Samsung Apps vs Google Apps

[anon(10621852)]

Greetings,

Anxiously waiting for my Galaxy S21+ to arrive and wanted to ask this question ahead of time.

So, on Samsung devices there's obviously a lot of redundancy when it comes to apps (Calendar, Reminders, Mail, Contacts, etc). Samsung and Google have their own and they come pre-loaded on your Samsung device. In the one sense, this is great because you have a choice - but this is also where I'm seeking some feedback from others.

For those of you who have Samsung devices .... when it comes to Samsung apps vs Googe apps, do you use one or the other exclusively, or do you mix it up? I'm wondering what is the easier way to approach this? It seems like it would be easier and less confusing to use either one or the other, but how do you pick? Do I want to be fully immersed in the Samsung ecosystem or the Google ecosystem? Samsung seems to have some decent native apps, but so does Google.

What's a logical way to approach this?

Thanks

I stick with the Google apps on my Tab S7. The Samsung apps are still there, and access my Google accounts (except for Mail), but I don't use them.
