Good luck with that. Their phones are filled with ads and Samsung’s crappy software that can’t be removed. Apple and Google do the same thing, but their apps are at least good. As good as Samsung’s hardware is, they mess up the package with their hot garbage software.
I do wholeheartedly agree that Samsung writes shit software tho, but their customizations for the last seven years stopped frying my phone. (S2 was okay, S3 was such a dumpster fire of a phone caused by Samsung’s deplorable coding)
I have the impression that OS restrictions imposed by Google on latest versions of Android and - perhaps - the move to Kotlin improved it. I have been using a S10+ and had no issues with software. Crappy software can be removed without root using ADB and, in my region, Samsung does not bundle carrier crap (except stupid Facebook stuff that is still present in S10 and even S24 series)
Yeah I never understood that. Made me stop buying Samsung phones, also because they added a price premium. Turns out that the best Android phones are Motorola phones like the Edge 30. No crapware at all and fantastic battery time.
iPhones are fashion accessories before anything else.
Samsung for some fuckdamn reason just copycats everything Apple does.
The curved glass was a stupid, expensive, and failure prone attempt at capturing the fashion accessory market.
All it did was piss off eight years of customers.
It really is amazing how companies with ridiculous amounts of money for research and product testing and they hang on to an abject failure like this for so long.
Apple isn’t that much of an asshole, it only does all the dick moves it is legally allowed to.
Can’t think of any worse assholes except Google.
Just because they make nice looking hardware, you give them a pass.
Samsung finally ditched the stupid curved glass, so Androidland now has nice hardware too

Yes, curved glass serves no function and introduces a vulnerable point, prone for cracking
And makes it basically impossible to get a glass screen protector.
And makes just holding it normally cause misclicks as the edge of your fingertips brush the curved glass.
Honestly I would be a lot less pissed about it if they just hadn’t extended the touch sensitivity all the way around the curve.
