Samsung just needs to shut the fuck up. They're worse than Apple by a fucking mile. They make fun of them for something then turn around and do it next month. Fuck off with this shit. They removed the headphone jack, the charger from the box and the SD card slot. Samsung sucks more than Apple.

And you can't unlock their boot loaders. You must suffer their changes to Android, their assistant, their UI, their spyware, and bloatware. You don't own the device.

I'm going out on a limb here and guessing that Samsung is shipping two wildly different software packages to americans and europeans because none of what you stated is a problem on my end (aside maybe spyware)

Yes, and up to not long ago, also completely different hardware (exynos vs snapdragon). US samsung devices usually cannot be bootloader unlocked. Rest of the world usually can. No idea why.

Maybe like apple, it promised to give your data to the US government and you can probably bypass that if you unlock your bootloader. It is one thing to bend to goverment pressure but it is a whole another level of fucked up shit to take away any means of escaping from it looks at apple and samsung
