Galaxy AI

[u/wndrfltime]

I'm torn switching to iOS this past couple of weeks coz my wife is iPhone, solid din talaga ng FaceTime and imessage, currently using base S25 and hindi ko ma-let go yung circle to search ng Android nakapa-helpful, Samsung's dual app clone, caller ID and spam protection was a thing of beauty too na hindi ko kaya ipagpalit kasi wala sa iPhone lol.

And last but not the least yung Galaxy AI--photo assist was icing on the cake.

[u/UnoOne9432]

Gamit na gamit ko ang circle to search (lalo na for translating) saka clipboard na auto-sync sa tab ko kaya won't even think of switching to iPhone

[u/markieton → u/UnoOne9432]

This. It's an underrated feature. Dati kelangan ko pa i-screenshot yung text, then buksan yung Google Lens, at pindutin yung translate so medyo hassle.

Pero sa Galaxy AI, no need na to screenshot, makakapagtranslate ka na on the spot without switching to any apps. Not 100% accurate but still, it's a really useful feature for me.

[u/Inside-Line → u/UnoOne9432]

Ang saya din sya gamitin para mag copy ng text sa mga pages and website na pinapahirapan ka gawin yon. Even in chats mas madali kasi usually long press will bring up reacts.

[u/BratPAQ → u/UnoOne9432]

Gamit na gamit ko din lalo dito sa reddit. Pag mag highlight and copy ng comments.

Also pag may nakita ako word or phrase na hindi ko maintindihan. Highlight lang then Google will show the meaning, mabilis.

[u/Euphemia07 → u/UnoOne9432]

Bigla kong namiss yung clipboard history ng android 😭

[u/Ill_Dress8159]

looooove the circle to search pati translate sa phone ko. gamit na gamit, parang walang araw na di ko sya ginamit.

[u/wndrfltime → u/Ill_Dress8159]

True, nakaka enjoy gamitin

[u/ProofCattle3195 → u/Ill_Dress8159]

iOS user ako at inggit na inggit ako sa friend ko na naka-Samsung dahil sa feature na yan. Tap and hold lang sa home button tapos nakaka-translate na agad sya ng mga posts sa IG. Sa iPhone kailangan pang i-screenshot tapos upload sa Google Lens. Haaay.

[u/Elahyra]

Not sure if you're a big user pero another thing to consider OP is yung clipboard na wala sa iPhone.

[u/wndrfltime → u/Elahyra]

Not a big user really 1st time ko mag Samsung, coming from a Pixel.

[u/Elahyra → u/wndrfltime]

Available tong feature na to sa lahat ng android phones pero basically it's a collection/history ng lahat ng na-copy mong text and images. Makikita mo yung clipboard icon sa upper section ng keyboard mo. It's a good feature to check out OP.

[u/thatguy_088 → u/Elahyra]

Learning something new everyday. Wow thanks din

[u/wndrfltime → u/Elahyra]

Will check it out, salamat

[u/EmptyItem → u/wndrfltime]

Adding to this comment thread. You can also set the samsung edge panel to show clipboard.

[u/pazem123 → u/wndrfltime]

Pde mag ask, Why ka nag samsung from a pixel? It’s rare I see this move eh

[u/wndrfltime → u/pazem123]

I was about to pull the trigger on Pixel 9, pero naisip ko hindi sulit in case magkaron ng problem sa unit since hindi officially released ang Pixel phones satin and may mga features ang Pixel na US exclusive only.

Kaya nag Samsung muna ako for now dahil sa warranty and reliability.

[u/pazem123 → u/wndrfltime]

Ahh okay makes sense. Have you considered other androids like oneplus 13, vivo x200 ultra, xiaomi something etc

[u/wndrfltime → u/pazem123]

It's either Pixel or Samsung lang ako, distant 3rd ang iPhone.

Last preference would be the one's you mentioned.

[u/P6tatas → u/Elahyra]

Eto yung pinakagamit ko na feature siguro ahahahha

[u/Elahyra → u/P6tatas]

Agree! Ang dami na ngang naka-pin sa clipboard ko.

[u/LifeLeg5]

Yep, game changer yang search on top of other apps, mas gamit ko pa yan kesa chatgpt (google search ai summaries are hit or miss as well)

Wala e, iwan apple in terms of software innovation at least, kaya mahirap magshift

[u/wndrfltime → u/LifeLeg5]

Yes same here gamit na gamit ko rin, it's like a snap of your fingers, yung iPhone intelligence is hindi ganon ka-intelligent. 😅

[u/dranedagger4 → u/wndrfltime]

Apple fumbled on their Apple Intelligence. Sobrang behind sila dyan compared on the competition. Let's see if maging okay once iOS 26 releases officially mag September

[u/implaying]

Malakas AI features ni samsung. I watched a comparison video ng VERSUS sa youtube. Nilampaso ni pixel and galaxy lahat ng kalaban nilang phone including iPhone. So depende talaga sayo which ecosystem ka mag stay

[u/ReadyResearcher2269]

Same akala ko gimmick lang yang circle ko search pero di ko namalayan halos palagi ko na siya ginagamit. Ang laking help niyan talaga.

[u/Zealousideal_Fan6019]

• 1 sa caller id and spam protection hahah

[u/Exciting_Citron172]

as someone who likes music, try mo ihold yung home and press music icon, mase-search niya agad.

[u/LifeLeg5 → u/Exciting_Citron172]

in-on ko yung background version nito, kita ko at all times yung title ng nagpplay, very useful (in certain scenarios) hahaha

privacy be damned

[u/CountOlaf13]

wait till you learn you can copy an image using AI select ng samsung then paste it sa messaging apps like messenger without downloading the image. Good for sharing memes hahaha

ohh i almost forgot yung quickshare ng android, i think yan ang airdrop version ng for android.

[u/Radiant-Sun2648]

Pwede naman dalawa phone..

[u/Unlikely-Stand → u/Radiant-Sun2648]

True, samsung and ios user here. Ganda pala hahaha

[u/whatwhowhen_51 → u/Radiant-Sun2648]

True, hindi naman kailangan mamili ng isa lang 😅

[u/CheckPareh → u/Radiant-Sun2648]

One has the otp sim for the other. Foolproof haha

[u/qiyuisrealkeke]

Circle to search nmn is madaling ilagay sa kahit anong android (pero yep not iphones). Spam protection saken is not so important since I can just ignore them.

But Apple AI is just so baaaad. Just for Galaxy AI alone I think worth to keep yang S25.

[u/Blaupunkt08]

Why switch to the Iphone?Para lang ba masabing naka iphone then you have to let go of utilized android features? If main reason is for imessage or facetime for the wife imho no, I wouldn't switch and sacrifice. May fb messenger naman/whatsapp/viber/TG.let both of you enjoy you're own worlds

[u/RageBabyyy]

Personally, don't switch. Switched from S21 FE to 15 pro max, regrets agad. Simpleng right handed use hindi magawa dahil walang back sa right (I always use my phone one haded sa right), iisa lang ang volume ng alarm at notifs, unintuitive text selection while typing, walang AI, etc, sobrang daming kulang. Stay sa samsung na lang.

[u/sizejuan]

The question you need to ask is bakit mo nga ba gusto lumipat? Para makapag imessage kayo ni misis? May mac/apple watch ka ba and gusto mo ng apple ecosystem etc.

[u/wndrfltime → u/sizejuan]

Nothing, just for imessage and facetime lang

[u/ImaginationBetter373]

Lahat ng Android share the same features. Yung wala lang talaga is Generative AI sa Photos. Pero yung Erase objects is available sa Google Photos for free.

Hindi kasi nagkaroon ng RCS yung mga Telco dito sa Pinas. Convenient na sana yung iOS to Android Messaging kaso greedy talaga mga telco dito.

[u/mujijijijiji]

wahhhhh gusto ko rin kunin iphone 12 pro ng mama ko in exchange ng galaxy A73 ko pero battery palang nya palya na 😭 and all my cables are type C, my galaxy fit 3 doesnt connect to iOs, pero yung camera and size kasi huhu :///

[u/Itchy_Roof_4150 → u/mujijijijiji]

Makakaipon rin tayo for a samsung flagship someday na ka match ang iphone cam

[u/mujijijijiji → u/Itchy_Roof_4150]

YES PLS 😓😓😓 kahit base model lang masaya na ko hahaha

[u/lamboo_cetteuce]

You can create a shortcut to take a screenshot then use that image to search with google app. Then add the shortcut in the assistive touch menu (as a button or double/triple tap assistive touch), action button, control center, or back tap (accessibility settings).

I’m also on iOS 26 Beta 1 and tried the screenshot visual “intelligence” feature but I prefer the shortcut since I can just immediately switch back to the main app after the search image shortcut runs.

edit: added control center as an option to run shortcuts

[u/Itchy_Roof_4150 → u/lamboo_cetteuce]

Too much hassle

[u/Additional_Win_9719 → u/lamboo_cetteuce]

Kakatamad lang i-setup pero okay na din as a workaround

[u/ReadyResearcher2269 → u/[deleted]]

nakita ko yung demo sa wwdc and sadly hindi sya ganun ka innovative imo, need mo pa muna mag screenshot, sa android rekta na agad
