Depends..... sometimes you get exactly what you pay for....sometimes you get more for what you paid for🤷🏽💯💯💯💯 people always expect $900 Worth of performance from a $300 phone🤣🤣🤣🤣if you want a great phone pay the premium price.
That's why I'm not mad at OnePlus for moving into premium prices because people were getting too spoiled....if i had a company, I'm not going to keep selling my stuff for cheap if I'm dishing out premium quality💯💯💯💯
A word of advice if you think androids don't get as good updates as apple and it doesn't matter what phone we have then you are very ignorant my galaxy note 9 gets a update every month and I've been holding on to it for almost 2 years
Is this true for a new phone? The Galaxy S10 came out in March 2019. How were they in new condition, in Jan-March of 2020? Actually, how much are they now?
Or buy an iphone every year, then sell it when the new generation comes. If you keep your iphone in good condition, you can sell it without too much loss and get to enjoy a brand new one every year. Thats the beauty of Iphone, but because of the insane value loss of android phones, you probably shouldnt go for the same strategy there.
@@NM_rocker That could be an issue, but my son was still using my S6 Edge up until last year without issues, so lack of security updates might not bother me. I'll just have to see.
I agree, all this BS about which is better. I've the best solution which works for me. I've a Samsung phone and an ipad. The best of both worlds. Great video 👍
@@elijahorr4188 but iphones gpu is a way slower than Samsungs gpu. IPhone is good in processor. Anything else is slower. So for games and graphics you need an android phone.
Crazy how my iphone 6s with latest ios is still smooth as butter since i got it on the launch date. Granted i had to change the battery after 2 and a half years but iphones have amazing longetivity.
Sounds like you are lucky as heck. I had the worst luck with iPhones every single one of them would die in like a year and a half. As soon as I switch to Galaxy I've had it for almost 5 years now. I don't know if iPhone hates me or what... But I'm never going back to iPhone 😂😂😂
One of the best reviews on this platform!!! I have been going back and forth regarding Apple and Samsung. I have a iPhone XsMax good phone but wanted a Samsung for the very reasons you outlined here! But I am sticking with IPhone because for me it works for me. You’re right the fights between iPhone users and android is plain stupid.
Like everyone else here I'm going to comment without watching the video. Samsung. Now that I got that out of the way I'm going to finish watching the video!
You helped me so much in being able to select my most recent purchase. I went with a refurbished note 10+. I got the 512 gb storage for half the price of the same phone brand new. Paid outright so no payments attached to my phone bill. I am expecting to keep it 3 years. Thank you so much!
@@RoyalBoyle78 wanting it and needing it is different if am going to buy a new phone after a year do the updates the phone gets once its sold make a difference to me? Or do apps stop working the year the updates stop if you don't get 5 years of updates.
Android has been my preference. Love the freedom it provides. If I want to download music straight to my device, I can. Don't like having to rely on iTunes to get it on an iPhone.
@@ejb8326 all that freedom makes u susceptible to lots of viruses and malware im sticking with Apple not only for the software updates but the apps are way better on ios
@@ejb8326 ios is just better it has better optimization once u start downloading from third party apps ur gonna get some malware its happened to every android I've ever owned
If you update your phone every 3 years, then it doesn't matter one bit does it. 5 years, get an iphone. But watch this space. Google WILL have updates for 5 years in a couple of yers...because they are making their own silicone.
SidewindeR they last a VERY long time. People are still using an iPhone 6s and getting software updates. So for long term, yes, apples phones might just be the best value. For short term, maybe not
@@Black-Circle eh but overpriced so of course service is better my point is one plus is on the fine line between them all. They last very long, tend to not decrease in price much, good updates etc
As an apple fan boy I prefer my apple device,all though they are not innovative in body design compare to samsung and their android UI,I still prefer my iphone,the recent offers I get from my network provider,is cool for me,I get the new devices with full spec on financed payment, nothing can make me change to any other phone,I believe in few years time apple will develop it screen design to be or even better that most android smart phones.
I recently added a new line ( we had 3 now 4 ) to take advantage of the BOGO offer as I upgraded a current line . Need fine print question answered . I recently added a 4th line to take advantage of the BOGO , as I upgraded one of the original 3. My question is if I cancel one of the original lines ( that does not have an installment ) will it cancel my promotion on the new line ? I know AT & T has a 90 day rule if you cancel any lines within 90 days of a promotion it gets kicked off . Does Verizon have this same fine print ? I've called and asked several different stores and I keep on getting different answers .
You can cancel any line except the recently upgraded line and the new line . Also , how was false churn not be passed on to the customer yet ? If you cancel one of the 2 lines thats not involved in the promo , thats fine . would recommend waiting until you see the BOGO credits on your bill before cancelling an old line though

Android all the way for a smartphone. iPad Pro all the way for a tablet. I don't care how good any smartphone is, I am not keeping it for 5 years. I want new Tech and customization when it's available, and not years later. My smartphone is like clothing, will not be wearing most of it in 3 years time even though it's fine. For something that you use and hold in your hand every day of your present and future life it needs to be exiting. An iPhone is far from it. The iPad is a different ballgame and it's excellent apart from some minor things.
@@tindelldavis5801 lol im still using my s10plus that i got at launch and its really stressing me out. i opted not to get the s20 in favor of the note 20 and its really hard.
@@tindelldavis5801 yeah, sure .. Everybody has their own priorities and the same goes to spending money on such devices. If you can use it for many years than that's the best solution as far as investment but I can't see myself using any smartphone longer than 2 years. I get bored after 6 months and I will be fine untill 12 months, then it starts to get old and after 24 months I am fed up with it. And I never break, bend or damage my phones.
Samsung for me. I LOVE LOVE LOVE iOS though. Their updates are insane! If you consider the new SE 2020, you get a top of the line chipset, 5yrs of operating system updates, for a fraction of the normal cost of a smart phone. Android won't do that. Smh....I'm good with the freedom of my S10+ and tab S6 though. Yesterday on my S10+ I got 9 hours screen on time with 34% remaining while it was on High Performance mode. Thats pretty insane of you think about it. Yea....Im good!
I have a Galaxy S10 as my main and an iPhone XR as a backup and it saddens me honestly knowing that the XR will outlast the S10 serval times over and the S10 is a great phone
To be really honest I'm fully into the Samsung ecosystem, watch, tab, phone, TV, ear bud's. Yet I strongly think about making a bold move and getting the iPhone 12 pro & a series 5/6 watch. The fact everything works so well and everything is so optimized is pulling me their way. Call me crazy haha
Sorry Travis, I've had both... neither Samsung nor Iphone, the best (for me) is OnePlus, my new device since 2019, really enjyoing my OP8pro! Regards from Spain ✌️ you're one of my fav youtubers 💯
When people ask me which camera brand is better, I always tell them - go play with them. If you like the feel of Nikon, go with it. If you prefer Canon, go with it. If you already have glass for either, stay with it. If you're already in the iOS ecosystem, it's easy to stay. I have been an iPhone user from 3Gs days until 6 Plus. Apple's customer services went sour and I switched. I have been an Android user for a few years and LOVE being able to customize my experience. I was a very happy iOS user when I was in the Apple camp; I am a very happy camper now. They are tools - it all depends on what you want.
I was a long term android user...I was on Android for 8 years but have family members who have always used iPhone...Just seems like iPhones last way longer before they start having issues. I switched from Android to iPhone last week (iPhone 11) .
Dereck Pear It’s honestly not as horrible as I thought it would be...I was always under the false impression that once you’re locked into the whole Google eco system it’s just hard to switch over I had no problems switching over my contacts, pics, etc from android to iPhone...If I knew it was that easy I would have switched a couple years ago, but yeah, I’m really enjoying my phone...Kind of miss the freedom to customize it but phone longevity is just way more important to me now
You pretty much nailed it on the head, Travis. I currently own and bought a one plus 7 pro last year because I wanted a premium phone with a good camera, massive internal storage, big battery, quick updates and fast charging for less than $800. I only used android (mainly Samsung) in the past and didn't want to sacrifice my familiarity of Android's customizable ecosystem. Now that I am with one plus I also learned that i love the 90 hz refresh rate. Now that I think about it... Everyone in my family uses android. Great video. 👍
7:37 Actually if you want to get a little bit of both, your best choice is a Pixel phone. - Best software support on Android- 3 years of updates, constant security patches and first access to newest betas and features (still not on Apple's level, but still nice) - Slightly better value retention than Samsung and others (at least in my experience) - Plus all the things you'd already expect to see in an Android phone
First I’m not a fan boy of one or the other more. They both are great for what they do. That said I have IPhone and IPad Pro 2020. I went to Android and realized how much I don’t care about customizing phones or the latest gadget that I try one time and never use again. I prefer great apps and a solid workhorse phone. Too me that’s IPhone. It also communicates better with other Apple devices. I also play music recording and do art on my Apple gear. Android isn’t really built for that stuff. It’s amazing for gadgets and customization but otherwise I really like it. I still think the IPhone camera is better than most others. The google camera is amazing but IPhone is equally amazing. The video is the best on iPhone hands down. I worked 10 years in that world of photography and videography. I got a little experience.
Had option to change to iPhone but I just don't think it's possible. I don't need 5 years update cos my phone stop being my primary phone for just 2 years. I don't even need an ecosystem. I just want a maximum tweakable phone
Great 👍 content amigo! Really enjoy 😉 your unbiased videos 🙏 I go back and forth with my android & IOS amigos! I’m definitely sharing this vídeo with them!
Hi Travis. You are one of the best and fun people to properly explain technology to people around the world. I love watching your videos, explanations are really good. Greetings from Sweden. Felix
Both have ups and downs but Android is starting to lose all of it's selling points with Apple slowly closing the gap in both hardware choices and software customization
I tried too. Impossible for me because i work with it. With an iphone you should buy a mac and other expensive stuff to appreciate, and i don't want to spend so much money. Now i'm going to buy an s20 ultra and give back the iphone 11 pro max 512gb.
This is sadly true. I am not brand loyal by any means. But, when all of your family, and everybody at your work all have iPhones, it kind of makes it difficult to go against the grain and choose an Android over Apple. I think that is why most people choose iPhones over android. It’s not that they think that they are all that, it is just that everybody else in there circle has an iPhone. I own a XS Max, but drool over the Note 10 plus.
@@Bigbiceps301 you don't need software support to use a phone, it's only if you want the latest features, and they usually get security updates for much longer anyway so unless you want all the new features you're fine tbh.

I mean you can get an older iphone like a used iPhone 8 and u will end up getting IOS 14 & 15 and get a used Pixel 3 that will probably get Android 11 & 12. Those both have good specs and will get atleast 2 more years of update. Theyre around $250 or $300 for the Plus and XL version.
I’m confused I’ve had iPhones for last ten years had 4s 6plus 7 plus my fav iPhone XS was my fav of all Time night light premium feel look just got 14 pro biggest mistake these new iPhones are ridiculous heavy bulky hurts ur hands annoying camera bump I just don’t know whether to go for Samsung now idk
i've had both android and iphone's .....prefer android all the way, like you said in the video....i do my own thing, don't usually follow the crowd, like to have the option to customize as much as i please, have many different types of phones i.e. rugged/big screen/unlocked chinese etc....so because of that i have only one real option Android ........
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note Ultra. I used to have the IPhone 7 plus. I love the my Note device and I've had no issues with it. I love the camera and software and the phone is FAST. However, after watching several videos including this one about androids lack of updates I'm considering getting the IPhone 11 pro max. I was told and have seen many videos which state my Samsung will get a guaranteed 3 years of updates. Please share your overall thoughts.
I fell right into the Apple ecosystem.... MacBook Pro 2018, 2020 iPad Pro 11", iPhone 11 Pro Max, AirPods 2, Airapods Pro, PowerBeats Pro, and Apple Watch Series 4..... I know I'm a sucker but they all just work!
Iphone all the way. I'm using a 4.5 yr old 6S Plus as my daily driver over my Note 9. I'm in the ecosystem and I love it, things just flow together with such ease. I can work on my MBP and still get my emails, text messages or even a FaceTime call. I can airdrop files to or from my MBP to my iPhone or iPad. And as you stated, I'll be getting iOS 14, on a 5 yr old device. Can't beat that with a stick.
I have had my 6s+ for close to 5 years - still alive after too many drops... I was waiting for a 12 plus, but might go with an SE plus if it comes out soon! I love being able to airdrop photos to friends, other devices, or people I have just met without needing to text or email it.., I love that I can start a note on my phone, and the note is instantly on my laptop and iMacs, I love the way my calendar syncs instantly... I love the way iCloud works too - I have Dropbox, google drive, and iCloud, and use all 3 for different purposes. :)
Was a galaxy green bubble since 2010 recently got iPhone 11 pro max iMessage is 🔥 only thing I miss is split screen and “free music “ and “what’s on my screen”
Thank you for another great video. I like your Explanations, thoughts and humor. It´s a shame this channel after one year does not have 100 K subscribers by now. I never skip a video. You make great content and sure help a lot of people when they need to buy a device or other tec. You are not just a youtuber, more like a (tekkie) friend you like to hang out with. Keep the good work Travis.
I found it android last along time 5 to 6 years. I did buy a LG phone for my brother in Haiti. I buy it for $50 at Walmart. It's been 5 years still holding up the phone. In USA we got more opportunities to keep changing phone whenever you want.
This is perfect timing! I’ve been with Samsung since the S3, and when my S7 stopped working, my mother gave me her old IPhone 7 and I really enjoyed using it! It was reliable and for a four year old phone now, I’m glad it got iOS 14! But now I’m not sure what to get, I still like Samsung quite a lot but the thought of not knowing whether I’ll get any software support after two years with the Samsung and whether that will affect me!
ive had iphones & was'nt that thrilled with them , so then i changed to android & never looked back , i'm afraid i'm a stylys addict , so it's got to be samsung for me , & ive had quite a few , they're quite robust phones , & i love changing my background & sidebar quite regularly lol , & i'm not too fussed about all the updates , some people seem obssessed about it like it's the end of the world . i think you should just use your phone & enjoy it .
Had an iPhone11 Pro Max and I had WiFi connectivity issues along with RAM management issues. Got tired of it and got an Android. Issue solved! I am so happy now.
@@hankbellows I would be connected to WiFi and all of a sudden would lose my connection to WiFi. This would happen constantly. The weird part is my son has the iPhone11 and never had this problem. As far as RAM issues, I would always run into the problem where I would have 4 tabs open for example and would then launch RUclips. The video would not start playing until I close some of the tabs which were already opened. Sometimes opening IG, the feed would not update unless I closed the tabs that were already opened. These are just some examples. As far as the phone I have now, it's very interesting. I changed it up and went for a lowered tier of a phone this time around. I went with the LG V60 ThinQ with the dual screen. This phone is SO underrated. I am in love with it. The battery life is just as good as the 11 Pro Max and maybe even better. No phone came close with battery life to the 11 Pro Max but this phone is just as good or better. Multi-tasking with the dual screen is mind blowing. The phone is perfect for me. Everyone likes different things.
People talk as if when your Android phone is no longer on the latest version of the OS it's suddenly becomes redundant and doesn't work any more which is of course completely untrue. Under a manufacturers skin it's hard to even tell what version of Android you're even running. Your apps will continue to be updated and your phone will work as well as it ever has. If you have a lower spec budget phone you may technically be able to install 5 years of updates on it but it will probably run like cr@p. Better to have an older version of Android that runs well than a newer version that runs badly. Good article talking about how Android OS updates really aren't a big deal any more. www.sammobile.com/opinion/googles-android-updates-overrated-samsung-phones/
There's something about updates on Android that I don't see too many people talking about. A great part of the OS is updated through the Play Store. Browser, watch, system apps like Samsung One UI Home, Push Service etc. That differs from iOS. Even about security, I've been recieving monthly updates. My mom's S8 is still recieving it. But of course there's a long way to catch up iOS about it.
Hey Travis, Jose from Puerto Rico. I'm on the fence on this one. The other day you told me that if I'm in the Apple Eco-system (which I am), to go with the iPhone. I currently own a Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ as my main driver. So let's see what Apple and Android in September or October bring to the table. Like I said to you before, I like the inter-connectivity Apple brings with all their devices. But the Galaxy Note 10+ I have is no slouch. Also, as I understood it from their recent presentation for developers, is the fact that Apple is cutting the cord with Intel in favor of their own chip which in theory will unify their products even more. Technology is evolving so quickly nowadays that it's hard to keep up with it, but it sure is exciting to watch.
@@ericablue32 I agree, but many tech folks are moving to Apple this year. The Note phones have lead the market the last two years. It is now time for Apple to be the in spotlight. How much will Samsung give customers on a Note 10 plus or the S20 to move to the next Note?
There's nothing dark about it, it's what he wants , besides both OS are coming closer in features though Android still has the customization as an edge . All in all, if Apple tend to make their OS open source, I'm very sure majority won't buy and iPhone rather go for a third party OEM with an iOS as operating system
First iPhone I had was 3GS back in the day, then switched to Android for a couple of Galaxy phones. Wasn’t until iPhone 5 came out that I went back to iOS but since then it’s been iOS nearly all the way. I did switch to Huawei Mate 20 Pro as felt I wanted a change from iOS and is an excellent phone. I enjoyed the ability to customise it more for the first few weeks or so but then the novelty wore off. When I was less than half way through my 2 yr contract I really began to miss iOS as everything just seems slicker and most people I know use iPhones also, so really missed I message. My son was upgrading to an iPhone 11 Pro Max and had recently had his XS Max replaced under warranty. I decided to switch my SIM card to the XS Max and it’s been in it ever since. When my Mate 20 Pro contract ends I will keep the iPhone and move to SIM only again. I don’t care how great the next iPhone is I’ll be keeping this until at least later next year. It’s taken a long time (bout 22 yrs) but I don’t feel I need to upgrade to the latest handsets as regularly any more.
All excellent points. I realized that I'm more about having the cutting edge features and a really nice display, so after years of iPhones I went to my Galaxy S20 last year (after watching a bunch of your videos!) I love having a new phone more often than the normal person and Samsung has some bitchin' trade in offers. I had an iPhone 12 briefly and dearly missed the display and customization ability of the S20 so I returned the 12 lol.
One thing you did not mention is that accessories for iPhones, and Apple devices in general, are intentional specific to Apple and expensive. Even third party options are hard to find. With Android phones the connections they have (for example micro USB, USB-C) are common among other Android devices and most electronics such as speakers, chargers and headphones (for those that still have a headphone jack). Apple's proprietary connections make traveling cumbersome, if not in the ecosystem.
I have an iPhone 11 Pro and I like it a lot. But if you want to upgrade from an 8 or below I’d suggest getting a X or XS. The price for a 11 pro is NOT worth it. Picking up a used 1 month phone would definitely be better for both price and specs.
Another intelligent video on a rather perplexing question. We have considered an iPhone a few times, but the cost ($$$$) and lack of essentials (Google Assistant, Personalization & multitasking to name some) kept us on Android. We have a renewed Note 10 (thank you Travis) and a Samsung tablet. Both are synced to a point that messages and phone calls can be had by either. Plus a Galaxy Active 2 Watch that also handles calls and texts. All 3 cost the same as one iPhone pro max.
I bought a Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite smartphone back in June 3rd. I live the battery, bigger screen, and the triple rear camera module. With a 48 MP Ultra Wide angle, 12 MP Wide angle, and 5 MP Macro lens you have the world right in front of your eyes for photos and videos. The 32 MP Front facing came is good for Selfies, small group portraits and videos. Along with 8GB of Ram, coupled with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 Processor, Samsung has a phone that can play intense games like "Call of Duty" real smooth. At $449.99 on sale at Best Buy. This Galaxy S10 Lite smartphone is a great value at this price.
I just got a budget Blu G90 phone for just $129, it has a 6.5 in screen with 4 gigs of ram and 64 gigs of rom. I also have a iPhone 8 Plus which I use on a daily basis, I just got the Blu for a backup phone.
Oneplus... 7tpro imo. Unless you have an absolute stack of money laying about I cant imagine any highish end phone is better than that or the S10 lite.
I'll buy the best bang for the buck. Keep it until it gets slow then upgrade. I am against looking at phones as a fashion statement. Its a communication device.
You are right, iPhones get their updates more offer, but let's be real,pay of these updates are just small things (not essential nothing significant), when Android phones get updates, they are very significant.
I have iphone 11 pro max and samsung galaxy s20 plus.. In my experience samsung is hands down best for multimedia and viewing.. but iphone is great for social networking.
What type of buyer are you ? Simplicity and last that would be iPhone Love to have the lastest and switch out phones every year or 2 that would be Android buyer. People who care about updates and security that would be iPhone Resale iPhone Love Android without extra features that would be a Google Pixel buyer. As you can see it's really up to you and understanding what's important to you . The advice I give people to learn Android buy a Google Pixel phone before you purchase a Samsung Galaxy phone . Normally this advice is for iPhone users who never used Android before. Will be surprised how stock Android is just as simple as IOS .
Travis, you do know most of the people that buy phones from $100 to $300 can purchase the iPhone 7/7 Plus or even iPhone 8/8 Plus depending on where they purchase it from. Sure they are not new but beggars can't be picky. Boostmobile had a deal for the iPhone 8 Plus for $300 until they ran out of stock. And of course there is Amazon and Ebay that have deals from time to time. If anyone is looking for new iphone, they better be ready to pony up.
I live in a house divided...I'm definitely an iOS guy and my wife will never give up her Android (Samsung Galaxy). Even though almost all of the family uses iPhones she won't give up her Samsung. So be it. We both get done what we need to get done.
OneUI all the way! No other android OEM even comes close to the things you can do to your Samsung phone! Customizability, automation, ease of use and control over every aspect are what's most important to me and this is exactly what Samsung provides. I can never see myself switching to any other platform.
I went from an iphone 10 to a samsung s10 and now am going back to iphone, i just pre-order the 12 pro, i really like the samsung s10 but in my opinion the iphone feels more polished less glitchy?
The answer is easy to answer. If you are in USA where Samsung provides Qualcomm's SoC, there is no need to buy the iPhone. If outside of the USA, then its debatable.
Best solution that I have also personally chosen is getting both the new iPhone and the new Samsung have both and also bought a Huawei mate 30 pro and spent 5000$ on phones I’m so happy this is phone addiction I admit
My Pixel 2 Xl released in 2017 is getting android 11. Pixel 3 is getting 11 and 12. If you want android updates , google is the way to go. If you want best value , LG makes the best phones pound for pound. I got a lg g8 for 200 amazon renewed for ATT. Snapdragon 855 for $200 is unheard of
Great video. My second hand Samsung A31 was only $280 in N.Z dollars. I hope it lasts 5 years or more. I dont really like the feel of Apple phones or the price. My neighbour friend is a polarised fan boy an you are the voice of reason. Thank you for this video!
I’ve had the best Androids and the best iPhones, I always miss one when I have the other. I’m sticking to iPhone because I use a Mac and an iPad, but I miss the Galaxy Note series.
Its all about being on latest security updates.. yes, apple gives an edge here to its ecosystem users but relatively high price points.. my opinion is to go for android mid-tier looking purely at specs and value for buck ignoring manufacturers in the name of privacy (as Travis rightly pointed, as soon as you are online, no point in talking privacy) and get on to new generation of phones as soon as security updates stall.. we will always get to experience latest at competitive price points.. !!
Budget 100 dollars : Used iPhone SE 64gb 350 dollars: Pixel 4A 128gb 450 dollars: S10 lite 128gb 600 dollars: Used iPhone XS Max 256gb/ Used Note 10 plus 256gb 850 dollars: iPhone 11 256gb 1250 dollars: 11 pro Max 256gb Don't complicate your life so much.
Yes!!!!!!!!! The one thing that sucks about me useing Samsung. Is ghe resale value goes down faster than a Bmw or Mercedes. Well not that fast. But you get the point. But the positive about that is to the buyer. You can find a fairly new galaxy device at a huge discount 2 to 3 months after it comes out.
Maaannnnnnnn TRAVIS!! The last comment about going to war about who's better and everyone giving everyone crap about the phone or operating system they use is the best ending ever!! I've always wondered why so many people care about what phone the other has. The way I see it, as long as I can call you and you me and there being ways we can video chat it's golden! Let's stop the hate like you said! #THATSDUMB
I had a Samsung A15 and it did not work in certain places. Then I switched back to iPhone and got a iPhone XR and it worked where the Samsung phone didn’t.
Travis you mentioned how iPhones hold their value in terms of money. But this is where I feel that Samsung gets the beastly value. A year later you can get a premium flagship in practically mint condition for half the price. 3 updates don't spread over 3 years in Android mostly. It takes about 4 years since every manufacturer has their own twist on the OS and takes a bit longer to push out. Most users don't hold their iPhones for 5 years, so what's the point of being able to update if you never will for those particular people?
How Much Should You Pay For Your Smartphone? I asked, you answered! ruclips.net/video/10lJXff_Mj0/видео.html
Travis MCP in case you can’t figure out what video to make tomorrow, do one on iPads vs Samsung tabs show off your iPad Pro.. 🥪
Depends..... sometimes you get exactly what you pay for....sometimes you get more for what you paid for🤷🏽💯💯💯💯 people always expect $900 Worth of performance from a $300 phone🤣🤣🤣🤣if you want a great phone pay the premium price.
That's why I'm not mad at OnePlus for moving into premium prices because people were getting too spoiled....if i had a company, I'm not going to keep selling my stuff for cheap if I'm dishing out premium quality💯💯💯💯
$500 USD is fair enough in my opinion.
A word of advice if you think androids don't get as good updates as apple and it doesn't matter what phone we have then you are very ignorant my galaxy note 9 gets a update every month and I've been holding on to it for almost 2 years
Either way don't buy a new phone, buy a year old phone for half the price or even less and use it until it breaks.
Thats a good point,but I care about software updates and I'm an android user...
Now, "THAT" makes SENSE ! 👍🏻😎👍🏻
Got a new phone that came out 6 months ago
Is this true for a new phone? The Galaxy S10 came out in March 2019. How were they in new condition, in Jan-March of 2020? Actually, how much are they now?
Or buy an iphone every year, then sell it when the new generation comes. If you keep your iphone in good condition, you can sell it without too much loss and get to enjoy a brand new one every year. Thats the beauty of Iphone, but because of the insane value loss of android phones, you probably shouldnt go for the same strategy there.
Samsung is my preference. I have the Galaxy buds, Galaxy watch, and S10+. I plan to keep it for at least 4 years.
You motivate me to keep my S10+.
The only issue with that plan is that you will run out of security updates before you plan to upgrade. Other than that you’ve made a solid choice
@@NM_rocker I think Samsung offers 4yrs of Security Updates but only 2 yrs of OS updates. I might be wrong but that's how it was the last I heard.
@@texasmade9727
Sounds right.
> I think i read that somewhere as well texas !
@@NM_rocker That could be an issue, but my son was still using my S6 Edge up until last year without issues, so lack of security updates might not bother me. I'll just have to see.
I agree, all this BS about which is better. I've the best solution which works for me. I've a Samsung phone and an ipad. The best of both worlds. Great video 👍

That's what I always tell people
Android is better
I'm a Samsung user because I use it for certain things example: programming.
My friends use apple: video games
We are all happy.
@@elijahorr4188 but iphones gpu is a way slower than Samsungs gpu. IPhone is good in processor. Anything else is slower. So for games and graphics you need an android phone.
Crazy how my iphone 6s with latest ios is still smooth as butter since i got it on the launch date. Granted i had to change the battery after 2 and a half years but iphones have amazing longetivity.
True I am still using 6s
Sounds like you are lucky as heck. I had the worst luck with iPhones every single one of them would die in like a year and a half. As soon as I switch to Galaxy I've had it for almost 5 years now. I don't know if iPhone hates me or what... But I'm never going back to iPhone 😂😂😂

One of the best reviews on this platform!!! I have been going back and forth regarding Apple and Samsung. I have a iPhone XsMax good phone but wanted a Samsung for the very reasons you outlined here! But I am sticking with IPhone because for me it works for me. You’re right the fights between iPhone users and android is plain stupid.

You helped me so much in being able to select my most recent purchase. I went with a refurbished note 10+. I got the 512 gb storage for half the price of the same phone brand new. Paid outright so no payments attached to my phone bill. I am expecting to keep it 3 years. Thank you so much!

Android has been my preference. Love the freedom it provides. If I want to download music straight to my device, I can. Don't like having to rely on iTunes to get it on an iPhone.
Um. I have an iPhone with about 4000 songs on it. Haven’t used iTunes in years.

If you update your phone every 3 years, then it doesn't matter one bit does it. 5 years, get an iphone. But watch this space. Google WILL have updates for 5 years in a couple of yers...because they are making their own silicone.

As an apple fan boy I prefer my apple device,all though they are not innovative in body design compare to samsung and their android UI,I still prefer my iphone,the recent offers I get from my network provider,is cool for me,I get the new devices with full spec on financed payment, nothing can make me change to any other phone,I believe in few years time apple will develop it screen design to be or even better that most android smart phones.
I recently added a new line ( we had 3 now 4 ) to take advantage of the BOGO offer as I upgraded a current line . Need fine print question answered . I recently added a 4th line to take advantage of the BOGO , as I upgraded one of the original 3. My question is if I cancel one of the original lines ( that does not have an installment ) will it cancel my promotion on the new line ? I know AT & T has a 90 day rule if you cancel any lines within 90 days of a promotion it gets kicked off . Does Verizon have this same fine print ? I've called and asked several different stores and I keep on getting different answers .
You can cancel any line except the recently upgraded line and the new line . Also , how was false churn not be passed on to the customer yet ? If you cancel one of the 2 lines thats not involved in the promo , thats fine . would recommend waiting until you see the BOGO credits on your bill before cancelling an old line though

Android all the way for a smartphone.
iPad Pro all the way for a tablet.
I don't care how good any smartphone is, I am not keeping it for 5 years. I want new Tech and customization when it's available, and not years later.
My smartphone is like clothing, will not be wearing most of it in 3 years time even though it's fine.
For something that you use and hold in your hand every day of your present and future life it needs to be exiting.
An iPhone is far from it.
The iPad is a different ballgame and it's excellent apart from some minor things.

@@tindelldavis5801 yeah, sure .. Everybody has their own priorities and the same goes to spending money on such devices.
If you can use it for many years than that's the best solution as far as investment but I can't see myself using any smartphone longer than 2 years. I get bored after 6 months and I will be fine untill 12 months, then it starts to get old and after 24 months I am fed up with it. And I never break, bend or damage my phones.
Samsung for me. I LOVE LOVE LOVE iOS though. Their updates are insane! If you consider the new SE 2020, you get a top of the line chipset, 5yrs of operating system updates, for a fraction of the normal cost of a smart phone. Android won't do that. Smh....I'm good with the freedom of my S10+ and tab S6 though. Yesterday on my S10+ I got 9 hours screen on time with 34% remaining while it was on High Performance mode. Thats pretty insane of you think about it. Yea....Im good!
Iphone just has that swagger and cool operating system. Had Samsung for years I’ll never go back
I have a Galaxy S10 as my main and an iPhone XR as a backup and it saddens me honestly knowing that the XR will outlast the S10 serval times over and the S10 is a great phone
Bro came in with straight facts 💪 appreciate the honesty Travis 💯
To be really honest I'm fully into the Samsung ecosystem, watch, tab, phone, TV, ear bud's. Yet I strongly think about making a bold move and getting the iPhone 12 pro & a series 5/6 watch. The fact everything works so well and everything is so optimized is pulling me their way. Call me crazy haha
S20 Ultra, Tab S6, Active 2 watch here & I'm also considering moving too. Are we crazy?
Sorry Travis, I've had both... neither Samsung nor Iphone, the best (for me) is OnePlus, my new device since 2019, really enjyoing my OP8pro!
Regards from Spain ✌️ you're one of my fav youtubers 💯
When people ask me which camera brand is better, I always tell them - go play with them. If you like the feel of Nikon, go with it. If you prefer Canon, go with it. If you already have glass for either, stay with it. If you're already in the iOS ecosystem, it's easy to stay. I have been an iPhone user from 3Gs days until 6 Plus. Apple's customer services went sour and I switched. I have been an Android user for a few years and LOVE being able to customize my experience. I was a very happy iOS user when I was in the Apple camp; I am a very happy camper now. They are tools - it all depends on what you want.
I was a long term android user...I was on Android for 8 years but have family members who have always used iPhone...Just seems like iPhones last way longer before they start having issues. I switched from Android to iPhone last week (iPhone 11) .
So how’s the transition been going so far ? Enjoying iOS ?
Dereck Pear It’s honestly not as horrible as I thought it would be...I was always under the false impression that once you’re locked into the whole Google eco system it’s just hard to switch over
I had no problems switching over my contacts, pics, etc from android to iPhone...If I knew it was that easy I would have switched a couple years ago, but yeah, I’m really enjoying my phone...Kind of miss the freedom to customize it but phone longevity is just way more important to me now

Aishani Bush Nice!
I got the product red, the batter life is great
You pretty much nailed it on the head, Travis. I currently own and bought a one plus 7 pro last year because I wanted a premium phone with a good camera, massive internal storage, big battery, quick updates and fast charging for less than $800. I only used android (mainly Samsung) in the past and didn't want to sacrifice my familiarity of Android's customizable ecosystem. Now that I am with one plus I also learned that i love the 90 hz refresh rate. Now that I think about it... Everyone in my family uses android. Great video. 👍
7:37 Actually if you want to get a little bit of both, your best choice is a Pixel phone.
- Best software support on Android- 3 years of updates, constant security patches and first access to newest betas and features (still not on Apple's level, but still nice)
- Slightly better value retention than Samsung and others (at least in my experience)
- Plus all the things you'd already expect to see in an Android phone
“You going to pay though” “you going to pay to play” amen... I felt that right in my wallet...🙃😅🤣
maybe it's just me, but Apple products aren't that much higher than other brands out there.
@@anthonywall1228 I actually think their phones look ugly and outdated now compared to Samsung and OnePlus.
First I’m not a fan boy of one or the other more. They both are great for what they do. That said I have IPhone and IPad Pro 2020. I went to Android and realized how much I don’t care about customizing phones or the latest gadget that I try one time and never use again. I prefer great apps and a solid workhorse phone. Too me that’s IPhone. It also communicates better with other Apple devices. I also play music recording and do art on my Apple gear. Android isn’t really built for that stuff. It’s amazing for gadgets and customization but otherwise I really like it. I still think the IPhone camera is better than most others. The google camera is amazing but IPhone is equally amazing. The video is the best on iPhone hands down. I worked 10 years in that world of photography and videography. I got a little experience.
Had option to change to iPhone but I just don't think it's possible. I don't need 5 years update cos my phone stop being my primary phone for just 2 years. I don't even need an ecosystem. I just want a maximum tweakable phone
Thank you so much for not being bias and giving an honest opinion! Been looking to get a new phone and this really helped.
Great 👍 content amigo! Really enjoy 😉 your unbiased videos 🙏 I go back and forth with my android & IOS amigos! I’m definitely sharing this vídeo with them!
Hi Travis.

Both have ups and downs but Android is starting to lose all of it's selling points with Apple slowly closing the gap in both hardware choices and software customization
I just moved from Samsung to iPhone. Samsung is good, but apple is great.
I tried too. Impossible for me because i work with it. With an iphone you should buy a mac and other expensive stuff to appreciate, and i don't want to spend so much money. Now i'm going to buy an s20 ultra and give back the iphone 11 pro max 512gb.

Babyk oh please... stop being a snowflake 🛑
This is sadly true. I am not brand loyal by any means. But, when all of your family, and everybody at your work all have iPhones, it kind of makes it difficult to go against the grain and choose an Android over Apple. I think that is why most people choose iPhones over android. It’s not that they think that they are all that, it is just that everybody else in there circle has an iPhone. I own a XS Max, but drool over the Note 10 plus.
Finally someone speaking about the longivity and updates and not just the fancy specs and the 120 Hz screen. Thank you!
I just use iPhone because of the ecosystem tbh.
thats the reason im not buying one
i use it because of software support i cant get a new phone every 2 years
Nevermind, in not gonna be using it anymore
@@Bigbiceps301 you don't need software support to use a phone, it's only if you want the latest features, and they usually get security updates for much longer anyway so unless you want all the new features you're fine tbh.

You:Should you buy a Samsung or IPhone?
Me: Why choose, get the best of both worlds, I know I do.
Same dude. I used to use an iPhone 6s Plus but I switched to Samsung S10e because it was under $1000 in Australia
i would if i could afford it but what would actually be lit to me is to have an iphone and a google pixel
I mean you can get an older iphone like a used iPhone 8 and u will end up getting IOS 14 & 15 and get a used Pixel 3 that will probably get Android 11 & 12. Those both have good specs and will get atleast 2 more years of update. Theyre around $250 or $300 for the Plus and XL version.
I used both, 11 pro max 512g and s9 plus 64g, i can say only that iphone is not good to work... but to play and entertainment is the best.
I use both and I get the best of both worlds! I have a 7+ and a S8
I’m confused I’ve had iPhones for last ten years had 4s 6plus 7 plus my fav iPhone XS was my fav of all Time night light premium feel look just got 14 pro biggest mistake these new iPhones are ridiculous heavy bulky hurts ur hands annoying camera bump I just don’t know whether to go for Samsung now idk
i've had both android and iphone's .....prefer android all the way, like you said in the video....i do my own thing, don't usually follow the crowd, like to have the option to customize as much as i please, have many different types of phones i.e. rugged/big screen/unlocked chinese etc....so because of that i have only one real option Android ........
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note Ultra. I used to have the IPhone 7 plus. I love the my Note device and I've had no issues with it. I love the camera and software and the phone is FAST. However, after watching several videos including this one about androids lack of updates I'm considering getting the IPhone 11 pro max. I was told and have seen many videos which state my Samsung will get a guaranteed 3 years of updates. Please share your overall thoughts.
I fell right into the Apple ecosystem.... MacBook Pro 2018, 2020 iPad Pro 11", iPhone 11 Pro Max, AirPods 2, Airapods Pro, PowerBeats Pro, and Apple Watch Series 4..... I know I'm a sucker but they all just work!
Iphone all the way. I'm using a 4.5 yr old 6S Plus as my daily driver over my Note 9. I'm in the ecosystem and I love it, things just flow together with such ease. I can work on my MBP and still get my emails, text messages or even a FaceTime call. I can airdrop files to or from my MBP to my iPhone or iPad. And as you stated, I'll be getting iOS 14, on a 5 yr old device. Can't beat that with a stick.
I have had my 6s+ for close to 5 years - still alive after too many drops... I was waiting for a 12 plus, but might go with an SE plus if it comes out soon! I love being able to airdrop photos to friends, other devices, or people I have just met without needing to text or email it.., I love that I can start a note on my phone, and the note is instantly on my laptop and iMacs, I love the way my calendar syncs instantly... I love the way iCloud works too - I have Dropbox, google drive, and iCloud, and use all 3 for different purposes. :)
Was a galaxy green bubble since 2010 recently got iPhone 11 pro max iMessage is 🔥 only thing I miss is split screen and “free music “ and “what’s on my screen”

Which phone is better? Yes
I found it android last along time 5 to 6 years. I did buy a LG phone for my brother in Haiti. I buy it for $50 at Walmart. It's been 5 years still holding up the phone. In USA we got more opportunities to keep changing phone whenever you want.
This is perfect timing! I’ve been with Samsung since the S3, and when my S7 stopped working, my mother gave me her old IPhone 7 and I really enjoyed using it! It was reliable and for a four year old phone now, I’m glad it got iOS 14! But now I’m not sure what to get, I still like Samsung quite a lot but the thought of not knowing whether I’ll get any software support after two years with the Samsung and whether that will affect me!
Wait for the iPhone 12. It’s going to be pretty great from what we’re seeing
Anonymous tech guy thanks!
ive had iphones & was'nt that thrilled with them , so then i changed to android & never looked back , i'm afraid i'm a stylys addict , so it's got to be samsung for me , & ive had quite a few , they're quite robust phones , & i love changing my background & sidebar quite regularly lol , & i'm not too fussed about all the updates , some people seem obssessed about it like it's the end of the world . i think you should just use your phone & enjoy it .
There was an ad in the video were it shows them people throwing iPhones for durable test
Had an iPhone11 Pro Max and I had WiFi connectivity issues along with RAM management issues. Got tired of it and got an Android. Issue solved! I am so happy now.
Please tell us more about the problems you encountered and what Phone you bought in the end.
@@hankbellows I would be connected to WiFi and all of a sudden would lose my connection to WiFi. This would happen constantly. The weird part is my son has the iPhone11 and never had this problem. As far as RAM issues, I would always run into the problem where I would have 4 tabs open for example and would then launch RUclips. The video would not start playing until I close some of the tabs which were already opened. Sometimes opening IG, the feed would not update unless I closed the tabs that were already opened. These are just some examples. As far as the phone I have now, it's very interesting. I changed it up and went for a lowered tier of a phone this time around. I went with the LG V60 ThinQ with the dual screen. This phone is SO underrated. I am in love with it. The battery life is just as good as the 11 Pro Max and maybe even better. No phone came close with battery life to the 11 Pro Max but this phone is just as good or better. Multi-tasking with the dual screen is mind blowing. The phone is perfect for me. Everyone likes different things.
The debate over which is better is tiring. I have a Note 10+ and a iPhone XS and like them both for what they do differently.
Subjective, it depends on your interests and Needs.
I don't need a new phone. Why am I even watching this?

Travis !! Great video as always !! I'm in your camp. I use both platforms !
People talk as if when your Android phone is no longer on the latest version of the OS it's suddenly becomes redundant and doesn't work any more which is of course completely untrue.
Under a manufacturers skin it's hard to even tell what version of Android you're even running.
Your apps will continue to be updated and your phone will work as well as it ever has.
If you have a lower spec budget phone you may technically be able to install 5 years of updates on it but it will probably run like cr@p. Better to have an older version of Android that runs well than a newer version that runs badly.
Good article talking about how Android OS updates really aren't a big deal any more. www.sammobile.com/opinion/googles-android-updates-overrated-samsung-phones/
There's something about updates on Android that I don't see too many people talking about. A great part of the OS is updated through the Play Store. Browser, watch, system apps like Samsung One UI Home, Push Service etc. That differs from iOS. Even about security, I've been recieving monthly updates. My mom's S8 is still recieving it. But of course there's a long way to catch up iOS about it.
I use to say I will never switch from android, but I just love longevity and updates and how everything works on iOS.
Hey Travis, Jose from Puerto Rico. I'm on the fence on this one. The other day you told me that if I'm in the Apple Eco-system (which I am), to go with the iPhone. I currently own a Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ as my main driver. So let's see what Apple and Android in September or October bring to the table. Like I said to you before, I like the inter-connectivity Apple brings with all their devices. But the Galaxy Note 10+ I have is no slouch. Also, as I understood it from their recent presentation for developers, is the fact that Apple is cutting the cord with Intel in favor of their own chip which in theory will unify their products even more. Technology is evolving so quickly nowadays that it's hard to keep up with it, but it sure is exciting to watch.
Apple is changing the processors in the MacBook products.
I would wait until the iPhone 12 Pro Max comes to market and check the trade price.
The Note 10 Plus is AMAZING!!! Let's start a club. Haha
@@ericablue32 I agree, but many tech folks are moving to Apple this year. The Note phones have lead the market the last two years. It is now time for Apple to be the in spotlight.
How much will Samsung give customers on a Note 10 plus or the S20 to move to the next Note?
@@CT-mo5cs That's precisely the issue Travis was pointing out: The resale value of iPhones.
@@CT-mo5cs Last year Samsung gave a $700 credit towards the Note 10 or Note 10+ if you traded in a Note 9, Galaxy s10e, Galaxy s10, or a Galaxy s10+.
I took your advice Travis and finally got a iPhone XR just will be working getting a 11 pro max soon
Snap!
You've fallen for the dark side
(Congrats on your phone)
There's nothing dark about it, it's what he wants , besides both OS are coming closer in features though Android still has the customization as an edge . All in all, if Apple tend to make their OS open source, I'm very sure majority won't buy and iPhone rather go for a third party OEM with an iOS as operating system
AdexTech ios will never be an open source
First iPhone I had was 3GS back in the day, then switched to Android for a couple of Galaxy phones. Wasn’t until iPhone 5 came out that I went back to iOS but since then it’s been iOS nearly all the way. I did switch to Huawei Mate 20 Pro as felt I wanted a change from iOS and is an excellent phone. I enjoyed the ability to customise it more for the first few weeks or so but then the novelty wore off. When I was less than half way through my 2 yr contract I really began to miss iOS as everything just seems slicker and most people I know use iPhones also, so really missed I message. My son was upgrading to an iPhone 11 Pro Max and had recently had his XS Max replaced under warranty. I decided to switch my SIM card to the XS Max and it’s been in it ever since. When my Mate 20 Pro contract ends I will keep the iPhone and move to SIM only again. I don’t care how great the next iPhone is I’ll be keeping this until at least later next year. It’s taken a long time (bout 22 yrs) but I don’t feel I need to upgrade to the latest handsets as regularly any more.
All excellent points. I realized that I'm more about having the cutting edge features and a really nice display, so after years of iPhones I went to my Galaxy S20 last year (after watching a bunch of your videos!) I love having a new phone more often than the normal person and Samsung has some bitchin' trade in offers. I had an iPhone 12 briefly and dearly missed the display and customization ability of the S20 so I returned the 12 lol.
One thing you did not mention is that accessories for iPhones, and Apple devices in general, are intentional specific to Apple and expensive. Even third party options are hard to find. With Android phones the connections they have (for example micro USB, USB-C) are common among other Android devices and most electronics such as speakers, chargers and headphones (for those that still have a headphone jack). Apple's proprietary connections make traveling cumbersome, if not in the ecosystem.
I have both and use both at the same time. Best of both worlds i think. iPhone and Samsung
Your Intro Song is giving me so much positive vibes!
I have an iPhone 11 Pro and I like it a lot. But if you want to upgrade from an 8 or below I’d suggest getting a X or XS. The price for a 11 pro is NOT worth it. Picking up a used 1 month phone would definitely be better for both price and specs.
Another intelligent video on a rather perplexing question. We have considered an iPhone a few times, but the cost ($$$$) and lack of essentials (Google Assistant, Personalization & multitasking to name some) kept us on Android. We have a renewed Note 10 (thank you Travis) and a Samsung tablet. Both are synced to a point that messages and phone calls can be had by either. Plus a Galaxy Active 2 Watch that also handles calls and texts. All 3 cost the same as one iPhone pro max.
I bought a Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite smartphone back in June 3rd. I live the battery, bigger screen, and the triple rear camera module. With a 48 MP Ultra Wide angle, 12 MP Wide angle, and 5 MP Macro lens you have the world right in front of your eyes for photos and videos. The 32 MP Front facing came is good for Selfies, small group portraits and videos. Along with 8GB of Ram, coupled with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 Processor, Samsung has a phone that can play intense games like "Call of Duty" real smooth. At $449.99 on sale at Best Buy. This Galaxy S10 Lite smartphone is a great value at this price.
I just got a budget Blu G90 phone for just $129, it has a 6.5 in screen with 4 gigs of ram and 64 gigs of rom. I also have a iPhone 8 Plus which I use on a daily basis, I just got the Blu for a backup phone.
Oneplus... 7tpro imo. Unless you have an absolute stack of money laying about I cant imagine any highish end phone is better than that or the S10 lite.
I got me Galaxy A71 for 400 usd and it is a beast for what I need. Will keep it for 2 years or so. Good video.
I'll buy the best bang for the buck. Keep it until it gets slow then upgrade.
I am against looking at phones as a fashion statement. Its a communication device.
I use an 11 Pro and am S9. I'll leave the iPhone 12 until next year but i might trade on my S9 for an S10 lite.
You are right, iPhones get their updates more offer, but let's be real,pay of these updates are just small things (not essential nothing significant), when Android phones get updates, they are very significant.
I have iphone 11 pro max and samsung galaxy s20 plus.. In my experience samsung is hands down best for multimedia and viewing.. but iphone is great for social networking.
What type of buyer are you ?
Simplicity and last that would be iPhone
Love to have the lastest and switch out phones every year or 2 that would be Android buyer.
People who care about updates and security that would be iPhone
Resale iPhone
Love Android without extra features that would be a Google Pixel buyer.
As you can see it's really up to you and understanding what's important to you .
The advice I give people to learn Android buy a Google Pixel phone before you purchase a Samsung Galaxy phone . Normally this advice is for iPhone users who never used Android before. Will be surprised how stock Android is just as simple as IOS .
I like long updates, long lasting battery but i want to uptimize and control my own phone.
Travis, you do know most of the people that buy phones from $100 to $300 can purchase the iPhone 7/7 Plus or even iPhone 8/8 Plus depending on where they purchase it from. Sure they are not new but beggars can't be picky. Boostmobile had a deal for the iPhone 8 Plus for $300 until they ran out of stock. And of course there is Amazon and Ebay that have deals from time to time. If anyone is looking for new iphone, they better be ready to pony up.
I live in a house divided...I'm definitely an iOS guy and my wife will never give up her Android (Samsung Galaxy). Even though almost all of the family uses iPhones she won't give up her Samsung. So be it. We both get done what we need to get done.
I dont get why she needs to "give it up" if it works for her. Why do people care so much about what phone works for who? 😂
OneUI all the way! No other android OEM even comes close to the things you can do to your Samsung phone! Customizability, automation, ease of use and control over every aspect are what's most important to me and this is exactly what Samsung provides. I can never see myself switching to any other platform.
That's why I switched from Android to ios got tired of not getting updated on time if updated at all If your phone if not a flagship or a Pixel
I went from an iphone 10 to a samsung s10 and now am going back to iphone, i just pre-order the 12 pro, i really like the samsung s10 but in my opinion the iphone feels more polished less glitchy?
The answer is easy to answer. If you are in USA where Samsung provides Qualcomm's SoC, there is no need to buy the iPhone. If outside of the USA, then its debatable.
The new iOS 14 is amazing getting a whole new home screen features and other cool things to make it more updated
Best solution that I have also personally chosen is getting both the new iPhone and the new Samsung have both and also bought a Huawei mate 30 pro and spent 5000$ on phones I’m so happy this is phone addiction I admit
My Pixel 2 Xl released in 2017 is getting android 11. Pixel 3 is getting 11 and 12. If you want android updates , google is the way to go. If you want best value , LG makes the best phones pound for pound. I got a lg g8 for 200 amazon renewed for ATT. Snapdragon 855 for $200 is unheard of
Great video. My second hand Samsung A31 was only $280 in N.Z dollars. I hope it lasts 5 years or more. I dont really like the feel of Apple phones or the price. My neighbour friend is a polarised fan boy an you are the voice of reason. Thank you for this video!
I’ve had the best Androids and the best iPhones, I always miss one when I have the other. I’m sticking to iPhone because I use a Mac and an iPad, but I miss the Galaxy Note series.
Its all about being on latest security updates.. yes, apple gives an edge here to its ecosystem users but relatively high price points.. my opinion is to go for android mid-tier looking purely at specs and value for buck ignoring manufacturers in the name of privacy (as Travis rightly pointed, as soon as you are online, no point in talking privacy) and get on to new generation of phones as soon as security updates stall.. we will always get to experience latest at competitive price points.. !!
Budget
100 dollars : Used iPhone SE 64gb
350 dollars: Pixel 4A 128gb
450 dollars: S10 lite 128gb
600 dollars: Used iPhone XS Max 256gb/ Used Note 10 plus 256gb
850 dollars: iPhone 11 256gb
1250 dollars: 11 pro Max 256gb
Don't complicate your life so much.
Dude you crack me up, big smiles! ;)
I have both. No favorites here. But my 11 pro max is cool too. That's my second phone. My main one is still champ for me... The one plus 7 pro.
Yes!!!!!!!!! The one thing that sucks about me useing Samsung. Is ghe resale value goes down faster than a Bmw or Mercedes. Well not that fast. But you get the point. But the positive about that is to the buyer. You can find a fairly new galaxy device at a huge discount 2 to 3 months after it comes out.
Maaannnnnnnn TRAVIS!! The last comment about going to war about who's better and everyone giving everyone crap about the phone or operating system they use is the best ending ever!! I've always wondered why so many people care about what phone the other has. The way I see it, as long as I can call you and you me and there being ways we can video chat it's golden! Let's stop the hate like you said! #THATSDUMB
I had a Samsung A15 and it did not work in certain places. Then I switched back to iPhone and got a iPhone XR and it worked where the Samsung phone didn’t.
Travis you mentioned how iPhones hold their value in terms of money. But this is where I feel that Samsung gets the beastly value. A year later you can get a premium flagship in practically mint condition for half the price. 3 updates don't spread over 3 years in Android mostly. It takes about 4 years since every manufacturer has their own twist on the OS and takes a bit longer to push out. Most users don't hold their iPhones for 5 years, so what's the point of being able to update if you never will for those particular people?
Or get a pixel or a OnePlus. Not as many updates, but pretty optimized devices.
