I remeber the days when samsung made great hardware (they still do) and didnt fill it with bloat i couldnt replace.
On the pixels now with that grapheneos and now i finally own my dopamine rectangle.
Samsungs have always contained lots of bloat relative to other OEMs. Don't you remember how god-awful Touchwiz was?
Shit, the S4 had only 8GB space usable on a 16GB phone.
Could u not reflash the older ones tho? And godamn i miss the ability to put an sd card my phone
You could, and this was before banks and such blocked your device if it was rooted. Still wasn’t accessible to most, and if you had a carrier variant you were probably out of luck.
