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).
