Constant Innovation is not the same thing as being a good product

I have been through about 3 Samsung phones now back to back, which has been about the last 8 years and they are great so idk why they are getting so much hate. I had either the 1st or 2nd pixel phone prior to going Samsung and I thought it was awful. I found that I did enjoy some of the extra stuff the UI overlay builds in. For example, at least back then and may not reflect today, pixel didn't even have a way to display battery % by default. I think you could through turning on developer options but it was not as nice. Does the Samsung UI come with a lot of stuff I don't use? Sure but I also don't think it impacts it negatively anyway so who cares.

Also I hate iPhone and think it is the worst UI of them all. I use it daily for my work phone and really have no idea how everyone believes its the best option there is.
