Mar 30, 7, 25 38, 1, According to my experience using S2, S3, S4 mini and Note 3.

Samsung's stock ROMs are highly unstable, buggy, fully not optimized, half-finished stock apps, full of uninstallable bloatwares, etc. Samsung still does not understand that the biggest turn down for their phones is their software.

All of this is to say, Samsung has come a long way since TouchWiz. It feels rare at this point that I completely miss a primary Android feature on a Samsung device as was all too common back then.

Samsung is a technology conglomerate based out of South Korea that makes some of the world's most popular smartphones. Find him on Twitter NexusBen. This manufacturing juggernaut spent most of its early days in the mobile industry just trying to keep up with innovation leaders like Nokia, BlackBerry, and, later, Apple.

But in Samsung turned a major corner when it introduced the Galaxy Alpha , a lovely slab of electronics that was the harbinger of a grand renaissance in Samsung hardware design. In its wake, cheap plastic was pushed aside for solid metal frames, polished glass surfaces, and a tasteful aesthetic that could stand right alongside the iPhone without feeling any shame about copying it.

It just never seemed plausible that Samsung would be able to replicate the same upswing on the software side of things. No hardware manufacturer of its ilk has previously been able to pull off the trick. No major phone manufacturer has skinned Android this well or this skillfully. The font of the digital clock on the lock screen complements this look, and the redesigned settings menu extends the simplified, functional theme further. The same is true of the icons: good on stock Android, and now also good, but distinctly Samsung, on the new TouchWiz.

I can now finally switch my Android navigation keys so the back button is on the left rather than the right. Double-tapping the recent apps button on the Galaxy S8 also does the same thing as it would on a Google Pixel, switching me back to the last previously used app.

Other neat Samsung things on the Galaxy S8 include a full-featured photo editor built into the gallery app, a secure folder for both apps and files, and a new audio-splitting function that allows me to sync one Bluetooth device for calls and another for media playback. I personally never use it and immediately swap it out for another home launcher and disable or remove the majority of Sammy bloat. Gingerbread May 24, KratosPS likes this.
