Samsung has commenced the rollout of its highly anticipated One UI 6.1 update to its flagship Galaxy smartphones from 2021 and 2022 in South Korea. This update, based on Android 14, introduces numerous enhancements and AI features to the Galaxy S22 series, Galaxy S21 series, and previous models of Galaxy foldable phones.
Samsung's Ecosystem Is Just As Good As Apple's—Here's Why
17.04.2024 - 21:19 / howtogeek.com / Bertel King
For a long time, Samsung did not pay as much attention to detail as Apple, had less of an ecosystem, and had fewer well-rounded devices. But all of this has changed. Skeptical? Here are areas where Samsung has managed to catch up and some where the company has pulled far ahead.
Samsung's Galaxy Holds Far More Devices
Back when Apple only offered one or two iPhone models, Samsung offered phones in any size or budget you could want. The same is true of tablets. Nowadays, Apple's lineup has gotten more complex, but Samsung still has more choices.
Samsung now has foldable phones, such as the Galaxy Z Fold and the Galaxy Z Flip. One is a book-style foldable, and the other is a flip. Apple offers neither. Want a phone with a built-in stylus? Get a Galaxy S Ultra. Apple doesn't do that sort of thing, either.
For the Apple Watch, there is the Samsung Galaxy Watch. For the AirPods, there's the Galaxy Buds. For MacBooks, there are Samsung laptops running Windows. Or you can launch Samsung DeX on a Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra (a tablet with a screen as big as a laptop's) and connect a keyboard. Both companies will sell you monitors, keyboards, and mice.
Samsung doesn't yet have an answer to Apple's Vision Pro VR headset, so there's that (though connecting a pair of Xreal glasses to your phone may be close enough). Yet we're still only scratching the surface of what Samsung sells. You can fill your entire home with Samsung appliances. Samsung TV isn't something you plug into a TV—it's an actual TV. Samsung is further along at selling you all the things.
The Devices Are Often Best In Class
Put both companies' most powerful phones against each other: iPhone 15 Pro Max versus the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra. Samsung offers a better screen (it's Apple's screen supplier, after all, as reported by 9to5Mac). Samsung provides more RAM. It offers faster charging speeds. On other measures, there isn't a clear winner, but many reviewers give the edge to Samsung.
As for tablets? The Samsung Galaxy S9 Ultra is larger even than the iPad Pro, with a 14.6-inch screen versus 12.9, and just as premium. There are quite a few reasons to choose a Samsung tablet over Apple's. Whether the Android app ecosystem can compete with Apple's is a different question, but it has become the more important one.
That's because when it comes to hardware, the gulf just isn't there. If you're considering an Apple Studio Display, you may be just as well served by the Samsung Viewfinity S9. Apple devices work best with other Apple devices by design. But if you just want the best hardware, Samsung's product is usually in the running, and you won't find yourself left with fewer features for choosing Windows as you often are with Apple products.
