The only people I've ever met that share the opinion the Samsung UI is good are people who have only ever used Samsung phones.
They make arbitrary changes, with pretty much none of them being enhancements, just a change for the sake of change. Like silly stuff like moving the placement of the back button. It's better than it was, but pretty much every other manufacturer has learned to just stick to mostly the stock experience unless there's an actual improvement.
Eh, I've used Nexus, LG and Motorola in the past. I liked my LG alright.
The Samsung is customizable enough, though they do change things from time to time. I am content that they provide me a way to adjust volume for different sound types easily, they allow me to choose media output quickly, and that the Always-On display can be configured to "only be on when I have new notifications" which functionally replaces notification LEDs for me.
I run Nova for the home app, so I'm immune to some aspects of Samsung's control.
I'm still running a (slowly dying due to increasing difficult with the charging port) LG v20. Best phone I have ever used (and I've used more recent phones such as the Samsung S22).
My immediate reaction was "But there both android, they are going to be nearly identical" but I have to admit I don't really know. Whats the difference between samsung android and google android?
