Bought Asus laptop, just 1.5 year later the product is discontinued and no support page can be found. They also stopped selling the charging brick for it.

Bought Sony headphones, a year later wanted to replace the foam. No customer support, no repair, just nada.

Bought Samsung phone. Filled to brim with bloat. Shows me ads on lockscreen. Crawling speed in 2 years. No updates.

Bought an iPhone for mom. Still getting updates after 4 years. Got battery replaced with no hassle.

Don't knock it till you try it.

Honestly I gave up on Samsung a while ago. Not generally a fan of Google's business practices but I switched to a Pixel a year ago and it's already leagues better than any of the Samsung phones I used.

Samsung has been becoming increasingly like Apple.

The S23 Ultra (their top of the line phone) has an excellent camera and image stabilization and a stylus. It doesn't, however have expandable storage, an IR blaster, headphone jack. or a removable battery.

I have a Galaxy Tab A7 Lite (rooted and debloated)

I don't like that I don't get updates after I rooted it. Also screw Google safetynet (although this is not just limited to Samsung devices)

Also FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, Samsung, please use a standard fastboot implementation instead of Download mode/odin bs

It is a decent tablet though in terms of hardware
