Thinking about switching from Apple? Here's my experience

I had the iPhone 15 Pro and finally decided to switch to Samsung. I’ve heard so many positive things about Samsung, and I got everything at a great discount. One thing I’m curious about is if there are any good videos out there to help me learn all the features of my new devices? I’m getting used to the S24 Ultra but might have gone a bit overboard with the watch since I’ve only had an Apple Watch SE before. Any tips would be really helpful.

How are the Buds 3? I need a new pair since my ANC on the 2 Pro seems broken.

I’m really enjoying them. The sound quality and ANC are really good, and they last a long time on a charge.

I agree. I got them, and I love how well they work with both my Galaxy Tab and S23. The sound is great, and the battery lasts for a few hours.

I lost my Buds Pros and found a good deal on another pair on eBay. I don’t like the design of the 3s. Why not just get another pair of 2s?

I’m thinking about the same switch but would probably go with Pixel.

I almost chose the Pixel, but I’m happy with my decision.

I actually have both. The Galaxy Watch Ultra is way nicer and more advanced than the Pixel Watch 2. I have a Pixel 8 Pro too, and it’s a fine phone, but the S24 Ultra is definitely better in quality and features. Samsung has really nailed it. My only complaint moving from Pixel 8 Pro to S24 is that Samsung lacks some features: the Do Not Disturb doesn’t have profiles, just schedules, and the assistant phone answering is nice. I like those Pixel features.

Edit: I was wrong about the temporary Do Not Disturb, so I changed that comment.

Great choice! I switched from Apple after the iPhone 1 and have never looked back.

What do you think of the S-Pen? It seems handy, but I’m not sure about its value. Yes, I can use it as a shutter for the camera, but I have my watch for that. It’s nice for annotations though. I can use it with Infinite Painter, which is cool, but I’m not an artist.

@Onyx
Honestly, I haven’t used the S-Pen much yet, but when I do, it’s nice to have. I mainly use it for quick notes, like remembering stuff I need for work.

How do you feel about the switch? I’m thinking of doing it too!

It’s been great so far. Switching was easier than I thought, and I haven’t run into any issues yet. Even my girlfriend is super jealous and wants to get the Flip 6.

@Rey
I considered the Flip 6, but that crease would bother me so much haha.

I have the Fold 6, not the Flip, but I have to say the crease isn’t a problem. You hardly notice it when using the open screen.

@Tal
The crease is fine on the Fold since you hardly touch it… but touching it on the Flip every day when scrolling would make me want to stomp on it!

Enjoy the ease of a back gesture - it’s easy to reach from both sides and can be done with one hand.

I miss Android so much.

I don’t like the back gesture because it takes up a lot of screen space. Some apps have features where you can slide things from the side, but I can’t use those because of the back gesture.

Congrats and welcome! I love my S24 Ultra. I switch between a couple of different phones, but I always come back to it.

You’re going to love it.
