I’ve preferred Pixel phones for the last few years but I’ve heard that Pixel 6/7 had 5G connection problems (Pixel 8 apparently has a better modem, but I think I’d rather stick to a Qualcomm design for now).

So onto looking for my next phone.

I haven’t considered a Samsung smartphone in years because I hated their TouchWiz stuff. But apparently they got rid of that like 8 years ago and have had multiple versions of updates. Can anyone comment on how good “One UI” is compared to stock Android? How much bloatware does it feel like? And what kind of customizations did Samsung do to the UI exactly?

I’m also looking at Asus Zenfone 11, but I figure the “mainstream” choice today is Samsung, so I’ll also have to seriously consider Samsung phones.

    I am missing good lock features going from a Samsung to a more google oriented phone, also the clock\alarm settings are so annoying, only allowed to touch either volume buttons or specific portion of the phone to snooze or stop an alarm. Samsung I could whip my hand at my phone and hit any portion and it knew what I wanted
