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.

    samsungs are notorious for doing stuff like this and beong generally bad at software.

    the closer you are to AOSP, the less you will have to deal with such things.

      Huh? I’ve been using Samsung since the s5 and I’ve literally never had this happen outside of major OS upgrades. And even those don’t really change much.

      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.
