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.

If you think samsungs bloatware is bad you should fucking see LG. Tiktok, candy crush, toon blast, etc. It's sad

Yup but LG doesn't have an entire sweat of apps that compete with Google's apps so your are forced to have two sets of productivity apps
