It's been 30 days since I switched to the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra from the iPhone 15 Pro Max and things have not been what I expected! In this video I share my thoughts on a full month of real use with the S24 Ultra, and the ups and downs of switching from iPhone to this leading flagship Android from Samsung. I run through some frustrating and great things about the S24 Ultra, including the setup, camera, battery life, bugs, durability, WiFi speeds, display, and loads more!

So, if you're thinking of getting the S24 Ultra, and especially if you're thinking of switching from iPhone, stick around because you won't want to miss this!

    As someone who is not a tech reviewer and was an actual lifelong iPhone user before switching to an Android phone last year, I feel that most of the "negative" that you mentioned are habits-driven.
  • @TechnologyPeriod
    This video is proof of how easily apple user can get confused if you give them something new or different.
  • @CREEBANDZ510
    This guy complained about so many misalanoues things it's crazy. As someone who used the iPhone for 10+ years, I can easily say upgrading to the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra was the best choice I could have ever made when it comes to buying a phone. The pros drastically outweigh the cons and 99.9% of youtubers will vouch for that statement.
  • @mqproductions
    Easily the best phone I've ever had. Now with the vivid slider added and camera updates this thing is just a monster of a phone.
  • @ENCXBG1
    Every complaint he had, I also had except when trying to switch to an iPhone 15 pro. I spent several weeks with it before switching back to Android. What did I learn? Both platforms have their own problems and I don't need a new phone. 😂
  • @danielmsz
    It sounds like you don’t know HOW to use the phone, because all those “problems” doesn’t happen with most people, we find stuff and do stuff pretty easily on Android phones. Haha
  • @FatNorthernBigot
    Your ring door bell notification set my dog off. I had to open the front door, so she saw there was no one there.
  • @handleit
    I got rid of my 15 pro max for the s24 ultra and I couldn't be happier honestly. Iphone is finished. Apple treat you like a boy. Like you are renting there products and don't own it. Samsung treat you like a man. Do what you want with it. Love it.
  • @crgyk9546
    Watching iPhone/ Samsung and other tech reviews just makes me realize how slaves we all are to new technology. All the “complaints” and “comparisons” we all have that makes us extremely anxious and annoyed are awfully trivial. We keep looking for the newer, faster, better etc, when have we allowed ourselves to be disappointed about a tech’s 0.0005s refresh rate? We have allowed our attention span and patience shortened massively. Every year these tech companies roll out its latest, newest, fastest and best ever devices, and we’re still not happy.

    With circle to search. You don't need to take a picture before hand if it's something that's in your surroundings. Just going into the camera app and having that item in view of the camera. You can still circle it and search. It just needs to appear on your screen. It doesn't have to be in a picture format.
  • @jaydenandrews02
    Almost more than half of this video was negatives that were a result of either his skill issue, nitpicks that are caused by other tech failing to work well and impacting the S24 Ultra's performance and also more of habits that are heavily centered around the Apple ecosystem. There are real negatives here but most of the ones he listed were not really issues of the phone but issues of other things that ended up limiting the phone and also him not really knowing how to use it.. maybe cause of the expectation for some functions to work like they do on iOS even though it's not an iPhone. That's just what I gathered from this review. But overall.. I love how this review was less technical and more of a day in the life using the phone. It's one of the videos that showed better than anything that always buy a phone that you can best integrate into your daily habits and feel most at ease while using its OS. Looking at the reviewer's daily habits and home tech ecosystem. I'd say even if he ends up loving the S24 Ultra more than an iPhone. He should stick to an iPhone cause it'll just work better with his ecosystem when it comes to day to day use.
  • @gLOWbalx
    I got to correct you here at 17:13. There is HD-Call if you're calling another samsung user
  • @Waliocoolioflo
    Ima iPhone person and even I can admit a lot of these "issues" you're having are so minor. You're trying to do a lot of stuff while driving lol. Maybe you should start calling people. Having trouble tapping ya card which everyone has problems with, I have to triple tap all my iPhones all the time lol. Sounding robotic on a phone call I've heard this plenty of times using all my AirPods and every iPhone. Notification sounds really, come on bro 😂 Probably the most legit issue I see is the keyboard. But the rest just sound like general issues when using technology bro.
  • @smulemaster
    What I can say is it's really difficult to switch from iOS to Android because Android is so advanced comparing to iOS which makes you dumb because your benchmark ofcourse is iOS... most of the things said in this video is actually not a problem if properly used and totally not relate on how iOS works because Android has its own manner of application that you just need to learn or find out (which is really difficult if you got overly used to iOS).. Me being a Samsung user who occasionally switches and uses iOS, I actually can't find it difficult switching between OS because my standard is OneUI which is so advance that i find switching to iOS not that complicated...
  • @IamSaud_YT
    The fact that you think the Apple keyboard is superior to Samsung's shows how big an Apple fanboy you are.
  • @Goblue734
    I received the Vivid Mode update today on the S24 Ultra. I have the unlocked version with a Verizon SIM card. I must say it fixed all the issues that people complained about with the screen. In fact, in my opinion, it's a little too vibrant, but I think some people will like the slider bar that allows you to customize three levels of vibrance. It's quite nice! P.S. I'm just coming from the iPhone 15 Pro Max. I don't regret leaving iOS; it got boring.
  • @riozero96
    I have the opposite problem, When I switch from my android to IOS is really frustrating everything is so locked out, everything is too simple its feels like I'm using an old feature phone but just more powerfull
  • @dustcake2576
    Some of the frustrating things you mentioned comes from you being too used to how iphone works. For example you can download your bank statement and go to the file manager app and share directly from there with native share menu, don't even need to open it. But you are operating it like an iphone so you don't even think of the file manager. This is just one example but some other things you pointed out are valid, not all tho. Lock screen edit mode can be turned off so you can use fingerprint worry free btw
