Don't they know how ugly the common people are. I'm not gonna buy something with an ugly guy in the ad. We ain't all plastic surgery Korean like Samsung home base.

I have an ancient Samsung. Its going to die soon. I don't think I can get a pixel here. What are my options, coz I also hate apple?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Just get a mid-range Samsung device and remove the relevant apps and get a custom launcher.

Or get a Fairphone if you can afford it.

So, how much will they pay me to opt in?

Haven't Samsungs always been trash though? From a software perspective, I mean?

I've never owned one, but I've tried to troubleshoot a few for relatives, and always found their version of Android to be just cunty.

They have always had good hardware I think, but their firmware and apps went total shit years ago. I liked their old ones like the S5 and S4 that had notification LEDs and unlockable bootloaders for custom ROMs

Yeah they have, my uncle had a cheaper Samsung and in the sound settings there was a button for samsung sound settings, which had the exact same settings, but they acted differently. Some acted the same and would also change say a slider on the normal menu and some wouldn't.

Never heard of glance. It's an ai shopping tool? I couldn't make sense of it, but I didn't spend much time either.
