From the article: "The company claims One UI 8 brings "multimodal capabilities, UX tailored to different device form factors, and personalized, proactive suggestions." Having used the new OS for a few hours, it doesn't seem like much has changed with Samsung's AI implementation."
If you are curious, the article goes into more detail about the tweaks to the AI layer. I just wanted to provide a TLDR for those keeping up with the general AI shenanigans.

Shit, Samsung dropped a recent update that turned my S24 into an iPhone. It's the most annoying update and makes me want to root my phone.

Thank God I'm not the only one who absolutely hates this. Over a decade ago, I used an iPhone for a month before returning it for an Android because I hated it so much.

The OneUI update? You can undo most of the annoyingness. But the overall look change is downright annoying I'd agree.

Its crazy the lack of phones being developed without ai and with physical keyboards.
Any idiot can see there would be a demand for a minimalist phone with retro vibes but I guess the USA wants everything to be efficiently Spyware.

They are being made by smaller companies, the problem is that the so-called "demand" always has excuses as to why they don't buy them. It was the same with small phones - many people claimed to want them yet the sales didn't reflect that.

My phone's battery is discharging at an alarming rate. One of the things I want to try is removing Gemini. Anyone knows it's URI so that I remove it through ADB?

Well I would definitely buy a phone with a physical keyboard if I had any available around me. Years ago I even bought that moto Z phone that allowed attachable devices because they said there would be a keyboard for it - but they never released any.
The AI stuff I don't mind as much as long as long as it remains being just software that I can disable.

I Remember debloating my Note 8 tablet (N5100) back in the JellyBean era because TouchWiz was basically bloatware with some UX sprinkled on top. Looks like we're back at it.

I've got the update waiting to be installed. I read the reviews and haven't installed it. But it nags me every few hours.

If I wanted and apple product I would have bought an apple product. This is my last Samsung device after being all in on Samsung - tablet, earbuds, phone, watch, no more...

Just use Shizuku+Canta. You can even remove the galaxy store and secure folder

Unihertz has a physical keyboard series called the Titan, which is getting a new release later this year. There's also the recently released Minimal Phone and the Clicks keyboard accessory for the Motorola razr 50 series.
