Outside of USA people don't really care about imessage and facetime. Thus the flexibile ecosystem and the Samsung dex edge out for me over apple's undoubtedly more seamless ecosystem.

[Propaineva]

Apple users telling Samsung users to just get a $1000 dollar phone instead of downloading a free Google Duo app is the most Apple user thing I've seen yet

[raghavkhandelwal]

The start of my Samsung ecosystem started from my refrigerator

[Catalanskrr]

Here in Germany seemingly no one cares about imessage lol. Most people use WhatsApp, no matter which phone they use.

Fun fact: Here in Inida, it's the opposite thing. Samsung Wallet has the ability to add AADHAAR, Driver's Licence, PAN Cards, vehicle ownership certificat and covid vaccination certificate

Apple Pay/Wallet, on the other hand, just doesn't exist in India anymore. Meanwhile, Samsung not only supports indian cads but it also supports UPI, which is a contactless payment standard in India

One big advantage of the Samsung ecosystem over Apple's is charging. Simply put, all the devices charge using the same cord. Apple can't say that yet. In addition, Samsung pushes that advantage even farther by being able to charge the Watch and Buds using Wireless Power Share on the back of many Galaxy phones.

[BillyLeondike]

As someone who has used Samsung his whole life, and is part of the whole ecosystem (watch, phone, buds, laptop). Nothing hit harder than the part where he mentioned getting your Apple friends to download Google Duo 😂

Honestly, from a university student (engineer), i have ip14pm as my phone, samsung tab s7+, dell laptop, and galaxy buds for earbuds, no one can justify to me that having a single company ecosystem will be more productive than a person who buys tech stuff depending on their price to use ratio, my tablet is my core device and it is working seemingly with my phone/ laptop/ buds and so does my iphone with the rest, nowadays if you just use google drive to back everything on it, itll work for all devices across all companies. That millisecond of time saving isn't going to justify buying a 1300 dollar ipad from apple vs. the 800 dollar samsung tablet, when in reality the tablet is much better than the ipad. So no id go with samsung for the tablet. The same thing goes for the laptop, mac for triple the price or a dell that can do just the same or a better job for half the price??

I quite enjoy my ecosystem of Galxy devices. It's different to the ecosystem I had with Apple but I wouldn't call it worse, just different.

[debbiepretorius]

I think it is a very clever business strategy to build an ecosystem. It creates more loyalty from customers and makes it more difficult to leave the brand if the person have a lot of devices in the ecosystem.

Apple iMessage and FaceTime means nothing outside USA.

[alicethegrinsecatz]

Imagine, you live in Germany and someone is telling you that iMessages is a selling point for Apple. Market share of Android in Germany was in the last 10 years never under 64% and the most of the time around 80%. This makes iMessages almost senseless.

[gibowski]

I actually have both ecosystems (at least partially). I use macbook-ipad combo for work because of the sidecar/universal control feature and because i find macOS more user-friendly than windows. On the other hand, I am using Samsung S23 Ultra as my phone and paired it with Galaxy buds pro and Galaxy watch 5. I just think that when it comes to the device that I use more often, I prefer to have more freedom rather than restrictions (in short, I want customizations). So yeah, I've associated the two ecosystems with different environments/tasks - Apple for work/professional use and Samsung for personal use.

[planefan]

I switched out of Apple's ecosystem in 2020. The reason I left was because their products deliberately became harder to use if you tried to use anything from different brands with them. So far the best part of Samsung is that I have seen the same seamless ecosystem except it does its best to be seamless even with non-Samsung devices.

Loved the content..so neat honest and straight to the point...just subscribed

[JohnDMoni]

This is, honestly, a really great video. Keep up the good work 👍

[Bhatakti_Hawas]

All of iPhone's greatness is only applicable in USA. But for Samsung, it is global

[jamesklusener]

this is the video I've been waiting for!!! finally samsungs ecosystem in its ENTIRETY gets the recognition it desperately deserves, thank you, this is why I'm SUBSCRIBED 😩🤚

[GallantKnight]

I personally have been invested in Samsungs ecosystem (S22 Ultra, Watch 4, Buds 2 Pro, Tab S8+ and Book 2 Pro 360)...I know, it's a lot 😅...and I'm happy with it for sure, but Im a firm believer that any ecosystem works well together, just comes down to preference in OS and hardware and apps. Each has their quirks, but I think people need to learn how to organize them all together towork best for them. 😊
