Almost every aspect of my experience, from the lock screen (widgets, music, shortcuts) - to the home screen (fully themed KWGT setup) - to the back-end add-ons (sidebar, gestures, bixby routines) - is COMPLETELY CUSTOMISED to my usage preferences.

Instantly makes me a power user, in a realm that most iOS users can’t even comprehend. And for comparison, all this would barely qualify as above average in the Android power user world.

They’re definitely being dicks, but you’re riding the wrong horse. Make more sense to bring up their gradual feature omission and slow rate of growth with respect to the prices i.e. declining value-for-money.

It keeps all your games in one place. You can choose to also hide them from the main apps list, so they only show in game launcher.

Additionally, it comes with a few useful tools & quick shortcuts, such as idle mode, performance optimization, screenshot & video capture.

Watch the heavy workload battle by “in depth tech reviews” on youtube. It’s a more practical, real-world comparison between S23U/15PM/Pixel 8 (there’s another vid with 14PM & pixel 7 as well).

And the S23U absolutely claps the iPhone. Really put the holier-than-thou A16/A17 in its place.

To your point though, power users often multitask with 3 or more apps. Heavy gamers use emulators. Both of these can actually cause even flagship processors to sweat. In that respect, the S23U & Z5 are the most powerful phones ever made.
