IOS to Android

[IndianDropout8933]

I have been using iPhone since the 3gs. Recently, I decided to make the switch to Android (Note 20 Ultra). I did my research and I feel like I am ready, but I was wondering if there are any specifics or tricks I should be aware of?

back up your data , apps through google account, contacts to sim or google

media files to sd card

android is all about customization your own way

Take advantage of the customization that's now at your fingertips. I highly recommend getting something like Nova Launcher Prime, it lets you tweak to your hearts content.

Why would you get a note 20, Samsung make b tier phones and price them stupidly. 

Uh. No. No they don't. They make easily some of the best phones Android has to offer.

Crap SoC, crap camera, stupid gimmicks and cost well over a grand. They’re just not great value for money. If you don’t care about the camera (which you clearly don’t if you’re going Samsung) you should just get a oneplus because you get pretty much the same phone with a better SoC and a better skin. 

Riiiight. The SD865+ is totally a crap SoC, and what's considered by many to be the best all around camera is totally stupid.

You're just talking out your ass. Which is pretty clear, since you think the 865 is somehow better than the 865+.

Depends, here it's the Exynos or is it just America that matters and it's worse than both the iPhone and pixel and is crammed with false advertising.

Depending on the settings that you choose it might have some ads, but most of them are in the store which google and apple also do. The exynos is indeed dissapointing. You also didn't adress the camera comments, so im just gonna say that it almosts beats apple in video and the pixel in pictures which means it has the best overall package expecially with the additional cameras.

I did address the camera it is literally crammed with false advertising. Like 108MP = More zoom. No just no. It doesn't have the ridiculous "100x" on the back like the S20 does but it's also claiming 50x zoom with no lost detail which is flat out BS. they'll mean vs the original picture but that's just the same as pinch to zoom it's not "50x zoom" which it's trying to make it sound like.

Both aren't very viable, but it does have much better zoom capibilities. Even though the top levels aren't usable doesn't mean the others are aswell.

It is nowhere near either, the night mode isn't as good and the 8K recording is a joke. Also it has the same camera setup as the iPhone just with worse processing and more MP which mean FA and if anything degrade the performance of the camera because more MP means less light per pixel which means a higher ISO is needed which means more noise. 

The night mode is actually very good and with 8k is again something that doesn't make sense, but the 4k mode has some of the best video you will see. From what I saw the note 20 ultra actually has better stability than even the iphone.

EDIT:

Also the Exynos version has significantly worse image processing.

Yup hate that shitty chip all you want, cause I hate it too.

It is nowhere near the levels of apples and especially googles night modes and the 4k just seems noisy especially in low light, not horrendous like the 8K but it still doesn't cope with non uniform materials or lighting changes very well and I don't thing OIS has been an issue on phones for a while now. I'd rather the camera be actually good vs a tiny bit more stable. Guessing the issues stem from the ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHT MP AMAZING SUPER LENS considering the issues rear their head in low light. 

From the videos I've seen they all seem to agree with me, but I will check it out when I get my own model.

It's something people need to be aware of because Samsung don't mention it on their product pages they're both listed as just "octa core" parts.

In my region they do mention it, but just at the bottem of the spec list.
