I love both devices for different things, I don’t want them smushed together.
I think they are pretty cool.
Haven’t seen many, though.
I’ve only seen one Samsung.
Samsung makes nice hardware, but their bloatware is infuriating. I spend a lot of time on every new device, using ADB to purge as many samsung apps as I can. I'm getting tired of doing it.
Once I can't sideload anymore on android, my next phone will be an iphone.
By the way, outside of core phone features like Phone (dialer,) Settings, Camera, etc. you can disable or uninstall everything else without sideloading anything.
And for those who do, Apple has been blocking sideloading for years.
The actual solution is to buy a phone that supports GrapheneOS. No bloatware, install what you want, and get top class security and privacy too.
Only thing (software wise) which has really been showed down my throat is Bixby and Gemini. No I don't want your stupid AI, get deleted. Other than that, I can't complain about anything.
I mean there's only Samsung and LG in the display space basically, one of them will solve it but...not quite yet.
It costs 2000 dollars and folds in half. So what? What's the difference?
