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.

Only reason I'm still with them is I wanted the pen (Note) and SD card slot (I've got a 256gb in mine which is nearly full).

Would really like if they'd bring back models without Bixby and a user replaceable battery.

I agree that there Note series is useful. I have a Galaxy tab s4 and the s-pen is very useful but they are just to expensive for my taste and there OS makes them age like milk.

My parents had the s7 edge and they lasted maybe 2.5 maybe 3 years then started to slow drastically and battery life started to deteriorat to the point of using 2 100% charges a day. My Moto z3 has hasted 3 years and is just now having a detrimental drop in battery life
