I’m at a point in life I get a phone, set it up and live my life.

Everytime I get updates for my Samsung phone my menu is wack and I gotta click through thousand new commands and options that I will never use in my life.

Please just give me updates for my security and no more features.

    I think you remember something that is 15 years old. Samsungs are very good now and even though I don’t use the default launcher (OneUI), when I used it it didn’t seem clunky or anything. And yes, they put a lot of junk apps by default, but you can uninstall most of them right off the bat and never care.

      I had an unlocked S20, didn’t come with Facebook or any extra bloat besides the Samsung duo apps, uninstalled a couple of them myself and updates were just a restart and it works similar to one plus phones I’ve had. My wife got an S23 from our carrier and hers came with carrier apps, McAfee security, Facebook, etc and every update she got ads and all kinds of weird popups. I think the carrier devices are giving the bad rap
