    or, for that matter, to put any effort at all into software

    This makes no sense. Samsung are basically the biggest innovators in mobile software. Every big feature that google eventually adds to Android was in Samsung phones 5 years ago.

      Please go and use that Samsung software. Then you might want to reevaluate your statement. They are notorious for delivering good hardware with half baked software.

        I have, I’ve used it plenty. What exactly has been “half baked”?

          Just google “Samsung good hardware bad software” or something like that. You will get a significant number of results. For me, the number one annoyance was when the blueborne vulnerability was discovered and their only advice was to turn off bluetooth. Months passed before they patched it, and that was when they lost me.

            That’s not “half baked” though.

            I’m not googling that because that’s just going to give a bunch of people parroting what you said without giving any actual examples. What Samsung software is half baked?

              Yeah sure, I totally understand. I will just compile an essay on the matter and pass it to your office so you don’t have to google it.

                I’m not asking for that, I’m simply asking you for an actual example of “half baked software” that you specifically brought up. Surely you have some examples off the top of your head, since you mentioned it?
