    TL;DR Don’t bother. The only reason to stick with Samsung was the smart stylus and they killed it in favor of bad AI.

    Personally I’m now thinking Pixel plus GrapheneOS after a decade of Samsung loyalty due to the stylus.

      First they took the swappable battery, then the IR emmiter, then the magnetic card swipe, then the SD card, then the headphone jack, then added Bixby… They have zero value proposition anymore. Everything else I do is on apple hardware, and so will be my next phone.

        Definitely understand. I’m not in the Apple environment other than my SO who has a Mac and an iPhone.

      Pixel plus GrapheneOS

      This is the current gold standard.

      What do you use the stylus for? I’m on the s24 ultra and I didn’t think I’ve ever touched it

    So the S23 was the final phone with all features upgraded from the previous phone, whereas this one removes features in favor of AI bullshit

      I would argue the S24U’s flat screen was a massive upgrade. Curved screens are such a headache
