    From reading online, it seems to be a feature of some segments of the US market.

    I’m currently using my first Samsung device in a while (handed down by someone who didn’t like it) and it’s just like any other phone.

    I’m not in the US though.

    What I could hold against them is how some of their devices have extra features enabled within the brand’s ecosystem. I understand it’s a basic way to keep users with the brand without being too harsh (everything still works with another appliance after all), but it’s still a bit crummy.

      I have some really old ones running Lineage that still work great. They used to make solid phones. The tablet has been good but its software sucked.
