I recently got an s23 and all the bundled software really is trash. I had a pixel 7 pro, but managed to make it unusable with a drop that landed just right to complete shatter and glitch the screen. I opted for the s23 because my local carrier doesn't have pixels and I wanted a smaller form factor again. There are things I really like about it, but all the "helpful" Samsung apps are not counted among thier number.
