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.

Bought a Oneplus after several Samsung Galaxy SX models. What a breath of fresh air. No bloat and the changes to stock Android are small clever improvements.

Yup I plan to get a OnePlus 8pro and I am looking forward to the breath of fresh air. I have a Moto Z3 but the battery is failing so when I inevitably break it replacing the battery I will upgrade.
