I know personally that I would never buy a Samsung phone again. The budget models are filled with ad/crapware. The premium models are expensive, gimmick laden and bad value.
Genuine question: what do you recommend instead? Not really excited to support Google via pixel either and didn't love my last iPhone. Is there a good choice anywhere?
I installed e/OS/ on my Samsung s8+, best decision of my smartphone user life. Fast os, no ads, no crapware, no tracking, no preinstalled bullshit
Does "visual voicemail" still work when using e/OS/? I bought an unlocked Samsung a few years ago, but it's apparently an issue to get visual voicemail working. Not sure if it's only an ATT problem, (like they're just being dicks about me not buying my phone through them), but I gave up cause it wasn't worth my time. I just don't really check my voicemail anymore cause I'm too lazy to call it, but I wouldn't mind having it back if it's a quick fix
