  Is that before or after you remove all the extra crap that Samsung shovel on it?

    2015 called, they want their talking points back.

    Seriously though, Samsung has a sleeker Android than even Google in 2023. You have to get an AOSP or similar os on a device to beat it. It’s been a long road, but the One UI is just better.

      How many duplicated apps are installed on modern Samsung’s?

      How many browsers? How many app stores? How many games?

        Here’s all the Samsung stuff on my Galaxy Fold 4, two of which aren’t ones that it came with: Image

        It’s really not a problem nor that bad. I chucked them into a folder and have only touched them to use the files app or manage Good Lock.

        To be completely honest I have went and installed couple of Samsung replacement apps even though they were not on my device by default. Samsung’s email application is simply miles better than GMail, and more to the point doesn’t suffer from known issue like not downloading attachments. Same with notes and similar. Especially on Fold where screen is significantly bigger, default Google stuff simply can’t handle it. It looks stretched while Samsung offers better experience.

        That said very few duplicates and those that you don’t need you can uninstall. It’s not that big of a deal.

      Aside from the launcher, they don’t change bits and pieces in the lover levels anymore (Knox & co.)? Don’t have to every google map a Samsung-equivalent, running from boot in background, anymore?

    Samsung A series is almost unbeatable value no matter how you look at it.

      Disagree, work gave me an A21s. At least once a day I’ll be staring at a blank screen for 30 seconds before it shows me the buttons to answer a call but by then the caller has hung up. Also randomly it will turn the screen brightness down so low that you can’t see to turn it up.

      Heaven knows how awful the A0 and A1 series are!

        Turn off adaptive brightness. I agree A0x series is utter shit but the A1x (particularly the A13 5G) is a very good low-end phone

      I’d say you get better value and a cleaner experience with the lenovomotos.

    My over two year old a52 is buttery smooth still I don’t see the need for a switch until 2 more years. There’s a bit of junk on it but doesn’t really affect anything since I never use it, it’s all just sitting quietly in a folder.

    It has honestly made me question the purpose of expensive and fragile flagship phones that I’ve been using the last decade.

    The A series is an absurd value.
