Accepting all the above complaints about Samsung, I'm nevertheless surprised at Samsung receiving no love. Samsung owns me ever since Samsung Pay with its patented MST (Magnetic Strip Technology). I've never encountered a terminal that can't take Samsung Pay (Apple and Android Pay require NFC-equipped terminals), and it seems to almost beam membership cards (e.g., supermarket discount cards, library cards) with perfect accuracy.
That and the beautiful AMOLED screens and top-notch hardware, and some Samsung features I appreciate (Edge Panels, Samsung Health), and I'll be buying Samsung again as my next phone. It's top quality, and any bloat hasn't yet bothered me--heck, apps are easy enough to hide and/or disable with some organization (I rarely go to the app drawer).
I'm just too used to the freedom in Android for me to consider Apple, though others might prefer the more straightforward iOS rules. Automotive diagnostic apps are pretty much all going Android.
Agree with Kacir, my Yotaphone 2 has supplanted my Sony PRS-350 as my take-along reader because it's more pocketable. Plus the battery lasts and lasts when using the e-Ink screen.
