It’s surprising your using a base Samsung S23 model because most tech reviewers uses + or ultra model

It's always refreshing to come across another S23 owner especially when comparing the S23 with an Iphone. The base S23 is so under appreciated by the phone community. Thanks for your in-depth review!

Been using samsung phones since elementary school, I was considering trying out iphone for the first time this year for a change, but I chnanged my mind when I watched this video.

Android keyboard is game changing for me, especially the clipboard and number row at the top. Multitasking is so great.

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.

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.

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!

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!

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

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.

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.

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! 🎉

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!

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

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.

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

Thanks for the insights / content. Some of them might consider it for the upcoming s24

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.

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

Interesting how my Samsung phone pulsated when you said "Hey Google". Bro is always ready

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.

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!

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!

This is the kind of set up I have. 3 apples and one samsung. Thanks!

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.

First time seeing your vids, I liked them, thumbs up for you!

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 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

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.

What password manager do you use? Samsung passwod, or Google? And how do you synchronize your password with your mac?

Thank you for sharing this experience

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

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.

Great video! I was especially impressed with the separation between the work and personal life in the operating system.

Even iphone has a samsung display😊

For the air drop alternative, youtuber tausif hussein has used one with his s23 ultra and liked it very much

How do you get a work profile on Samsung?

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!

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

What software do you use to connect the samsung phone to the mac book? I had issues with diect connect :( Thank you

what do you think about galaxy tab? with quick sharing function and dex?

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.

For wireless transfer use transfer anywhere or nearby share

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 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.

where you can separate personal and work profile? i just use secure folder for the work stufs.i have the regular s23

Very informative 👏

Well presented!

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 😅).

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.

Hello Jeffery. Why do my iCloud emails return after deleting them on my Android phone? It just started happening. Any idea?

Thanks for sharing. I live the “mixed” life as well. I’ve learned workarounds for iMessage, AirMessage, etc.

I enjoyed your thoughts. Thx

How transfer photos from Samsung phone to the apple iCloud ?

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

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.

It’s good that you enjoy Samsung, and have found the perfect phone for you.

How to use that work space?

I use a Mac and a S23. It's just hard to exchange archives between the computer and the cell.

I do appreciate the work space that android provides

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.

Thank u so much. I am thinking that I want Ipad to edit my clips from Samsung phone.

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.

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 💯👏

Great video 😊

I've used both but could never turn my iphone into a makeshift game console and actual pc with Samsung Dex

2:01 Could someone guide me on accessing the director's view on a Samsung phone? Is this feature pre-installed, and is it exclusive to the S23? I remember the old Samsung Galaxy S7 having a similar feature. I own a Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus and A34, but I can't find the director's view in the camera app. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

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

Great video. Like you, I too use both eco systems: Apple for computing and Samsung for mobile.

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).

What do you use to manage android on your Mac? This has always been an issue.

Great video. I’m in the same boat but can’t make the jump because the Apple calendar won’t sync with the Samsung or Google calendar and I can’t get my apple email on the Samsung phone

Also a Sammy user since 2020, with an ipad and a Mac😊

goood video, and explanation

You should try the ultra version it is the best phone until now even thou against iphone 15 and z fold 5 .... Even i dump my laptop and working only use my s23 ultra with the samsung dex features

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

I am doing the same thing. Samsung S24 phone and all others are Apple devices. I think the apple watch is not working so well. I lost airdrop, iMessage (sending messages on my MacBook), and I miss Face ID - Samsung has some face biometric but it's not working so well.

Great video. It's nice to be able to use whatever technology you like. Regardless of being Apple or Samsung or any other company.

6:40 you can use Google's nearby share to wireless share files

I too have Mac Mini, ipad and Macbook Pro for years, but struggled with the idea going iPhone because it has some limits and can be very boring as they are not really customizable compare to my pixel. I was open and considering going with an iPhone but think I will be upgrading to a Pixel 8.

Currently using Samsung Galaxy Note 9 and going strong since last 5 years. One of the most important feature for me is "Call Recording".

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!!!

Great video. I published an article in my student newspaper on the same topic last year of how Android is far superior to iphone.

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?

Might want to change that secure folder code after this video 🙂

Same. I use Xperia 1 V, macbook, ipad and ipod. I cannot stands iPhones, alwasys get bored of them after a couple of months.

Make a video on honest review of s23 over mid rangers mobiles and ya compare its performance too with an expected iPhone 🎉

Nice video!

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.

The things the post important for me is not having a clipboard on iPhones. Btw amazing videos keep it up man

7:10 You can use pair drop

Can you share how to separate in Android the personal and workplace?

I like the secure folder the most in a Samsung device

Very insightful as an iPhone user 😊

I splurgle on the most expensive iPhone (I think $1.5k) and gave it a few years but couldn't wait to get rid of it. IDC if family or friends talks about blurry videos(I believe its iPhone thing but don't want to dwelve into it). If you like to thinker, iPhone is very limiting and although I loved thinkering to see how far I could push the iPhone it saddened me why I couldn't do this and that which I could easily do with android...

I love samsung phones lots of customization and I love the one ui

Great video

Good job 👍

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.

I’m currently a lifelong iphone user looking to make the switch to Samsung… honestly speaking, what will I miss from iphones? And will I receive Whatsapp messages/media from iphone users in a different way and will iphone users see my whatsapps/media in a different way too?
