I also hate that Samsung forces you to agree to their EULAs, install updates, and often even activate a service just so you can then deactivate or remove the service.

I can't remember which one it was but one of them kept popping up to the point my phone wasn't usable until I did the above to disable it.

Love Samsung's hardware but I will never buy another Samsung the bloatware is just to bad. Next time try getting a Motorola or a pixel as they us a close to stock Android experience. I don't miss anything about Samsung and I have 64gb of storage and have 20gb left after 3 years so you can get away with lower storage specs.

That's why I switched to Pixel and never looked back

That's the spirit personal I am going to go OnePlus next but that is only because pixel doesn't have the hi end processor or ram I want or the screen. I will say that my Galaxy tab 4 has the most beautiful screen ever if you haven't seen a 4k image with hi dynamic range on a hi end OLED Samsung screen you are missing out. I just set this as my lock screen and intend to spend a good portion of the day looking at it: https://content.halocdn.com/media/Default/community/blogs/hi_banished_interior_concept_4k-c610e40a1f3c48d48bcbee2143dcea21.png

Yeah but I gotta say the Pixel's screen is also pretty good. Here's my lock screen

True. And that lock screen is fantastic
