    so its either pure android from moto, nokia, pixel or go the iOS route. this helps in narrowing down choices before buying a new phone.

      I think this will be my last samsung phone. Been using it for 2 years.

      This is not a bug. It is a fatal flaw.

      I immediately turned off the message app permission for my storage.

              Samsung is full of lag ang bug and bloatware. Don't buy any phone from Samsung.

                        Hahaha now i know why i like wannila android.
                        And someone said havuing a company UI is much better.
                        Fart is better not company UI.
                        Nothing beats pure android.
