MODERATORS
It's a lot better now. I have an original Galaxy S and moving from it to a Nexus was a breath of fresh air. I was never I to the Samsung bloat.
However, the Pixel line has been stagnating and Samsung had been working hard to add little quality of life features that honestly Android should have had a long time ago. The bloat is way less and a lot can be uninstalled. With a custom launcher on it it's actually better than my Pixels (IMO).
Google is just not interested in making Android more usable or real features. They want more AI and assistant nonsense. Dex is just something that Android should have had years ago, so it's good that they're starting but they're way behind.
People tell me this all the time but every one I've ever seen is full of Samsung bloatware. Then they want to argue with me that it isn't bloatware. Anything that isn't essential to the core OS and can't be removed is bloatware, in my eyes.
It’s not better it’s still full of bloat I don’t know what these people are talking about
Thank you for confirming.
