As a first time Samsung owner with an S9, I can't comment on 'less intrusive', but it is definitely frustrating.
Multiple apps called "messages" and "contacts", not super easy to tell which is stock android and which is samsungs? Bixby always gets in the way, where did this "SmartThings" app come from which is ALWAY in the system tray and difficult to disable and can't be removed.
I won't be buying another Samsung device, I'm not sure how they got the reputation they have.
- paulie_a 8y agoIt's crapware plain and simple. Samsung insists on installing, then not supporting any of their stuff with updates. Google needs to step up and prevent it by allowing every app to be uninstalled and deliver Android updates themselves. But in the mean time if you buy a phone, basically expect it never to get upgraded in any meaningful way.
