Apple vs Samsung Brand Preference & Switching Survey
Compares how current Apple and Samsung owners rate each brand on camera, battery, software, design, and value, then uses a best-worst trade-off and point allocation to surface what actually drives purchase decisions. An AI follow-up interview digs into the real trigger behind brand loyalty or a planned switch. Built for mobile brand and product teams.

How likely are you to switch brands (from Apple to Samsung, or Samsung to Apple) for your next phone?
Overall, how satisfied are you with your current smartphone?
Probe the reasoning behind the respondent's switching likelihood and their attribute ratings of Apple versus Samsung. If they rated one brand higher on a specific attribute (camera, battery, software, ecosystem), ask for a concrete recent moment that shaped that view. If they said they're likely to switch, find out the specific trigger (a bad experience, a friend's device, a price point, a new feature) and what would need to be true for them to actually follow through. If they say they're very unlikely to switch, probe whether that's genuine preference or just switching cost and inertia.

How it compares
We reviewed the closest templates from other survey tools. Here’s what they do well — and where this template goes further.
Why this template
- Includes a matrix rating Apple and Samsung head-to-head on camera, battery, software, design, and value, so comparisons are apples-to-apples across both brands
- Uses a best-worst (max-diff) exercise plus a 100-point constant-sum allocation to surface which factors actually drive purchase decisions, not just stated importance
- Pairs an opinion-scale switching-likelihood question and satisfaction rating with an AI follow-up interview that probes the real reasoning behind loyalty or a planned switch
- Closes with an automated report that ties quantitative brand ratings to the qualitative 'why' behind switching intent
QuestionPro
Apple Vs Samsung Survey Questions + Sample Questionnaire TemplateThis page is directly on-topic, offering sample Apple vs Samsung survey questions, but the title suggests it functions more as a question-bank/guide than a ready-to-field interactive survey. It's useful for question ideas but likely requires manual assembly into QuestionPro's own survey builder. No mention of adaptive follow-up or trade-off exercises like max-diff or constant-sum allocation.
What it does well
- Directly focused on the Apple vs Samsung comparison topic
- Backed by QuestionPro's established survey platform and distribution tools
- Provides sample question wording researchers can reference or adapt
Where it falls short
- Reads as a static question list/guide rather than a fielding-ready adaptive survey
- No adaptive AI follow-up interview to dig into individual switching triggers
- No indication of automated per-response quality scoring or transparent prompt methodology
Jotform
Mobile Phone Survey Form TemplateA ready-to-use, customizable form template for general mobile phone/Samsung-related feedback, built on Jotform's drag-and-drop form builder. It's practical for quick fielding but is a generic mobile survey rather than a structured Apple-vs-Samsung comparative and switching-behavior instrument. No trade-off methodology like best-worst scaling or point allocation is evident.
What it does well
- Easy to customize and deploy quickly via Jotform's form builder
- Mobile-friendly form format suited for phone-related feedback
- Free-tier accessibility typical of Jotform templates
Where it falls short
- Static question form with no adaptive AI probing into individual responses
- No built-in brand trade-off methodology (e.g., best-worst or point allocation)
- No automated quality scoring or AI-generated comparative report
SurveySparrow
Consumer Brand Preference Questionnaire TemplateA general-purpose brand preference questionnaire aimed at understanding advertisement effects, not specifically built around the Apple/Samsung comparison. It's a legitimate fielding-ready template but would need substantial customization to match a two-brand smartphone attribute comparison and switching-intent study. No evidence of adaptive interviewing or conjoint-style trade-off questions.
What it does well
- Fielding-ready template usable directly in SurveySparrow's platform
- Conversational survey format that may improve completion rates
- Applicable broadly across brand-preference research beyond phones
Where it falls short
- Generic brand-preference focus, not tailored to Apple vs Samsung or smartphone attributes specifically
- No adaptive AI follow-up interview or voice AI interview option
- Lacks trade-off tools like best-worst scaling or point allocation to isolate purchase drivers
