Nothing like that on the Samsungs I've owned. Next phone will be a Pixel, so we'll see.

Have you tried a Pixel? I've been happily using them for years.

I just bought one. I currently have a GS4, used to have a Nexus 4. Every day I wish I had kept my Nexus 4. Now I can fix my mistake!

How are you liking it? Considering getting one to replace my Pixel.

You might want to check out Pixel phones. I'm still rocking a Pixel 2 and it still works great.

Only tried the Samsung one. Considering switching back to iPhone.

yes, i'm still clinging to my pixel 3, which is indeed perfect

Thank you! This sounds like it's what I am after. I've been using Xiaomi phones for the same purpose, but they started neglecting software side heavily since last year or so. This should be a good replacement.

is it good compared to what android do? I never considered buying one but why not actually.

I don't like the requirement of using nexus 6 only. I don't mind switching to android from iphone, but nexus 6 is almost 1 year old. and it is huge...
