    OK, I’m about to get lynched, but here goes:

    I’ve never liked Samsung smartphones.

    One, because I was poor, and the low end phones were dog slow with the bloated UI.

    Two, because I never liked the bloated UI when I could afford a mid-tier phone.

    Three, because I still never liked the bloated UI when I could afford their high end phones.

    I’m not saying they’re shit, or garbage, or insulting people who like them. I just don’t.

      You won’t get downvoted to hell. Custom roms are popular on the federnet. Most of us avoid Samsung.

      I think they’re fine phones, just locked down and their UI is annoying.

        If I had known then what I know now I would not have gotten a Samsung phone. It’s what I’m stuck with though because it works fine and I don’t see the point in buying a new phone until this one dies.

      Agreed. As I’m looking for an affordable small tablet right now, there are lots of cheap options, but the dozens of third-party apps and bloat included by default, plus the fact that phones on the A lineup could easily slow down a ton is what is keeping me from considering them.

      I remember my dad getting a galaxy tablet probably 10 years ago and it was so sluggish, and had literally the worst camera I have ever seen.
