WEBVTT 00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:06.240 30 days ago, free iPhone users were 00:00:03.520 --> 00:00:11.040 volunttoled to give up their iPhones for a little experiment. The goal was to 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 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 00:00:18.480 --> 00:00:23.680 is just plain that much better. So to 00:00:22.160 --> 00:00:29.359 ensure they had the best possible experience, I gave them the choice of 00:00:26.080 --> 00:00:31.679 any flagship Android phone they want and 00:00:29.359 --> 00:00:35.680 went on vacation and trusting my minimum wage employee to guide them to the right 00:00:33.520 --> 00:00:41.360 choice. And you know what? I actually thought he did a really great job. That 00:00:38.399 --> 00:00:41.360 is until I saw 00:00:48.360 --> 00:00:52.960 this. What the heck happened? They all 00:00:51.520 --> 00:00:57.120 hate their Androids and they want their iPhones back, Linus. We didn't even get 00:00:55.199 --> 00:01:01.239 a chance to offer them the special bonus yet. Surely there must have been 00:00:59.280 --> 00:01:05.439 something they liked about the Android experience. Actually, there was. It 00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:09.439 turns out that in an ecosystem as diverse as Android, it's easy to find 00:01:07.360 --> 00:01:14.320 devices with unmatched strengths. However, in such a diverse ecosystem, 00:01:11.920 --> 00:01:19.840 you also don't have to go that far to find design choices that some consider 00:01:16.560 --> 00:01:22.400 to be uh unnatural. So, there's going to 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 00:01:25.119 --> 00:01:30.720 guess I did forget to tell you about Dbrand and their overpriced stickers. 00:01:28.479 --> 00:01:34.000 Both Tiny, Lisa, and Andy all have the Glow Circuit skin on their phone, which 00:01:32.400 --> 00:01:38.000 we partnered with Dbrand to collaborate and produce. It features a resin 3D 00:01:36.479 --> 00:01:41.920 printed design to give a little bit of grip. And of course, it glows in the 00:01:40.079 --> 00:01:46.720 flipping dark. You can pick yours up today for your phone, game console, or 00:01:43.759 --> 00:01:46.720 laptop by heading to 00:01:55.000 --> 00:02:01.520 betterltstore.com. There were three main areas. Our test subjects had feedback on 00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:05.920 the Switch, so transferring and setting up the device. the Android experience 00:02:03.840 --> 00:02:10.560 and the phone experience, which is different because the physical phone you 00:02:07.920 --> 00:02:13.440 pick has a big impact on the experience of using Android. And we're actually 00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:18.800 going to start with the Switch since that's what's first. Andy, you chose the 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 00:02:20.480 --> 00:02:28.640 9 Pro. What actually happened? The reason why I switched mainly because I 00:02:26.160 --> 00:02:33.760 think this is like a engineering sample so I can't really upgrade to like 00:02:30.720 --> 00:02:36.239 Android 15. Originally I was like stuck 00:02:33.760 --> 00:02:39.200 at like 13 during that transfer as well. One thing you mentioned you struggled 00:02:37.440 --> 00:02:42.480 with was text messages though. They ended up still going to your iPhone for 00:02:41.120 --> 00:02:47.440 the first little bit. Yeah. Right. Right. Because my number was like uh 00:02:45.040 --> 00:02:51.519 attached to my app messages and because my wife and my you know majority of the 00:02:49.680 --> 00:02:57.200 friend like they all use like iPhone and stuff. Um, so when they were sending 00:02:54.319 --> 00:03:02.640 text message, it automatically sent IME messages instead of SMS. I see. So I 00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:06.080 have to like unbung it. Did any of you guys also experience that issue at all 00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:11.040 or was it right away working on your Android phone? It did happen the like 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 00:03:14.400 --> 00:03:19.920 like kind of unlink it from my iPad and 00:03:18.159 --> 00:03:23.280 from everything basically. Got it. I knew that I had to unlink it from my 00:03:21.519 --> 00:03:26.560 account before I started so I didn't run into that issue. One other experience 00:03:24.879 --> 00:03:31.840 you ended up talking to me about was you had an issue with languages on your 00:03:28.400 --> 00:03:34.400 phone. Usually um for all my um devices 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 00:03:37.599 --> 00:03:46.080 Mandarin on my Pixel as the secondary and if I like talk to my Google 00:03:42.879 --> 00:03:48.319 Assistant in English sometime it replies 00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:51.280 in Mandarin. It's so random. Like sometimes like my Google system like 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 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 00:03:59.120 --> 00:04:04.000 in English. How was the other setting up and transferring to your phone? We'll 00:04:02.159 --> 00:04:08.159 start with Tynen. For me, the switchover wasn't too bad. For the most part, it 00:04:05.920 --> 00:04:12.480 was pretty straightforward. I definitely had a little bit of uh finangling with 00:04:10.480 --> 00:04:15.519 trying to get the transfer via cable working. I think I ended up having to 00:04:13.920 --> 00:04:20.079 like unplug, replplug, use different cables, restart both devices, and then 00:04:17.840 --> 00:04:24.240 it just worked. Yeah, same. I mean, transferring over like data like my 00:04:22.720 --> 00:04:30.440 images and things was pretty straightforward. It was fine. Um, having 00:04:27.360 --> 00:04:33.440 to redownload all my apps was a real 00:04:30.440 --> 00:04:35.199 pain. Um, because obviously when I get a 00:04:33.440 --> 00:04:39.840 new phone and it's the same, it's another iPhone, everything just comes 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 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 00:04:45.280 --> 00:04:52.000 noticed it as well. The thing that was weird for me was some things transferred 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 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 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 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 00:05:07.360 --> 00:05:14.639 signed in with my iCloud. And so it meant that the app developers didn't 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 00:05:16.720 --> 00:05:22.000 the Android version of the apps. I did end up looking deeper into that as well. 00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:25.600 Developers don't include that sometimes because in their mind if you're already 00:05:23.759 --> 00:05:28.960 using an Android, why would you be signing in with your iCloud account? 00:05:27.520 --> 00:05:33.080 Some apps have workarounds such as adding an alternative sign in whether 00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:38.080 that's an email or maybe a different authentication. But if your app doesn't 00:05:35.039 --> 00:05:39.840 include that, you kind of get stuck. But 00:05:38.080 --> 00:05:43.280 overall, other than some of those kinks, I feel like the Switch honestly might 00:05:42.000 --> 00:05:46.880 have been our biggest highlight because it was quick and it's over with. How 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 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 00:05:54.000 --> 00:05:59.520 frustrating, but like doable. Yeah, I'll 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, 00:06:00.639 --> 00:06:05.039 which I think is where I actually got the most positive feedback from you 00:06:03.759 --> 00:06:08.639 guys. So, we're going to actually start with Andy. Did you switching over to the 00:06:07.120 --> 00:06:13.280 Pixel give you a better Android experience than the one week you had the 00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:19.120 Sony? Yeah. Yeah. Like absolutely. Especially for the camera. So the camera 00:06:15.840 --> 00:06:20.800 I really do prefer this cuz I I did take 00:06:19.120 --> 00:06:25.440 some comparison photo when we were in Disneyland actually on the iPhone and 00:06:22.639 --> 00:06:31.280 the Pixel. I did like AB test and the iPhone looks way more processed than 00:06:27.600 --> 00:06:33.039 this guy even for the video. Like a lot 00:06:31.280 --> 00:06:38.639 of people say, "Oh, iPhone has the best like video functionality." Um, yes, but 00:06:36.639 --> 00:06:43.759 the iPhone video looks like a phone video. This more like a action cam. So, 00:06:41.280 --> 00:06:47.039 overall, the camera wins on this. And you mentioned the form factor of that 00:06:45.520 --> 00:06:52.000 when we were picking phones might have been a little big on the XL. So, I 00:06:49.360 --> 00:06:57.520 really prefer the battery uh life on this. So, like end of the day, I still 00:06:54.000 --> 00:06:59.440 have like 50%. But like for this on 00:06:57.520 --> 00:07:04.319 Disneyland, like 10:00 a.m. I was charging. I still prefer the small size, 00:07:02.240 --> 00:07:09.840 but I like the big battery. What was some negatives about the Google the 00:07:06.440 --> 00:07:12.639 screenshot? So on the iPhone, oh I see 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 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 00:07:22.000 --> 00:07:28.160 weird hand gesture doing this. Like why 00:07:25.520 --> 00:07:32.319 is that? I know Lionus in his iPhone video, he actually had the exact same 00:07:30.240 --> 00:07:36.319 complaint because iPhone puts the volume rocker on the other side. It really is a 00:07:34.960 --> 00:07:40.240 personal preference which side you prefer the volume rocker on. You also 00:07:38.400 --> 00:07:43.919 had a different form factor. You can't put the volume button on your other side 00:07:41.840 --> 00:07:48.160 because that's where your hinge is. How was the form factor of a folding phone? 00:07:45.840 --> 00:07:52.160 Barring the whole buttons on one side problem, I really liked having the form 00:07:50.319 --> 00:07:55.680 factor of the fold. I really like having the additional screen real estate for 00:07:54.400 --> 00:08:00.240 going through emails, going through Teams messages, being able to get a 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 00:08:02.479 --> 00:08:08.560 when we opened the phone the first time was the keyboard on the big screen. I 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. 00:08:11.039 --> 00:08:16.560 When I was typing through with it open, I always found my eyes flitting between 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, 00:08:18.080 --> 00:08:23.360 it was more of just like a practice thing. Lisa, you also had a very big 00:08:21.919 --> 00:08:27.599 reaction when Andy brought up the screenshotting. I'm supposed to somehow 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 00:08:29.160 --> 00:08:34.959 okay. But that doesn't work for me. The 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 00:08:36.640 --> 00:08:43.360 across the screen. Like, seriously. Yes. Like, in in what universe is that a 00:08:41.599 --> 00:08:46.560 sensible gesture? I'm always going to have to use two hands. Were you bothered 00:08:45.040 --> 00:08:50.080 by the crease at all on the folding phone? cuz I know some people get really 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, 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 00:08:55.760 --> 00:09:01.440 that was the first thing they noticed but it didn't really bother me. And then 00:08:59.120 --> 00:09:04.959 the outside screen obviously you have a dual screen as well. Yours is much 00:09:03.040 --> 00:09:09.519 smaller. Doesn't actually work. So cute. So when I had it sitting at my bedside 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 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, 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 00:09:20.240 --> 00:09:25.920 open it to get key things. But that is 00:09:24.160 --> 00:09:30.320 one of the most popular Android phones for women. And you brought up the exact 00:09:27.760 --> 00:09:35.040 reason why when we had our one-on-one, it actually fits in pockets. Stinky. Not 00:09:32.720 --> 00:09:39.600 only fits in hands, man. Yeah. Apart from the stupid button thing. But um, 00:09:37.600 --> 00:09:43.519 sorry, Samson, but it is stupid. But like, yeah, I mean, this actually fits 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 00:09:46.880 --> 00:09:52.399 of the phone choices you guys made, is there anything that was on that table 00:09:50.160 --> 00:09:55.120 that you would have preferred to pick or do you think there's something else 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. 00:09:57.760 --> 00:10:03.760 Yeah. All right. No. Uhoh. I'll probably 00:10:01.360 --> 00:10:08.480 go for a fold. Yes, you did actually have the fold as his number one choice, 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 00:10:10.240 --> 00:10:19.040 just the phone experience you guys had. I'd probably say nine or 10. Oh wow. 00:10:15.200 --> 00:10:20.800 Okay. I'd say like a purely on form. 00:10:19.040 --> 00:10:25.200 Probably about an eight. Okay. Seven or eight. Yeah. Cool. I'll give a seven. 00:10:23.279 --> 00:10:28.160 Yeah. Now we're going to get into probably why everyone clicked on this 00:10:26.560 --> 00:10:32.480 video, which is iPhone users trying Android. We're going to talk about 00:10:29.760 --> 00:10:35.920 Android. Tynan, even if we ignored, you know, that weird split keyboard issue, 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 00:10:40.399 --> 00:10:45.279 switching for the keyboards is a thing in Apple as well, but it seemed a lot 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 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 00:10:52.720 --> 00:10:59.200 something similar to that, the interface of the keyboard would change quite a 00:10:57.360 --> 00:11:02.399 bit. For a lot of things like emails, the context switching was pretty 00:11:00.560 --> 00:11:07.120 consistent where I would be like, "Okay, I know I'm getting apps." Another issue 00:11:04.480 --> 00:11:11.440 you told me was about the Android Auto or your car. What happened with your 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 00:11:14.160 --> 00:11:20.320 Microsoft Sync. It didn't work if I connected through a USB cable regardless 00:11:18.480 --> 00:11:24.800 what the settings on my phone were. I end up having to connect it to 00:11:21.959 --> 00:11:28.560 Bluetooth, which with my iPhone, I didn't have to do that because it just 00:11:26.640 --> 00:11:32.640 treated my car like an audio output device. Once I got used to it, having it 00:11:31.360 --> 00:11:37.200 hooked up to Bluetooth was actually pretty nice. And I think if I switched 00:11:34.519 --> 00:11:40.640 back, I would have hooked my iPhone up to Bluetooth, too. Okay. Cuz then I 00:11:38.880 --> 00:11:45.279 don't have to connect it via cable. Yeah, Android Auto is actually my 00:11:42.640 --> 00:11:50.079 highlight of the Pixel. Okay. It's actually great. You know, this split 00:11:47.200 --> 00:11:56.720 screen on the Apple CarPlay, the border on Android Auto is actually a lot 00:11:52.959 --> 00:11:59.519 slimmer and also you can basically have 00:11:56.720 --> 00:12:04.079 the map proportion a lot bigger than your media control. And then you can 00:12:01.519 --> 00:12:09.279 swap sides if you want. But on the iPhone, on the CarPlay side, you just 00:12:06.639 --> 00:12:13.519 stuck you stuck with half of your screen being the map and half of the screen 00:12:11.120 --> 00:12:18.560 being the media control. And the second thing is um if you're using Google map 00:12:16.399 --> 00:12:22.560 um like you know myself my car for example if you're using CarPlay it 00:12:20.720 --> 00:12:28.720 doesn't really display navigation on your head-up display. Okay like anything 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 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 00:12:37.519 --> 00:12:43.760 my headup display this way. That is a plus. Okay, now we're two cars down. 00:12:42.240 --> 00:12:47.600 Your last car here. Did you have any positives with Android Auto? I did 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 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 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 00:13:01.200 --> 00:13:07.920 could kind of get an estimate. Is it worth going to work? Should I just 00:13:05.680 --> 00:13:10.959 go home? You know, do you have RGB lights at home? cuz you mentioned you 00:13:08.959 --> 00:13:15.839 have smart home stuff. I specifically take Meta support one just so I can 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 00:13:18.639 --> 00:13:26.079 iPhone HomeKit trying to connect connection failed. But like on the on 00:13:23.600 --> 00:13:30.800 the Android side is like everything just connect like magically. They're not only 00:13:28.240 --> 00:13:34.639 like easier to use, they're also cheaper. A lot cheaper than all the meta 00:13:33.120 --> 00:13:39.120 support, all the HomeKit support stuff. Oh, okay. So the Apple tax does exist. 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 00:13:41.040 --> 00:13:46.800 in your newsfeed, Andy. Exactly. Oh my 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 00:13:49.040 --> 00:13:55.040 left on the home screen, you get the Android news feed that you can navigate 00:13:52.720 --> 00:13:59.440 and see articles and you were so bothered cuz they showed ads. Home 00:13:56.880 --> 00:14:05.120 screen. If I just swipe, first one is fine. Second one is fine. Third one is 00:14:01.760 --> 00:14:09.040 add. And if I go in here and then block 00:14:05.120 --> 00:14:10.720 ad and no like if I refresh another ad 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 00:14:12.399 --> 00:14:18.880 the same company. So for iPhone if I swipe the iPhone news doesn't really 00:14:16.880 --> 00:14:22.160 contain any ad. Well you guys mentioned having to swipe left to the news feed. 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 00:14:25.040 --> 00:14:30.160 three buttons at the bottom for your menu, your home, or your back or using 00:14:28.240 --> 00:14:35.760 swipe actions. What were some problems you had with gestures? uh really annoyed 00:14:32.240 --> 00:14:38.000 me because I was in my Chrome. I was and 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 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 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, 00:14:49.600 --> 00:14:55.440 so I have to make this decision between whether buttons or gestures. So I chose 00:14:53.600 --> 00:14:59.199 then to go buttons cuz then I could actually see what was happening. And but 00:14:57.199 --> 00:15:02.800 then I my gestures wouldn't work. Just really annoyed me. Why do you think you 00:15:01.120 --> 00:15:07.040 don't notice the gestures on iPhone? What I think it is is that they have 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 00:15:10.000 --> 00:15:15.519 because even whenever something new comes, I can figure it out. I actually 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 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 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 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 00:15:27.760 --> 00:15:35.519 brought up the same exact issue related in the Gmail app about switching between 00:15:32.639 --> 00:15:40.000 multiple inboxes cuz compared to Apple, it's all right there in one inbox or 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. 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 00:15:46.959 --> 00:15:53.040 migrate system for going through all of your main inboxes. And then if you need 00:15:51.040 --> 00:15:57.680 to go into more detail for each mailbox, you can get there pretty quickly. And 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 00:15:59.920 --> 00:16:06.079 mail app, seeing my three mailboxes. How many things unread do I have? And then 00:16:04.639 --> 00:16:11.839 you showed me, sorry to interrupt, but you showed me the um where I can click 00:16:09.279 --> 00:16:14.560 through the different ones. icon in the search bar, but it wasn't intuitive. 00:16:13.440 --> 00:16:18.480 Like, how am I supposed to know that there's one little icon that doesn't 00:16:16.959 --> 00:16:22.000 have any sort of action or anything action associated with it? Yeah, cuz you 00:16:20.560 --> 00:16:26.480 actually also brought that point up even for the camera button on the lock 00:16:24.160 --> 00:16:30.160 screen. Yeah, it looks like a button. So, you go to click it and nothing would 00:16:28.000 --> 00:16:33.600 happen. You go to click it. To me, if you want somebody to swipe, you do 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 00:16:35.440 --> 00:16:42.000 learned. If something is wrong, you press it. Yeah. You know, I actually 00:16:39.680 --> 00:16:48.639 like the gesture on the Android, especially for the being able to go back 00:16:44.959 --> 00:16:51.440 if you swipe left, especially like for 00:16:48.639 --> 00:16:56.800 uh a larger phone that I have, uh swiping left to go back is very handy. 00:16:55.279 --> 00:17:01.839 Something I noticed with at least my phone, swiping either direction goes 00:16:58.560 --> 00:17:04.559 back. Oh. Which is nice, but also 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 00:17:06.000 --> 00:17:11.679 times I really liked being able to do that, but then other times I would swipe 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 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 00:17:18.640 --> 00:17:25.039 that was a positive, which is more limited to Android, was fast charging. 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 00:17:26.720 --> 00:17:33.600 going to take to get to 100%. I actually went on a business trip. sounds so 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 00:17:36.559 --> 00:17:41.720 who both had iPhones and they had their like little battery packs with them and 00:17:39.840 --> 00:17:45.440 everything and my my phone was always completely full. Not completely full, 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 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 00:17:51.679 --> 00:17:58.240 they've had theirs for a little while. Yeah. So I won't discount that. But 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 00:18:00.320 --> 00:18:06.640 shows like if I'm like just charging or fast charging. That's awesome. Cuz like 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 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 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. 00:18:17.280 --> 00:18:23.440 But my iPhone, I just pray. 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 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 00:18:28.960 --> 00:18:34.000 80% your max charge?" Oh, got it. And I 00:18:32.000 --> 00:18:39.200 turned that on. Yeah. I didn't really notice that I was running out of battery 00:18:36.480 --> 00:18:43.360 pretty much ever. Got it. So, which is a notable improvement over my iPhone. You 00:18:41.120 --> 00:18:47.280 mentioned AirDrop. I'm going to address every comment here that said Quick 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 00:18:49.679 --> 00:18:57.679 able to like send images and stuff like between the Pixel and the Sony, no 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 00:19:00.120 --> 00:19:08.720 example, I can't really send message or 00:19:04.480 --> 00:19:11.919 uh just overall picture to my PC or my 00:19:08.720 --> 00:19:14.240 Mac without installing a software. When 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 00:19:16.320 --> 00:19:24.640 day. Whereas I need to be able to send something from my iPhone to my iPad 00:19:21.679 --> 00:19:28.960 possibly change move that from my Mac from my MacBook and then onto sometimes 00:19:26.640 --> 00:19:32.880 I use my MacBook along with my iMac. Sometimes I will use even the handoff. 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 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 00:19:39.600 --> 00:19:45.200 actually it's part of the bigger ecosystem called continuity which allows 00:19:42.960 --> 00:19:49.280 you to have your AirPods again connect to multiple devices and switch 00:19:46.640 --> 00:19:52.799 seamlessly. And AirDrop is part of that family. And so when you lose that, it 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 00:19:56.799 --> 00:20:05.679 on par with your iOS experience. 10 it was better, one it was worse. How would 00:20:00.880 --> 00:20:08.640 you rate Android overall? Probably six. 00:20:05.679 --> 00:20:12.240 Okay. little bit better. Yeah, some things were better, some things I 00:20:10.880 --> 00:20:16.240 missed, but I got used to them relatively quickly. Got it. For the 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. 00:20:18.320 --> 00:20:27.120 Out of 10, my Android experience is probably four cuz like I can't used to 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 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 00:20:34.159 --> 00:20:42.559 what it is. I think taken as a standalone it was perfectly fine and it 00:20:39.840 --> 00:20:46.880 worked perfectly well. But essentially what I have with my iPhone is part of a 00:20:44.799 --> 00:20:50.559 modular system. And if you try and and shoehorn anything into a part of a 00:20:48.640 --> 00:20:53.760 designed modular system that is is designed to work together. It's not 00:20:52.159 --> 00:20:56.960 going to work as smoothly. And I feel like that kind of leads into our 00:20:55.200 --> 00:21:01.679 conclusion here. It's a bit tough to come down to just the personal devices. 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 00:21:03.799 --> 00:21:09.360 impossible if suddenly the iPhone just 00:21:06.799 --> 00:21:14.320 failed to exist tomorrow? Absolutely not. Right. No. But tolerating something 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 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 00:21:18.960 --> 00:21:25.520 through. When we kicked off this challenge, Lionus actually mentioned 00:21:22.000 --> 00:21:27.760 that he had a special offer. 00:21:25.520 --> 00:21:33.520 When the 30 days is up, I will present them with a second trade offer. You 00:21:31.280 --> 00:21:38.640 receive the Android you picked. I receive your iPhone forever. Do any of 00:21:36.640 --> 00:21:42.559 you want to take him up on that offer and trade in your iPhone forever and 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 00:21:44.880 --> 00:21:49.840 already shaking her head no. Andy's already shaking his head no. But my 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 00:21:54.240 --> 00:21:59.919 like the actual little phone. They were both great phones. They both do what 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 00:22:03.679 --> 00:22:09.679 life and my life needs the things that 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 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 00:22:17.760 --> 00:22:24.400 Android side. I do want to stay with this phone. The 00:22:22.400 --> 00:22:29.760 main pain points that I had switching over were mostly the switchovers. My 00:22:27.120 --> 00:22:35.760 family probably has some other thoughts because I broke all of our iMessage 00:22:31.520 --> 00:22:37.280 chats. Oh, yes. Group chats. We got one. 00:22:35.760 --> 00:22:40.240 I think that was actually exactly what Lionus predicted. He said that he 00:22:38.880 --> 00:22:44.720 believed you would switch over and you two wouldn't. I predict that Andy and 00:22:42.720 --> 00:22:49.200 Lisa are going to stick with iPhone and Tinen, the already Android curious user, 00:22:47.280 --> 00:22:52.720 is going to stick with Android. But I think he immediately ruled you guys out 00:22:50.960 --> 00:22:58.400 right away. So, it was kind of nice to see that there was some decision making 00:22:55.360 --> 00:23:01.039 that went into it. It wasn't just no, I 00:22:58.400 --> 00:23:06.000 don't want to try. Blus, cute little thief. My goodness. You know what I 00:23:04.000 --> 00:23:12.679 really like? Oh, yeah. A foldable iPhone. This one. Call it the iPhone 00:23:09.760 --> 00:23:17.039 with a ph. Sorry. Well, no matter what device they 00:23:14.960 --> 00:23:20.799 ended up with here today, our friends over at Dbrand had them covered. Not 00:23:19.120 --> 00:23:24.640 only do they make skins for a wide variety of devices, but they also have 00:23:22.480 --> 00:23:28.559 cases. The grip case offers incredible drop protection while also having an 00:23:26.640 --> 00:23:32.320 incredibly grippy texture to make it tough to drop in the first place. Like 00:23:30.480 --> 00:23:36.480 Linus. And their Ghost case is clear with a 100% guarantee of never turning 00:23:34.880 --> 00:23:40.720 yellow. They are so confident in that that they claim you will die before it 00:23:38.559 --> 00:23:44.640 does. That's kind of a grim thing to say. Or you can take them up on their 00:23:42.880 --> 00:23:47.840 lifetime free replacement warranty. Check them out at 00:23:46.120 --> 00:23:51.919 betterlttstore.com. If you guys enjoyed this video, go check out when Lionus 00:23:49.520 --> 00:23:57.360 switched to iPhone from Android. He had some positives to say, but he also had 00:23:54.240 --> 00:23:57.360 quite a lot of gripes with
