> Do people actually like all those Samsung annoyances?
Switched to a Samsung A71 after having an Apple 7+. Gave my 7+ to my daughter who previously had a 6+.
I'm about six months in and I'm going back to Apple or OnePlus. My iphone had a few quirks that I could deal with. Nothing major. The A71? OMFG every single day I'm dealing with constant issues with the phone:
- finger print scanner is the worst I've ever had bar none.
- All the Samsung apps continually turn on and fight with the Google apps for preference, even after I've turned them off
- The Samsung apps constantly run and drain my battery. A brand new phone, with a non-power user and it can't make a full day on a full charge? Unreal.
- I had to turn off all the notifications. It seemed like every 5 minutes a new system notification would pop up. Like: "Your wifi is unprotected! Use Samsung VPN to protect it!" Even when I'm already running a VPN??
There's a ton more that happen less frequently, but dealing with these every day has soured me completely to Samsung products. I had a OnePlus before my iPhone and loved it. Stock Android, no frills, battery lasted forever, no bloatware.
I just can't use Samsung phones ever again - no matter how good their marketing is.
