Another company that's essentially dead to me. Their products are so full of proprietary bloat, they are beyond usable at this point.
Theyre basically spyware phones. I removed all crap on my s23 and after Every update new shit just pops up.
Needless to say this is my last Samsung. I'm waiting for august 20th to drop so I can buy either the new pixel or a heavily discounted old one and throw GrapheneOS on it.
Before you go with a new pixel, how do you feel about this?

So far from what I've read on the grapheneOS forums it won't affect them that much. And sadly I don't think there is any alternative. Fairphone isn't that great, they lack hardware based security compared to pixels.
