>>Samsung annoy me with all the bloatware etc but the hardware is decent
I used to buy every S Ultra phone every year, thinking the same - this year I bought the latest Oppo instead and wow, what a bubble I used to live in. The battery alone blows the Ultras out of the water, the chip is just as fast but stays cool, the camera and the screen are just better. The only thing that Samsung had over this was the anti reflective coating. Oh and it actually charges like a modern phone not something from 2015.
I used to buy Samsung from S1 to S21, then I got a pixel and now the Oppo Find X9 Pro and wow, I forget to charge it. I've had days when I go to sleep with almost 80% battery. The pixel lasted me half day
