It's really hard to discuss your percieved faults in either android phones writ large, google-connected Android phones in general, or Samsung in particular if you don't ennumerate said faults.

That being said : yes, I vastly prefer Android to iPhone. The latter comes with vendor lock-in and user infantilization that made the platform untenable for me more than a decade ago, and nothing I've heard since has given me reason to reconsider.

If you're all-in with an iPhone, Mac, apple watch, and the rest, I'm sure that swapping out the iPhone for a Samsung had any number of aggrivations. But faulting Samsung for that lock-in would be like blaming Valve when the LibreOffice on your steam-cube doesnt seamless connect to iCloud.
