Deactivate, install, block connections that should not happen, go in every app settings and make it your own? Probably not, cause enetering in samesung settings and apps, there you meet the chaos.

Nokia has pure android and so it had nothing changet in the funktionality of the system. Samsung only to force bixbi alongside with googles assistent is already twice as privacy unfriendly, but let's deactivate google, now we got rid of the assistent, let's deactivate bixbi....hmm it is injected everywhere in the system, you can't actually really deactivate all it's claws, boomer. The story goes on with cloud storages (who needs them all?) Photo apps, and i really do not remember all the uglyness i encounter setting up a samsung. But let's go deeper into the network and let's activate a network firewall and connect a nokia and a samesung to the network, block their traffic and be surprised how much of trafgic samsung creates in front of Nokia. And nope, that's not good trafic, those are analistics and whatever they implement into the system to trak you down. Now, i am not saying samesung is the only one, i am saying, they are right there on top of the cake together with huaway and xiaomi. Android is indeed based on a linux and it should have been free of eveil, but it ain't, and samesung pretty much takes advantage of that.

                          Only advantage on samsung is the presence in all retailers and mobile networks with almost all theory phones. Reality is changing fast becouse the new phones from xiaomi, 1+, huawei, are really good and at lower price. People need time to understand that the other manufacturers are at least at good

                            Apart from what is said, I saw loads in Spain when I was there.
                            Xiaomi is getting popular in several countries. Maybe not in UK, but even in Sweden they are slowly catching on as I see more and more every day when commuting.

                              And problem with reviewers are that they use that sevices for shorter periods of time, like 1 week, and than they get new devices to tests....
                              In one week, they can't find anything about real problems that comes with device (like that yellow stains that I also have got on my Mi4i, they don't know how bad support for device is, how miui forum is just spammers fighting for badges prising their beloved , how often comes big updates with no real problem fixing....) all that they can find out is maybe that notifications are not coming as they should...
                              I guess that new Xiaomi's flagships are little better quality than they were 2 years ago (when I decided not to buy another Xiaomi, at least not one that cost more than 150€. This is kind of money that I don't are to lose, but for more than that...man should play it safe, and buy something with better local support. I am talking about EU, as this article does too), but so long it comes with MIUI, I really don't care what they have to offer.

                                Most people here just want decent phone for decent price which is exactly what Samsung A series is...

                                      Not everyone needs best camera,Sd855 and to spend 1000€ on a phone.
                                      Not everyone needs a phone to play a games...so therefore midrangers are actually best choices for 90% of people, but marketing of a big companies will be glad that you trust their commercials, and believe that you really need better.
