when I tried playing for the other team recently I found a lot of iPhone
features that I loved but I ultimately decided to go back to Android enraging
87% of us teenagers in the process oh
they said of course you have problems with the iPhone it's the switching
that's the issue not the phone and if
you asked an iPhone user to switch to Android they'd have even more issues but
would they I honestly don't know I mean I feel like the feature set of both
platforms is close enough these days that the process of migrating between
them is probably more painful than daily driving your non-preferred device but
the thing is it's my job to constantly swap out my tech and to get comfortable
so what I need then is some fresh meat I'm talking people who have never daed
an Android device some of the Apple faithful if you will and guess what I
found some and I made them an offer that they couldn't refuse I offer your choice
of any Flagship Android phone I receive
your iPhone for one whole month just like what I did also don't tell them
this but there will be a little bonus offer if they make it through the whole
month what phone will they pick and will
they stick to Android after their trial marriage or will they go home with their
original partner I know who I'm going home with our sponsor oh it's dbrand
dbrand is forcing me to tell you about the zero yellowing clear case the ghost
2. it is guaranteed to never turn yellow
and they boast best-in-class scratch resistance as well pick one up at I am
very short.com
let's meet our three contestants hi I'm
Lisa I am the senior designer on the fashion team at creater warehouse and
I'm currently using the iPhone 16 Pro hi I'm Titan I work at crat warehous as a
senior mechanic Tech engineer and our shop supervisor and I'm running an
iPhone 14 pro hi my name is Andy uh I'm
the production supervisor on the shooter side so I use not not this one uh iPhone
16 Pro surprisingly these were not the only Iphone monogamist in our office but
we chose these three for two reasons one
is that all of them are using a relatively modern iPhone I mean it
wouldn't be fair for someone to come from a seven-year-old iPhone and compare
that to a modern Android would it and two we wanted some variety in the types
of people that we chose so we've got the one who lives and breathes the Apple
ecosystem the one who's kind of indifferent but just keeps buying what
they're used to which is perfectly valid and finally the one who was already kind
of interested in switching but just can't find the time what with his
dedication to finally bringing our amazing LTT cables to Life coming soon
LTT Store.com let them into the store we
laid out the following phones in our store and have hired a minimum wage
employee to read the product cards to our iPhone users the goal here was to
recreate the retail experience and allow them to ask questions about the devices
before purchasing one let's see what they pick oh and hey since dbrand is
paying us anyway I'm going to make sure that they send over some of our collab
glob circuit skins to stick onto the contestants phones how much do you know
about any Android phones at all less than zero I know a bit but not a ton I
debated switching to an Rog a while ago after after I got one at the Christmas party and then decided not to they're a
operating system similar to iOS they've been used on phones the most common
phones people think of when they think of Android are Google and Samsung so we're actually going to start there and
then we'll work into some more Niche ones but I think they each have a
feature that you're going to enjoy currently Google is on Pixel 9 of their
Flagship Pro phones this is the XL so it's actually a little bit bigger see my
hands aren't actually like they're not small hands for a woman but it really
annoys me the way I can't get past I can just a b get past the whole screen on
this one oh these are definitely large one grape I've actually had with phones
in general are heading but also iPhones is they're just getting physically large
and trying to reach at the top corner is really awkward I like it because it
looks like iPhone it looks like exactly like a iPhone got the rounded corner and
you know slightly better like hole pouch and stuff I overall like the look so
this will be your kind of Android interface this is going to be as like
stock as people would would call Android
a lot of other phones do come with some skins or some variations and animations
a lot of people like to compare this as the Baseline it's going to be different than an iPhone different what you're
used to there's going to be some things that are similar in terms of your just quick access notifications if you want
to go to your apps or whatever but you can obviously customized that's definitely one of the features why
people love Androids is they can change what they want they're not necessarily
locked down to iPhone way I mean so far out of these two I think I'd lean more
towards this really yeah the extra screen size is interesting cool do you
know what you do with it no I actually was thinking like you know maybe at
someday I can switch to Android but like you know I tried it at the store but
like what about my other you know iOS feature what iOS features are you mainly
talking about like what do you need in an iPhone well everything I have AirPlay
you know my homod and stuff um Apple wallets y that's also Apple exclusive
okay iPhone is definitely known for videos and being captured and and photos
and everything Google has has like always been known as the photo guys for
their phones they have a lot of AI tools if you're interested in that to help
clean up your photos and make it pretty M why didn't you take a look yeah like
for the camera it just like it it looks nice one thing I kind of don't like
about the current iPhone is the photo you take from iPhone is like very
processed I see okay good thing they have like raw but like still like like
the pixel a lot of time looks more natural like more camera like mm that
makes sense yeah the camera in your left here the pixel Pro is going to be a
better camera it has a little bit more megapixel a little bit other updated
settings the biggest reason uh for that is the thickness because this phone is
essentially half as thick ah right you can't put the same quality camera in it
is it enough of a deal breaker no that okay well there you go get a picture of
Andrew if you want okay it's a big screen though right you can zoom all the
way in see all the details yeah sorry God oops I was going to say I didn't
want to say anything I was looking at the fabric I was looking at the
I was looking at the resolution I'm not even realizing what I was looking at
sorry I like both of them okay I like
both of them yeah but like if I have to pick one I'll pick this one for
interesting let's move these ones to the side let's move on to Samsung so these
are probably the other most common phone people think of when they think of Android we've got our s24 which is kind
of your base model Flagship which I know sounds kind of funny so it's still top
of the line specs you're still going to get an incredible camera incredible amount of storage Great battery oh
that's important yep we have 128 gigs on this phone 256 on this phone as well as
more RAM on this one and then the fun Samsung one the Z flip 6 see that's a
nice size all right well there you go
the size is good I came from like a 13
mini and then upgrade to my like 16 Pro oh wow that's a very big difference yeah
if they have a 16 mini I'll go for a mini cuz like I want like you know
one-handed phone yield the reference sizing yes by so that's pretty similar
in terms of overall size and just general form factor I think this is even
thicker and definitely heavier the rounded Corners as well kind of give it
that iony feel right this is the ultra this is like oh no no I didn't even get
into anything this is like the flagship of Flagship Samsungs I feel like
business bro with this one though this is a chunker chunker with
very sharp Corners yes H yeah okay I
don't know why I thought that was going to be a problem although with a case first thing and pick it up I don't
like it cuz like it dicks in my palp really oh cuz the corners the corner
dicks in my palp that's so interesting I think you are the third person out of
all three people to immediately mention that the corners on this are like you're
scared you're going to get them caught on something or they're they're so obvious it's not really comfortable to
hold does the pen add to it cuz it has an S Pen like why do I need a pen I'm
like using my phone I am asking trying to bring you the best customer service I
mean like don't get me wrong if using this um the pen is cool using some of
the Samsung apps you can actually write out what you want and it'll translate it
to like digital text as if you typed it okay so if you're someone who prefers to
do kind of like more physical writing I think that could be a selling feature
okay I do feel a bit douchy with this
this one does have the highest megapixel count for the wide lens and I would love
to see your opinion compared to the Google pixel well the rollof is not as
nice the rollof how can you define that like what you for just for people at
home you know pixel sort of like have like the little bit like filmy look so
like the roll off like is smoother okay but like for this you can just tell like
the the you know the camera is trying to process like the edge of like the
highlights and stuff similar okay but uh
I I still prefer like the pixel yeah we can try to take a very similar picture
of Andrew I'll take a higher up picture of Andre this time just to be bit more
flattering we go okay so that's what I was expecting I was a little bit
horrified with the last one okay cuz the thing is yeah it wasn't a macro or
anything but like I take so many photographs of like little details like
this and I need a really good camera for up it's Andrew I mean that looks meh but
also I'm not I'm not doing any fever any favors at all we got one more Samsung
here for you this is the flip so you actually do have a screen on the outside
this is where you can like quick access notifications someone texts you you can
see who it is swipe it whatever but obviously it is still a phone you know
what I like about this is the fact that all I can see when I do that is the time
and the date and I'm not I don't have the temptation to like get distracted Y
which I do part of me misses the old days with the OG flip phones that's what
this is emulating yeah just bigger and more more smart phony but if you want to
take some photos or test whatever not bad again for most people probably going
to be okay yeah wow you immediately are like against it for it what's what's
your feelings okay um flip fun is cool
cool especially like Final Fantasy 7 you know the anime have you ever seen that
when the main character you know and then like do a flip B that's
freaking cool First Impressions you like the size of this one you kind of like
some of the features of this one but then the folding is you called cute
which one is kind of your top one out of these three I still think like even though this has got kind of cool
features I don't I'm not going to use the pen anything and I don't like the
corners this is just like for the wow
you know and for stupid girl pockets for the sake of trying things out I'm very
intrigued by this cool I I'm actually so happy that that is intriguing instead of
just like defaulting too similar what are the standout ones for you these two
you like those two this one seems me if I'm if I'm like exploring having
different features I should explore having different features cool or at least I feel like I should explore
having different features in great way to look at it another slightly more
different phone you don't necessarily like the Factor this one you think this
one's too big this one too big and cornery and I like this one so you would
just go with the s24 yeah we're getting into the ones that I'm calling the
iPhone mhm whether it's by physical design or the actual operating system
they try to make it as ease of use for iPhone users iOS users including having
an airdrop feature if whoever you're
airdropping to downloads an app you can air drop to them I know it's a little
inconvenient um is that only on the phone or can I do it to my
computer for me airdrop you don't have to install anything yeah um it just
works like you know I I hate to say that but like it it just works um that has
been the biggest complaint by far I think when we've asked anyone who's
willing to switch to an Android they're like what about airdrop okay I still
want you to check them out I still want to see what you think of them so let's start with our Oppo X8 here lonus did a
ShortCircuit on this one and he was genuinely very shocked with how much
this just felt like an iPhone hm yeah
like I can see why he said that for abs even with this like with the the
Bluetooth and everything this one's really going to come down to the interface and just kind of how they feel
for you right because if you like iPhone you might want to go towards these ones
but if you wanted to Adventure away from iPhone these might not be the choice you
want to do yeah these definitely feel very very similar in pretty much every
way they're very similar operating systems this one's a slight Branch yeah
off of our color OSS they both have Dynamic Island as well which is very
similar to iPhone which is like the whole camera bump and it'll show you
your charge times or your camera record like the rounded Corners Corner yeah
yeah both of them running incredible cameras actually you can see they're basically the exact same I believe
they're both by Hasselblad oh yeah okay well that looks familiar cuz that's like
the same they caught my eye with the
hustle bl light logo oh really yeah why is that significant first they well know
especially like if you're like a camp Runner type of thing like me when I see
hustle blah I know like the color is not going to be like suck that's good okay
well let's take a look then let's take a photo all right it's about the same as
Samsung as Samsung so you would still then prefer the pixel's camera I think
pixel camera might still be better okay that's an interesting design Choice why
is photo button red you would expect that to be video yeah right well that's
red and then that's yeah I mean I feel like I'm I'm
using my own phone I feel like if I'm
going to go ahead and use an Android I
might as well use something that's like actually feels like an Android because
it's going to feel I feel like it's going to just feel like my phone without
some of the features that I got it and that could lead to like frustration and
I think that would make me frustrated we have three more phones to go through and
then we'll narrow down our top three cool these are the kind of the curve balls we're throwing into the mix cuz
each one kind of is special in their own way this is the Asus Rog Phone 8 it's a
gaming phone I don't know how much
you jeez this thing is massive it's a chuner if you pick this phone it does
come with all the accessories and there is a attachment cooler if you would like
to have it on the back it honestly compromises a lot of features that I
think you'd like I can't even turn the thing on so never mind oh double USBC
which makes sense big feature yeah a l of trying to do something like that yeah
cuz it's a gaming phone right it's a gaming phone you want to you know game
when you are charging and stuff don't do that it's going to hurt your battery all
right to Crate wow that's a that's a UI
already you're a gamer so this is like they got their like you know the icon
got their own shape they fully embraced that they're like a g embra that's R it
looks like R and uh I in general like Rog stuff you should open up the camera
though I mean the the icon for it doesn't inspire a lot of confidence I
mean it seems fine I think everything these days is going to have a fine
camera pretty much no matter what you're doing I would assume yeah I think I
think that's a fair statement I think it's going to be enough for you to get by but I would not rely on like if you
had to send a client a nice photo I would not use this phone personally yeah
the uniformity is not as nice MH as uh
iPhone the next phone is the nothing phone 2A I want you to pick it up and
use it and tell me if something is different about
it do I have to put everything on this
yes it is very it is very okay I mean
the the reason why is it is a $400 phone it is dirt cheap it is a different phone
it is a very different pH yeah it also has a lot of like iPhone fit and feel to
it too other than you know until you turn it on and not so much if you decide
to commit to it we're going to give you the full nothing treatment if you want
to embrace the Android ecosystem you can have the buds and an Android watch these
are all from nothing and these all still come up out less than any one of these
phones honestly this does not feels like a $400 phone really for me like just
like design wise would you say it feels like more it it feels more premium than
like a $400 phone okay cool I think like good job nothing still has a 6,000
milliamp hour battery right that's my uh graph about iPhone too small of
batteries too small of battery we enlarg the battery size this year and it's
going to be the greatest iPhone ever made of course like if you're bringing a
new iPhone is supposed to be the best one do you like the OS interface cuz
it's very different I like it but like
I'm worried that like in a couple day I'd be like pretty over it it has lights
on the back oh yeah right I don't remember how to turn them on I think
like raintone see I'm like trying to pull down and then search that's like my
iPhone like muscle memory see that's going to be my biggest trouble off like
finding where all the things are wow
that's actually point you bring that up we're offering a one we and a 2 we
check-in warranty so after one week you can come to me with all of your issues
that you're having I will do my best to solve them okay and then after two weeks
one more time I'll do my best to solve them but then for the last two weeks
you're going to be on your own this is just to try to recreate you're buying a
new phone my contacts didn't syn what happened I'm going to help you with that
to make your transition as smooth as possible genis
bar oh yeah okay there you go that was cool
well it's uh it's definitely cool it's a talking feature you know like it's a
cool feature but like you're I don't know like probably most
of the time my phone stays in my pocket
so I can't see it you know what this could be useful H like if you're taking
photo of your kid oh you just play something funny cuz
they'll probably look at it yeah they'll probably look at it and it's like right
by the lens that's an interesting thought I didn't even think about that
we should take a look at the
camera wow that's a great sound that was
a noise yeah the camera looks like fine for like 400 bucks where would you rank
it amongst the other ones would you say it's like on par with like the Asus Rog
phone would you say it's the worst one we've looked at I think like right now
just looking at this it might be the worst one I've been intrigued by nothing
phones in the past not enough to really like explore it seriously but I'm just
Cur I I kind of like the the general idea this is the Sony xeria the reason
why this one's a little bit different is you're going to notice it's very skinny it is skinny it actually goes for the
aspect ratio similar to movies I don't want to call it a photographer phone
because you should just buy a camera if you're going to get into professional photography but the camera in this has
been compared to be some of the greatest cameras a lot of people really like it I
know Andy is very excited to pick out this phone personally I actually went to
like yodashi camera once was in Japan and I saw the newer version the six M um
I actually prefer the five I think this is 2129 yep the newer one is like 18 to9
or something like that so it's like wider the reason why I like this more is
like it's very one- handable for a larger phone I just can't like
one-handed type you should take the camera on this one cuz it's actually got
a lot of optical zoom not digital Zoom so if zooming in or whatever is
important to you and you have a camera shutter button so if you wanted to get
grab focus and then like actually take the photo oh wow again if that's
something you want to do super cool feature I would probably never use it
iPhone shutter button sucks really this
is the shutter button of iPhone this is the shutter button of the Sony one if
I'm like taking a photo oh it's actually not in the right
spot it's not in the right spot it's a very stiff button got it they call it
not a button but it's a button if you're like pressing it down often because the
stiffness I just shake the camera I think the problem is this is like the
overall clicky filling is really similar
to the power button on the iPhone on the iPhone got it um for the onlyy one it
feels distinct it feels like a shutter button to me we're going to move
everything to the side we're going to bring all our phones back out and we're going to slowly narrow it down to your
top three sure I feel like none of the the like kind of wild Cardy special ones
were really cool my thing we'll remove
them from our list then I do like this one cool I didn't think I would
but I'm just you know it's novelty it's kind of a showpiece it's kind and like
you said when you want to kind of go completely away from an iOS experience
this is probably going to be one of your more kind of custom ones that is not
going to feel like iOS because you have your screen on the outside I love how
small and how compact it is right so I think this is safe to say it's in your
top three I think it is okay we'll move it right to the side here then let's
start with eliminating some what are some that you just don't want let's just
take those two away for all right they are out and that those two okay let's
just do do some quick some decisions no that's good okay sorry RG I don't game
um that's going to go nothing means nothing to you it means something to me
okay do you think if you were buying a phone that would change your opinion
like do you think nothing could be in this list no okay okay Samsung I don't
really need a uh too small of a tablet too big of a
phone this WOW already okay phone gone I
like flip foam just not that foam factor I mean I think given what I'm trying to
do with the actual switch I'm also not inclined on either of these two okay
it's the gimmicks or the the gimmick because of other things okay we're down
to our last six here interesting choices so far it's so fun to see this compared
to everyone else already yes I would love to know which one is definitely in
your top three the Sony phone should have seen that one coming all right
let's eliminate the rest except for two more so that way we have our top three
oh that's really tough no I wouldn't use it okay I like the idea of it I'm just
not into the execution of it totally fine we'll move this one to the side
then so this one I was really interested in but then whenever we took the photo
it was super low quality and I just that's a deal breaker for me even though
I think it's a really cool phone and no it's a deal breaker okay then let's how
about we look at it on this phone cuz this phone has a better camera yeah I
mean this is quite good this just these two feel very similar this one's just
smaller the pixel XL is definitely a little bit bigger people keep telling me
that I should get a pixel let's put that into the top three top
three think if I'm going to get rid of one more it probably be that one wow
okay the ultra boy is gone so we're down to our Google flip our nothing phone and
then our Z flip here can I say another
phone that I want to keep sure which one do you want this the fold the fold
interesting because I always wanted to try phone and I wish iPhone has a fult
version these were the two that are definitely this was the most iphony one
yeah and then this was the one you picked up and said felt the most iPhone
this one feels like it in a physical sense so let's pick that one and put
these guys away we have our top three I need one more Andy one more as your
final for your top three sorry I'm OnePlus and ople oh they're gone the
ionies yeah I'm like switching to Android I want Android out of like these
four this one is makes the most sense if
I'm like purchasing it you're going to do camera comparison okay hi Andrew hi
Andrew yeah wow okay there you go it was
the down to the camera is what it was so our top three you have the pixel9 XL and
then obviously the pixel fold and then the Sony phone I now need you to
organize them from favorite to least favorite so you're going to move the
number one over here number two and then your number three I think I'm going to
do this so this one would be your first pick if somehow this gets taken this
would be your second pick and so forth yes yes yes you're locking it in yes
let's lock it in it's a tough decision but which one's your favorite or which
one's your least favorite if that helps make it easier feeling that one's going to end up being there three right really
the real question between these two is do I want a gigantic string screen or do
I want a small form factor phone I don't think I need a small form factor phone
see knowing you I feel like you could benefit more from the because you're
going to be able to whether it's opening up some sort of to show a client on a
show floor whether it's you get something emailed to you that you're
like I want to look at really quick in detail the screen resolution is great
120 HZ still it's an 8 in screen it's massive I think that would be your
pocket essentially which is pretty sick I think if I was going to have to pick
it would probably be in this order cool so fold the flip and then the nothing
phone you're locking that
in yeah cool yeah I will I want you to
organize it by one two and three because if someone else had picked some of these
phones which they have probably possibly but let's just say someone had put this
as their number one so you put it as your number one and like this this you
would get the Sony because they've already picked it so I'm going to let you organize it how you want and then we
will find out once everyone's gone which your phone is I think I actually this
exact order made it for me you're locking it in locking in cool I'll see
you in a bit I predict that I'm going to have difficulty with losing the
seamlessness between all of my Apple products because at the moment that's
something I use a lot I predicted I'm going to swap over pretty quick I've
been kind of meaning to try to swap for a while and the main thing was just
doing the initial transition after that I think it's going to be pretty easy I
predict that I'm probably going to switch back cuz um you know the amount
of like IPO devices that I have at home
I really enjoy just you know that I can send my music to anywhere in my home
that kind of like feeling I'm pretty sure angel can do that but I'm just you
know so used to ecosystem at this point like it's been like 16 17
years when the 30 days is up I will present them with a second trade offer
you receive the Android you picked I receive your iPhone forever forever just
like dbrands clear case it will stay clear forever and never turn yellow in
fact they are so confident in that that they offer a lifetime free replacement
if it ever does and like we mentioned earlier it's using a proprietary
antiscratch cating that took them over a year to research and develop so you can
be sure that it will hold up over time bouncing around in your pockets with
your keys or even when you toss it on the counter and in spite of it being
only 1.8 mm thick it still offers up to
12 ft of drop protection get yours now at I am very short.com thanks for
watching guys maybe go check out the video of my experience switching to the
iPhone 16 plus I did find a lot of
positive things to say but also had my fair share of issues dude iOS 18 is
still freaking buggy
