I haven't personally used a Samsung for a numbe rof years, although my wife and my son both have. Samsungs are good phones, but they do come pre-loaded with an awful lot of bloatware.

I currently have a Huawei P20 Pro, and it is an excellent phone, if not prone to oddities now and again. The interface takes some getting used to. I guess it really does depend on how heavily you use a phone and how techy you are because a lot of features are hidden away.

I'm not a fan of the interface for either Huawei, or Samsung (although I haven't used Samsung in a while as I say so not sure what imporvements may have been made).

I always liked the HTC Sense interface and it's a real shame that HTC went the way they did, because I thought their phones were excellent (last one I got was the M8).

OnePlus' Oxygen is a good interface too. I had the 3T and noticed a distinct lack of bloatware which was a much added bonus and breath of fresh air, although that may have changed as they have got more popular.

Having said all this I am probably going with a Samsung next (contract due for renewal soon), as it is my protest against China, and on O2, you take away chinese manufacturers, and Apple (can't stand them), you don't have a lot of choice.

Thanks

I have been a Samsung fan since I first got a smartphone. Never had one which let me down at all. (Cross my fingers that my Note 8 doesn't blow up)

There again, I'm not keen on trying out new devices. I know how Samsung works so am happy to stay with that.

Samsung has always been my choice but the best phone I had was the Honor 20View until a recent disagreement with a washing machine!

Have a Samsung for work, and not a great fan of the UI.
Personal phone is an LG which is good.
Have had Sonys in the past and like them too.
You could always install a different app/theme if you prefer one over another.
