It's been a while since I used Android so I'm wondering about using Samsung Mail, contacts and calendar vs the Google version. This device is primarily for work and we are using G-Suite for our company email, calendar, etc.

I honestly prefer Google apps because I don't have to worry about changing device OEMs and can view anything on desktop.

for email I prefer Samsung because it has the ability to choose sync options. I have mine set to sync once a day, it happens around 2am. I also prefer Samsung messages because it has RCS, scheduled messages and themes with Samsung. functionality wise email and messages work about the same been the two companies, looks can be a deciding factor. Samsung is sterile and Google very bubbly. I do prefer Gboard over Samsung because it allows both swipe and cursor scroll at the same time, but I think the Samsung keyboard feels better.

This is my work email so once a day won't cut it. I need emails as they arrive.

I prefer Samsung's calendar over Google's because you get a monthly view. Google just blocks events together and I'm not a fan.
As for email, since I'm a Microsoft gal, of course I use Outlook for that and Nine (by 9 folders; paid app) for contacts and calendar modifications.

When we were on an exchange server at work I was all about that Outlook app. Now that we're on GSuite I've had to rethink my choices.

Google does have a month view. You can change it in the sidebar menu. It will stick until you change it again or sometimes an app update will too.
