My pixel broke (was running CalyxOS, lineage before that), and I had to get a quick burner phone to make work calls. Got a $200 dollar used samsung. I didn't realize what utter trash nonsense is loaded onto normal phones. It's absolutely bonkers what Samsung did to destroy Android with no value add.

To be honest though, there's a huge difference between the Android experience on a $200 Samsung phone, and a $2000 one. I have a Galaxy S10, and the experience is fairly good (though I would prefer at least a vanilla Android).

They added value, just not for end users.
