I’ve preferred Pixel phones for the last few years but I’ve heard that Pixel 6/7 had 5G connection problems (Pixel 8 apparently has a better modem, but I think I’d rather stick to a Qualcomm design for now).
So onto looking for my next phone.
I haven’t considered a Samsung smartphone in years because I hated their TouchWiz stuff. But apparently they got rid of that like 8 years ago and have had multiple versions of updates. Can anyone comment on how good “One UI” is compared to stock Android? How much bloatware does it feel like? And what kind of customizations did Samsung do to the UI exactly?
I’m also looking at Asus Zenfone 11, but I figure the “mainstream” choice today is Samsung, so I’ll also have to seriously consider Samsung phones.
Hated TouchWiz, love One UI. I just wish I could uninstall Google and Facebook bloat.
@Melonpoly You can use ADB for that, there’s even a GUI for that called Universal Android Debloater
You can uninstall with Canta and Shizuku, both on the F-Droid store.
If you have android 11+ (which has support for wireless debug), this is the best way.
Tutorial for the uninitiated. Looks complicated at first but after you’ve done it once you’ll breeze through it from that time on
