    whilst making my morning coffee I
  • 00:00:03
    wondered what life would be like living
  • 00:00:05
    with a 7-year-old iPhone 10s I sold my
  • 00:00:10
    iPhone 15 Pro and bought this
  • 00:00:13
    10s it was good so good I kept using it
  • 00:00:18
    for the last 3 months then as I was
  • 00:00:21
    tying my fat baby's hair I wondered what
  • 00:00:25
    life would be like living with a
  • 00:00:27
    7-year-old Galaxy S 10 so I picked one
  • 00:00:31
    up to scratch my curiosity I'm going to
  • 00:00:34
    live with these phones for a week edit
  • 00:00:37
    photos on Lightroom play PS4 level games
  • 00:00:40
    on it social media on it Hotspot with it
  • 00:00:43
    and treat it like it was made in
  • 00:00:47
    2025 my experience with this iPhone XS
  • 00:00:50
    was so good I'm like why do I not feel
  • 00:00:54
    the downgrade from the iPhone 15 Pro
  • 00:00:57
    apart from the 60 HZ of course so I'm
  • 00:00:59
    like you know what let's downgrade even
  • 00:01:01
    further and I daed this iPhone SE let's
  • 00:01:05
    see if I can actually feel the downgrade
  • 00:01:08
    and I did so I only used it for a week
  • 00:01:11
    if the iPhone XS was Peak iPhone the
  • 00:01:15
    Samsung equivalent would be the Galaxy
  • 00:01:18
    S10 which was only released 5 months
  • 00:01:21
    after the 10s now if you haven't noticed
  • 00:01:23
    these watches are like five times the
  • 00:01:27
    price of these today let's go over the
  • 00:01:30
    design and build quality starting with
  • 00:01:32
    the iPhone XS this is absolutely
  • 00:01:35
    beautiful to look at even today it's
  • 00:01:37
    made out of polished stainless steel and
  • 00:01:40
    the phone just curves just perfectly
  • 00:01:42
    around your hand which is beautiful the
  • 00:01:45
    S10 is made out of aluminium just by
  • 00:01:48
    just by grabbing them the iPhone does
  • 00:01:50
    feel a bit more expensive and it
  • 00:01:51
    probably is however the S10 had this
  • 00:01:56
    very nice curved screen I know we don't
  • 00:01:59
    like curved screens today but it still
  • 00:02:02
    looks sick hold this and hold this and
  • 00:02:05
    tell me which one you like
  • 00:02:08
    better I like this one because it's
  • 00:02:11
    little bit smaller than this uh this is
  • 00:02:13
    Samsung I like
  • 00:02:15
    Samsung so which phone do I think aged
  • 00:02:19
    better back to front I genuinely think
  • 00:02:22
    the iPhone XS has aged much better
  • 00:02:24
    probably because the iPhones haven't
  • 00:02:26
    changed much honey can I borrow your
  • 00:02:29
    phone for a second I just want to fondle
  • 00:02:31
    it fondle it mhm so this is the iPhone
  • 00:02:35
    16 Pro which is an upgrade from this oh
  • 00:02:38
    I love it it's the same color too but
  • 00:02:40
    straight off the bat the iPhone is much
  • 00:02:42
    heavier now it's much bigger though
  • 00:02:45
    bigger as well on almost all Dimensions
  • 00:02:48
    but far out look at them bezel
  • 00:02:51
    difference that's insane now here so
  • 00:02:55
    that's that's a substantial upgrade look
  • 00:02:56
    at the whole punch it's massive in terms
  • 00:02:59
    of the size nice the s25 actually is
  • 00:03:02
    smaller by the way if you are digging
  • 00:03:05
    these black icons that I personally
  • 00:03:08
    designed we designed this to support our
  • 00:03:10
    mission whether you're rocking an iPhone
  • 00:03:12
    or a Android device I'll leave the link
  • 00:03:14
    in the description it does help us out
  • 00:03:16
    here are some things the iPhone does
  • 00:03:18
    better first the iPhone XS supports the
  • 00:03:22
    latest IOS 18 and it rolled out on the
  • 00:03:26
    same day as the latest iPhones Samsung
  • 00:03:30
    please take note also there's rumor
  • 00:03:33
    floating that this 10s will get ios 19
  • 00:03:37
    as well this is incredible the iPhone
  • 00:03:40
    also has incredible haptics even for
  • 00:03:43
    2025 standards the Samsung has that
  • 00:03:48
    old vibration motor so I turned that off
  • 00:03:52
    immediately and the Galaxy S10 ended
  • 00:03:54
    software support at Android 12 which was
  • 00:03:57
    way back in 2022
  • 00:04:00
    now is Android 12 unusable in 2025 so
  • 00:04:05
    far I haven't had any issues with apps
  • 00:04:07
    so they've all they all seem to work but
  • 00:04:10
    that would be insane if this had one ua7
  • 00:04:12
    and I reckon it would run better too
  • 00:04:13
    although the iPhone might be ahead when
  • 00:04:15
    it comes to software support the Galaxy
  • 00:04:18
    did a few things that was much better
  • 00:04:21
    than the iPhone like for example it has
  • 00:04:23
    a triple lens setup Ultra wide a main
  • 00:04:26
    and a telly
  • 00:04:31
    [Music]
  • 00:04:33
    both have a fairly small sensor so you
  • 00:04:36
    lose the natural bouquet um low light is
  • 00:04:39
    rubbish on both of the phones I'd rather
  • 00:04:41
    have a triple camera setup than this the
  • 00:04:43
    Galaxy also has a always on display the
  • 00:04:46
    S10 was actually the first phone to ship
  • 00:04:48
    with a indisplay ultrasonic fingerprint
  • 00:04:52
    sensor today they're using this same
  • 00:04:54
    technology that these guys were using 7
  • 00:04:56
    years ago and I believe they were the
  • 00:04:57
    first in faite it feels like it's it's
  • 00:04:59
    as fast as it is today like back then
  • 00:05:01
    it's pretty cool oh and one super
  • 00:05:03
    important thing I forgot to mention was
  • 00:05:05
    this thing was the second last Galaxy to
  • 00:05:08
    have Micro SD card support which is
  • 00:05:11
    mental and if you miss the micro SD card
  • 00:05:14
    slot you can thank Apple for teaching
  • 00:05:17
    Samsung how to make more cash because
  • 00:05:19
    they're making more cash after getting
  • 00:05:21
    rid of it another thing that this has is
  • 00:05:24
    USBC this is using the stupid lightning
  • 00:05:26
    Port I just remembered Galaxy S10
  • 00:05:29
    actually has full-blown Dex mode yo yo
  • 00:05:33
    my friend over at Tech with Benefits
  • 00:05:35
    sent me a file over WhatsApp not dodgy
  • 00:05:37
    at all and he said can you try install
  • 00:05:39
    this on your Mac and let me know if it
  • 00:05:41
    works the file was called Samsung Dex
  • 00:05:44
    for Mac so I just plugged my Galaxy S10
  • 00:05:49
    in open the app and look at this I've
  • 00:05:53
    got Samsung Dex completely on one of my
  • 00:05:55
    monitors so I can move this wherever I
  • 00:05:57
    want and use my Mac keyboard and just
  • 00:06:01
    type in what let's type in X open up X
  • 00:06:05
    this is Samsung Dex running on my Mac
  • 00:06:09
    it's freaking working mate that's insane
  • 00:06:13
    you can't even connect your iPhone like
  • 00:06:14
    this no right like you're creating a
  • 00:06:17
    desktop environment on your MacBook and
  • 00:06:19
    then obviously having the opportunity to
  • 00:06:21
    edit on a more powerful machine that's
  • 00:06:24
    that's my whole wrestling point about
  • 00:06:25
    whether I get a Mac or not I've given up
  • 00:06:27
    trying to get my wife on Android I've
  • 00:06:28
    actually given up she won my next Target
  • 00:06:31
    is Daniel I got to get him on the
  • 00:06:33
    Mac yeah I'm probably easier Target to
  • 00:06:36
    be fair see drops out I can just drag
  • 00:06:40
    that check it out bring it down here
  • 00:06:42
    drop it
  • 00:06:45
    boom how cool is that all right let's
  • 00:06:49
    get on the topic of battery batteries
  • 00:06:52
    batteries batteries I used both of these
  • 00:06:54
    phones for like one or two days and the
  • 00:06:57
    battery was so bad like so bad by the
  • 00:07:01
    time I get out of the toilet in the
  • 00:07:02
    morning it's like 50% it was really bad
  • 00:07:05
    so what I did was I actually got the
  • 00:07:06
    battery replaced pretty much on day
  • 00:07:09
    three of purchasing these phones how
  • 00:07:11
    much would a battery replacement for
  • 00:07:12
    like a S10 be 60 bucks 80 bucks 60 bucks
  • 00:07:15
    80 bucks so they both have 100% battery
  • 00:07:18
    health there were times where I didn't
  • 00:07:20
    charge them at all until the end of the
  • 00:07:22
    day and there were times where I had to
  • 00:07:23
    charge them at like 2 3 p.m. depending
  • 00:07:26
    on how much I've been using these phones
  • 00:07:27
    now let me show you my new charging
  • 00:07:30
    station that I've got set up check it
  • 00:07:31
    out you probably heard of these guys
  • 00:07:34
    called ug green I bought this myself by

    the way now this thing they've got a 200
  • 00:07:39
    W version but I've got the 100 W version
  • 00:07:42

  • 00:07:43

  • 00:07:45
    cool thing about this charging dog it

  • 00:08:40
    description now how was the battery life
  • 00:08:42
    being yeah it's not as good as the s25
  • 00:08:45
    ultas and the you know the xiaomi 15s
  • 00:08:49
    but it's usable it's not bad this
  • 00:08:52
    morning for example I went out to a cafe
  • 00:08:55
    all right so just going to hang out at a
  • 00:08:59
    Cafe do some work with two of my awesome
  • 00:09:03
    Watchers and my mediocre phones I've got
  • 00:09:07
    my Apple watch on my left hand so my
  • 00:09:11
    iPhone is in the left pocket Galaxy
  • 00:09:13
    watch on the right hand I've got the S10
  • 00:09:17
    in the right pocket what I noticed was
  • 00:09:18
    whenever I need to take a photo or
  • 00:09:20
    something like that I'll I'll reach out
  • 00:09:21
    for my um S10 but whenever I need to do
  • 00:09:24
    social media and stuff like that I'll
  • 00:09:26
    reach out for my 10s so just based on
  • 00:09:28
    whatever we need
  • 00:09:29
    [Music]
  • 00:09:31
    this and of course whenever I'm paying I
  • 00:09:34
    will always use this man having good H
  • 00:09:37
    dicks on a phone actually makes a
  • 00:09:39
    difference when it comes to perception
  • 00:09:41
    and this has much better much better H
  • 00:09:43
    dicks and it's to the point where I
  • 00:09:44
    turned this one
  • 00:09:45
    [Music]
  • 00:09:46
    off all right so I've been um
  • 00:09:50
    hotspotting with my iPhone XS because
  • 00:09:53
    you know it's got the instant tether
  • 00:09:54
    button so I just tethered with that
  • 00:09:56
    surprisingly I didn't use that much I've
  • 00:09:58
    only used
  • 00:09:59
    4% in an
  • 00:10:02
    hour that's actually not bad I'm going
  • 00:10:04
    to turn on hotspot on my S10 and see see
  • 00:10:07
    what that does the phone's not warm at
  • 00:10:09
    all turning hotspot on on the Galaxy on
  • 00:10:13
    any Android is so easy you just pull
  • 00:10:15
    down and see this button right here
  • 00:10:18
    that's it hot spots on pretty cool we're
  • 00:10:21
    at 83% let's what let's see what happens
  • 00:10:23
    in half
  • 00:10:26
    now so I was on hot spot for watch 25
  • 00:10:30
    minutes almost 30 and we used only
  • 00:10:33
    3% that's not bad this ganger
  • 00:10:36
    setup with my MacBook it's all working
  • 00:10:39
    you see I had a Hotpot running and the
  • 00:10:41
    phones were fine I thought they would be
  • 00:10:43
    just flat out dead by the by the end of
  • 00:10:44
    the hour but it was fine which is pretty
  • 00:10:47
    cool I actually forgot to charge these
  • 00:10:49
    guys in the morning this had 2% this had
  • 00:10:51
    like I don't know 10% or something like
  • 00:10:53
    that the S10 has stabilized at about 10
  • 00:10:55
    watts 9 to 10 watts and the iPhone is
  • 00:10:58
    doing a steady charger about 14 WS I ran
  • 00:11:02
    a geekbench test and the iPhone
  • 00:11:04
    absolutely mopped the floor with the
  • 00:11:07
    Galaxy S10 then I tried to play this KX
  • 00:11:11
    Street game wow that's a lot of lag
  • 00:11:15
    which makes the latest iPhones and s25
  • 00:11:18
    Ultra crap its pants by the way this is
  • 00:11:21
    on the absolute highest Graphics as well
  • 00:11:24
    Graphics everything set
  • 00:11:26
    to maximum 29 frames
  • 00:11:31
    that's actually
  • 00:11:33
    playable on the highest Graphics it is
  • 00:11:36
    somewhat refreshing not using the latest
  • 00:11:40
    and greatest I don't know what it is
  • 00:11:43
    mainly it got to do with the form factor
  • 00:11:45
    and how phones used to be more
  • 00:11:46
    comfortable they used to be more they
  • 00:11:48
    used to be smaller the thing is our
  • 00:11:50
    hands aren't getting bigger every year
  • 00:11:52
    but the phones are getting bigger every
  • 00:11:54
    year this yearly upgrade cycle is
  • 00:11:57
    absolutely stupid I think we should do a
  • 00:12:00
    minimum of a 2year upgrade cycle or a
  • 00:12:02
    three-year upgrade cycle I'd rather they
  • 00:12:05
    do a proper
  • 00:12:07
    genuine radical upgrade every 3 years
  • 00:12:10
    then come up with like a flimsy ass
  • 00:12:12
    upgrade every year do you know what I
  • 00:12:13
    mean like a flim flimsy ass like the
  • 00:12:17
    like take a look at this the s24 to the
  • 00:12:19
    s25 flimsy s22 to the s25 now that that
  • 00:12:24
    looks like a bit of an upgrade now the
  • 00:12:26
    reason why these Brands keep pumping out
  • 00:12:29
    flagships every single year is because
  • 00:12:32
    it makes them money people like me keep
  • 00:12:36
    buying their crap yo as I was wrapping
  • 00:12:39
    up this edit it was the first time I
  • 00:12:41
    forgot to charge my phones overnight and
  • 00:12:44
    this was at like 2% put on the charger
  • 00:12:46
    kids were getting ready I don't know 15
  • 00:12:48
    20 minutes I pick up the phone and it's
  • 00:12:50
    only got like 15%
  • 00:12:53
    battery now if it was one of these
  • 00:12:55
    latest phones um like say the xiaomi 15
  • 00:12:59
    this would have had 65% by the time we
  • 00:13:01
    were walking out the door that's a
  • 00:13:03
    really big deal breaker I thought I
  • 00:13:05
    didn't really care but I do especially
  • 00:13:07
    after you experience 90 W charging but
  • 00:13:11
    yeah I just wanted to mention that now
  • 00:13:13
    when my kids get into high school I'm
  • 00:13:15
    actually going to give them this and the
  • 00:13:17
    other kid this but I don't know which
  • 00:13:19
    kid so you know what I'm going to do I'm
  • 00:13:20
    going to let the kids pick their fate
  • 00:13:22
    I'm going to make one kid go down the
  • 00:13:24
    iPhone route and I'm going to make
  • 00:13:25
    another kid go down the Android route
  • 00:13:27
    that's that's going to be cool I don't
  • 00:13:28
    know which one's going to pick
  • 00:13:32
