LOL&lt;p&gt;* A hard button on the side of your phone located just below the &amp;quot;volume down&amp;quot; button,  easy to press accidentally, that is hard-coded and unconfigurable, that will launch their AI assistant Bixby. Don&amp;#x27;t want to use Bixby? Tough shit. Nothing you can do about it.&lt;p&gt;* Constant badgering by the phone&amp;#x27;s native notification to sign up for &amp;quot;Samsung Members&amp;quot;, a social media platform. No, you can&amp;#x27;t turn that off.&lt;p&gt;* Other, similar bullshit.&lt;p&gt;3nm? These are such sketchy practices I cannot imagine it won&amp;#x27;t affect, say, their high-end TVs (they would totally monitor your house and show you advertisements).&lt;p&gt;Seriously, avoid that company. No, paying for their high-end options will not insulate you from their nonsense.</text></comment>
