WhatsApp is super common here in Singapore... Even both iPhone users would choose to communicate through WhatsApp instead of iMessage

iPhone is not the better choice for “most people” just Americans

I have both S24 Ultra and 15 Pro Max and right now my daily driver is S24 Ultra. I am apple fan boy and changing to android was always nightmare for me. But now with S24 Ultra I am really glad and the phone is just gorgeous. I always left my iPhone at home and right now S24 Ultra is better that than 15 Pro max for me

You earned a subscriber for the statement "I'm not most people".

I have the s24 plus but switched to Samsung after my iPhone 10 simply because I wanted to try a new u.i. and try something new because I was on iPhone since the 3. I genuinely appreciate phones and I legit mean all phones. Thanks for trying something new. New subscriber alert man! Keep it up!

Great Video...I switched to Android a couple years ago, and just recently, to Samsung. Glad I did.

The algorithm is working for you homie. This is the first video I've seen of yours, and you've earned a subscriber. Cheers!

I did the same thing when this phone came out, no regrets. Thank you for this review, it was spot on, new subbie here

"Ecosystem" isnt a thing anymore. everything works with everything unless its apple that only plays with itself. My Sony earbuds is atm dually connected to my Lenovo PC and Samsung phone, or to samsung watch and even Macbook. All my content is available on all divices through the Google or Microsoft account. Even copy and paste between Android and Windows . Nearly all bluetooth headsets/earbuds can deliver 2x or 3x of that iPhones have. If you listen to a lot of music you'll appreciate it

In my opinion, S24 Ultra is most beautiful smartphone at all.

Totally agree. I tried to use iPhone 15 Pro Max and that simplicity was a nigmare for me only when I remember that I tried to send some photos to my laptop, change some layouts or deep settings that I could on Samsung and on iPhone not and so and so on...😢 I switched back to Samsung after less that one month.

You made the right choice in going with the S24 Ultra it's such an amazing phone.

Probably the best review i've seen yet, well done man!👌🏽 I only switched over from apple to samsung this year and i've been completely blown away by how much i've been missing out this whole time! 😲 And now i'm convinced Samsung literally just made the best phone in the world with this S24 Ultra! I've straight up never experienced any phone even close to being as OP and insanely good as this! 🤯

The S24U display with that low reflection screen is clutch. I'm now holding out from the Tab S9 Ultra hoping the S10 gets the new glass.

i really impressed by how well you're reviewing phones with so many perspectives perspectives-wise ❤..love you man thanks a lot ..this video really helps me considering from buying iphone to shoot video and go for samsung s24 later since I've been using s23 ultra for now

The s23u was a great phone! We ALL gave it so many props! I thought I would hang on to it for a few years and wait for the s25u....YEAH RIGHT! The S24u comes out and just UPGRADES in EVERY area possible and is the true BEAST of 2024! The Snapdragon gen 3 is insane and the screen hands down is the GREATEST display ever put on a phone...the 5x optical is the best sensor Samsung has ever made...just a terrific phone and puts a smile on my face everyday

So cool! I have watched so many videos but I think this video covered all the doubts I have about switching to s24 ultra. I guess your review will help me finally decide.

Very well review. Long time Android user here and I have been wanting to give the iPhone a true test but every time I try reviews tell me that Samsung camera are better. I was going to jump on the 24 ultra from my 22 ultra but I'm really waiting on the fold6.

Great video! I'm happy to see someone give the Android ecosystem an honest look. The obvious Android equivalent to FaceTime is Google Meet. Much like many of the other Google suite apps, this is also a available on iOS. I'm also a fan of Hyundai and I appreciate the vehicle being in the video.

I also recently switched to S24 Ultra from 12 pro max after being in apple echo system from Iphone 3Gs. Main reason was there was no appreciabe change in functions with each change of the model, though pricey. I appreciate your reasons . I like S24 for different reasons but the only thing I still couldn't find a good alternative is to apple notes. The easy aim and scan document function is the most i loved. I am experimenting it with google drive, keep and one note. I couldn't make myself to like to samsung notes yet.

I was a loyal iPhone user since the first one. Once they went to esim only here in the US I decided to jump ship. I did have the 15 pro max for about a month but I did end up selling it. I like most techies enjoy trying out different device and not being able to just pop my sim in was a real downside. Having to reach out to my carrier to swap around the esim wasn't fun. I kept a 13 pro max for a while but eventually realized that I could live without iOS. My husband prefers WhatsApp so iMessage was no longer a worry. I was using Google photos before the switch so again I felt safe to just move completely. I toggle between the S24 Ultra and the OnePlus 12 both of which I preordered and I do love both. The S24 is probably superior, but the battery and charging speeds of the OnePlus can't be ignored. Both devices are fantastic, the cameras are superb. I wasn't sure if I'd get used to the flat panel after having the S23 Ultra but the anti reflective screen was a more than fair trade off...it's awesome

Dont forget about a vlog video mode on the 24 ultra that lets you record on both the front and back cameras.

Such a thorough review, amazing work done Valis, you have earned a subscriber :)

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="249">4:09</a> I’ve had the phone for a few months and I didn’t really appreciate the screen until I was driving and the sunlight hit it. It is way better than people think it is and this demo was great at getting people to see the difference. I simply can’t/won’t put on a screen protector. You lose too much by doing that.

Happy S23U owner here! I am glad that you're enjoying your S24U.

The deciding factor for me was notifications. I've been an Android user since the beginning, but I started to noticed that notifications were being delayed or missed. I even set all of my apps to unrestricted battery usage. I placed my Pixel 8 Pro next to my newly purchased iPhone 15 Pro Max. I noticed my notifications came through normally on the iPhone but the Pixel was delayed. I then noticed X/Twitter notifications were sometimes completely missed on my Pixel. After researching I learned about the Android doze feature. This causes the notification delay. Hopefully they'll find another way to optimize because I really do prefer Android.

This is a really cool review. Very thoughtful and super considerate of people's presences or need to hear qualifiers. I am curious to know more about being a reviewer and having the iPhone hound you for a Sim card, that's a pretty unique experience and I think it would be cool to hear your thoughts on how that drives your behavior.

How is the GSM coverage in S24 Ultra, is it good? I heard that the titanium housing causes problems when we are in a place with a weak signal, do you confirm this or not ?

Now that I got a taste of the zfold 5 I can't use another phone due to the screen size. Opening the zfold 5 and consuming media is great. I tried the s24 ultra but I returned it due to the size of the screen.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="543">9:03</a> - If you pinch to zoom to approximately 9,9x on the S24 Ultra, it will produce vastly superior photos than the default 10x zoom. ;)

Nice video. I too own a iPhone 15 pro max and put it in the drawer. The key with the Samsung 24 Ultra is learning how to use most of the features to really appreciate the phone. The flat screen on the Ultra did it for me.

I switch to z fold ned of last year and enjoy it alot too. I want to switch from apple macbook to a non apple product. What notebook or PC do you use for adobe to do photo and video editing ?

Two things I loved about s24 ultra, the screen and the portrait photo

Traded my iPhone 14 pro max for the 24 ultra & really happy with my decision

Can't freaking believe I watched a 15 minutes long video of a YTber I've never heard of. But holy smoke, your presentation is extremely natural as if a friend is talking to me of his findings! Man, absolutely love it. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts.

My question often has been how the iCloud storage files appear on the S24 ultra. Also do password 🔑 chains transfer?

Awesome video. Loved what you spoke about. Loved that you highlighted the fact that Samsung has a bigger eco system. I feel like no one talks about it. Thank you 🙏🏾

Welcome to the 'dark side'! What a great review. I also own a S24U and it's great in every way. I appreciate the possibility of having YT and Spotify without ads (for free) and also a modded IG & Tiktok client without annoying ads and some valuable extra features. It makes my iPhone friends jealous every time haha

I.bought the S24 last week.and love it, I.have.always been android until I switched back to Android. Just a question, where did you get that beautiful wallpaper on the S24 ultra

Where did you get your wallpaper

In the Netherlands we mostly use Whatsapp so no green of blue bubble nonsense. Never used iMessage always WA on my iPhone or Android. I did switch to the Galaxy S23 Ultra from mu 13Pro Max and it is wonderful.

What's the wallpaper in the opening seconds of the video?

I have a question. If I want to buy one of these two phones for content creation, is the low quality of uploading images in social media apps on the S24 will be a problem or is it fine ? (As a phone the S24 ofc is the best except this point) great video btw 🙌🏼

I have both at the moment but like the S24U more but the 15 Pro has also some advantages so choosing is hard. S24U has great display, better keyboard in my opinion especially with multiple languages , better in doing everyday tasks because of the many features. On the other hand I like the iPhone camera for video and smoother animations and UI in general

I was iphone 13 promax user here but i switched to s24 ultra. So far im loving it. 😊

Nice, I'm a lifetime Android user and recently switched to the 15 pro max to experience the Apple ecosystem. I'll switch back to Samsung again in a few years.

I love my S24 ultra, and I just traded in my Galaxy watch 4 classic for the Galaxy watch 6 classic, the only thing I don't like is having to hack the blood pressure monitor onto the watch since samsung disables it in the USA, because the fda refuses to approve non cuff blood pressure monitoring. I wish they would just approve it, we know it's not as accurate as a cuffed blood pressure machine aka a sphygmomanometer, but it's good enough to see if your BP is running high or low. Like the FDA approved the ECG, the pulse oximeter, body composition measurement, stress measurement, sleep monitor, and the pulse rate sensor, but for some reason they draw the line at the BP monitor. After I calibrated the BP monitor I checked vs my cuffed BP machine and in both the systolic and diastolic it was off by one point. Sorry for the rant. I do hope you continue to enjoy the S24 ultra I know I will. PS since the Note 9 I cannot go to a phone without an S Pen.

I have been torn... do I use a screen protector or not. With the screen protector, it removed the benefit of the reflection reduction.

You can shoot in LOG on the S24 Ultra and basically any phone using FilmicPro and ProShot. I have made comparisons, and the results from ProShot are miles better than the native camera. Shoot in LOG with an ND filter while setting NR to HQ and the bitrate to HQ+, and this thing basically becomes a DSLR.

I really love Samsung too. When I am out wherever, people always ask me to send them the images I take using the S24U. They're not satisfied with the photos taken with their iPhones.

In Australia, most people use (Facebook) Messenger, followed by WhatsApp, followed by SMS. We're more even with about 50/50 use of iPhone or Android (mostly Samsung, with some Pixel users).

where do you get these amazing wallpapers??

I love your video's because they are so down to earth

Not going to lie I'd love to have Sony cameras on Samsung, but I feel that Samsung has done a great job with upgrading their in-house equipment over the years.

This video was in my recommended, and I watched it all the way through, and then was like "huh this is quality content, he must have over 5M subs no?" Then I looked in shock. Bro, you'll be growing faster than you can imagine, just keep it up! You've got a new subscriber!!!

even havent tried the sony xperia pro i2 camera yet,

So the anti reflective gorilla glass is useless if you are going to put a screen protector?

What is that galaxy watch face please?it's top drawer 👌🏼

Can you provide me the link to the wallpaper that you're using on s24 ultra?

Any idea how to reduce the blur? I have the s24 ultra too, and have pet spiders and other insects and arachnids. But the blur kicks in and blurs the background a lot when I do not want this to happen.

Apple is painfully boring I feel trapped in this ecosystem

He used IPhone his whole life , now he realize "he is not most people , he likes having a choice" ..!!!!!!😂

Awesome video man. Jumping ship from iPhone to Samsung has been one of the hardest adult decisions I've had to make. Love the s24 ultra. But I think iPhone 16 has some big things coming.. Looking forward to your video to see if you stay with Samsung when it comes out.

One of the strongest features the anti glare screen nullified by a screen protector. Is this screen protector necessary? Asking from a person living in the desert southwest where we have lots of sunlight

Wasn't there an "android user switches to iPhone" vid on here like a couple months ago? 😆

I'm from Argentina and everybody uses WhatsApp, it's a great app. In US the people have some type of fixation with iPhones but in the rest of the world people choose the best for them, it can be an android smartphone or an iPhone. Besides that, in my country iPhone owners are considered snob. I had an iPhone but now I'm with Samsung; I can go to another android brand but never again to iPhone, I got bored of it. I really like how I can customize my Samsung.

Would love to see a full review

Currently using the iphone 14 pro max but have always been sooo in love with the samsung and androids but the biggest thing for me is the front facing camera and how it doesnt look at clear as on the iphone like when taking selfies on snapchat or instagram. Maybe a few years down the line ill make the switch. I switched to the pixel 7 pro but didnt last long just because of the social media capabilities but damn i want this phone!!

I moved to samsung s24 ultra and way prefer it to iPhone. I look at iPhone as an appliance and the ultra as a computer. I had a larkbox that I sent back and use dex in it's place. I also use a samsung s8 plus that replaced my apple tablet and love that too. Samsung android eco system is far better for the technically oriented.

You have earned my subscription. Finally someone talking about how much better the ecosystem is on Samsung. Always when I'm watching a Samsung s24u video some apple fan boys in the comments: the Apple ecosystem is the best. That was true maybe ten fifteen years ago. Samsung and android has far surpassed Apple in ecosystem now.

What camera lens protector are you using?

I just got my S24U a week ago. Such an amazing phone!

The phones also have dex. Just connect them to a monitor and done. Every galaxy S since S8 basically comes with a desktop pc for office stuff and light to medium gaming.

I recall you switching to Apple from Android not too long ago.

Have you tried the one plus 12 yet?

What Icon pack do you have at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="277">4:37</a> ‽

My iPhone 15 Pro max absolutely sucks in the direct sunlight

For some reason Apple phones 📱 compared to Samsung phones have terrible and I mean terrible brightness outside. I was just on a vacation in Cabo San Lucas trying to work on my iPhone 15 Pro Max and I couldn't even see my screen. There was a man sitting next to me on a Samsung S 24 Ultra working and doing business on his phone he was laughing and my dumb phone 📱 and the fact that I paid so much money for it and I can't even use it in direct sunlight. Apple we are not vampires 🧛‍♀️ and have to work in all condition please fix this it is embarrassing to pay so much money for a premium phone and have it do this. I can see why some people choose Samsung because they have so many features. I have all the Apple products but I am wondering 💭 why I am aligned with such a lazy company. It is such an easy fix. I am so confused. Also my phone 📱 got too hot in the Sun ☀️ the. Just stop working it was like I didn't even have a phone 📱 because it said it was too hot. Meanwhile the gentleman next me was productive while I just was left sitting there waiting for my phone to cool down. I lost an important phone call and was left embarrassed by my technology. I feel like Apple doesn't listen to their customers. I am seriously bummed. When I by an expensive phone I want it to work. Fix this Apple. Also no multitasking this is insane so many phone are so far ahead of us. Also my call quality is often complained about by the people on the other line. Sometime I wonder if Apple got so big they stopped being precise with their products. @samsung @apple

Can you use the fingerprint sensor on the G24 to substitute password login like you can with Face ID?

Please find a better title next time

iphones arent simple i hate when ppl say that. they dont even have a simple navigation system....

What icon pack are you using at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="696">11:36</a> in vid??

Do you facing any display issues in your s24 ultra lik a shady green or grainy display, when you lower the display brightness with grey or black background.

The reason why iPhone is better for most people is due to the simplicity of it's nature...and "most iPhone users are pretty simple in nature".

smells ads. samsung, give this man a paycheck

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="100">1:40</a> hi can you say what specific monitor model it is? THx

I've got a pixel 8 pro and as much as I'd like to switch to the s24u with the extra customisability and bigger ecosystem I can't seem to escape the pixel camera and UI. Sure it's probably the most limited android UI but I like it. I've also been using Google ever since the pixel 3xl then switched to the 4a and now this.

I would deny that Apple is the best choice for most people.

I just got new s24 ultra few days ago , had s22 plus before , now s24 ultra is far worse than it's previous models , it's fingerprint sensor is a shitty piece , I planned to swith to IPhone 15 pro max , I have both of them as of now and iphone performs better , planing on selling my s24 ultra cause this newer model is worse than it's previous models. This gentleman is obviously lying openly

what is that figure on your bookshelf at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="752">12:32</a>?

im sorta on the same boat but with the zfold5 i love my fold and ive owned every single iphone excep for the 15 line. i wont go back until apple enters the folding phone segment

great Video bro, you really spoke from the heart, I love this device also, everything just works perfectly, without any compromise. New Subscriber here..✋🙏

You can fully control samsung sound system and samsung tv via iPhone. Which I'm doing daily with smart things app. So it's not 'samsung only' thing.

How can I send videos without having to trim? I tried other apps , I would love to have any help, thank you 😊

Just got my s24 ultra yesterday, and OMG, this phone is a BEAST and is just as smooth as butter. I got the galaxy buds pro 2 for free with my s24 ultra, and they sound way better than the galaxy buds pro. Now, I'm waiting for my watch 5 pro to get in, and I'm good to go..

sometimes i dont get it like companies can give the LOG format to shoot like my 325CAD Xiaomi 11i can only shoot in 4k 30 max also doesn't have OIS but for some reason it has Pro Mode for video and also have option to LOG in Pro Video Mode. xD

I think you need to change the focal length on your face shots. It seems to be distorting your face quite a bit as you look different from your still shots. Still a great video by the way!

Switched to an S24 Ultra less than a week ago from the S10 Note. The difference is humongous. Just the battery life is insane. I was at technical college for 3-4 hours with the phone in my pocket on, and it was at 99%.

I switched to android a few times but always I find my self going back to Apple . I love the refined OS and premium build, tones of case options and a high resale value. Keeps me content with my iPhone 😎

Added/unique feature: gotta add the optional S-Pen removal/replace sound effects. Just adds another cool trick. My Tab S9+ has the Star Wars light saber sound effect while my S24 Ultra is using the James Bond sound effect. I have used the Star Trek communicator one as well.
