1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:06,240 30 days ago, free iPhone users were 2 00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:11,040 volunttoled to give up their iPhones for a little experiment. The goal was to 3 00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:16,320 figure out if all the issues that I ran into when I switched to an iPhone were 4 00:00:13,519 --> 00:00:22,160 just because of what I was used to or if I had all those issues because Android 5 00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:23,680 is just plain that much better. So to 6 00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:29,359 ensure they had the best possible experience, I gave them the choice of 7 00:00:26,080 --> 00:00:31,679 any flagship Android phone they want and 8 00:00:29,359 --> 00:00:35,680 went on vacation and trusting my minimum wage employee to guide them to the right 9 00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:41,360 choice. And you know what? I actually thought he did a really great job. That 10 00:00:38,399 --> 00:00:41,360 is until I saw 11 00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:52,960 this. What the heck happened? They all 12 00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:57,120 hate their Androids and they want their iPhones back, Linus. We didn't even get 13 00:00:55,199 --> 00:01:01,239 a chance to offer them the special bonus yet. Surely there must have been 14 00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:05,439 something they liked about the Android experience. Actually, there was. It 15 00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:09,439 turns out that in an ecosystem as diverse as Android, it's easy to find 16 00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:14,320 devices with unmatched strengths. However, in such a diverse ecosystem, 17 00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:19,840 you also don't have to go that far to find design choices that some consider 18 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:22,400 to be uh unnatural. So, there's going to 19 00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:26,560 be a lot to say. I sat on this little prick. Oh, I guess that makes sense. I 20 00:01:25,119 --> 00:01:30,720 guess I did forget to tell you about Dbrand and their overpriced stickers. 21 00:01:28,479 --> 00:01:34,000 Both Tiny, Lisa, and Andy all have the Glow Circuit skin on their phone, which 22 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:38,000 we partnered with Dbrand to collaborate and produce. It features a resin 3D 23 00:01:36,479 --> 00:01:41,920 printed design to give a little bit of grip. And of course, it glows in the 24 00:01:40,079 --> 00:01:46,720 flipping dark. You can pick yours up today for your phone, game console, or 25 00:01:43,759 --> 00:01:46,720 laptop by heading to 26 00:01:55,000 --> 00:02:01,520 betterltstore.com. There were three main areas. Our test subjects had feedback on 27 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:05,920 the Switch, so transferring and setting up the device. the Android experience 28 00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:10,560 and the phone experience, which is different because the physical phone you 29 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:13,440 pick has a big impact on the experience of using Android. And we're actually 30 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:18,800 going to start with the Switch since that's what's first. Andy, you chose the 31 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:23,360 Sony Xperia 15, but I couldn't help but notice during the month you had a Pixel 32 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:28,640 9 Pro. What actually happened? The reason why I switched mainly because I 33 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:33,760 think this is like a engineering sample so I can't really upgrade to like 34 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:36,239 Android 15. Originally I was like stuck 35 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:39,200 at like 13 during that transfer as well. One thing you mentioned you struggled 36 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:42,480 with was text messages though. They ended up still going to your iPhone for 37 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:47,440 the first little bit. Yeah. Right. Right. Because my number was like uh 38 00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:51,519 attached to my app messages and because my wife and my you know majority of the 39 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:57,200 friend like they all use like iPhone and stuff. Um, so when they were sending 40 00:02:54,319 --> 00:03:02,640 text message, it automatically sent IME messages instead of SMS. I see. So I 41 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:06,080 have to like unbung it. Did any of you guys also experience that issue at all 42 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:11,040 or was it right away working on your Android phone? It did happen the like 43 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:18,159 once or twice the first day and then I realized what happened. So So I had to 44 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:19,920 like kind of unlink it from my iPad and 45 00:03:18,159 --> 00:03:23,280 from everything basically. Got it. I knew that I had to unlink it from my 46 00:03:21,519 --> 00:03:26,560 account before I started so I didn't run into that issue. One other experience 47 00:03:24,879 --> 00:03:31,840 you ended up talking to me about was you had an issue with languages on your 48 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:34,400 phone. Usually um for all my um devices 49 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:40,080 I set to like two languages, right? So English as my primary. I set like the uh 50 00:03:37,599 --> 00:03:46,080 Mandarin on my Pixel as the secondary and if I like talk to my Google 51 00:03:42,879 --> 00:03:48,319 Assistant in English sometime it replies 52 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:51,280 in Mandarin. It's so random. Like sometimes like my Google system like 53 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:57,200 it's Mandarin speaking. Sometime my Google Assistant is like English speaking. I'm like make up your mind. So 54 00:03:55,920 --> 00:04:00,959 you guys didn't have to deal with the multi- languages. You only had it set it 55 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:04,000 in English. How was the other setting up and transferring to your phone? We'll 56 00:04:02,159 --> 00:04:08,159 start with Tynen. For me, the switchover wasn't too bad. For the most part, it 57 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:12,480 was pretty straightforward. I definitely had a little bit of uh finangling with 58 00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:15,519 trying to get the transfer via cable working. I think I ended up having to 59 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:20,079 like unplug, replplug, use different cables, restart both devices, and then 60 00:04:17,840 --> 00:04:24,240 it just worked. Yeah, same. I mean, transferring over like data like my 61 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:30,440 images and things was pretty straightforward. It was fine. Um, having 62 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:33,440 to redownload all my apps was a real 63 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:35,199 pain. Um, because obviously when I get a 64 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:39,840 new phone and it's the same, it's another iPhone, everything just comes 65 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:43,759 with it. But when I'm switching over, I have to download it. I didn't download 66 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:47,199 everything. I see you making a face. Did you have to deal with that as well? I 67 00:04:45,280 --> 00:04:52,000 noticed it as well. The thing that was weird for me was some things transferred 68 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:56,639 over. Some apps didn't. So, I would like go look for an app on my phone and be 69 00:04:54,479 --> 00:05:00,560 like, "It's not here, but I see a bunch of other ones." Did you guys have 70 00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:04,400 specific apps that just didn't work? I had an issue with the app that I used to 71 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:10,160 track my workouts. I couldn't sign into it because I didn't realize, but I had 72 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:14,639 signed in with my iCloud. And so it meant that the app developers didn't 73 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:18,400 have an option for me to sign in with my iCloud on the Android version of the on 74 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:22,000 the Android version of the apps. I did end up looking deeper into that as well. 75 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:25,600 Developers don't include that sometimes because in their mind if you're already 76 00:05:23,759 --> 00:05:28,960 using an Android, why would you be signing in with your iCloud account? 77 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:33,080 Some apps have workarounds such as adding an alternative sign in whether 78 00:05:30,639 --> 00:05:38,080 that's an email or maybe a different authentication. But if your app doesn't 79 00:05:35,039 --> 00:05:39,840 include that, you kind of get stuck. But 80 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:43,280 overall, other than some of those kinks, I feel like the Switch honestly might 81 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:46,880 have been our biggest highlight because it was quick and it's over with. How 82 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:51,199 would you guys rate the Switch on a scale of 1 to 10? I'd probably put it at 83 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:57,360 like a six or a seven. Okay. I don't know, like maybe a four. It was 84 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:59,520 frustrating, but like doable. Yeah, I'll 85 00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:01,919 put it in the middle, like fiveish. Now, we're going to move on to the hardware, 86 00:06:00,639 --> 00:06:05,039 which I think is where I actually got the most positive feedback from you 87 00:06:03,759 --> 00:06:08,639 guys. So, we're going to actually start with Andy. Did you switching over to the 88 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:13,280 Pixel give you a better Android experience than the one week you had the 89 00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:19,120 Sony? Yeah. Yeah. Like absolutely. Especially for the camera. So the camera 90 00:06:15,840 --> 00:06:20,800 I really do prefer this cuz I I did take 91 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:25,440 some comparison photo when we were in Disneyland actually on the iPhone and 92 00:06:22,639 --> 00:06:31,280 the Pixel. I did like AB test and the iPhone looks way more processed than 93 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:33,039 this guy even for the video. Like a lot 94 00:06:31,280 --> 00:06:38,639 of people say, "Oh, iPhone has the best like video functionality." Um, yes, but 95 00:06:36,639 --> 00:06:43,759 the iPhone video looks like a phone video. This more like a action cam. So, 96 00:06:41,280 --> 00:06:47,039 overall, the camera wins on this. And you mentioned the form factor of that 97 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:52,000 when we were picking phones might have been a little big on the XL. So, I 98 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:57,520 really prefer the battery uh life on this. So, like end of the day, I still 99 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:59,440 have like 50%. But like for this on 100 00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:04,319 Disneyland, like 10:00 a.m. I was charging. I still prefer the small size, 101 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:09,840 but I like the big battery. What was some negatives about the Google the 102 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:12,639 screenshot? So on the iPhone, oh I see 103 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:17,759 Lisa reacting to this as well. On the iPhone I can just squ and then like you 104 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:25,520 know I have my screenshot like taken. But for the Pixel I have to do like a 105 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:28,160 weird hand gesture doing this. Like why 106 00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:32,319 is that? I know Lionus in his iPhone video, he actually had the exact same 107 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:36,319 complaint because iPhone puts the volume rocker on the other side. It really is a 108 00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:40,240 personal preference which side you prefer the volume rocker on. You also 109 00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:43,919 had a different form factor. You can't put the volume button on your other side 110 00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:48,160 because that's where your hinge is. How was the form factor of a folding phone? 111 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:52,160 Barring the whole buttons on one side problem, I really liked having the form 112 00:07:50,319 --> 00:07:55,680 factor of the fold. I really like having the additional screen real estate for 113 00:07:54,400 --> 00:08:00,240 going through emails, going through Teams messages, being able to get a 114 00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:03,919 larger uh image to be able to show to myself. One thing you had a reaction to 115 00:08:02,479 --> 00:08:08,560 when we opened the phone the first time was the keyboard on the big screen. I 116 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:13,120 got fairly used to it, though I don't know if I would be able to blind type. 117 00:08:11,039 --> 00:08:16,560 When I was typing through with it open, I always found my eyes flitting between 118 00:08:15,039 --> 00:08:19,280 the two sides looking for where the keys are. Got it. You got better with it. So, 119 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:23,360 it was more of just like a practice thing. Lisa, you also had a very big 120 00:08:21,919 --> 00:08:27,599 reaction when Andy brought up the screenshotting. I'm supposed to somehow 121 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:32,240 press these two together, and if I'm tying in, I've got big thumbs, that's 122 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:34,959 okay. But that doesn't work for me. The 123 00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:39,360 other way you can do it is to put the palm of your hand or the heel your hand 124 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:43,360 across the screen. Like, seriously. Yes. Like, in in what universe is that a 125 00:08:41,599 --> 00:08:46,560 sensible gesture? I'm always going to have to use two hands. Were you bothered 126 00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:50,080 by the crease at all on the folding phone? cuz I know some people get really 127 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:54,240 they see them at a glance and they're like why would you pick that? That there's a big crease in the middle. No, 128 00:08:52,399 --> 00:08:57,200 I didn't I didn't mind that much. I know that some people when they looked at it 129 00:08:55,760 --> 00:09:01,440 that was the first thing they noticed but it didn't really bother me. And then 130 00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:04,959 the outside screen obviously you have a dual screen as well. Yours is much 131 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:09,519 smaller. Doesn't actually work. So cute. So when I had it sitting at my bedside 132 00:09:07,519 --> 00:09:13,760 at night, it was quite handy. It's just a little phone and I used it for I 133 00:09:11,680 --> 00:09:18,800 listen to books, audio books a lot and I had so I had the interface there. Um, 134 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:24,160 that was handy. And I also I just like the fact that I didn't have to always 135 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:25,920 open it to get key things. But that is 136 00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:30,320 one of the most popular Android phones for women. And you brought up the exact 137 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:35,040 reason why when we had our one-on-one, it actually fits in pockets. Stinky. Not 138 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:39,600 only fits in hands, man. Yeah. Apart from the stupid button thing. But um, 139 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:43,519 sorry, Samson, but it is stupid. But like, yeah, I mean, this actually fits 140 00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:48,880 in pockets and it fit in my bags and it was just I Yeah, I really like that. Out 141 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:52,399 of the phone choices you guys made, is there anything that was on that table 142 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:55,120 that you would have preferred to pick or do you think there's something else 143 00:09:53,360 --> 00:10:01,360 you've heard of whether it's not on that table? No, you wouldn't. You would have stuck with what you guys ended up with. 144 00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:03,760 Yeah. All right. No. Uhoh. I'll probably 145 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:08,480 go for a fold. Yes, you did actually have the fold as his number one choice, 146 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:12,560 but Pinan got to pick phones first. I want you guys to rate the form factor or 147 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:19,040 just the phone experience you guys had. I'd probably say nine or 10. Oh wow. 148 00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:20,800 Okay. I'd say like a purely on form. 149 00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:25,200 Probably about an eight. Okay. Seven or eight. Yeah. Cool. I'll give a seven. 150 00:10:23,279 --> 00:10:28,160 Yeah. Now we're going to get into probably why everyone clicked on this 151 00:10:26,560 --> 00:10:32,480 video, which is iPhone users trying Android. We're going to talk about 152 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:35,920 Android. Tynan, even if we ignored, you know, that weird split keyboard issue, 153 00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:42,240 you actually brought up another point with me was that your keyboard felt like it changed sometimes. Yeah. So, context 154 00:10:40,399 --> 00:10:45,279 switching for the keyboards is a thing in Apple as well, but it seemed a lot 155 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:49,839 more consistent depending on what type of app or UI I was in. One of the things 156 00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:55,440 I noticed with this one is if I was going to enter a password for a bank or 157 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:59,200 something similar to that, the interface of the keyboard would change quite a 158 00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:02,399 bit. For a lot of things like emails, the context switching was pretty 159 00:11:00,560 --> 00:11:07,120 consistent where I would be like, "Okay, I know I'm getting apps." Another issue 160 00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:11,440 you told me was about the Android Auto or your car. What happened with your 161 00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:16,640 car? You couldn't use it. Uh, I have a 2014 that does have Ford Sync or 162 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:20,320 Microsoft Sync. It didn't work if I connected through a USB cable regardless 163 00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:24,800 what the settings on my phone were. I end up having to connect it to 164 00:11:21,959 --> 00:11:28,560 Bluetooth, which with my iPhone, I didn't have to do that because it just 165 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:32,640 treated my car like an audio output device. Once I got used to it, having it 166 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:37,200 hooked up to Bluetooth was actually pretty nice. And I think if I switched 167 00:11:34,519 --> 00:11:40,640 back, I would have hooked my iPhone up to Bluetooth, too. Okay. Cuz then I 168 00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:45,279 don't have to connect it via cable. Yeah, Android Auto is actually my 169 00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:50,079 highlight of the Pixel. Okay. It's actually great. You know, this split 170 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:56,720 screen on the Apple CarPlay, the border on Android Auto is actually a lot 171 00:11:52,959 --> 00:11:59,519 slimmer and also you can basically have 172 00:11:56,720 --> 00:12:04,079 the map proportion a lot bigger than your media control. And then you can 173 00:12:01,519 --> 00:12:09,279 swap sides if you want. But on the iPhone, on the CarPlay side, you just 174 00:12:06,639 --> 00:12:13,519 stuck you stuck with half of your screen being the map and half of the screen 175 00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:18,560 being the media control. And the second thing is um if you're using Google map 176 00:12:16,399 --> 00:12:22,560 um like you know myself my car for example if you're using CarPlay it 177 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:28,720 doesn't really display navigation on your head-up display. Okay like anything 178 00:12:26,399 --> 00:12:34,560 else if you're using like Google map on the iPhone but the but on the Android 179 00:12:31,839 --> 00:12:39,519 Auto since the Google map is the default map app then I can have my navigation on 180 00:12:37,519 --> 00:12:43,760 my headup display this way. That is a plus. Okay, now we're two cars down. 181 00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:47,600 Your last car here. Did you have any positives with Android Auto? I did 182 00:12:45,279 --> 00:12:53,279 actually. I didn't have to choose where I was going as a route and start it for 183 00:12:51,519 --> 00:12:58,720 it to estimate how long it was going to take. With my iPhone, I have to actually 184 00:12:56,000 --> 00:13:04,160 say, right, I'm going to work start and it'll go, okay, 35 minutes. Got it. You 185 00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:07,920 could kind of get an estimate. Is it worth going to work? Should I just 186 00:13:05,680 --> 00:13:10,959 go home? You know, do you have RGB lights at home? cuz you mentioned you 187 00:13:08,959 --> 00:13:15,839 have smart home stuff. I specifically take Meta support one just so I can 188 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:20,880 integrate it into my home kit, but none of them work. They show up and on my 189 00:13:18,639 --> 00:13:26,079 iPhone HomeKit trying to connect connection failed. But like on the on 190 00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:30,800 the Android side is like everything just connect like magically. They're not only 191 00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:34,639 like easier to use, they're also cheaper. A lot cheaper than all the meta 192 00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:39,120 support, all the HomeKit support stuff. Oh, okay. So the Apple tax does exist. 193 00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:44,079 Well, paying for that Apple tax might be a benefit because then you don't get ads 194 00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:46,800 in your newsfeed, Andy. Exactly. Oh my 195 00:13:44,079 --> 00:13:50,800 god. You like week one, you came up to me and were so upset that when you swipe 196 00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:55,040 left on the home screen, you get the Android news feed that you can navigate 197 00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:59,440 and see articles and you were so bothered cuz they showed ads. Home 198 00:13:56,880 --> 00:14:05,120 screen. If I just swipe, first one is fine. Second one is fine. Third one is 199 00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:09,040 add. And if I go in here and then block 200 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:10,720 ad and no like if I refresh another ad 201 00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:14,959 but it's a different ad because it's a different ad from the same company from 202 00:14:12,399 --> 00:14:18,880 the same company. So for iPhone if I swipe the iPhone news doesn't really 203 00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:22,160 contain any ad. Well you guys mentioned having to swipe left to the news feed. 204 00:14:20,639 --> 00:14:26,480 One of Android's things you can pick from when you set up the phone is gestures. So you could either have the 205 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:30,160 three buttons at the bottom for your menu, your home, or your back or using 206 00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:35,760 swipe actions. What were some problems you had with gestures? uh really annoyed 207 00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:38,000 me because I was in my Chrome. I was and 208 00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:42,160 I couldn't go back. I was like, where? How do I how do I do this? I couldn't 209 00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:47,279 even tell you how it works on my on my iPhone because I don't notice it. And 210 00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:51,199 it's only whenever it doesn't work that I do notice it. Then I realized, okay, 211 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:55,440 so I have to make this decision between whether buttons or gestures. So I chose 212 00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:59,199 then to go buttons cuz then I could actually see what was happening. And but 213 00:14:57,199 --> 00:15:02,800 then I my gestures wouldn't work. Just really annoyed me. Why do you think you 214 00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:07,040 don't notice the gestures on iPhone? What I think it is is that they have 215 00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:11,360 spent an awful lot of time figuring out what is the most intuitive UX here? It's 216 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:15,519 because even whenever something new comes, I can figure it out. I actually 217 00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:18,320 handed my phone to one of my colleagues and was like, can you show me how to go 218 00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:21,839 back a page in this? And she's like, I don't know if I can't work it out in a 219 00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:26,399 couple of steps. That to me isn't intuitive. I don't know how to do it immediately, but I should be able to 220 00:15:24,639 --> 00:15:29,760 figure out how to do it. It's funny you bring that up because all of you almost 221 00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:35,519 brought up the same exact issue related in the Gmail app about switching between 222 00:15:32,639 --> 00:15:40,000 multiple inboxes cuz compared to Apple, it's all right there in one inbox or 223 00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:43,680 it's within one or two clicks to be able to switch to a more focused view. 224 00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:48,959 Weirdly enough for me, Apple Mail is just a very good app with a very easy to 225 00:15:46,959 --> 00:15:53,040 migrate system for going through all of your main inboxes. And then if you need 226 00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:57,680 to go into more detail for each mailbox, you can get there pretty quickly. And 227 00:15:55,519 --> 00:16:02,800 after a while, I got more used to it. But at the start, I missed clicking the 228 00:15:59,920 --> 00:16:06,079 mail app, seeing my three mailboxes. How many things unread do I have? And then 229 00:16:04,639 --> 00:16:11,839 you showed me, sorry to interrupt, but you showed me the um where I can click 230 00:16:09,279 --> 00:16:14,560 through the different ones. icon in the search bar, but it wasn't intuitive. 231 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:18,480 Like, how am I supposed to know that there's one little icon that doesn't 232 00:16:16,959 --> 00:16:22,000 have any sort of action or anything action associated with it? Yeah, cuz you 233 00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:26,480 actually also brought that point up even for the camera button on the lock 234 00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:30,160 screen. Yeah, it looks like a button. So, you go to click it and nothing would 235 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:33,600 happen. You go to click it. To me, if you want somebody to swipe, you do 236 00:16:32,079 --> 00:16:36,880 something that makes it look like it's a swipe. It's a meme that we've all 237 00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:42,000 learned. If something is wrong, you press it. Yeah. You know, I actually 238 00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:48,639 like the gesture on the Android, especially for the being able to go back 239 00:16:44,959 --> 00:16:51,440 if you swipe left, especially like for 240 00:16:48,639 --> 00:16:56,800 uh a larger phone that I have, uh swiping left to go back is very handy. 241 00:16:55,279 --> 00:17:01,839 Something I noticed with at least my phone, swiping either direction goes 242 00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:04,559 back. Oh. Which is nice, but also 243 00:17:01,839 --> 00:17:07,760 annoying. It's a it's a it's a double-edged sword because some of the 244 00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:11,679 times I really liked being able to do that, but then other times I would swipe 245 00:17:09,919 --> 00:17:17,439 back and be like, "Oh, I need to go to the page that I just backed on and I 246 00:17:14,959 --> 00:17:20,480 couldn't." Oh, that would drive me mad. One thing all three of you brought to me 247 00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:25,039 that was a positive, which is more limited to Android, was fast charging. 248 00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:29,600 Being able to see how much battery is left on the screen and how fast it's 249 00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:33,600 going to take to get to 100%. I actually went on a business trip. sounds so 250 00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:38,400 fancy, but I went on a on a work trip to Paris for a week um with two colleagues 251 00:17:36,559 --> 00:17:41,720 who both had iPhones and they had their like little battery packs with them and 252 00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:45,440 everything and my my phone was always completely full. Not completely full, 253 00:17:43,919 --> 00:17:48,880 but it was fine by the end of the day. But they were like they were sharing the 254 00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:53,760 battery packs and everything. So that was amazing. Now it could have been because this is a brand new phone and 255 00:17:51,679 --> 00:17:58,240 they've had theirs for a little while. Yeah. So I won't discount that. But 256 00:17:56,559 --> 00:18:02,480 yeah, I never had to worry about it. The fact that like when I'm plugging in, it 257 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:06,640 shows like if I'm like just charging or fast charging. That's awesome. Cuz like 258 00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:10,320 for iPhone, like you plug it in, you don't really know how how fast it's 259 00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:15,039 charging. And you don't really know how how long it'll take your uh phone to 260 00:18:12,559 --> 00:18:21,200 charge. I know, okay, 11:00 a.m. I can take my phone away with a full battery. 261 00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:23,440 But my iPhone, I just pray. 262 00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:27,039 One other battery note that I had while I was using it after I want to say a 263 00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:32,000 week or something like that, it gave me a prompt to say, "Do you want to make 264 00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:34,000 80% your max charge?" Oh, got it. And I 265 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:39,200 turned that on. Yeah. I didn't really notice that I was running out of battery 266 00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:43,360 pretty much ever. Got it. So, which is a notable improvement over my iPhone. You 267 00:18:41,120 --> 00:18:47,280 mentioned AirDrop. I'm going to address every comment here that said Quick 268 00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:52,480 Share. Did any of you get to try Quick Share on Android? quick share, I'd be 269 00:18:49,679 --> 00:18:57,679 able to like send images and stuff like between the Pixel and the Sony, no 270 00:18:55,200 --> 00:19:04,480 problem. Yeah. But since I'm a Mac user, if I'm like using a PC, for 271 00:19:00,120 --> 00:19:08,720 example, I can't really send message or 272 00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:11,919 uh just overall picture to my PC or my 273 00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:14,240 Mac without installing a software. When 274 00:19:11,919 --> 00:19:18,160 you work in images like I do, you do use AirDrop a lot. I use it multiple times a 275 00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:24,640 day. Whereas I need to be able to send something from my iPhone to my iPad 276 00:19:21,679 --> 00:19:28,960 possibly change move that from my Mac from my MacBook and then onto sometimes 277 00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:32,880 I use my MacBook along with my iMac. Sometimes I will use even the handoff. 278 00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:37,919 So I'll copy and paste I'll copy something from one of them and I'll paste it into something else in an email 279 00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:40,799 and I couldn't do that. And that's the biggest thing that goes into AirDrop is 280 00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:45,200 actually it's part of the bigger ecosystem called continuity which allows 281 00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:49,280 you to have your AirPods again connect to multiple devices and switch 282 00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:52,799 seamlessly. And AirDrop is part of that family. And so when you lose that, it 283 00:19:51,360 --> 00:19:59,520 can feel like you miss out on a lot of extra things as well. So we're going to rate Android out of 10. Five puts this 284 00:19:56,799 --> 00:20:05,679 on par with your iOS experience. 10 it was better, one it was worse. How would 285 00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:08,640 you rate Android overall? Probably six. 286 00:20:05,679 --> 00:20:12,240 Okay. little bit better. Yeah, some things were better, some things I 287 00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:16,240 missed, but I got used to them relatively quickly. Got it. For the 288 00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:21,200 Airrop, I think I would take it down a notch from five and say four. Got it. 289 00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:27,120 Out of 10, my Android experience is probably four cuz like I can't used to 290 00:20:25,039 --> 00:20:32,240 Android if I'm not in the ecosystem. It's it's a great phone, but overall 291 00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:36,760 like the ecosystem is just too good to be, you know, jump out. I think that's 292 00:20:34,159 --> 00:20:42,559 what it is. I think taken as a standalone it was perfectly fine and it 293 00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:46,880 worked perfectly well. But essentially what I have with my iPhone is part of a 294 00:20:44,799 --> 00:20:50,559 modular system. And if you try and and shoehorn anything into a part of a 295 00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:53,760 designed modular system that is is designed to work together. It's not 296 00:20:52,159 --> 00:20:56,960 going to work as smoothly. And I feel like that kind of leads into our 297 00:20:55,200 --> 00:21:01,679 conclusion here. It's a bit tough to come down to just the personal devices. 298 00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:06,799 But at the end of the day, did any of you feel that using Android would be 299 00:21:03,799 --> 00:21:09,360 impossible if suddenly the iPhone just 300 00:21:06,799 --> 00:21:14,320 failed to exist tomorrow? Absolutely not. Right. No. But tolerating something 301 00:21:11,919 --> 00:21:17,440 isn't the same as enjoying it. So, there was actually a little secret at the end 302 00:21:15,919 --> 00:21:20,480 of part one. I don't know if you guys watched the part one video all the way 303 00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:25,520 through. When we kicked off this challenge, Lionus actually mentioned 304 00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:27,760 that he had a special offer. 305 00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:33,520 When the 30 days is up, I will present them with a second trade offer. You 306 00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:38,640 receive the Android you picked. I receive your iPhone forever. Do any of 307 00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:42,559 you want to take him up on that offer and trade in your iPhone forever and 308 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:46,400 you'll get to keep the Android phone that you picked. Why or why not? Lisa's 309 00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:49,840 already shaking her head no. Andy's already shaking his head no. But my 310 00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:56,880 understanding it wasn't as easy as a decision as you thought it would be. It wasn't. I actually I really I really 311 00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:59,919 like the actual little phone. They were both great phones. They both do what 312 00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:07,039 they're supposed to do and they both do them very very well. And it's just those subtleties of like your own personal 313 00:22:03,679 --> 00:22:09,679 life and my life needs the things that 314 00:22:07,039 --> 00:22:15,360 the iPhone can do. There you go. So Lisa's out, Andy. So I'm going to switch 315 00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:19,880 back to my iPhone, but I do prefer all the form factor that you can get on the 316 00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:24,400 Android side. I do want to stay with this phone. The 317 00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:29,760 main pain points that I had switching over were mostly the switchovers. My 318 00:22:27,120 --> 00:22:35,760 family probably has some other thoughts because I broke all of our iMessage 319 00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:37,280 chats. Oh, yes. Group chats. We got one. 320 00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:40,240 I think that was actually exactly what Lionus predicted. He said that he 321 00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:44,720 believed you would switch over and you two wouldn't. I predict that Andy and 322 00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:49,200 Lisa are going to stick with iPhone and Tinen, the already Android curious user, 323 00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:52,720 is going to stick with Android. But I think he immediately ruled you guys out 324 00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:58,400 right away. So, it was kind of nice to see that there was some decision making 325 00:22:55,360 --> 00:23:01,039 that went into it. It wasn't just no, I 326 00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:06,000 don't want to try. Blus, cute little thief. My goodness. You know what I 327 00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:12,679 really like? Oh, yeah. A foldable iPhone. This one. Call it the iPhone 328 00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:17,039 with a ph. Sorry. Well, no matter what device they 329 00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:20,799 ended up with here today, our friends over at Dbrand had them covered.
