Just get a mid-range Samsung device and remove the relevant apps and get a custom launcher.
Or get a Fairphone if you can afford it.

what a pile of fuck
Haven't Samsungs always been trash though? From a software perspective, I mean?
I've never owned one, but I've tried to troubleshoot a few for relatives, and always found their version of Android to be just cunty.
They have always had good hardware I think, but their firmware and apps went total shit years ago. I liked their old ones like the S5 and S4 that had notification LEDs and unlockable bootloaders for custom ROMs
Yeah they have, my uncle had a cheaper Samsung and in the sound settings there was a button for samsung sound settings, which had the exact same settings, but they acted differently. Some acted the same and would also change say a slider on the normal menu and some wouldn't.

I'm trying to think of something more fucked up, but I'm struggling, here.
How long until we get self-insert AI porn?
I'd fuck me...
Is there any other brands that make phones with pen support, and doesn't drop support for their phones the moment they come up with a design with a slightly upgraded chip?
Motorola.
After reading this, Samsung likely scrambled after the I/O virtual try on feature announcement last month and whored themselves out to whomever would give them these features.
SamsungOS has always failed to include a libre software license text file. We do not control it, anti-libre software. You asked for this. You let them do it.
Sure explain that to my grammaw
That's your job. Hiding this won't fix it.
My grammaw didnt give a shit
