    Every time I’ve needed a new phone I’ve considered Samsung. But I just can’t buy into their extremely heavy modifications and have always opted for a clean android experience. Their hardware looks amazing and I want nothing more in a phone than a Samsung running stock.

      If I may, what is your current phone? Finding one that fits the bill isn’t an easy task nowadays

        I’m using a Pixel 6 pro. It’s got some quirks, but overall it works for me.
