    people used pixels and nexus phones largely because the other oems were terrible at the time and riddled with carrier bloatware but that’s not really the case anymore. especially once samsung did away with touchwiz and went to the modern oneui.

      Samsung still is terrible. You can’t disable their store or utilities. They always pop right back up and start themselves. One might argue that’s hardly a problem when phones have 6GB+ of Ram now and better battery optimization, but on budget phones that some people get “free” from carriers, it makes them lag-ridden slogs to use.
