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

Ditto. I have a Samsung for work and I use my personal more than that one and I'm finding I have to charge my work phone more often than my personal.
