Interesting… I switched away from Samsung and actually hated stock Android!

• I actually preferred One UI to the standard pixel, mainly because Google ruined the quick settings - they made each button unnecessarily big, and turning on/off the wifi requires two taps instead of one now (Internet > Wifi). That’s something I can’t change without rooting.
• Some Samsung stock apps are actually a great alternative to the android ones (I use Samsung Notes a ton). The only downside is they force you to download it through their own app store.
• Samsung doesn’t really have much bloat now, and the few pieces of bloat i found could be uninstalled
• Samsung is still the only phone manufacturer with triple camera setups in a small flagship phone

Don’t get me wrong, it’s not perfect, but the issues I had with Samsung were solvable (e.g. uninstalling bloat is a one-time thing) while the annoyances I’ve had with a Pixel aren’t solvable (quick settings, no third camera).

Some people are worried that it may feel sexual.

I… did not know this was a concern? lol
