In South Korea, 69 percent of adult smartphone users use a Samsung device, while only 23 percent use iPhones, a Gallup survey of 1,001 adults found. But the survey reveals a starkly different trend in one demographic: younger millennials and Gen Z. Among the younger generation, aged 18 to 29, iPhone’s share rises to 65 percent, double the Samsung's 32 percent, the survey found. This represents a 13 percent...

    Agree I have a Samsung phone and hate the damn intrusive Samsung bloatware. I’m just going to buy a Google phone next time to get Android unadulterated. Though people still have their complaints with those Pixel phones and they’re more expensive. Well at least maybe then I can tolerate my phone instead of downright loathe it.

      Pixels are actually quite worth it, they work like a clockwork, soft and hardware are good and the cameras are up to standard. Its worth the money (don’t buy on release)

      Samsung pissed me off massively by having a pre installed Facebook app that cant be removed…

      That’s my biggest problem with my s22u. Samsung is always launching a new app to annoy me.

      No, I don’t want Bixby, no I don’t want your tips, just give me a nice android experience.

      Motorola makes unbloated android phones with stock android and their gestures are really good. But they lack in the updating department.

        Hey thanks for that. Did some reading and even Pixel uses a “skin” so it’s not a perfectly stock Android system. But the main thing is I want to avoid third party bloatware. Looks like Motorola does pretty well there, also inexpensive.

          I am very happy with them, they are not without issues as I said they lack A LOT in the update department but I can’t live without their gestures anymore, I know they are apps now but I have been using Motorola since the Moto X Play, and I buy Motorola for my family,

          Also they have one of the smaller smartphones with the Motorola Edge 30 Neo and I really appreciate it.

          Also awesome battery

      HMD Nokia’s are also pretty unbloated and work just fine, except mine got a shitty usb-c port that had to be replaced by warranty.

      On the other hand, so did my 2 other previous phones, and they were Samsung.
