I recently bought an S23 after owning 2 pixels and a nexus. So far, I’m loving the experience much more, funny enough because of the things people call bloatware. Maybe it’s because I play lots of games.

The sidebar shortcuts a super useful, the lockscreen customizations remind me of old android before google went all apple, and dex is great for multitasking.

The only thing that’s a bit annoying is bixby, but i simply installed google assistant alongside it.

Armored core 6! I’ve been waiting ages for a new installment. I’m so hyped for it that I took some vacation days for it.

S23. I had been using a Pixel 4a previously and was hesitant to use a Samsung phone because of all the hate One UI gets online, but I’m quite happy with the switch. The “bloat” is nowhere as bad as people make it out to be, and some of it actually very useful imo, like the side menu, much better multi-window, game mode, and routines. Expensive af compared to the 4a though.
