    General question about S10/S10+: Bloatware and updates, specifically.

    Personally I love Samsung One UI, because it provides the right balance of useful features for an Android skin.

    what was your phone before the P10, and why did you switch?

    Is this the answer to Huawei's background battery drain?

    P.S. The app below is good at putting background apps to sleep. It's a shame it was not a native feature of Android, i.e. from Android's inception. Doze - For Better Battery Life...
