I have been using OneUI for 9 months now, and still I haven't seen an ad. You might need to check what third party apps have permission to display on top of other apps.

        Here is a link which talks about the problem. My friends have personally experienced ads on their flagship Samsung devices:

I believe Samsung should be punished in the market for that. Now people on this forum are (presumably) able to setup a device properly, but there are a fair few in my circle of friends who are receiving ads in OEM apps.

            If that is not trashy, I am not sure what is.

You can untick the option to get promotion when you set up your phone (like the Red Cable Club in Oneplus). And as for Bixby, you can change your assistant. It's android you know.
              So, you listed two superficial issues which does not affect the performance of the device. And these are your reasons for calling OneUI trash? You need to check yourself mate.

Plus bloatware, confusing settings which look like someone caked on a layer of Samsung controls on top of Android, forcing Bixby on users. So unlike the way OnePlus does it.

                        The worst decision ever is that of placing ads in a flagship, fully paid up, device. OnePlus, by comparison is on a whole different level.

                        I would like to see people making a bigger issue out of this and force manufacturers into stopping these trashy practices.

                            Samsung is just sooo ordinary boring so simple.
                            Always behind with their laggy updates the first year after a new release.
                            Boring boring boring.

                            Other people like it, like you and that's okay.

                                  July update caused severe battery drain and over heating.

                                  If it ain't broken , don't fix it.

                                  Why do people update their phones, when 90% off the general public never or don't bother accept needs, geeks, techies?
