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.

    Pixels have GrapheneOS, that’s good enough for me.

        Doesn’t affect it at all if you use the Google camera app. You can restrict it’s access to the internet as well if you’re concerned about it sharing.
