I’ve had a Kindle for years - to be fair to Amazon kindles seem to be built to last - and used to do the same.
But last time I did I got an email saying they’re abandoning the mobi format and from now on when emailing documents to your Amazon library send it in epub format. Which is excellent news
Yeah to be fair I’ve always had a Samsung, either flagship or midrange and never had an issue.
Samsung has gone way overboard with their pricing for flagships recently but their midranges are pretty decent on that score and I guess I just go with them because I’m happy with what I’m getting now. The A52s is what I have now, upgraded from an S10+ which had pretty much the same specs.
In terms of bloatware, I just disable it or uninstall it, same as I do with any software which comes on a work phone or home PC that I don’t use. Is this a big deal?
As for pixels - it’s great that they get regular updates. But they’re also expensive. They seem to look nice. Generally speaking though I agree they are the attempt to do an iPhone version of Android which probably only really matters in the US market
