Every time I’ve had someone say that all the bloat and slowness issues on Samsung have been solved, it hasn’t been the case. Maybe that’s finally, finally the actual case. But I’m a little skeptical of the claim as it’s been bunk in the past.
This isn’t a Samsung exclusive thing, but the unremovable disabled apps always bug me. Why does the app have to stay? What is it doing while it is “disabled”? I think it has to be doing something otherwise they’d let me delete it. I’m too cynical too believe it’s not doing something.
And I’m not sure if this is also still the case, but the Samsung UI was a royal pain to remove/replace without rooting the device. Like if I wanted to use Nova it wouldn’t work right without rooting. Is that still the case?
I like that my Nokia had none of these issues from the start and while I started on android 10, I’m on 12 now with the latest security update. If they’d make a good successor to the 8.3 5g I’d stick with them but they are shifting focus to mid low range so they don’t have a solid mid-high end right now.
I got a different launcher the day I got the phone. Samsung ui has a decent amount of customization available now too and the routines page in settings is basically a root level iftt which can be very helpful. The UI is slightly ugly (notification shade) but other than that it’s been pretty great. I hate to be a Samsung shill but honestly it’s a solid phone these days.
