Samsung is working on a new AI experience for its devices that will help you use your phone without ever accessing the Settings menu.

Fuck samsung
Settings…developer mode? Unknown sources? Well why on earth would you ever want that? You don’t need that…
Before you get access to the Developer mode, you must first answer my riddles three.
They will burry everything useful behind their AI game wardens whose job it is to force us to use the phone only in the way they want and not in a useful way.
clickbait article title alert.
They never state they are wanting to remove the settings window, just that they seem to be working on an AI that can suggest changes to the phone based off your usage. honestly if it worked it might help, it already does a pretty “ok” job at noticing what apps need to be deep seeped or removing perms from apps that I don’t use and removing apps that I haven’t used in ages.
I would be against removing the settings menu but, this AI might not be that bad if it’s just being subsidized alongside it and not replacing it. As long as it offers and just doesn’t automatically change it
They need to focus on letting snapdragon variants have unlocked bootloaders. Cause as far as Im concerned the S23U is my last Samsung.
That and they really need to bring back the micro SD card slot, I’m still on an s20 plus myself and as far as I can see this will be my last Samsung due to it
I really did think I’d need that slot coming from my note10+ but I haven’t filled up my 512gb internal. However…removing features isn’t progress and I’m not typing this to justify it’s removal.
Remember when we used to have IR blasters on phones.
I have a 256 Gig micro SD card filled to the brim, and I’m slowly chipping away at my 128gb internal.
But even if I upgraded my internal, I’m not comfortable with not having some form of removable storage device. Those photos mean jack shit to me if my phone breaks itself and I can no longer turn it on. Currently I do synchronize it with my server at my house because I am slowly prepping myself for when I have to take the plunge, but it’s not optimal, I plan on jumping off Samsung to another brand that does, but none of the flagships out there even do it anymore
Also yes I fully missed the IR blasters, not that most TV is I think was function with it anyway because so many smart capabilities but it was nice
Thank you
I hate Samsung and ai in general but this is such a dishonest click bait title. From what I read, they are working on an ai feature which can change some settings dynamically based on usage. I don’t see a need for it but as long is not forced on everyone, I don’t mind it too much. I don’t see any mention that this will completely replace settings menu either. Speculation is fine but mark it as such.
And that’s how they get clicks. And now you’re talking about it. And me. So it’s working
Ofc it works. It’s a click bait, that’s the whole point. But if you are perfectly fine with that then do you mind if someone else makes a ridiculous rage click bait and put irrelevant content in the article? Where do you draw the line? Integrity is important, don’t make exceptions for the one you like.
I’m not disagreeing with you
Just a big json file? I’m down
Naw, they’ll make it yaml
And the only way to edit it will be in an on-phone editor that won’t use a mono spaced font.
Calm down there Satan, that sounds pretty awful.

That’s a good way to make people stop buying your phones.
The rest of us want future articles to have none of whatever wanker came up with that clickbait-ass headline.
This is a non-article.
They’re not just going to delete the settings menu.
They’re trying to improve the UX the same way they’ve been doing since the first phone. Improve settings, make some predictive depending on your usage. Not a big deal.
They got rid of the headphones jack so I didn’t buy one. Now this??? WTF! Why don’t they just smear human poop on the phone before shipping? That would be way easier on the users. You just wash it for a few hours upon opening the baggie. Easy.
There once was a Jack for the headphones
But Samsung would crackle the dead bones
Flagships, before shipping,
in shits they were dipping
Hence, now they’re the lords of the shit thrones…
what could go wrong with samsung changing your settings for you
Now you gotta know how to pronounce the thing just right and know what to ask for when you’re opting out of consent for Samsung’s rape fantasy.
Also, how the fuck does a whole fucking media giant gloss over how shit of an interface talking to a bot is. Have none of them ever once called their health insurance companies?
I can’t wait for Bixby Settings to gaslight me about the option to pick another on-screen keyboard than the official Samsung one…
Samsung can go fuck themselves when i cant change what my phone does I’ll just use my fucking steam deck as phone.
Yeah honestly i have previously considered just taping a raspberry pi to a portable touch screen and a powerbank and use that instead of a phone with how shitty phones are getting. Fairphone + Calyx is what stopped me from going down that route tho.
Tbh, im currently using a Pixel, they are… Actually quite good, even without another OS, wich you can install.
I even controlled what it uploads, it doesn’t send data when i don’t agree to it (living in EU) so im fine with it and a custom launcher (the normal one sucks).
Is Pixel, ironically, the only device with unlocked bootloader and seemingly with most control, i.e. ability to easily install another OS?
Yes, at least from what i know, maybe there is some DIY phones or maybe Nokia pulles some great phone out of their ass somehow, but currently i know only about the Pixels being actually good at what they do.
Correct. Look at CalyxOS and GrapheneOS and what they support.
Okay. Thanks, guys. 🍻
I’ll think about it for my next phone when the time comes.
I can concur the Pixel 8 Pro has honestly been pretty good, for whatever it’s worth. Granted I’m not in the EU, so I don’t get the benefits of GDPR, but it’s the best of a bad set of options.
And when support ends graphene goes in
Yup
