clickbait article title alert.
They never state they are wanting to remove the settings window, just that they seem to be working on an AI that can suggest changes to the phone based off your usage. honestly if it worked it might help, it already does a pretty "ok" job at noticing what apps need to be deep seeped or removing perms from apps that I don't use and removing apps that I haven't used in ages.
I would be against removing the settings menu but, this AI might not be that bad if it's just being subsidized alongside it and not replacing it. As long as it offers and just doesn't automatically change it
They need to focus on letting snapdragon variants have unlocked bootloaders. Cause as far as Im concerned the S23U is my last Samsung.
That and they really need to bring back the micro SD card slot, I'm still on an s20 plus myself and as far as I can see this will be my last Samsung due to it
I really did think I'd need that slot coming from my note10+ but I haven't filled up my 512gb internal. However....removing features isn't progress and I'm not typing this to justify it's removal.
Remember when we used to have IR blasters on phones.
I have a 256 Gig micro SD card filled to the brim, and I'm slowly chipping away at my 128gb internal.
But even if I upgraded my internal, I'm not comfortable with not having some form of removable storage device. Those photos mean jack shit to me if my phone breaks itself and I can no longer turn it on. Currently I do synchronize it with my server at my house because I am slowly prepping myself for when I have to take the plunge, but it's not optimal, I plan on jumping off Samsung to another brand that does, but none of the flagships out there even do it anymore
Also yes I fully missed the IR blasters, not that most TV is I think was function with it anyway because so many smart capabilities but it was nice
Thank you
