Still no issues with my S8, it's an absolute powerhouse and you can turn off or delete most of the bloatware nowadays. The stock Samsung apps for critical stuff like email and texting are fine so there's no worries there.
Since we're on the gripe train about Apple vs. Android, can someone please tell me why iPhones suck so bad at connecting to external hardware when it's not something that Apple built? Before I get a bunch of replies of "well my iBoner has always connected to everything you crazy", objectively over the last year I have probably been asked to help at least 5 different people with iPhones connect to some kind of speaker or smart-something and every single one of them has been a colossal pain to set up or just flat out didn't work. Within a matter of a minute or two I can get my S8 paired to them. I'm also excluding from this the multiples of people who have told me that they have issues pairing and using their brand new iPhones with their brand new car interfaces.
