      Motorola phones for me and my family, they are reliable and work. At work they give me Samsung phones I guess that knox things sells to companies.

        Hate Samsung, they force their own keyboard into the work profile pure balls. It’s bad at basic keyboard things.

          And Motorola doesn’t even have it’s own keyboard and uses Google’s gboard. They also don’t have their own gallery, file manager nor calender app. Which I find a little weird. They use google apps for all of these.

            Which is better than Samsung, they used force notifications for the likes of their calendar app. If you removed the permissions it would give you a constant notifications alerting you to the app not working properly.

            Scumbag Samsung

              Yes I know about these notifications when you take away permissions. I’ve been using Samsung phones for almost a decade…but recently my phone had issues right when the warranty period was over and I swore to never buy Samsung again. But since I don’t buy Apple products either, I just bought a cheap Motorola. The quality isn’t that great, but it has advantages and disadvantages. I haven’t used a Motorola since my old flip phone. Unfortunately Lenovo bought them. It is interesting though to check out this phone and see the differences. After I bought it I read an article that they don’t get Android updates for very long. Which kinda sucks.

              Anyways, I was trying to limit the permissions for google on my Samsung phones. But now on Motorola I have even more Google apps and can’t even look at my photos or files without using google. Which kinda sucks. But at least they let you use the gallery app without being logged in. That’s the only positive. Google has WAY too much power.

              I wasn’t trying to defend Samsung. They suck in many ways. But Motorola has disadvantages as well.
