    Samsung and bloat are synonymous, they just can’t help it but to ruin good hardware.

      don’t forget the spyware that they embed in all their smartphones

        I guess the thing that I really like about Samsung is their dex mode. I’d love to have a phone/desktop combo.

        If pixel ever did that, I’d pick one up pretty quickly.

        Or even iPhone, I just don’t want to need a computer and phone when the phone is more than powerful enough for my usage.

          I totally agree with you, unfortunately my Pixel device with GrapheneOS doesn’t have anything similar to Dex mode :(

            I honestly think the market is waiting on Apple to do it.

            I think they have been reluctant to have a full desktop mode as most users will not understand why they need the App Store on a “desktop”.

            Now that side loading is being forced on them, I hope they bring this to the phones which will kickstart phones as computers.

            Anyway, my iPhone 15 will be the last phone I have that doesn’t have a desktop mode. I’ll hold out for a long time.
