I recently bought an S23 after owning 2 pixels and a nexus. So far, I’m loving the experience much more, funny enough because of the things people call bloatware. Maybe it’s because I play lots of games.
The sidebar shortcuts a super useful, the lockscreen customizations remind me of old android before google went all apple, and dex is great for multitasking.
The only thing that’s a bit annoying is bixby, but i simply installed google assistant alongside it.
It’s perfectly accurate for where i live in Québec.
