Serious question(s): is this a criticism of Samsung or Android? And is it a new issue/trend?

For context, I got the Note 3 when it first came out in 2013 (I had 2... maybe 3 blackberry units over the decade leading up to my switch to the Note). So I don't have a ton of experience with a ton of handsets from various makers.

My Note still works fine, except the battery (the original battery) is going on it and it has an odd glitch or freezes maybe once a week. Really, nothing to complain about, though it now feels like time to change, and the new Note is my first choice... so curious as to the nature of your criticism if you don't mind elaborating. TIA.

The Note 3 was a great phone. Samsungs are bloated with useless duplicate apps and anyone that had an S4 or S5 16 gb device probably had an terrible experience with samsung.

Samsung 16gb phones only come with about 8gbs available to user because of the bloat. They fill up fast and then don't perform well. The Note 7 has 64 gb internal and 4GBs of RAM paired with the snapdragon 820 which was Qualcom's bounce back chip after the debacle 810.

Samsungs have unmatched hardware and as long as you don't get a 16gb phone they will perform well for years.

It things like this that worry me.

I'm almost positive I'm gonna make the switch from a IPhone 6 Plus to a Note7.

But I know what I'm getting out of iPhones and I don't know what I'm getting out of a Samsung.

My issue isn't with Android, but Samsung. Their phones are shite.
