Quoting the tl;dr in the linked article:
Samsung could be stepping up its game by offering seven years of major Android updates for the Galaxy S24 series, and the generous update policy might extend to other Galaxy flagships.
The Galaxy S24 series might also introduce charges for AI features like Live Translate and Pixel-like photo editing tools after 2025.
There’s speculation that users may need to sign in to their Samsung accounts for certain AI functionalities.

Reading another thread, it seems you can’t even move the search bar on Pixel Launcher?

That’s what I meant with no ideal solution, each has its cons
My last few phones have been Pixels and the only issue was my Pixel 6 having a greenish screen, but I was able to fix that with an app that altered the color temperature I think.
But a few updates later I hadn’t reenabled that app and the green was gone anyway. Google fixed it in a software update.

Interesting, I read so much negative feedback about the Pixel 6 and 7 hardware that it really stuck with me. Also I’m not in the US so I wouldn’t benefit from a lot of Pixel unique features.
By the way, is it true you can’t remove the search bar from the Pixel launcher?

And yes, I know that buying Samsung indirectly supports Google, but it seems like a potential better deal to get a slightly better phone.

It’s worse then that there is so much bloatware on a pixel, I’m surprised there isn’t more complaining. You can “remove” it with ADB but it doesn’t actually remove it.
