iPhone 15 vs Galaxy S24 Long Term Honest Review - Let's discuss which has been the better price point after owning both all year! Share your thoughts, experiences, and enjoy the video :)
My s24 has replaced my laptop. All i carry is my phone and wireless earbuds. I'm out in the sun all the time, the screen is impressive while in direct sunlight. Love the feel of the flat sides too, easier to hold watching content.
What I would hear. I dont have a computer, and are outside with airplugs a lot, in the sun. I ordered a new S24 for about $320(Norway). Cant wait to get it😊
This thing about being polished is old school now mate, all phones are pretty much polished from all the big brands... Samsung, Apple, Xiaomi and even google now. All are also easy too. Privacy, well they all take your data and nothing that uses the internet is private lets be serious...companies are getting a lawsuit against them every odd year now. Great video!
iPhones are super polished but Androids are super fun is no longer a valid statement I guess.. Androids especially Galaxies and Pixles are super polished as well along with being super fun. I personally have been using Oneplus 12 for past few nonths, it's been super snappy and smooth.
I have a 120hz 13pm and tbh I can tell the difference when I put it in low power mode and it goes back to 60hz but I dont really care anymore . once you use 60hz for like 1hour even you'll immediately get use to it and not care its such a minor difference. what I do notice though is the performance when playing games and software where support which apple is always the leading in chips and software support
I think besides the 60 vs 120hz which is a pretty big deal, LONG TERM, I’d take the iPhone. App quality is just a lot better. Can’t tell you how many top line Android phones I’ve owned and devs just slap some generic Android version of the app or don’t even support it for Android. Also wearables too, just got the Galaxy Watch 7 Ultra and had to switch back the AWU, but not because the watch was bad, the Galaxy Watch just HR sensor doesn’t detect tattooed people like the Apple Watch does (the only option is turning off wrist detection but doesn’t help the HR sensor).
I have the exact opposite experience with apps. One of the reasons I can't switch to iphone is that there's no support of my favorite app readera on ios. + you can can't download any app from other sources apart from app store. I can't think of any app that is supported of ios and not supported on Android, can you give me an example?
@@cheesewhizxd7819 honestly as someone with a security clearance and background in cybersecurity I rather not download any apps from a non-reputable source that doesn’t receive any type of automatic app update, usually the biggest conveyors of vulnerabilities. Just me tho, but I digress. But yeah, I’ll just go with my apps that I use, such as the Jeep app, Bodyfit and Vivint app, both look horrible and unoptimized on my Android phones. I had an S23 Ultra now rocking a OnePlus Open, the apps look the same as the cheap $200 Motorola Stylus that I also have, while my iPhone looks nice and polished with dedicated haptic feedbacks. Apps that are for major airline like Delta or AA or movies theater apps, don’t allow for users to add tickets to their wallet, it’s basically “hey take screenshot if you have Android”. Also no ForeFlight app support, as someone who just got into the aviation field, Android does not have ForeFlight which is great to use on Apple Watches as well.
@@cheesewhizxd7819never wanted an app i could not find on my iphone that i use on android. And the reason why apps are better optimized and works better is because apple controls it. Can’t get it both ways.
It's less about them not being supported and more about them just being better on iOS. Social media apps have better compression, apps like discord sound much better, even google apps have features that are not available on Android.Also, video quality on FaceTime calls is far superior to something like Whatsapp. I switch between iPhone and Android phones pretty regularly, I have never bought two consecutive iPhones or Android phones. Each has it's merits, but iOS apps definitely feel more refined.
@@gianfrancomartinelli9111 I don’t think so. For me Android apps have more features and ios apps are always the trimmed version . iOS apps can’t run background process, that makes even transferring big data is a nightmare there.
If I had to choose, I'll pick The iPhone 15. Yeah it comes with a 60hz display and it doesn't have the telephoto lens but the S24 sadly comes with the Exynos chip in my region which is alone a deal breaker. Also iPhones are known to have better apps optimization and they are consistant when it comes to the camera which makes up for the shortcomings of the iPhone 15 at least for me. I'm not saying that they shouldn't add a telephoto lens or a 120hz panel, of course they should especially the 120hz (because having a 60hz display in a phone that costs that much is a crime). what I'm saying is that the advantage of the iPhone 15 over the S24 is more important to me.
The advantages you said are not valid. Exynos 2400 is a still better than a16. You can look at the benchmarks and stability test. Even if Samsung has a better camera hardware, you are saying iPhone has better camera? Better app optimisation? That is not true. Unlike old times, both android and ios has the same apps. Actually in android, apps can run and transfer data in background. That can’t be done on ios. Cloud apps except iCloud are an unstable mess in ios. You can’t move large number of photos to the photos app. It will crash. You can’t see the file progress bar. You can’t minimise and use another app when you are on a teams call, you can’t minimise the app when you are receiving a big file, you can’t minimise the game when your assets are downloading. All these can be done on android and you are saying ios has better app optimisation?
@@sholmes_ttyy I am talking about myself, all the things you mentioned are minor and I don't care about them. I am currently a Samsung user and I have the Exynos version and it's AWFUL. If you wand longevity u should stay away from it and I am talking from an experience not just numbers on the sheets. U mentioned that both Android and IOS has the same apps but that's not always true. There are certain app features that are available on the IOS version but not on the Android version. Also there are many IOS apps that are not available on Android and there aren't any alternatives with the same quality and features.
@bishwamitranaorem8606 That is not a bug. The app is on pop-up (minimised style), so it would cover less screen. It would return back to pop-up if you click it
@nickackermanchannel ohhh ok , off topic but can u keep s24 series for the next 7 years so we see how Samsungs longevity goes? Please do that for Samsung phones u only do it with iPhones , u still testing iPhone 11 from 2019 but not an s23 from last year... come on man u got nearly a million subs , do better.
@@wheelyflac it's unbelievable how content creators are only keeping iPhones. Nowadays ppl are keeping their phones for years, I would hope Nick changes with the times!?
@katinasoutherland7693 I hope.. I've told him soo many times , and he says: android phoned don't get os support. well s21 series will get one ui 7 so.. bruh..
I would say buy the iphone if you need the better camera and buy the samsung if you need a more customizable UI with more functions. Also the samsung feels smoother due to 120 hz. Im a s24 exynos owner btw
Only because they have like few variants in their series throughout their carrier as Apple. If they had low range, mid range, high end and flagship then they would literally be same as value as Samsungs. It's literally common sense
in Estonia both phones have the exact same price and both phones always cost the same though sometimes apple Estonia gives out some things that make the phone cheaper
@@stevanb.2590 not everyone takes pictures like you do. I've never encountered those issues because the only moving things I would take a picture of is a plane or wildlife, which my s22 does just fine. It depends on your use case. Don't get irritated because he didn't have an issue you had, I guarantee there are issues with the iphone that only some people have that didn't make it in the video.
@@loganhyler9588 I really don't know any person who ocasionally doesn't take a picture of their friends, kids, pets... And I'm not irritated, why should I be.
The experience, especially apps, it just works on an iPhone. Everything is so fluid on the Apple. This is something that no android device has been able to replicate
Awesome video as always, Nick!! I have one year with my current smartphone, and I am looking to purchase another one, but I am on the fence of choosing another Samsung Ga laxy phone or going back to a Pixel phone. Which do you prefer? Keep up the great work, I always enjoy your informative videos
I love my iPhone 15 (blue). I know, 120 Hz versus 60 Hz, etc. etc. I still prefer the fluidity (animations flow like butter) of iOS and the seamless way stuff in the ecosystem are integrated so well. *Yes* the 60 Hz can be choppy at times. I expect that so I'm not disappointed. And I could care less about not getting Apple Intelligence on the 15. In a few months I will simply do a 1-for-1 trade-in for the iPhone 16 via the Boost Infinite program I'm enrolled in. No fuss, no having to pre-order the new iPhone anymore. Just hand them the 15 and get the new 16.
Thank you for your helpful videos, but I disagree about wishing to change the phone design every time. I believe Samsung got it right now, like Apple was doing well for years. This way, the brand keep it's professional look and feel, look at the other "copy cat" Chinese companies, and how they go far in terms of copying the Apple designs, especially the cameras' look.
Whenever we need to take detailed pictures in the laboratory, we always call the Samsung guy (using S22). Pictures are just perfect especially the macros or whenever we need to take pictures of the inside of the instrument. Pictures taken with iphone 15 pro max just doesn't get it. I ordered S24 for this reason but could've waited for Pixel 9 but reviews showed that the camera set-up on the P9 is very unstable.
The Samsung just seems a shade slimmer than the I phone . I just prefer the chunkier feel to the I phone . Samsung just gets a bit glitchy sometimes . Dunno .,Are Samsungs for known for that than I phones ? Dunno just asking because I’ve had I phone 12 now I phone 13 and I get no issues or any buggy feels what so ever
i use S20 FE and it still feels smoother than my mom's iPhone 14 for some reason. Even apps open faster and phone feels snappy on S20 FE than iphone 14.(excluding animations if anyone cares abt them)
15:25 ram doesn’t work the same on android as on iOS. 8GB for a Samsung flagship isn’t enough for long term, not even mention 7 years 😂. A tech channel posted a video between the 15 pro max and the s24 ultra using virtual ram so 20GB in total and even like that iPhone won
Thank you for calling out Apple on their BS. 60 HZ, USBC 2.0, no aod, and last year's chip. All for $829, not the $799 at Apple falsely advertises. And all the brand loyalists defend Apple saying nobody cares about that or we don't need that. Don't they understand that Apple saves money at their expense? Are those same loyalists who bought the iPhone 15 going to defend Apple now? It was Apple's decision to use 6 GB of RAM in last year's chip. Also, the iPhone 16 is also rumored to get 60 HZ and no aod. Maybe they would stop doing it if people would stop buying it? Or at minimum write to Apple and voice your complaints.
People are happy with theese phones and its why they are the most sold phones in the world. Chips are more then powerful enough. If they had bad experience they would not buy one again. Numbers aint evereything
@@vikinnorway6725 thank u for proving exactly my point. Loyally defend n at the same time the iPhone 15, less than a year old is obsolete re Apple intelligence. All bc Apple decided to save a dime at ur expense. Numbers aren't everything yet u quote sales quotas. "Ignorance is in the masses."
@@hhhmmmmmmmm if you are happy with a product you will buy one again. Thats how it works. Not defending anyone. Just saying thats why people buy them. I have never owned a non pro phone. I use 13 pro and s21u. And most people will do fine without AI, maybee when it gets more and better that would be something but for now its not a must have. The reason why there will be no AI on older models is because of ram and chipsets. Samsung will start to take fee for using ai from end of next year. Apple AI will be buildt in and free of use atleast to 2028
@@vikinnorway6725 I hear u. Just sour re Apple n their pricing. I've been on iPhone since 2011, also have 6a n S24. Actually, if I'm being honest, I would like aod on iPhone but don't want a pro. I'm one of the few who don't care about cameras. Give me a flagship chip n aod for a decent price. Peace.
@@martin-vi1xn Brother, who said that Tos Iran doesn't work, it works, but it doesn't register, and I bought the iPhone 15 and before that I worked with Samsung phones and I told my opinion.
