Every single Samsung product I've had to use is actively user hostile. Like a petty kind of hostile.
I've also not been terribly impressed by the UX changes Samsung has made recently, lots of questionable decisions there.
What other decent options are out there?
So no decent options for out-of-box experience.
But it's not. It's petty and abusive. For example, you can't see (I think it was) heart rate if you have a Samsung smart watch, but don't have a Samsung phone. They've gone out of their way to just not provide that, if you instead have a Pixel phone. And you need like 5 gigantic apps installed to manage it. Why is it not just one single Samsung wear app? Because they are abusive.
Personally have no reason to consider anything but an iPhone, even if it has to be used.
Denial of service doesn't sound so bad... Does a reboot of the device solve it?
But I mean, why do we only have two choices of OS for phones (I did not include GrapheneOS because it not easily available for the normie)? That is what is ridiculous. And why, in the US, do I only get three choices of flagship phones when in Asia they have like twenty? I hate this third world country I am living in.
