Just one of the many reasons why I got an s23 ultra over a pixel 7 pro.

Dex mode is awesome , the hardware of Galaxy is nice too but unfortunately I cannot install a private ROM like GrapheneOS or Calyx, for me this criteria is above all benefits that a Samsung Galaxy can offer me

That is a sad reality when it comes to samsung. Beat you can do is adb the apps away you don't want, and use rethinkdns (firewall) combined with the dns of them, nextdns or decloudus.

Is not GrapheneOS, but it's a little more private as out of the box.

I have a Galaxy Flip 4 too that I earned from my company and I did exactly what you said.

I mean, you can... But doing so will break Knox for ever and the only way to get it back is to replace the entire motherboard on the phone.
