        David, 14 Jan 2023I hate customised Android and Samsung's heavy modifica... moreand still all of them combined sell less than samsung ... one UI is perfect stock software has limitations and besides the only reason for some one to buy a near stock software are the OS updates....but now days most of manufactures offress 2 updates for their mid - high end phones ... samsung offers 3 major updates and additional 1 year of security patches .. besides most people exchanges their phones every 2-3 years so they got you covered ?

          Most of 3rd party Apks are not working on Android 13 One UI 5.0 :(

            Now that my daily driver is on Android 12 (stock), I am envious of Samsung's notification shade. It's designed for the most functionality with the fewest clicks while still looking good. Compare that to all the extra clicks I have to do to disable mobile data or change the brightness.

            Samsung >> Google in UI design

            Even Apple and BBK/Xiaomi beat Google in this handily

                David, 14 Jan 2023I hate customised Android and Samsung's heavy modifica... moreIn your opinion, Moto software overall good enough? (if as many OS upgrades nor often patches as Sam has are not expected)

                  David, 14 Jan 2023I hate customised Android and Samsung's heavy modifica... moreWhy do you hate heavily customized Android software?

                        I hate customised Android and Samsung's heavy modifications are the reason I've never bought any of their phones. Literally only Google, Nokia, Motorola and Sony left doing stock/near stock.

                            Being a very large update Samsung not provided a small thing that is "smart view option " on Samsung galaxy A12 so I think every galaxy A12 user may be not happy 😊😊😊

                                  bloatUI 5.0

                                    Just wondering but when are the other companies with android 13 versions of their OS going to show up?

                                    No pixel android 13 review who were 1st to get it, no Oppo with android 13 review who were 2nd to get the update (got mine like end of September in the UK and we were late vs other countries to get it on Oppo phones, I'm already on like my 3rd/4th update on it).

                                    You've done Realme, OK no sense but cool (had 2 phones in December with it but they get a review?) and.... Samsung who were late to the android 13 update aswell, pretty sure they were like 5th to the party.

                                    Oneui on android 13 could be and probably is very good (unlike the hardware and security issues gsm decide to keep quiet on Samsungs S series phones for years including terrible sales numbers and security chip breaches) but just way too much samsung smashed in to my face specially when you have so many other companies to talk about on a non subjective site that have had stable android 13 for months longer than Samsung. It's not GSMSamsung it's GSMarena.

                                    (there's enough brainwashing advert pushing from them in cities/towns, TV and online sites/apps like amazon video and YouTube that only show Samsung ads now or 3rd party companies selling Samsung products only, fed up of seeing the flip/fold, galaxy buds and galaxybook on every advert.)

                                      S22 Ultra user.

                                      First fix the f*** bugs for Adapter and DAC. Type C to 3.5mm audio jack will not work, only work if the jack has in-built dac. Only Samsung and Apple adapter will work, after connecting jack if you accept ok to work as dac it will not support for call, if you cancel the volume is very low.
                                      I am basically Audiophile, i have hell lot of items with dacs, all local to branded dacs and audio jacks work in my OnePlus 10T, Pixel 7a and Rog 6. Why can't Samsung enables this option.
                                      My OnePlus audio jack type C -3.5mm (350rs) sounds 1000% better than S22 Ultra with apple (900rs) and Samsung (650rs) audio jack.

                                      Audio wise My 10T and Rog 6 sounds 10k% better than Samsung S22 Ultra.

                                      I wasted simply 1.14L on this bloody phone. Instead i could have gone for some basic model ads phone Vivo or Oppo.

                                      DONT BUY SAMSUNG PHONES, WASTE OF MONEY

                                        For me personally is Samsung software confusing (s22 ultra). At 2 a.m. I was waken up by notification to back up pin. Alarm clock is too bright at night and its icons are not intuitive. Many applications, which I never set up were sending me notifications ( among others report about phone usage or applications put asleep..). I have turned on notification for gmail, but they dont show when I dont use phone. Call of duty is freezing sometimes. Camera was promoted phone feature but you cannot select european 50 frames for video. I expect from phone not to bother me by default, but just to work properly.
