    At this point I only buy Smartphones with Android One label (Stock Android without anything changed). Samsung especially is full of bloat.

      Is Android One still a thing? The Samsung bloat was why I moved to pixel devices. Pixels have never had premium hardware but the software was always 🤌

      Bloat is bad enough but Samsung devices now have ad/crap/spyware baked into them and you can’t even disable some of it.

      OP’s bloat is provider branding, not stock Samsung. Samsung phones have the second longest support timeframe after Fairphone (who recently announced 7 years of Android updates). Those “stock Android One” phones typically don’t get Android updates for very long.
