Yeah, always their own version of , used by 2 people per month but always running in background. I heard they feared to be thrown out of "Android" certificate program (no Play Store anymore).
Their launcher was always slow and laggy and a ressource hog and only got better, because hardware got better.
My last Samsung was to Kitkat times (Galaxy S3) but even then the whole boot chain was basically custom made (guess for knox) and you had to use their proprietary paid software to edit boot animations. And always needed a Samsung version.
Sadly, dad is Samsung fan because i have to disable half of preinstalled apps and replace with better alternatives, once he gets a new phone.
Basically, Samsung is good at hardware and bad at software.
I had the S3 and it was barely usable after some years. Threw... What was lineage before the switch? Cyanogen? ... on it and it ran like never before. Samsung software is dogshit.
Cyanogen!!
