The Very Best Smartphone (iOS vs ONE UI vs Pixel Android) - In Depth Comparison 

Which do you think is the best UI?? Cast your votes via a comment here!

One more thing you forgot about the keyboards is that on Samsung or Pixel you can add numbers to the top while on IOS you have to constantly switch to the numbers and then back to text. That's a huge thing for me

Gotta give Samsung credit. To go from TouchWiz to One UI within 7 years is impressive

What you didn't mention in the video is on one UI there is a secure folder option, plus you have the ability to create custom folders within the app draw (the latter for me is an absolute winner)

There's a few things you didn't mention. One UI offers the most flexible theming engine on any phone. Unlike on many phones where it only reaches to curves of the panels and icons, Samsung, through a specific Samsung app is able to change the system UI like the recent apps panel and so on. Both Android devices have a similar feature to IOS's Control Center long press the icon to get into a shortcut window in that icon. The difference with the Android devices being easier to access and can also allow you to go right into the settings page of that setting. You also have the ability to customize the picture quality on Samsung devices as well as the ability to hide certain apps and lock them. Not only that, Samsung now offers 4 years of software updates which is now closer to Apple and a year more than Pixel's. Personally, I would prefer to use IOS on smaller devices like 6.0inch or smaller. And Android for bigger devices, specifically OneUI due to this being probably the most convenient UI to use. Everything is accessible to one hand and while some features on Android might take sometime to be able to reach it, you can be sure that OneUI will already have it. There will also be a pop-up that will appear on the bottom right corner when you rotate your phone from portrait to landscape which is very handy. And despite OneUI taking a bit longer with the software updates, you can already expect alot of what came to Pixel to be already in your phone and there are alot of them, like those that I mentioned. The reason why I would prefer IOS on smaller Devices is due to it being complicated. Despite IOS devices being generally more powerful than Android and despite it having more optimized versions of the same apps found on Android, I find IOS to be....inconvenient on larger screens. The fact that you have to take multiple steps to be able to access one simple settings shortcut is....annoying, especially on larger screens. Which is why I would prefer to use it on smaller screens where I can really just do things with one hand. And, a few things you missed on the security front. Android smartphones has actually had alot of these features way before they became mainstream. Like asking you if would you allow an app to Track, access files, cameras, mic, etc. It's just that, before, it wasn't really expanded. There's alot of things that Android offers in terms of security which can also be found on IOS like the general Alert Pill that shows up whenever your using an App that's using your mic, camera, and such. This also shows the app that's using it with just a tap. You can also set the android devices to always ask the user if they want the app to access certain features of the phone. And it has three options from always to, just once, and never. To add more, Android has Google assistant. On the messaging front... Yeah, I would prefer the imessages but, seeing that there are many alternatives that works for me, Android's are fine too. On android, specifically, ONE UI. You have a shortcut toggle for the quick settings menu when playing games. While I have used experienced both softwares, I haven't really delve much into IOS since, I don't own an iPhone. Though I am aware of its inconveniences and advantages. Also, for the "Android being easier to hack" folks out there. There's a bajillion android models out there, all with their own taste, baseband version and ID of android. Even if the hacker find the model of my phone, they have to look into every single ID and baseband version. That's why Hackers tend to hack IOS devices more since they're in general, easier to hack as a whole with IOS being available to only APPLE iPhones. Though on the side note, Android is more vulnerable to malware but, Knox got you covered against that. Not sure about other android smartphones though.

In the Netherlands literally no one cares about iMessage... Everyone from your grandparents to kids in schools use WhatsApp! If you don't have WhatsApp it's like you're living under a rock. Kinda funny to see how big of a deal iMessage is in the US! I'm using a regular Pixel 6 as my daily, great phone so far and love Android 12! Amazing video as always Mike! Interesting to see all of the different features of each software! Thanks and keep it up with the great content!

22:14 Samsung now offers 4 years of OS updates and 5 years of security patches which is more than Google offers

thank you!! I was looking for such a video! very detailed and informative

In Samsung you also have a better photo editing options with filters, you can erase objects in the pictures you’ve taken in Samsung’s gallery along with options to erase reflections and shadows. The object eraser works so well and I really love it.

In Samsung One UI, you can turn off Samsung Pay from showing up on homescreen. You can keep it enabled in the lockscreen and when the screen is turned off. This can be done on Samsung Pay settings, but yeah, for first time users it can be an annoyance. It annoyed me as well before figuring it out.

Team One UI FTWWW!!!!. Thumbs up👍

I went from iOS to Android. I was pleasantly suprised the improvement the OS has had in the past 2 years! For the time being, i am not going back to the iPhone. I think it's boring and nothing changes.

Thanks Mike, very informative and exactly what I was looking for. you really should be doing this comparison every year.

It's hard for me to use a phone that doesn't have One UI. So many useful features. Good lock and one hand operation are hard to give up.

Reasons why I personally prefer OneUI: • Unrivaled inventory of features • top-tier customisation • GoodLock • Dex • Bixby ROUTINES (automation for your phone and smart home appliances) • Split-screen and multitasking • OneHand Operation+ and system-wide focus on ergonomics and ease of use • Colourful, yet simplistic and clutter-free design language. Love the translucent effects and animations in OneUi 4 • Samsung's ecosystem is really good: I have an A51, TabS7+, Buds pro, galaxy watch 4, Samsung TV and some home appliances that work with the SmartThings app. The only downside is that their laptops aren't as good as the competition, but almost all the ecosystem functions will work with any Windows computer

Amazing video my guy. Really thorough with the features covered.

Excellent, well done, you've saved me hours trying to find this information.....

Samsung ecosystem is VERY robust: I have the Tab S7+, Galaxy Watch 4, Buds pro and A51 phone, SmartTags and a Samsung TV. They work together very well for synced notifications, alarms, notes, reminders; The Buds switch automatically between devices whenever you play content, there's app continuity between phone and tablet for Notes and Samsung Browser, Universal clipboard, Multi control between Tab and Galaxy book, quickshare, synced Gallery, using others devices to make calls with the sim card in another device (I make, answer and decline calls from my tablet), casting content to the TV is super easy and you can get notifications on the TV as well, native Universal Passwords using Samsung Pass, if one device connects to a WiFi network other devices will also connect automatically (e.g your Watch will connect to whatever network you have saved on your phone), etc.

great video, but you missed a few things: 1:46 You can turn off the feature that makes samsung pay open on the home screen. It's not locked in 6:42 you can change the grid size way more freely using home up on goodlock 8:00 Samsung has quickshare that can link and send things between your samsung devices (galaxybook, tablet, phone, etc). They also have the constant popup that appears when opening your earbuds 15:40 You can customize the samsung keyboard too with goodlock There are other things I could point out, but then this would get kind of long. You gave pixel and ios more credit, while completely disregarding its suite of features and advantages. Like how oneui literally has up to 5 years of support now, but gaining updates faster and faster. These updates are also more reliable and stable lately than what goes on in the pixel. This a comparison, so make it a fair one.

Excellent, very well rounded, and unbiased video. Thank you!

Great video! Always wanted to see a side-to-side comparison between the three

I enjoyed the video. As a lifelong Android user I recently started using the iPad mini and the iPhone 13 because I wanted to see what the difference in my experience would be. The number one thing that keeps me from making apple my number one device is the fact that I am so tied in to Google and their apps. The Google apps just work so much better on the Google phones than on the Apple phone. I guess that's the point Apple made their product to work with their ecosystems and that's fine. Also I use the Google Assistant for so much and I do voice dictation so much that Android just blows Apple away. The Google assistant is far superior to Siri in my opinion based upon my usage. I'll probably return my Apple products because Google does everything I need plus it gives me more features and greater customization of those features.

Mark another for One UI! I have an iPhone for work. Although it is simple, I find it to be a little too simple, somewhat basic. One UI really allows you to fully customize your device on almost every level, just the way you want it. iPhone is praised for its messaging (iMessage) and it's cameras. However, those days are long gone with the updated hardware and software. Google messages offers the same exact features as iMessage, and more. Also, One UI offers Nearby Share AND Quick Share, which is unique to Galaxy phones only, similar to quick drop. You also forgot to mention that Samsung will now roll out Android updates for 4 years and security updates for 5 years, as well as having the Google Now screen baked into the newer models. iPhone is too closed off, whereas both One UI and Android (Pixel UI) are open source, so it has a wider range of apps and features available to more devices. The Samsung ecosystem is also vast, they aren't simply limited to earpods and computational devices, as Samsung also offers home and kitchen appliances, which all connect. A TRUE ecosystem. I can run my washing machine, my Jet Bot Robo sweeper and smart TV, all from the Smart Things app on phone, laptop or tablet. There's just so many capabilities with One UI you cannot ignore!

What a great video You've made it a lot easier to make a decision on switching from or to another phone

Great video. Very balanced and does a great job of showing what people actually want to see. 👍

I've used all three. Pixel is my favorite. Call screening is awesome. You didn't mention Pixel's feature where it's always identifying songs playing. This is the biggest feature I miss when leaving Pixel. Samsung Dexis a killer feature, though. Best feature on iOS, imo, is the ability to turn on flashlight from the lock screen!

Samsung now supports phones for longer than Google with updates

I would love an updated UI comparison!😃

This is an amazing video, nicely done!

Just a little correction : since several years Samsung have pushed really hard efforts to be on time with the updates. They have also announced longer software support as well as google in order to compete more with apple, without going to 5+ years of support (a shame). Anyway, great video !

For side widgets on IOS, Samsung allows you to tap your lock-screen clock and see all your widgets from there, of course you can customize it.

This is the first video I've watched from this guy and tbh I can't believe I just watched a whole 26 min video without skipping...bro +1 subscriber for u🤝🏼

Great video. I was looking to see the interfaces of iphones. Love and respect from Bangladesh 🇧🇩

I was thinking of switching to iOS only for iMessage but I think this confirmed for me that I would lose a lot features I'm fond of

Just as an FYI, Samsung also offers universal clipboard feature. It also offers auto-Hotspot. I use both on my s22 ultra and Tab s8 Ultra.

This is the most level headed, unbiased and most complete comparison I have ever seen. Samsung provides more updates than Google actually btw. 4 Android versions and 5 security updates.

this is the best and most comprehensive comparison I've ever watched thank you

OneUI for me How come y'all aren't talking about "Secure Folder" That's a big feature I can't look pass.

Great video and btw, the pixel does allow you to have a pop-up view, you just have to enable developer settings, scroll to the bottom and there's a feature called enable freeform windows, although they are not as polished as samsung's.

Amazing Video man. Your content leaves me with no choice but to subscribe. !!

Kudos to ur efforts 😇.. u gave such a detailed analysis.

1:37 you can disable that inside Samsung Pay>Settings>Quick Acess and Default card

Hey Mike, Good job with this video. Instant subscribe. I've been looking for this kind of comparison for a long time. Owning both 13 pro max and s22 ultra, I can easly say that One UI is by far the best(for me). Another thing that bothers me is the fact that you do not have T9 on the ios dialer. Also, in the recent calls list, it is not easy to see the hour of the call. You simply have redundant information (eg. Yesterday). You can change the Samsung Free with Google Discover from homescreen edit mode. You can achieve the ios widgets screen (when you swipe left) on android as well. Again, good job, all the best!

You can turn the home screen swipe-up for Samsung Pay off, though. You can also press the text underneath the icon to open a smaller menu on One UI

Wow great in depth comparison!

some things you forgot to mention: Samsung uses quick share as well which is by them Samsung has there own ecosystem very similar to apple, and you seem to ignored it in this video or probably you were unaware you didn't mention anything about Samsungs messages and how it works on other galaxy devices or google messages with there rcs in the future, you should Acknowledge stuff like this and make sure you cover everything since it can be very misleading at times

In my experience most people that get iPhone don't even know what the phone can do. They just get it because everyone else has one. I've shown people what their phones can do more than I ever thought I'd have to and I'm team samsung😅

The thing about the cursor position in a field of text is that Apple likes adding extra steps to do tasks.

That ''hiccup'' on one ui is actually a feature you can toggle on or off. Notice when you're on the home screen a card appears on the bottom of your screen. That is your default payment card on Samsung wallet formerly Samsung pay. it's basically an easy way to access it or the app in general and it quickly becomes second nature to unlock your phone then swipe up or just swipe up a few from the center of your screen regardless of what you had open to quickly open the app or make a payment.[NB: you can also set the card to appear on your lock screen but that is not on by default]

One UI With link to windows has a very similar thing to universal clipboard Blurring and mic focus are part of one UI 4 (they are under advanced settings I think) Having the pay gesture on the home screen is really useful, if you want to go to the recents screen, you just have to swipe up from a place that doesn't have the grey box Some other things I like on one UI are: With the camera, you can swipe towards the top of the phone to switch between the front facing and rear facing camera The double click power can open any app you want, and with the camera for example, it has a second function for if the app is open; the camera will flip between front and rear facing cameras Link sharing (I know you talked about it) but it is really helpful Dynamic Theming is beautiful on android 12 and I can't wait for more apps to support it

Each OS has its own benefits. Each has strengths and each has issues.

5:30 correction: you can use a live image as a wallpaper on iPhone which animates when long pressed. (Saves battery by not always playing on the lockscreen wallpaper)

Very interesting, I learned a lot! As for the iMessage question, I am an Android user in Canada and no, I would not buy an iPhone just for iMessage. But unlike the US, we don't have Google providing unified RCS support regardless of carrier, and I am on a carrier that has no RCS support, therefore, I cannot use RCS whatsoever and am still using SMS/MMS.

I still believe that Samsung can be the best ecosystem, especially since they merged consumer electronics division and mobile division called DX "Device eXperience", I really look forward to this especially as having a family

iOS is still in 2013. Eight years of updates later it will still be last year. iOS hasn't really changed much since ios 7. Pixel UI (material you) is just too buggy One UI is the best. Now they support more os updates which is a bonus

Very good and informative video! As for Samsung pay, you can disable the home screen shortcut and allow it to only activate from the lock screen. Someone has probably already said that, but there's definitely too many comments for me to read lol.

This is a very smart video to make. I love ❤️ this idea 💡

14:37 On samsung, long touch somewhere on the homescreen outside any icon or wiget. Then swipe left. You will see the option to switch between Samsung free and Google discover. Amazing video btw.

You can turn off the quick access gesture for Samsung pay in the app settings to prevent that annoying hiccup

You helped me decide which system and ecosystem I want to be part of. Thanks

Surprising for me as well, but everything you've mentioned in this video the one handed mode (iOS), the smart select (One UI), the dedicated multimedia output (Pixel UI), seamless earpiece connectivity (iOS) as well as the the iPhone dedicated Assistive ball is available in Realme UI. Except that Samsung DeX. Which is one exceptional thing to have.

Great comparison!!! 👍🏻 btw I don't know if you know that Samsung also has universal clipboard, seamless earbud connection/auto switch and app continuity as well (for Samsung Internet and Samsung Notes for now) I hope they keep implementing this "app continuity" feature for more of their apps... Samsung's Galaxy ecosystem is awesome as long as you use everything Samsung (laptop, tablet, watch, tv, etc...)

This is good. Little correction though: you can definitely use 3rd party keyboards on iPhone. I've been using gboard on mine for years and well as gif keyboards and there are plenty of other 3rd party keyboards you can use. And you can switch through them in the exact same way you showed on Android

Aw, man. I remember my month-long wait for a phantom violet s21+. I ended up with the black ultra. But it being ultra doesn't make up for its lack of violet XD. That color combo is the best!

8:00 Samsung Flow is a app that you can install on a Samsung phone and Windows PC and this app allows to send files between your phone and windows Flawlessly.

I never liked IOS in the years I had an iPhone but since switching to a 13 pro max as my main I have realised that IOS is borderline unusable. No clipboard for pasted content, Stone Age file management , generally slow feeling UI not to mention I have been experiencing apps bugging out on a daily basis. I genuinely feel like this was made for people that only use Social media on there phones and nothing more and I am sadly not one of those. Btw I wanted to add that everything you mention that the Apple ecosystem can do is also available on Samsung. I would argue dex link on PC gives it a edge. Another mistake you made is when you said that the Pixel gets updates before Samsung does which In the last year isn’t true. It’s far closer then what you think and you would also mention that Samsung supports there phones for a longer period of time.

This is an awesome comparison. 👌🏽

Thank you for the comparison and for teaching me about split screen.

Honestly, I've been looking for a review like this for a while. Thank you so much for the brief, but indepth comparison.

The main difference, in my opinion, between iOS and One UI is the level of polish. Sometimes on my One UI 4.1 device, if I do a gesture a little too fast then the developers made the animation, the interface glitches, jumps to random parts of the UI. While on iOS, the device is smooth as butter, the animations don't glitch. I do prefer android, but if Samsung spend a couple more dollars on polishing their UI, I think a lot of people would be more willing to switch.

I like how you can hold the space bar and slide it to change the text cursor position on the iPhone. Additionally, you can change your keyboard; the only keyboard it comes with is the default, but the iPhone allows you to download an app for a keyboard. I also appreciate how fast and responsive the iPhone is, and how the older iPhones still feel great to use. I particularly like the premium materials; yes, I prefer aluminum and glass. I use my iPhone without a case or screen protector, and it's been fine when I've dropped it. It has even survived being thrown at the wall multiple times by my little brother. The first time, it was fine; the second time, the back glass cracked; the third time, the glass cracked a little more; and the fourth time, the screen cracked in the corner and messed up the whole screen. So, I've been using my old iPhone 6+, which has been fine. The battery's not the best, and it's not the fastest phone, but it's great for an 8-year-old phone today. When I get my newer iPhone XR fixed, I will start using a case. Maybe I'll stop using the case when my brother gets older. I got my iPhone XR for only $300 used, and it has been way better than any $300 - $400 Android phone. It's a lot faster, doesn't get laggy, and feels nicer in the hands. If you find a used Android phone, they normally feel slower than the new cheap ones, though they may feel better in your hand. For me, the iPhone is the best budget phone because I had a much better experience with my used iPhone XR than with the Android phones that are the same price or even more expensive.

For iphone, you can quickly bypass the wait period for face ID by swiping up to activate it, then tapping the screen again (I think anywhere, although you may have to tap on the face ID text). It will then bring you to pass code screen.

Kids being bullied for using Android?! That's a sad reflection on US society if true. I can't imagine that happening anywhere else

I had an iPhone XS, switched to Samsung Notes (primarily for the note taking ability) I do not care much for the camera hardware. If i seriously want to take a picture, i use a Sony DSLR - which is superior in every single aspect to any phone anyway. However, since this is about the software/UI ... i agree mostly with you on the characteristics of IOS vs. OneUI. (cannot comment on Google Pixel as i do not have one) OneUI is not the fastest, but in everyday use - you wont notice a difference because you are not counting milliseconds. Some apps do indeed feature more functions on IOS .. but personally, i have not missed them when i switched. Games and apps run flawlessly on both - mostly because games (especially) and apps are coded to run on the smallest common denominator - meaning, they will always run well on current flagships. I really LOVE airdrop! (or loved it, when i used IOS) - and that one is the only feature i really miss. I couldnt care less for imessage .. because in my country, the most common phones are Android phones (but Apple as a single brand is still the most dominant - in terms of Android vs. Apple however .. Android dwarfs Apple) - long story short .. i use WhatsApp, Signal and Telegram - i dont use imessage at all. (never did) Customization is poor on Apple - but you wont feel it when you start on Apple. To mimic the Apple slogan "it just works.." - yes it does .. it does not necessarily work best for YOU, but it works. So .. a customer needs to adjust to Apple, which is not too hard. On OneUI, you make the OS adjust to your needs (which needs a few minutes of work). The benefit is .. that you can make your phone look and feel fresh over a longer time than when using IOS. Personally, i like OneUI better - is what i would say .. but the truth is .. i do not use OneUI (pretty much). I customized my OS to be nothing like OneUI. I use the Niagara Launcher with Adapticons (self made icons) .. and a completely custom feature-set of stuff, while having uninstalled almost all Samsung apps i can uninstall. So for all intent and purposes .. i "prefer" OneUI only because it allows me to get rid of it. Apple does not allow me to do that. I cannot have custom launchers like Niagara, Ratio or other more minimalist designs. Things like Dex are also nice - and i love that Samsung features it. I would be lying when i said i make use of it though. If i need a desktop, i use my PC. But it is nice to know that i CAN use my phone for it.

Honestly, this is the type of review I was looking for. After being an android user from all the way back in 2012 till this very day where I'm daily driving a pixel 6 and an older Samsung Galaxy A71 which I use moslty for media consumption whilst im home so I don't kill the battery on my main Pixel phon, for a couple of weeks now, I've been leaning to the idea of getting an iPhone as my next primary daily driver. I'm sure it will be a massive adjustment for me as I've never used one before but after watching a ton of videos, especially this one and seeing how far the iOS has come, I'm willing to make the switch. One UI has come a very long way as well and I love all the features, new and old and while I love the pure android experience I'm getting on my Pixel, it's lacking a ton of features that one UI for example offers. Thank you for making and posting such an in depth video, you just gained a new sub. Now, I can confidently say that my next phone will be an iPhone 🤙

Amazing video!!!

Samsung has quick share. And samsung has a huge ecosystem that works really good 👍 samsung also has seamless earbud connection so you can connect your earbuds with different devices with out disconnecting it from the previous device

One feature similar to sharing files is quick share with Samsung to windows.

Good job bro!

I love how easy it is to use different keyboards on the Samsung phones. I like to switch up my themes and have different functions all the time.

I like pixel ui drop down menu look, plus it's widgets.

When you were talking about keyboard editing you mentioned how iOS tends to drop the curser at the end of the word. You are right that this can be annoying but the iPhone has a feature to get around this that you didn’t mention. You can press and hold the spacebar and then control the curser like a mouse for precision editing. Ever since they introduced this I rarely try to use my finger to pinpoint an edit. I’ll use the spacebar mouse.

Impressive video. Subscribed.

this was an amazing video! been going back and forth between oneplus and pixel and trying to get my significant other onto pixel from iphone. It got her thinking!!! thanks man, keep making videos!!!

Great job highlighting the differences between the OSs. I've always found Samsung to be bloated with many duplicate apps and prefer straight Android or one of the lighter UIs like Motorola or Oxygen OS. Some of Samsung's features are nice, but they require a Samsung ID with legal terms of use. One point you missed is that on Android you can use any launcher that you want, which makes customizing your home screen(s) exactly to your liking quite simple. Every manufacturer has their own take on their UI. Over the years I've used Motorola, OnePlus and Samsung and found each has their pros/cons with none of them fully meeting my needs. I've come to enjoy and appreciate Nova Launcher as it allows me to set up a phone exactly how I like it, allowing me to resize widgets and decide on the number of icon rows/columns on the page.

I have both. Iphone 13 and S22 Ultra. Both are fantastic once you get used to it. Just remember that "customisation of android" fades away quickly and the simplicity of iOS is taken for granted quickly. Both are Phones first, media centers 2nd and camears 3rd in my opinion. Apple ecosystem is simple, but expensive to maintain and the equipment lasts a long long time and very very reliable. While people on android are treated to a diff design, innovation almost every single year, It is expensive too, but you get more out of your stuff.

Great Video Bro. I was thinking switching to Apple but some thing would really get annoying to me like the settings

11:33 this bluetooth multi-point playbacks could easily be a deal-maker; it's quite powerful if one knows how to utilize it

You didn't mention that Samsung with Link to Windows has the ability to share clipboard with windows and also with other Samsung devices. Also with Link to Windows you can easy copy pictures (drag and drop) on Windows from you Samsung phone. Also can answer messages, calls from windows. And OneDrive is integrated in to Samsung galaxy app. And can sync all your pictures across devices. But nevertheless great video! 👍 🙂

In the Philippines Imessage is pretty rare like not even 10% of the population uses it. Facebook and Messenger is the main app for messaging like if you don't have one you're pretty much missing out a whole out. Buying an iPhone here is more like a luxury rather than a necessity since Android has taken over this whole country

I use iPhone 13 and I have been android user ever since before 13. I have never liked the simplicity this much ever before and damn everything just works the way I intended things to work in my android phones, simple types. I always customised my android to extent that it can look synchronised within itself which it lacked in my opinion, just too much of assembling whereas IOS is in sync always. I liked apple ecosystem too much that I being fond of gaming, changed my decision of getting gaming laptop to apple MacBook Pro and then got iPad 5th gen to compliment it recently. I love it now Yes it is a bit too simple but I love it.

I know this is an old video, but a quick note on accessing the unlock screen on the iPhone: when you swipe up to unlock and it starts looking for your face, if you just tap on the middle of the screen where it says "Face ID," it will bring up the number pad without having to wait for Face ID to time out.

With the most recent Spotify update you can now swipe to add to queue! At least on my galaxy s10e

A mistake at around 22:03. Samsung nowadays is releasing fast and apparently more stable updates than Google, offering for the majority of their phones 4 years of OS updates and 5 years security updates which is more than Google; and any other Android OEM for that matter. Also a great aesthetic feature in Android 12, which is material you, a major plus to me, wasn't mentioned.

I found this video after months of searching. It explains very well the differences between the UI’s. I currently use an iPhone and have been since they came out. Over the years I have tried to swap over to android many times without success. I think it is best put there are conditions to either UI/software. - Using Apple Pay is seem less and easy to manage. - using iMessage with your family allows you to get full resolution photos and videos (to an extent depending on length). I have tried all different kind of apps including signal. Not a big fan of meta so I’d rather not use messenger but I have tried it with the same results. On android: - customization. Something simple like rearranging your icons where you want. - transferring files to a computer is way easier. - google assistant is way better All in all if I could take an IPhone and mate it with an android it would be perfect. But unfortunately that can’t happen and would prolly be sued by both out of existence. Both companies use your personal information so it all boils down to preference. Personally I’d rather use android but I use an iPhone so I can stay connected better with my family.

I do miss when the Samsung edge screens were more pronounced. Luckily, with the s22 ultra, the edge is still just pronounced enough to be able to see your edge lighting with the screen off and faced down, and I'm glad they haven't abandoned the software functionality of the screen in the form of the edge panels *⁠\⁠0⁠/⁠*

YOU FORGOT ABOUT ONE FEATURE.THE SECURE FOLDER IN SAMSUNG IS THE BEST

Most of my circle has Android, particularly Samsung S21 and S22 Ultras. The instant message experience on Google Messages has made us just as snobby as iOS users. We really dislike when we get SMS/MMS from iOS users.

Very informative video of all 3 UI's. I would disagree that apps are better on iphones. File management, offline music use, and office apps are much more a pain to use on an iPhone than an Android

I actually use the secondary shutter button a lot it's very helpful when taking selfies
