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.
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 🤌
Xiaomi managed to kill Android One
Bloat is bad enough but Samsung devices now have ad/crap/spyware baked into them and you can’t even disable some of it.
I switch between the pixel and the one plus
Same here bud. I am tired of smartphone UI’s having tons of bloatware and all that shit.
