Both my wife and i recently switched from iphone to android. Not a single regret made, absolutely performs better than the iphone. Camera isnt even arguable, it just shocks me coming from an iphone for many years. We both got the s23 ultra in phantom and the light pink color. These phones just changed the way we see apple now. Personally im a new android fan now lol.

@@Juicemanee We are in our early 20s to to late 20s. Im soon turning 30, the apple products that both me and my wife have ever used its airpods (mostly) never apple care or any of the other stuff lol. We just dont see any benefit using it. For us it wasnt hard to let go of apple because of what we had for the last few years. Personally im now a huge fan of samsung because of what they offer and however much discounts and deals they have often. Its amazing, you dont really see that with apple, its just student discojnts, now with samsung that caught my attention is their huge steal deals. Dont be afraid to switch if you want to try something new. Apple is easy but android you can create your own ways of using their products.

Yeah, I'm loving this phone too! I originally had the wifi problem where it would drop my connect over a dozen times a day. It was fixed for me with the April security update and I haven't looked back since! Also, I translate media from Japanese to English as a hobby and the S-Pen is amazing for simply handwriting kanji to search in dictionaries! With handwriting recognition, the phone can easily understand the characters I write quickly and accurately, meaning I don't have to know how to pronounce/spell the word to look it up. Not a normal use case but I've been using Galaxy Note devices for years because of this! Great video as always!

On top of that, it is all over the internet that there are several problems with the new Pixel 7 pro including overheating and green screen problems that have NOT been fixed by software updates!

Great video! I have a pixel 7 pro that’s had to be replaced three times already by Google. Yes…. 3 times! I love the pixel phones, but about every three months I start getting the green screen of death, once the phone overheats, the screen starts to flash, and then I get the green flashes on the side of the screen when you turn it on or off. I’m on my third phone and this one is just started to do it. So I’m thinking of making the switch to Samsung. Thanks for the video was very informative!

Not as well. That's one of the benefits of the pixel. It's a little better with less shutter lag. I do think the issue of shutterlag is a little overblown. But there is still more sugar lag on the samsung. There are ways to improve it through the settings and I did hear a recent update is coming to fix a lot of it. But I obviously can't guarantee that and haven't tested that update out

It's so hard to tell in your situation. The Razr is really all about fun. It's about the unique utility. It's about using a small outer display, it's about a fun form factor.

I switched from s20 ultra which I've had for 3 years and the first thing that blew my mind was the sound omg it blew me a way and bassy this is my first stylus phone what about that there is only 8 gig memory instead of what I had on the s20 ultra will this make a difference
@AndroidDigest 7 ай бұрын
Oh yeah, sound and a stylus. I don't think the lower ram will make a difference at all, 8 GB is more than enough. You can still run 15 apps at the same time no issue, so I wouldn't stress. Just guessing on that number, but yeah, you will have no problems.

@rockowilson2320 10 ай бұрын
I went from the Pixel 7 Pro, to the S23 Ultra and (mostly) loving it. The battery life, and the selfie camera are the best part for me. I find that most of the photos from the primary 200mp camera are not necessarily better than the Pixel tbh. I rarely get a non-blurry photo of my dog, unlike when using the Pixel. The 3x and 10x zoom cameras are super useful, and fun to play with. The only things I miss on the Pixel is the speech to text, it’s next level compared to the version available on the Galaxy. And the “continued conversation” with the Google Assistant. That allowed for multiple questions/commands without having to say ”Hey Google” every time.
@AndroidDigest 10 ай бұрын
I 100% agree with you. The pictures from the pixel phone are subjective because the colors are a little more accurate than the Galaxy phone. The Galaxy phone takes better pictures of nature and it has more versatility with the zoom. But it's not necessarily better in every situation. With the things I take pictures with it's definitely a lot better. But it can vary. But the battery life and the performance is better than pixel and I like how the phone doesn't overheat like my pixel phones would. Maybe they wouldn't overheat but they would get a little toasty. So everyone is different as far as which phone they prefer in the end. I'd still argue this is probably the best phone, but not by much, and some people will just prefer a phone like a pixel and I wouldn't blame them

If you're mainly going to be taking pics of younger kids or pets, I honestly wouldn't recommend it over the Pixel. Otherwise it's a much better device overall.

I really just wanna spend the money and do a early upgrade in my iPhone 14 pro max is it worth the switch ? I always have had iPhones
@AndroidDigest 10 ай бұрын
That's really really hard to say. Your initial switch from an iPhone can be really tough. Everything is backed up from Apple, so it can take a bit to get all your stuff transferred over. Then you have to get everything set up under a gmail. And then you will maybe see certain things you like or dislike right of of the gate compared to iPhone, it takes getting used to. Whether Android to iPhone or iOhine to Galaxy, many people don't like the results of switching. Some people are too locked into iMessage or Facetime. It's tough. With all that being said, some people can get past all of that. Android has more customization options. Android has more freedom, more app options in the app store, new launchers you can download that completely changed how your phone operates. It can be a really fulfilling switch for the right person. But it's always hard for me to recommend who that is. If you're up for the challenge and don't mind leaving imessage and FaceTime I say go for it. With that being said, is the S23 Ultra the phone to switch to? Pretty much, yes. There may be phones that are a better "value". But the S23 Ultra is overall the best phone on Android in my opinion. You get the s-pen with it, and the 200mp camera with 100x zoom. Not something you use every day but still. It's great. So yeah I'd say this is a good phone worth switching to. The S24 Ultra probably won't drop until early next year like March. So it's a good time to buy. Hopefully this long response helps
@AndrewHahaLee 10 ай бұрын
Best phone indeed...in terms of overall, but the only thing that they can't seem to polish since the S10 series, is the camera focusing speed. In terms point and shoot, they've still haven't caught up with ZSL algorithm that Google introduced more than 5 yrs ago with the Pixel 2. I have the 23U, a Pixel 6 and some cheap Oppo phone. More often than not, the Pixel and even a cheap chinese phone can give me better confidence in taking a perfectly focused shot on the first take, than the S23U.

But to me it's worth going through that hassle. As far as other things, yes, you can use their transfer tools to get contacts at least and pictures from your phone. As long as you go through the android setup process and transfer through that, or through Samsung smart switch after. But either way it's a hassle. But once you do it once, you can stay on board.

Samsung is terrible at battery optimization they're still having instability issues you going to spend $1,200 on a phone that you have to turn the resolution down to get good battery life if that isn't the definition of a Samsung phone I don't know what it is...

@kevinwhiting8391 that V40 ThinQ had better battery life than advertised, but my S23U gets amazing battery life; besides, SOT isn't always the culprit because someone who streams YT or Spotify music 8-12hrs a day, while they're at work, won't have the same SOT as they would if they mostly text, use social media and watch videos. You base your battery life by how long your phone last you between charges. LG's are cool, but they're not making anymore phones, for a reason. If they were that great, they would still be making new phones and competing with the top doggs.

I can't lie. As a hardcore Android user that won't sniff anything Apple, I have heard the social media is slightly better optimized. I don't notice it much on X or Facebook. My pictures look amazing.

But if you are just posting photos you took outside the app, I think you won't notice any difference on social media. Hopefully this helps some.
