Apple Fanboy Switches to S23 Ultra | 6 Months Eye-Opening Experience

6 months later, after replacing my iPhone 14 Pro with the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, I can finally say it was super worth it. It opened my eyes to so much! I'm definitely partially team android but I still love iOS and its ecosystem. However phone wise, the S23 Ultra wins.

I can keep making these proper phone reviews if you guys want. There are tons of phones I want to try now. I know the iPhone 15 Pro is out so thats one of them but there is the Pixel, the Oppo phones, One Plus, Nothing... I just wont be able to rock them for 6 months if I start reviewing so many phones but I can try to rock them for 2 months at a time!

What a lot of people miss about the whole Android experience especially with the galaxies is how in-depth the customization process really is. A lot of people do the surface level stuff and don't even realize the hundreds of semi hidden features throughout the phone

I don't understand America's obsession with imessage there's dozens of chat apps I do t get it.

FYI - The app drawer can be set to alphabetical and you can even setup folders within so you only have 1 page if you choose to (I do). Once you're in the app drawer, look for the 3 dots on the upper right hand side and choose either custom or alphabetical. In the alphabetical order, you can add folders and those are also done alphabetically.

Finally: an unbiased review! Fellow Apple fanboy here, who purchased a refurbished S21 Ultra a few years ago, to see what I was missing. I can completely relate to your experience. Sometimes the grass is refreshingly greener at the other side of the fence ;-) The customisability is just mind-blowing, I feel Apple keeps us at a very short leash, Android is years ahead of iOS.

[cheesygamez]

As someone who has used both, you come to appreciate both phones. I wish more people were so closed-minded and gave change a try. It goes both ways.

After a little more than a decade in the iOS ecosystem ive switched to the Fold 5. Very refreshing and rocking it every single day now not wishing for the 15 Pro even after watching Keynote. Multitasking is what missing in the iPhone without realizing it. Cool video as always, subscribed and keep it coming

I went from the iphone 13 pro to the reg s23, and even that phone was a night and day experience! It was so good that I complexly changed ecosystems! Complete change to samsung!

Been an android user since the S3, i have the note 10 now but was think about switching over to the the 15 pro max. The fact that a Iphone does not have a back button is i think a deal breaker for me. How does Apple not have such a convenient feature on their phone is crazy to me.

[strawberriiemilk]

Was with Apple since iPhone 4 and switched a couple months back to the s23 ultra. No regrets. I still have a MacBook and iPad but I plan to completely leave the ecosystem. I have a galaxy watch 6 and budspro 2. I love how Samsung all work together. It’s just like Apple but with much more control which I enjoy. Definitely recommend for ppl who need a smart phone with full capacity

I'm Italian, and like most Italians, I started with (cheaper) Android devices. My first smartphone was the original Samsung S and from there I grew up with its successors. I've seen Android evolve with each update, and I can confidently say that with the S23 Ultra, Samsung has delivered a complete device in every way: performance, hardware, reliability, features, and more. Two years ago I switched to iOS with the 12 Pro. I encountered many challenges and limitations, but the system worked smoothly, without any lag, something that was missing from Samsung devices. However, this year with the S23 Ultra the problems I had before are no longer there. What I indicated on the iPhone is now no longer present; It has everything and works well. Both iPhone and Galaxy have their strengths and weaknesses, which make them attractive and enviable. So, to date, I don't have a favorite device, I bang my head in the choice... damn the day I decided to change

app drawer can be set to alphabetical order or you can even get rid of it altogether to have all apps on the home screen like iOS (you can also hide specific apps you don't want to be show yet they are still discoverable via search bar)

[Bronyboiiiii]

It's awesome to finally hear someone testing out the full potential of OneUI when talking about Samsung devices. That's something so many youtubers don't do snd then complain about missing features that they just didn't discover. Awesome work man.

[Hriata_Hlondo_macubex]

Very honest and unbiased video. Showed all the Pros and Cons perfectly on both phones. Nice video.

[littledrummer]

Thank you, Andres for the unbiased and unpaid review. Most mainstream reviewers nowadays like this boss guy and mk something who used to be Android users seem like paid Apple advertisers nowadays. You are a breath of fresh air! Thank you so much.

I’ve been waiting for this video for 6 months now

[Goinwiththeflow]

Soon as you said you ditch the iPhone I was like Lol I did the same thing. My girlfriend has the 14pro and when I traded mine in I immediately felt that I was trapped in Apple's loop. The freedom of not being completely stuck in the Apple ecosystem is truly eye opening. I love my s23 ultra and can't wait for the 24 ultra with android 14

[Charliex]

Great long term review 💯 I've always used Samsung and Apple devices, but mostly Samsung. And I will suggest that you try the whole Galaxy ecosystem next year when you get the S24 Ultra... I think you will enjoy it. It's a very good and capable ecosystem. There are a lot of things that you should learn (like setting the app drawer in alphabetical order, etc.)

[andrewthach]

I switched from s22 to a 14 pro two months ago and man do I miss android. It was just so much more intuitive and the swipe gestures were miles better. And the lack of fingerprint scanner is something I couldn't get used to. I will switch back when the s24 comes out.

[kilobitti]

Apple fanboy here. To be honest, my behaviour is weird. I’m the kind of person who usually jumps at every opportunity to modify the ecosystem. Still, everytime I’ve used an Android, I’ve felt so uncomfortable that I just don’t have any urge to switch. I know I should. And after watching this video, I still don’t.
