It was constantly giving out mistaken SOS messages. It would lock up and I'd have to constantly reset.

The final straw was when I was travelling to a work site I had never been to before. It locked up with a static screen and refused to reset. I had to stop at a gas station, at 4am, actually talk to another person and buy a map.

It was slow, buggy, constantly trying to get me to use their Samsung store, .etc...

When I moved to Pixel, it gave me the iPhone experience where shit just worked. And it integrated more things for me, which was convenient at the time. (But now I know it is scraping the fuck out of everything I do/see/hear.)
