What are some of the best alternatives? With comparable specs (in the US)?

Right now I have a Fold and honestly really like the foldables. Though I think the Pixel Fold is my only alternative there.

  1. Return the Samsung phone
  2. Buy from a company that isn’t hostile towards its customers

This article is pointless.

1.) Don’t buy a Samsung phone

Was this generated with AI? Most of the text seems to be unrelated filler for an article with a direct question in the headline.

Here’s how to re-enable it

Answered at the very end of the article, as is customary these days. The answer is “do the exact thing the popup tells you to do”. If you needed an article for that, you’re probably better off leaving the setting enabled.

The question in the title is just a hook, but this is still an article, not a Q&A.

The text tells why the feature matters, tells it’s redundant, lists the phones affected by it, echoes some Samsung notes about the feature, and answers the question. It’s a report on a particular feature, I wouldn’t call it a filler.

I think that’s just the nature of smartphone related journalism at the moment. It’s sort of a reflection of where the industry is at: lacking substance and focused on short-termism above all else. In the media this translates to a never-ending hype circle around the latest releases, rumours and “leaks”. Everything else has some clickbait name and a bunch of poorly written, irrelevant filler to pad out the “article” for SEO purposes.

yet another useless feature annoyance

Android already blocks sideloading by default at an operating system level.

Which is a sensible choice security-wise.

Sorta

I’m just pointing out that the entirety of Samsung’s Android adds literally nothing of value to the user to the android experience and only serves to, at best, annoy. Not just this one particular feature.
