Not sure if it is like that because I’m in Korea, but on my Samsung S9 Samsung is injecting ads for their new S24 in my notifications. I’ve had the phone for 5 years and this is the first time I see ads in my phone notifications, unbelievable.

    Disabled that shit and my next phone isn’t going to be a Samsung.

    You won’t be able to disable that sort of things in most other phones, though. It’s not like China crap won’t push ads and Samsung has second best Android support after Fairphone.

        Samsungs hardware is pretty nice, but only when its running LineageOS or similar. Man their ux is awful.

          OneUI UX is way superior to Lineage. Specially the newer OneUI 6. Lineage abuses tiles and toggles and it’s just ugly as sin overall.

          Man their ux is awful.

          Samsung pioneered a UX on big screens that works with only one thumb. It took Google a while to adapt that to upstream Android. Ports of OneUI to community ROMs are quite popular on XDA Developers.
