If I had known then what I know now I would not have gotten a Samsung phone. It’s what I’m stuck with though because it works fine and I don’t see the point in buying a new phone until this one dies.
Agreed. As I’m looking for an affordable small tablet right now, there are lots of cheap options, but the dozens of third-party apps and bloat included by default, plus the fact that phones on the A lineup could easily slow down a ton is what is keeping me from considering them.
I remember my dad getting a galaxy tablet probably 10 years ago and it was so sluggish, and had literally the worst camera I have ever seen.
OK, I’m about to get lynched, but here goes:
I’ve never liked Samsung smartphones.
One, because I was poor, and the low end phones were dog slow with the bloated UI.
Two, because I never liked the bloated UI when I could afford a mid-tier phone.
Three, because I still never liked the bloated UI when I could afford their high end phones.
I’m not saying they’re shit, or garbage, or insulting people who like them. I just don’t.
You won’t get downvoted to hell. Custom roms are popular on the federnet. Most of us avoid Samsung.
I think they’re fine phones, just locked down and their UI is annoying.

You and I both fell into that trap because no one else seems to care and the fanboys will even deny the bloatware exists.
I’m still shocked that Bixby is so terrible. I only use it to set timers when I’m baking and it can’t even do that 50% of the time.
I’m not shocked, they’re all terrible. The only thing that shocks me is that they keep trying year after year.
