Samsung is the perfect example (and failure?) that advertising and lobbying works. They have the worst product I've ever tried and always come with an annoying catch (ie: computer screen with special adapter). But they are huge (and growing). They advertise aggressively and they integrate themselves with local suppliers like nobody else.

Worse product? What other android phones do you mean? Sony? I used to buy Sony long time ago and I did like it, but around the time of Galaxy S8 I switched when my Xperia 3 unglued by itself in my pocket. None of my Samsung phones experienced any such failures. All were cheaper than equivalent Sony products. And I wasn't very gentle with them. All my phones have huge gauges in their metal casings after years of use and I replaced them only after I broke the screen after few years. Also, I've been using the hardware to it's limit with gaming, GearVR and own apps (running RealESRGAN directly on a Samsung s8 for example). So hardware wise I'm very happy with Samsung(except part availability). Software - wise the preloaded apps are not bad. I've never used Bixby, but I do use the gallery and the video editor all the time(including slomo and super slomo) . Whenever I use a different android phone I miss these and more feature. Also I have lots of sideloaded apps from the net and others such as a full blown Linux OS app running real python scripts etc.Once upon a time I tried apple. All the limitations made me dislike it a lot. So what else is there better than samsung in android? Google? I never tried their phones because of the prices.

  Worse than iPhone and Pixel I guess. Yeah they cost more, but it's like a Honda vs a Hyundai, you get what you pay for.

Rocking Galaxy S20 for last 4 years. Once lens fogged up after a beach trip. The device was out of warranty. Service center swapped the back plate with a new one for equivalent of ~$10.

There are a lot of valid cricotisms, but claiming Samsung products are 'the worse' is just.... To much.
