                      SEUL8TR, 20 Feb 2021But why was these features bothering you, it's there, ... moreBecause I don't like to keep all those things that I don't use ; plus it's easier too find what I need in my app drawer. I used to struggle to find stuff in my app drawer when I couldn't uninstall those usless stuff . Also I sold it because my s20 plus (exynos ) was getting hot in my pocket for no reason ; without using it.

                        You've got 12gb Ram, that's more than enough.


                        I've got the S21ULTRA 16gb Ram 512gb memory. And even turning on all the features running active at the background in performance mode it still shows 7gb Ram available, neither has it slowed down. The S888 CPU is very powerful SOC. Exynos 2100 as well.

                              My father had J1 Mini, android 4.4. It had both.

                                2019 = 1,5 billion exmor sold for mobile

                                New factory is about to be open.



                                  [deleted post]I think you are the one that needs a doctor. I had the most expensive flagship phone ( Samsung's ; sony ; iPhones ; LG ; google ) so don't tell me what's useful . Tell me 5 useful features from samsung . I sold my s20 after 6 months. Luckily now you can uninstall all the useless stuff ; in the past you couldn't .

                                    SEUL8TR, 20 Feb 2021Android stock plain vanilla is empty. It's like buyi... more1.Swimming pool without water 2.Forest without grass 3.Plate without food 4.Computer without operating system 5.Smartphone without screen 6.Car without engine 7.Animal without feet 8.Head without hair 9.Eyes without vision 10.Building without materials

                                      How the tables have turned

                                      Once upon a time stock Android is better because it's clean

                                      Stock Android sucks you have to download a bunch of apps to get some features you need

                                      Look at notes in MIUI 12.5 you can record audio notes and turn your ugly scribbled circle/squares etc into perfect shapes

                                      As a writer it's just so useful

                                      Unless your a basic user then stock Android just doesn't make sense

                                        wongwatt, 20 Feb 2021Yeah buying a house WITH furniture is actually not that com... moreWe are talking about features on phone, if you buy or rent a house, it comes with white goods, washing machine, cooker and fridge curtains. So what about the rest, bed, table, chairs.
                                        So Android vanilla Pixel, Nexus phones are featureless. Buying a car with no power steering, or triptronic, no sunroof, no heated seats and etc.

                                        Was it that hard for you too understand what I was trying too say?
