The shoddy QC in Pixel devices is bad enough I only recommend Sammy flagships to my Android friends. Doesn't feel like a great choice either with all the adware tbh.
You are greeted with a screen with all the crap it wants to install after turning on the phone for the first time (which you can fully skip) and that's it. A One UI 7/8 setup can be pretty bare bones and minimalistic if you want, at least here in the EU.
