This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
2 months ago I bought a regular samsung galaxy s23 and it's been running great so far. I expected MIUI levels of bloat, but surprisingly it is not that bad.
I had to disable a few samsung apps and for the most part, the phone stays out of my way and lets me do whatever i want.
I wish the s23 lineup gets good custom rom support. Would love to run a lean LineageOS / any AOSP based rom with MicroG on this phone.
If you can't uninstall the bloatware, just disable it in settings. I have been doing that and works perfectly fine. And then I put all the bloatware into a single folder in the launcher and voila, it's a clean experience. Stock android is the best, the next best thing is OneUI in my experience.
I’m 50, and I switched to an iPhone SE 2020 2 years ago, I’m never going back. It cost me 119$ and it’s worth every penny.
Would be interesting to see this lined up to other countries (US in particular)
The majority of youngsters will always pick a fashion brand (apple). However, the majority of them cannot afford it.
I want to go back in time where flip phones and small screens were a thing.
Had Samsungs for 10 years watching them slowly get worse and worse. Switched to a Pixel last year and couldn't be happier.
Have alos been using Samsung phones for a while now, but my next one will not be a Samsung unless a miracle happens.
I love iPhone, their shit security gave us The Fappening
Anyone with common sense prefers iPhone over stock rom Samsung.
Samsung's software is bloated with preinstalled crap. The software is not optimized, so even new the phones have major stutters frequently.
And don't get me started on the OTA updates. Those take a year to complete.
I love android because I can use FOSS software and I have more freedom when using it. But if I had to choose between a Galaxy and an iPhone, I'd pick the latter.
