    You probably should’ve led with the fact that this is Chinese phones, not like Samsung and shit.

        They all mostly run android with GMS. They do apply their own skin, and sometimes Manufactures try to market it as a seperate OS. For example “NothingOS” in the Nothing phones, which is just stock android with a fancy skin applied.

        No they don’t; they killed off Tizen over half a decade ago. All modern Samsung devices run on Android. OneUI is a skin, not an OS.

          Is it that long ago already? I thought they had kept it around. Thank you for updating me.

          Yes I do like my iPhone! Samsung is not bad, used the Note for many years.

            Clearly you didn’t understand the point I was making. I never said you weren’t allowed to like a product.

              Clearly, but do I get an Apple fan club t-shirt?

                Maybe if you send enough fan mail to Tim Cook

        I’m not all that keen on Samsung myself, but the ‘and shit’ here is a stand-in for the other makers of android phones for the US market. I’m sure google would be happy to supply a list, but I can’t be fucked to go find it.

          I’ve got a Huawei tablet post the play store ban, it was a pain to use.

            Huawei is not the Android phone other than Samsung.

        It’s pretty much all shit. It’s just “what flavor of shit would you like today?”
