you can remove the bloatware. i just went to the s23 ultra from a pixel 7. i've got it running pretty much the same as the pixel was, with the samsung features that set it above the basic pixel line

You can remove and/or disable everything preinstalled, Curt.  This is Android, where you're free to use any ecosystem, unlike Apple.

Or by stating you were a Samsung loyalist until "last year" did you instead mean "last decade"?
