I have been using Samsung phone/earbuds/watch for a while now and I think the software experience is quite good (coming from Oxygen OS on OnePlus 6 (great) and having used Apple devices (stifling) in the past ). Their heavy handed UI/UX are things of past - One UI 4 has plenty of customization/useful features while being reasonably light (e.g. it has a feature that lets you force dark mode on apps that don't support it which is surprisingly handy). In terms of integration (which Apple is famed for), everything works seamlessly: when I take out the earbuds, the audio automatically routes to them, the watch syncs automatically with the phone with pretty decent exercise/fitness tracking out of the box, the app selection for the watch has improved due to them using Wear OS etc. Sure, there are some Samsung apps I don't care to use but that is not getting in my way. Their privacy record is a weak point indeed and it is unfortunate that we don't have any competitor in Android space that has the same or better level of polish while keeping privacy a priority.
