there's still the classic stubbornness in Samsung when it comes to their firmware and software side, namely BIXBY
seriously all they need to do to make One UI close to perfect is remove the damm BIXBY. no one cares about it but Samsung being Samsung, they're forcing it down on the users

P30? Great phone, even greater Zoom mode. But I dislike kirin chipset and emui (personal preference). With the current situation of the US trade war working against Huawei, Google android possibly abandoning Huawei, combined with Huawei's silly move in pushing advertisement on Huawei phones lock screen scandal recently, I would not touch any Huawei with a pole.
Well, all big companies like Samsung will have their own 'ego' in pushing out their own apps and programs and try to make consumers adapt and use it, just like Apple. As long as we are not forced to buy and use it, Im ok. Bixby can be disabled and best is to not enable it on the first boot. Problem solved.
The problem with Android phone makers is that they have to realize that Apple owns both hardware and software, so they can force whatever they think is right to their users. That's not the case for Android. The software doesn't belong to Samsung or Huawei. Google has their own ecosystem and set of apps, so to have another one from the phone manufacturer means there are duplicates and some users (like myself) dismiss them as bloat.
Hehe, I'd still like to try the P30 Pro at some point though, but for now, maybe not.
