give so much value and especially the back button makes it so much easier at the end of the day.
Hi. I am using a similar setup. But for me the back buttons are a thing of the past as I find the gesture based swipes more convenient & getting more screen estate. Why dont you like gestures? Regards
If the gestures are doing right then it maybe not a problem.. iOS gestures is good for left handed people.. for right handed one..meh.. Android gestures are more user friendly than iOS..and being able to revert to old classic button navigation is a plus for some old people who prefered classics over modernization..not everything about tech can be forced..
Good video. I have gone back and forth for years but now I use an iPad, iMac and a Galaxy S23. Rcs coming in September really solidifies it for me. Also, Galaxy watches are great. Watches are meant to be round and the notification options are much better.
I want to get the s24 ultra! so many amazing features. Thank you for sharing your experience! I have been an iPhone user since the iPhone 5 days will be excited to try it out
Thank you for an insightful review regarding a mixed ecosystem of products. I really became a Samsung fan with my Galaxy Note Ultra and I have not looked back. However, I was interested in the ecosystem that Apple products offered. So, I began my review of the Apple MacBook Air and iPad. For me, I became even more impressed with Samsung Galaxy offerings in laptop, tablet, watch and earbuds. In my use case of business, productivity, student, light creation and gaming. I found that Samsung Galaxy Book Pro 360, TabS tablet, earbuds and watch offered the best features and integrated performance of the Windows/Android operating systems I have seen to date. With Samsung Galaxy, all the products work extremely well together and offer exclusive features and apps like Samsung Notes and the S Pen. I use these features everyday across my smartphone, tablet and PC. It is unreal how this can enhance your productivity from note taking to solving problems long hand. Good video. Keep them coming.
That’s almost like my setup. On top of what was listed, I also prefer Samsung for multitasking, fast charging, and ability to pause while recording video. When it comes to earbuds however, I go with generic brands… some have great battery life and I have a tendency to lose them so it hurts less when I only spend $30 on a pair.
The worst part about BT earbuds -- ESP expensive ones -- is that users can't replace the battery. The battery life on my Samsung Galaxy Live buds (purchased Black Friday of 2021) is getting progressively worse. I've for the most part "babied" them, but since I used them nearly every day for over 2 years now, their battery life & health isn't nearly what it once was. Thankfully, I won a pair of Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro buds in a giveaway this past summer, so I've relegated the Samsungs to outdoor use and as backup buds.
Me too. I use Samsung Note 20 Ultra and have an ipad 8. I bought an ipad just because my previous workplace use a specific OS in Apple. But, I love both.
secure folder hands down the best integrated software feature so as the maintenance mode which is a big relief to the Samsung users as everyone has concerns while repairing their phones that the repair shop might sneak out into your data in the name of checking your phone but that concerns remains no more with this maintenance mode feature
@@DENVEROUTDOORMANi know i know, won’t happen again. In my defense i preordered the s22U with exynos chip and the better life was just abysmal. I had to charge it twice just to get through the day… Ended up returning it after 4 days 😅 at least I got to keep the buds that came with the preorder. Something for my troubles. With nothing else on the horizon and seeing the iphone camera improvements with the 14 pro i jumped on it. I thought i would get used to it. Nope. Hate that phone.
Just like secure folder, don't forget about multiple user accounts on Android. You can pass the phone to a progeny, parent, or spouse and avoid tainting your main profile.
Soon we will all have the same messages iphone and android phones. And also photo and video sharing will have high quality. This should've happened years ago.
Many people say they don't do android because it lags without knowing the principles behind lagging and choosing to stick to some brainwashed worldly mentality. Great Video and Great Beginning though 💯👏
I have always been a Samsung phone user (since my first smartphone, the original galaxy S, after moving on from Nokia) and and iPad user since 2014...My main computer has always been Windows however. Currently I have a Samsung S23, airpods 3 for my phone, both iPad pro and Samung Tab S9 and a thinkpad with airpods pro 2. I will never be an iPhone user and your video made me realize how many advantages I have over iPhone. Here in Europe nobody cares about iMessage. Airdrop is not a big deal since I sync everything with Dropbox and if necessary I use sendanywhere. I miss multicontrol though... I might move to a Macbook only if they made one as light as my thinkpad nano and with cellular (not happening) or a desktop where you could upgrade RAM and storage (even less likely). I won't give up the iPad pro, but I use my Samsung S9 and and S8 ultra more and more... I love my airpods
I know people rave about the Apple eco-system but the idea of it actually puts me off getting an Iphone. I'm scared that one purchase would inevitably lead to another whereas i am more than happy using just my Samsung phone and a windows laptop
Lol, yeah I feel ya. I recently changed from a S23 to Iphone 15 pro (first iPhone ever). I really wanted Lidar for work applications, and face unlock as I often wear gloves, so when they finally implemented USB-C I changed. ..It was not long before I swapped out my Buds 2 pro for Air pods pro 2. Then my Galaxy Watch 4 for Apple Watch Ultra 2. In those cases I was thrilled with the upgrades they are over their Samsung counterparts- but now I'm starting to eye up MacBook's which would functionally be a downgrade over a windows laptop for me, and also swapping my Galaxy tab 7 for an ipad even though I seldom use it... all for that lure of the ecosystem.
I'm a Civil Engineer and I've been using a Macbook and a cheap Realme Android since last three years. There is no problem in transferring photos and documents from Android to Mac and vice-versa like few people say. Never cared about any ecosystem. This entire ecosystem is just a gimmick to sell their products more. Ecosystem is only for professionals like app developers or web designers, for rest of the citizens it's not that big deal.
Lol when you said "hey google" my nest home activated. Very encouraging video, I used to have samsungs from 2011 to 2017 and kind of wish I'd never switched. I got fully enmeshed in the apple ecosystem a few years ago with an iphone, 2 macs, ipad, airpods, and apple watch(back when I had money lol). I do love the cohesiveness of the ecosystem, I love starting a task on my mac and being able to pick it up on my phone but I'm getting kind of annoyed with apple's crap lately though. They had to be legally forced into enabling sideloading and even now they're only grudgingly complying in the EU. I still need a computer or a hacky workaround just to get a custom ringtone on my phone. No consistent back button after 17 years is just ridiculous. Even the base models are too big and chunky now, and the iphone 16s are only going to get bigger. I use an SE 3 now and love it, but it's not going to last forever and rumors say the SE 4 is going to be 6.1" with face ID. Ugh. I absolutely _despise_ face ID and I know I'll be forced into it once my SE3 finally dies, so samsung phones and their fingerprint scanners are looking mighty nice. I can live with a 6.1" phone if it means I get to keep my fingerprint scanner.
We need more ecosystem RUclipsrs. I feel like many are all apple or all Android PC. And when people switch they go all in. Get iPhone buy all apple, get android get all windows machines.
I have iphone 13 and AW 7& ipad mini 6 in Starlight. I was getting tired of Apple products and got a Samsung s21 FE and loved it so when i got a great deal to trade it in and get the Samsung S23 FE i was in love. I got a samsung 6 watch and a samsung tab 8 and havent switched back yet
seperation of work and personal apps and notifications can be done in ios with focus having lock on apps also can be done with shortcuts side loading is the only problem you will face
Just today, coming from an aging iPhone XS and being in the Apple ecosystem, I was contemplating (asi in.. what if) buying an S24, S24+ or even an S23 Ultra but after watching this video its definetly a no go. The reason for contemplating the switch was purely economical (iphone prices are just expensive). The reasons explained in this video doesn't really compel me to switch to Android. I just don't do photos, videos or care about the work/life balance. I do care about synching calendars, contacts, notes, email, file sharing and pretty basic office stuff that just works. Even buying a movie from Apple TV without an iPhone would be kind of painful. Then again thanks for sharing!
Thanks for making this video. I am an apple ecosystem user and really wanna try Samsung phone since ios performance recently really sucks (14 pro user), poor battery performance, laggy keyboard, inconsistent with the autofocus, and others.
Great video as I see benefits from both apple and Samsung too, I use both brands from tablets, phones and cellular smart watches too getting best of both worlds!
NANIIIIII?! Lol jks glad your setup works well for you. Question, if you had an iphone connected to your samsung's hotspot, would you be able to use imessage, facetime and airdrop with your friends?
Man, you're awesome! I made several workaround videos on ways to connect your Galaxy phone to a Mac, and your method is, by far, the absolute best! I had no idea that Samsung Smart Transfer has a built-in file browser! Android File Transfer is awful, and I was pisse off when Samsung stopped supporting Dex for Macs.
I have almost everything Apple, and for years always had an iPhone and Samsung phone. Late last year, I went with Pixel phone. I do like the Pixel, but in the next week or so will be trading it in for an S24+. I really miss Samsung devices.
It's an interesting video from a practical perspective. I've been a Windows and Android guy since the beginning. I'm more open to switch to a MacBook than switching to iPhone right now. Actually only the battery annoys me on my Windows laptop, apart from that I am fine. Currently I also see more benefits in Android which stop me from switching, the keyboard is an important one, for example. (I use special characters like Á É Ö Ü which are best on special layout only Gboard on Android has) The Airpods are almost perfect but I'd probably use earbuds with multipoint support (like my current Huawei Freebuds Pro 3 right now).
I have an iMac and I find even the user interface is so confusing and requires so many extra steps to do some stuff like sharing files etc. I hate that if you want to copy/paste and you don't remember their weird keyboard icons that you still end up pulling up the menu to see them. Why can't they they just put CTRL or ALT on their keyboard like everyone else.
Great video, I agree with you love mac laptops and ipads but much prefer Samsung phones. With that bieng said do you happen to know a good way to tether Samsung s23 to macbook pro for internet service when traveling? Thank you so much in advance.
There's a RUclips video that shows you how to do this exactly. ENTER into RUclips Search bar: Galaxy S20/S20+: How to Share Internet Connection To Macbook Pro Using Bluetooth Tethering
Great video. I am in the same boat with you I have Macs at home and I've always had Samsung phones. The file sharing is my biggest aggravation . I'd like to know how you get smart switch to work on a Mac. My understanding was it does not work. With new Max Sonoma, I cannot even get DEX to work
Thank you for this! I was wondering if it was pointless to get a Macbook as someone with Samsung phone and tablet. But, this is good to know it doesn't make that much of a difference if I never switch my phone.
REALLY good & useful video, Jeffrey !! 👍🏻 You've earned a new Sub 🙌🏻 Perhaps the only things you left out are Samsung's DeX mode, RAM Plus, Developer Options, and the general customization options of Samsung/Android (which could even include unlocking bootloaders, rooting options, etc -- for the uber-nerds 😅).
@@DENVEROUTDOORMAN It's most def NOT "garbage" 😆 That said, I lowered RAM Plus on my Galaxy S22 Ultra from 8 GB to 4 GB, and haven't seen a major difference (I'm still able to keep ~200 tabs open in my mobile Chrome browser with seemingly zero overall performance "hiccups" 😁). I've heard many arguments against RAM Plus, some less credible (it degrades flash-drive longevity & performance), some a bit more credible (it can lower battery life & slow the phone's performance). One thing I continue to ❤️ about Samsung is that they give us so many OPTIONS to customize our devices as WE wish.
@@DENVEROUTDOORMAN Hey "genius" -- I have the 512 GB /12 GB RAM model...of which I'm only using 71 GB of ROM. So I'm happy to allocate 8 GB of that ROM to virtual RAM for increased multi-tasking. I don't believe that I'll ever get _close_ to using the remaining 433 GB of storage (out of an effective 504 GB) !
Awesome I do the same thing , everything apple but I use Samsung ultra eventually in the year I’ll be out of the rotten apples. 😂. Awesome video have a blessed day
You are smart & intelligent🗿 I myself love MacBook/iPad for the value and power they deliver but not going to buy any other product they offer. You my friend have my respect 😂
There are dozens of us! Well, I use a Pixel as my phone but still Android + Mac. I switched to iPhone for almost a year and found iOS to be disorganized. iOS will show you an email notification for an email you read a week ago, while Android will clock that message as read, and remove the notification (but you can still view the notifaction history if you want to!). I use my phone as an organization tool and always find Android to be more powerful in that regard. But I will say, as a Mac user, I often wondered if there were things I just didn't know how to do on an iPhone. For example, on Mac, for years I did not know that you could press comand/shift/G for a path window, because on Windows, it's obvious where you can select/copy/paste the file path in the file explorer. I just never assumed that "go to folder" in the "Go" menu was the same thing as "folder path". I definitely felt dumb when I realized it, but honestly, I think it's just too bad for Apple. Lastly, I have never tried AirPods because all of the reviews said it's a bad experience with non-Apple devices, so I went with Sony XM4.
That Director's View is dope. Does that appear in your camera role as it does in this video? Meaning, does it export a single video of the Picture-in-Picture?
@@jeffreytu that seems like it would be great for lots of applications. It’s essentially two cameras in one; if you want a POV AND for the viewer to see whatever you’re looking at. I had no clue Samsung could do this. I just returned my 3rd Pixel 8 after a great run with a Pixel 7. Currently on an iPhone 15 Pro and it’s just meh.
From the UK. Here iphone users tend to use WhatsApp over imessage. I am on the Google ecosystem and agree with all that's said + I have two Google Home displays that show my Google photos something not possible with apple. U didn't mention many other useful android features! 5 volume controls, reverse charging, ability to pause a video when recording. OTG file sharing. The list gets longer!!
@@jeffreytuthe thing I hate about iOS, gestures......I hate that shit to death and prefer the old 3 way navigation button. I've been using these 3 keys since android phones had the middle physical home buttons. Apple is making the iPhone trash year after year but isheeps are too lethargic to notice that
I'm in the same boat. I have an iMac and iPad at home and at work I use two iMac computers, but I'm still rockin' Samsung phones. The only reason I consider switching to iPhone is for the same reasons: airdrop and iMessage, but I don't want to be trapped in Apple's ecosystem. It's a lot more difficult to go from iphone to Android than it is vice versa, especially now that Apple decided to do away with traditional SIM cards. Using an Android gives me more options in choosing different brands and phones, which I like.
silly reason why i stick to samsung is because of the samsung app Sound Assistant... it has this feature called individual app volumes. weird that you cannot do the same thing with other android phones. >.
Sound Assistant is great. They should just include it by default in the OS! I found out about Sound Assistant because I was trying to record audio while music was playing. By default the music would just stop when I pressed record, but Sound Assistant has a "multi sound" option that enables sound to play while in camera app.
@@jeffreytuthe material You on android 13/one UI 5 is something you won't see on iPhones, not only one UI is giving stock android vibes with material you everywhere and Google feed on the far left but offers more customisation than the pixel itself. The base iPhone 15 and even the pro max still uses USB c 2.0, the same USB c found on Galaxy a04.
Ha I have it in reverse. I'm a long iiPhone user (and iPad), but I just recently bought a Tab 9s Ultra because of the amazing OLED screen because I meanly consume media on my tablet!
Nothing at all wrong with that setup. I love my Samsung ecosystem (the only pieces missing are a Galaxy watch & laptop). I far prefer my Tab S7 Plus to my iPad, esp for productivity. If you ever decide to use your Tab S9 Ultra that way, you'll find that DeX is a game-changer.
@@sharkfintech5893Even though I use a Mac for work I've never used my iPad as an extended screen. I think it's best to enjoy everything if it's any good without having any weird childish biases towards the different players (Apple vs Android, etc.). If you're smart you can only profit from some diversity; I use a Windows PC for mainly gaming, A PS5 for great exclusives, a Mac Book Pro M1 for work, an iPhone and now my Galaxy Tab for TV Shows in bed haha!
Being able to swiftly share any files to ALL KINDS OF DEVICE must be like a basic thing between the technology world and not like an ecosystem exclusive-only feature just saying. Other things can go and still be ecosystem exclusive maybe idk
One suggestion I have that you have not mention in your video is Quick Share, you can use this to transfer files wirelessly to a non samsung user i.e. iphones, laptop and other android devices, all you need to have is fast internet connection, as the files will be uploaded on the cloud and will stay there for almost 2 days. So this is good if you need to transfer files wirelessly. hope this help!!!
I use an iPhone, AirPod Pros, and an iWatch. I built my own PC for photo editing, I own a Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Plus, and use an Android TV box. Why? I’m more into the Google ecosystem. OneDrive, Google Home, Gmail, etc. The game changer for me is natively installing Android apps on Windows. Anyone that tried it knows. The Apple ecosystem is so locked down. I rather mix and match brands and still enjoy the features they offer.
Im still an Android loyalist, even though I might be getting the iPhone 15. As soon as Apple announced RCS support, my interest in the iPhone dropped like a rock. (I was mostly interested in the iMessage feature.) Though, I would keep the 15 to try, but I probably still prefer my midrange Samsung Galaxy A53 5G even if it's half the price of the iPhone 15.
What is so special or tempting about iMessage? Especially being an Android user? I have installed Beeper and Beeper mini but I did not message anyone on iMessage :D
If you tamper with the notification settings on samsung, you are lost.... 10 years with Samsung devices, notifications are the biggest problem they have and that's why I got an iphone.... you can also sideload on an iphone now.. ..also with third party applications you can easily find the director function in the camera...a little searching is needed.....

So many are addicted to that back button my dad is one of them he says he can’t live without and why doesn’t have any plans to move to Apple.
Dude, bravo 👏🏼 excellent video. No bashing of what you don’t use, just straight facts on why you use the devices you use. You earned a sub!
Interesting how my Samsung phone pulsated when you said "Hey Google". Bro is always ready
Or Samsung s Bixby...but you don't need to use hey...just Google or Bixby
AND ALWAYS LISTENING. THE GOVERNMENT LIKES IT THAT WAY.
I have a windows laptop, an S21 Ultra and Airpods Pro.
I like the flexibility of android, the airpods are just very comfortable and small.
Good video. I have gone back and forth for years but now I use an iPad, iMac and a Galaxy S23. Rcs coming in September really solidifies it for me. Also, Galaxy watches are great. Watches are meant to be round and the notification options are much better.
I want to get the s24 ultra! so many amazing features. Thank you for sharing your experience! I have been an iPhone user since the iPhone 5 days will be excited to try it out
Thank you for an insightful review regarding a mixed ecosystem of products. I really became a Samsung fan with my Galaxy Note Ultra and I have not looked back. However, I was interested in the ecosystem that Apple products offered. So, I began my review of the Apple MacBook Air and iPad. For me, I became even more impressed with Samsung Galaxy offerings in laptop, tablet, watch and earbuds. In my use case of business, productivity, student, light creation and gaming. I found that Samsung Galaxy Book Pro 360, TabS tablet, earbuds and watch offered the best features and integrated performance of the Windows/Android operating systems I have seen to date. With Samsung Galaxy, all the products work extremely well together and offer exclusive features and apps like Samsung Notes and the S Pen. I use these features everyday across my smartphone, tablet and PC. It is unreal how this can enhance your productivity from note taking to solving problems long hand.
Good video. Keep them coming.
Good video. Do you have it setup to get your text messages on your iPad and Mac?
That’s almost like my setup. On top of what was listed, I also prefer Samsung for multitasking, fast charging, and ability to pause while recording video. When it comes to earbuds however, I go with generic brands… some have great battery life and I have a tendency to lose them so it hurts less when I only spend $30 on a pair.
The worst part about BT earbuds -- ESP expensive ones -- is that users can't replace the battery.
The battery life on my Samsung Galaxy Live buds (purchased Black Friday of 2021) is getting progressively worse. I've for the most part "babied" them, but since I used them nearly every day for over 2 years now, their battery life & health isn't nearly what it once was.
Thankfully, I won a pair of Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro buds in a giveaway this past summer, so I've relegated the Samsungs to outdoor use and as backup buds.
@sharkfintech5893 same... I didn't baby them, but the ones I got free with my S20 Ultra also died after two years of nesr daily use.
Me too. I use Samsung Note 20 Ultra and have an ipad 8. I bought an ipad just because my previous workplace use a specific OS in Apple. But, I love both.
secure folder hands down the best integrated software feature so as the maintenance mode which is a big relief to the Samsung users as everyone has concerns while repairing their phones that the repair shop might sneak out into your data in the name of checking your phone but that concerns remains no more with this maintenance mode feature
I didn't know about maintenance mode! That is a great feature.
I switched to an iPhone for the first time last year and I'm just counting days until the release of S24 Ultra so I can go back to Android!
Same!!!!!
SAME!
Shame on you going to Crapple
@@DENVEROUTDOORMANi know i know, won’t happen again. In my defense i preordered the s22U with exynos chip and the better life was just abysmal. I had to charge it twice just to get through the day… Ended up returning it after 4 days 😅 at least I got to keep the buds that came with the preorder. Something for my troubles.
With nothing else on the horizon and seeing the iphone camera improvements with the 14 pro i jumped on it. I thought i would get used to it. Nope. Hate that phone.
Just like secure folder, don't forget about multiple user accounts on Android. You can pass the phone to a progeny, parent, or spouse and avoid tainting your main profile.
They took that out
@@DENVEROUTDOORMAN Wrong. I have it and use it on my latest Android.
It’s good that you enjoy Samsung, and have found the perfect phone for you.
Soon we will all have the same messages iphone and android phones. And also photo and video sharing will have high quality. This should've happened years ago.
Hey this video was so good! I'd love to see one where you talk about the various apps you use on your phone and perhaps stuff like bixby
What password manager do you use? Samsung passwod, or Google? And how do you synchronize your password with your mac?
Many people say they don't do android because it lags without knowing the principles behind lagging and choosing to stick to some brainwashed worldly mentality. Great Video and Great Beginning though 💯👏
Okay I have Samsung and so far so good but you got me intrigued why lagging happens ?
This is the kind of set up I have. 3 apples and one samsung. Thanks!
I have always been a Samsung phone user (since my first smartphone, the original galaxy S, after moving on from Nokia) and and iPad user since 2014...My main computer has always been Windows however. Currently I have a Samsung S23, airpods 3 for my phone, both iPad pro and Samung Tab S9 and a thinkpad with airpods pro 2. I will never be an iPhone user and your video made me realize how many advantages I have over iPhone. Here in Europe nobody cares about iMessage. Airdrop is not a big deal since I sync everything with Dropbox and if necessary I use sendanywhere. I miss multicontrol though... I might move to a Macbook only if they made one as light as my thinkpad nano and with cellular (not happening) or a desktop where you could upgrade RAM and storage (even less likely). I won't give up the iPad pro, but I use my Samsung S9 and and S8 ultra more and more... I love my airpods
Great video. I published an article in my student newspaper on the same topic last year of how Android is far superior to iphone.
I'm also fed up with iPhone's closed and limited ecosystem. I'm gonna buy a Galaxy S23+
I know people rave about the Apple eco-system but the idea of it actually puts me off getting an Iphone. I'm scared that one purchase would inevitably lead to another whereas i am more than happy using just my Samsung phone and a windows laptop
Lol, yeah I feel ya. I recently changed from a S23 to Iphone 15 pro (first iPhone ever). I really wanted Lidar for work applications, and face unlock as I often wear gloves, so when they finally implemented USB-C I changed.
..It was not long before I swapped out my Buds 2 pro for Air pods pro 2. Then my Galaxy Watch 4 for Apple Watch Ultra 2. In those cases I was thrilled with the upgrades they are over their Samsung counterparts- but now I'm starting to eye up MacBook's which would functionally be a downgrade over a windows laptop for me, and also swapping my Galaxy tab 7 for an ipad even though I seldom use it... all for that lure of the ecosystem.
Its traps you... thats the truth. Then again it works. If you can do with an Android like the OP then you are going to be fine.
I do appreciate the work space that android provides
I'm a Civil Engineer and I've been using a Macbook and a cheap Realme Android since last three years. There is no problem in transferring photos and documents from Android to Mac and vice-versa like few people say. Never cared about any ecosystem. This entire ecosystem is just a gimmick to sell their products more. Ecosystem is only for professionals like app developers or web designers, for rest of the citizens it's not that big deal.
What do you use for file transfer?
For the air drop alternative, youtuber tausif hussein has used one with his s23 ultra and liked it very much
Lol when you said "hey google" my nest home activated. Very encouraging video, I used to have samsungs from 2011 to 2017 and kind of wish I'd never switched. I got fully enmeshed in the apple ecosystem a few years ago with an iphone, 2 macs, ipad, airpods, and apple watch(back when I had money lol). I do love the cohesiveness of the ecosystem, I love starting a task on my mac and being able to pick it up on my phone but I'm getting kind of annoyed with apple's crap lately though. They had to be legally forced into enabling sideloading and even now they're only grudgingly complying in the EU. I still need a computer or a hacky workaround just to get a custom ringtone on my phone. No consistent back button after 17 years is just ridiculous. Even the base models are too big and chunky now, and the iphone 16s are only going to get bigger. I use an SE 3 now and love it, but it's not going to last forever and rumors say the SE 4 is going to be 6.1" with face ID. Ugh. I absolutely _despise_ face ID and I know I'll be forced into it once my SE3 finally dies, so samsung phones and their fingerprint scanners are looking mighty nice. I can live with a 6.1" phone if it means I get to keep my fingerprint scanner.
Great video. It's nice to be able to use whatever technology you like. Regardless of being Apple or Samsung or any other company.
We need more ecosystem RUclipsrs. I feel like many are all apple or all Android PC. And when people switch they go all in. Get iPhone buy all apple, get android get all windows machines.
We're on the same boat. Got my Galaxy phone, watch and buds. Also, got my MacBook, iPad and airpods. 😂
I have iphone 13 and AW 7& ipad mini 6 in Starlight. I was getting tired of Apple products and got a Samsung s21 FE and loved it so when i got a great deal to trade it in and get the Samsung S23 FE i was in love. I got a samsung 6 watch and a samsung tab 8 and havent switched back yet
Thanks for sharing. I live the “mixed” life as well. I’ve learned workarounds for iMessage, AirMessage, etc.
seperation of work and personal apps and notifications can be done in ios with focus
having lock on apps also can be done with shortcuts
side loading is the only problem you will face
I'm coming back tonight to watch you and let your presentation put me to sleep.
Just today, coming from an aging iPhone XS and being in the Apple ecosystem, I was contemplating (asi in.. what if) buying an S24, S24+ or even an S23 Ultra but after watching this video its definetly a no go. The reason for contemplating the switch was purely economical (iphone prices are just expensive). The reasons explained in this video doesn't really compel me to switch to Android. I just don't do photos, videos or care about the work/life balance. I do care about synching calendars, contacts, notes, email, file sharing and pretty basic office stuff that just works. Even buying a movie from Apple TV without an iPhone would be kind of painful. Then again thanks for sharing!
Thanks for making this video. I am an apple ecosystem user and really wanna try Samsung phone since ios performance recently really sucks (14 pro user), poor battery performance, laggy keyboard, inconsistent with the autofocus, and others.
And multitasking on split screen and try goodlock
Thanks for the insights / content. Some of them might consider it for the upcoming s24
How do you setup a work profile on your s23? I just use the secure folder and people from internet says its the "new" work profile.
Great video. Like you, I too use both eco systems: Apple for computing and Samsung for mobile.
New subscriber here. I really love this content because it's about Samsung Flagship. The way you conveyed the detail is also precise. Keep it up!
Great video as I see benefits from both apple and Samsung too, I use both brands from tablets, phones and cellular smart watches too getting best of both worlds!
NANIIIIII?! Lol jks glad your setup works well for you. Question, if you had an iphone connected to your samsung's hotspot, would you be able to use imessage, facetime and airdrop with your friends?
Watching on my s23 with no regret 😅
For wireless transfer use transfer anywhere or nearby share
Currently using Samsung Galaxy Note 9 and going strong since last 5 years. One of the most important feature for me is "Call Recording".
👏🏽Amen. Note 9 here. Best phone they ever made!
@@m-funkshun Without any doubt.
How do you get a work profile on Samsung?
Great video. I share the same sentiment as I have a Galaxy phone and all my other devices are from Apple. All the best with your channel 👍🏻
Man, you're awesome! I made several workaround videos on ways to connect your Galaxy phone to a Mac, and your method is, by far, the absolute best! I had no idea that Samsung Smart Transfer has a built-in file browser! Android File Transfer is awful, and I was pisse off when Samsung stopped supporting Dex for Macs.
I have almost everything Apple, and for years always had an iPhone and Samsung phone. Late last year, I went with Pixel phone. I do like the Pixel, but in the next week or so will be trading it in for an S24+. I really miss Samsung devices.
Great video! I was especially impressed with the separation between the work and personal life in the operating system.
It's an interesting video from a practical perspective. I've been a Windows and Android guy since the beginning. I'm more open to switch to a MacBook than switching to iPhone right now. Actually only the battery annoys me on my Windows laptop, apart from that I am fine.
Currently I also see more benefits in Android which stop me from switching, the keyboard is an important one, for example. (I use special characters like Á É Ö Ü which are best on special layout only Gboard on Android has)
The Airpods are almost perfect but I'd probably use earbuds with multipoint support (like my current Huawei Freebuds Pro 3 right now).
I have an iMac and I find even the user interface is so confusing and requires so many extra steps to do some stuff like sharing files etc. I hate that if you want to copy/paste and you don't remember their weird keyboard icons that you still end up pulling up the menu to see them. Why can't they they just put CTRL or ALT on their keyboard like everyone else.
Great video, I agree with you love mac laptops and ipads but much prefer Samsung phones. With that bieng said do you happen to know a good way to tether Samsung s23 to macbook pro for internet service when traveling? Thank you so much in advance.
There's a RUclips video that shows you how to do this exactly. ENTER into RUclips Search bar:
Galaxy S20/S20+: How to Share Internet Connection To Macbook Pro Using Bluetooth Tethering
Great video. I am in the same boat with you I have Macs at home and I've always had Samsung phones. The file sharing is my biggest aggravation . I'd like to know how you get smart switch to work on a Mac. My understanding was it does not work. With new Max Sonoma, I cannot even get DEX to work
Thank you for this! I was wondering if it was pointless to get a Macbook as someone with Samsung phone and tablet. But, this is good to know it doesn't make that much of a difference if I never switch my phone.
REALLY good & useful video, Jeffrey !! 👍🏻 You've earned a new Sub 🙌🏻
Perhaps the only things you left out are Samsung's DeX mode, RAM Plus, Developer Options, and the general customization options of Samsung/Android (which could even include unlocking bootloaders, rooting options, etc -- for the uber-nerds 😅).
Ram Plus Is garbage unless you got cheap A series
And no need for bootloader or rooting
@@DENVEROUTDOORMAN It's most def NOT "garbage" 😆 That said, I lowered RAM Plus on my Galaxy S22 Ultra from 8 GB to 4 GB, and haven't seen a major difference (I'm still able to keep ~200 tabs open in my mobile Chrome browser with seemingly zero overall performance "hiccups" 😁).
I've heard many arguments against RAM Plus, some less credible (it degrades flash-drive longevity & performance), some a bit more credible (it can lower battery life & slow the phone's performance). One thing I continue to ❤️ about Samsung is that they give us so many OPTIONS to customize our devices as WE wish.
@sharkfintech5893 nope still garbage 200 tabs???? I got 12 gb Ram don't need to lose storage for more
@@DENVEROUTDOORMAN Hey "genius" -- I have the 512 GB /12 GB RAM model...of which I'm only using 71 GB of ROM. So I'm happy to allocate 8 GB of that ROM to virtual RAM for increased multi-tasking. I don't believe that I'll ever get _close_ to using the remaining 433 GB of storage (out of an effective 504 GB) !
I like the secure folder the most in a Samsung device
#metoo. It's extremely underrated, just like Samsung DEX.
Awesome I do the same thing , everything apple but I use Samsung ultra eventually in the year I’ll be out of the rotten apples. 😂. Awesome video have a blessed day
I love samsung phones lots of customization and I love the one ui
Iphone has too much restrictions imagine buying a phone that too expensive and you don't have freedom to do what you want
The things the post important for me is not having a clipboard on iPhones. Btw amazing videos keep it up man
First time seeing your vids, I liked them, thumbs up for you!
You are smart & intelligent🗿 I myself love MacBook/iPad for the value and power they deliver but not going to buy any other product they offer. You my friend have my respect 😂
There are dozens of us! Well, I use a Pixel as my phone but still Android + Mac. I switched to iPhone for almost a year and found iOS to be disorganized. iOS will show you an email notification for an email you read a week ago, while Android will clock that message as read, and remove the notification (but you can still view the notifaction history if you want to!). I use my phone as an organization tool and always find Android to be more powerful in that regard. But I will say, as a Mac user, I often wondered if there were things I just didn't know how to do on an iPhone. For example, on Mac, for years I did not know that you could press comand/shift/G for a path window, because on Windows, it's obvious where you can select/copy/paste the file path in the file explorer. I just never assumed that "go to folder" in the "Go" menu was the same thing as "folder path". I definitely felt dumb when I realized it, but honestly, I think it's just too bad for Apple. Lastly, I have never tried AirPods because all of the reviews said it's a bad experience with non-Apple devices, so I went with Sony XM4.
What Mac app do you use to browse your phone?
Being a Mac and Android user, it has always been a huge pain.
I actually made a video for this: ruclips.net/video/qpKlECXdXUY/видео.html
That Director's View is dope. Does that appear in your camera role as it does in this video? Meaning, does it export a single video of the Picture-in-Picture?
The pip only works with the front camera if you want to do vlog style and it records which ever rear camera you have selected.
@@jeffreytu that seems like it would be great for lots of applications. It’s essentially two cameras in one; if you want a POV AND for the viewer to see whatever you’re looking at. I had no clue Samsung could do this.
I just returned my 3rd Pixel 8 after a great run with a Pixel 7. Currently on an iPhone 15 Pro and it’s just meh.
From the UK. Here iphone users tend to use WhatsApp over imessage. I am on the Google ecosystem and agree with all that's said + I have two Google Home displays that show my Google photos something not possible with apple. U didn't mention many other useful android features! 5 volume controls, reverse charging, ability to pause a video when recording. OTG file sharing. The list gets longer!!
@@jeffreytuthe thing I hate about iOS, gestures......I hate that shit to death and prefer the old 3 way navigation button. I've been using these 3 keys since android phones had the middle physical home buttons. Apple is making the iPhone trash year after year but isheeps are too lethargic to notice that
@@chrislickorish6933not only WhatsApp but using an iPhone without Google apps is completely dull.
I like Samsung allot because of its One UI and Customization ❤
Same. I use Xperia 1 V, macbook, ipad and ipod. I cannot stands iPhones, alwasys get bored of them after a couple of months.
One of the most annoying things about android is the apps are not as good as they are on iOS
Google maps is so superior to the apple one
How do you transfer your photos from a Samsung phone to a Macbook? I have been struggling!
What do you use to manage android on your Mac? This has always been an issue.
I use Windows and don't need to manage Android, why would you?
what do you think about galaxy tab? with quick sharing function and dex?
I'm in the same boat. I have an iMac and iPad at home and at work I use two iMac computers, but I'm still rockin' Samsung phones. The only reason I consider switching to iPhone is for the same reasons: airdrop and iMessage, but I don't want to be trapped in Apple's ecosystem. It's a lot more difficult to go from iphone to Android than it is vice versa, especially now that Apple decided to do away with traditional SIM cards.
Using an Android gives me more options in choosing different brands and phones, which I like.
silly reason why i stick to samsung is because of the samsung app Sound Assistant... it has this feature called individual app volumes. weird that you cannot do the same thing with other android phones. >.
Sound Assistant is great. They should just include it by default in the OS! I found out about Sound Assistant because I was trying to record audio while music was playing. By default the music would just stop when I pressed record, but Sound Assistant has a "multi sound" option that enables sound to play while in camera app.
it's a great feature, and samsung knows it. so you know, stick with them to have it. lol @@jeffreytu
@@jeffreytuthe material You on android 13/one UI 5 is something you won't see on iPhones, not only one UI is giving stock android vibes with material you everywhere and Google feed on the far left but offers more customisation than the pixel itself.
The base iPhone 15 and even the pro max still uses USB c 2.0, the same USB c found on Galaxy a04.
@@danteerskine7678material you sucks
Ha I have it in reverse. I'm a long iiPhone user (and iPad), but I just recently bought a Tab 9s Ultra because of the amazing OLED screen because I meanly consume media on my tablet!
Nothing at all wrong with that setup. I love my Samsung ecosystem (the only pieces missing are a Galaxy watch & laptop).
I far prefer my Tab S7 Plus to my iPad, esp for productivity. If you ever decide to use your Tab S9 Ultra that way, you'll find that DeX is a game-changer.
@@sharkfintech5893Even though I use a Mac for work I've never used my iPad as an extended screen. I think it's best to enjoy everything if it's any good without having any weird childish biases towards the different players (Apple vs Android, etc.). If you're smart you can only profit from some diversity; I use a Windows PC for mainly gaming, A PS5 for great exclusives, a Mac Book Pro M1 for work, an iPhone and now my Galaxy Tab for TV Shows in bed haha!
Might want to change that secure folder code after this video 🙂
Well presented!
Being able to swiftly share any files to ALL KINDS OF DEVICE must be like a basic thing between the technology world and not like an ecosystem exclusive-only feature just saying. Other things can go and still be ecosystem exclusive maybe idk
where you can separate personal and work profile? i just use secure folder for the work stufs.i have the regular s23
So what are your reasons to keep the other apple devices and not going completely samsung ?
The M series MacBooks are on another level. After adjusting to MacOS it's near impossible to go back
One suggestion I have that you have not mention in your video is Quick Share, you can use this to transfer files wirelessly to a non samsung user i.e. iphones, laptop and other android devices, all you need to have is fast internet connection, as the files will be uploaded on the cloud and will stay there for almost 2 days. So this is good if you need to transfer files wirelessly. hope this help!!!
What software do you use to connect the samsung phone to the mac book? I had issues with diect connect :( Thank you
I use an iPhone, AirPod Pros, and an iWatch. I built my own PC for photo editing, I own a Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Plus, and use an Android TV box. Why? I’m more into the Google ecosystem. OneDrive, Google Home, Gmail, etc. The game changer for me is natively installing Android apps on Windows. Anyone that tried it knows. The Apple ecosystem is so locked down. I rather mix and match brands and still enjoy the features they offer.
Tried two IPhones the XR and 12 Pro Max but happy with Android. S23 Ultra, iPad Pro MacBook Air M3, Garmin watch and Samsung Buds 2 Pro. Works fine.
Im still an Android loyalist, even though I might be getting the iPhone 15. As soon as Apple announced RCS support, my interest in the iPhone dropped like a rock. (I was mostly interested in the iMessage feature.) Though, I would keep the 15 to try, but I probably still prefer my midrange Samsung Galaxy A53 5G even if it's half the price of the iPhone 15.
What is so special or tempting about iMessage? Especially being an Android user? I have installed Beeper and Beeper mini but I did not message anyone on iMessage :D
A seriesis garbage...get S23 or S23+ if you can afford and trade up
If you tamper with the notification settings on samsung, you are lost.... 10 years with Samsung devices, notifications are the biggest problem they have and that's why I got an iphone.... you can also sideload on an iphone now.. ..also with third party applications you can easily find the director function in the camera...a little searching is needed.....
I use a Mac and a S23. It's just hard to exchange archives between the computer and the cell.
