Does Samsung do Android better than Google?

[LIVEFRMNYC]

Bottom line, if you want a smooth performing phone, that's fast, and pleasant to use, you have two options only, the OnePlus 6 or Pixel 2 XL.

Seems like there might be a different consensus about the Pixel.

Samsung offers more features and options than stock Android. Some features like Bixby are head scratchers to me to be honest. But small things like Samsung's mail and calendar apps are so much better. They offer features not found on stock Android.

I think that right there shows you a major difference between Android die hards and Apple die hards. High profile Android users, like MKHB will come out straight and say things like this, but how many high profile die hard Apple users ever say anything negative about Apple to this degree? Never. You know for sure they had to run into the Apple lag in their iphones that caused them to buy new iPhones, yet, you never hear a thing from them. Even after Apple come out and admit it, not a word from their die hards. This is why when a manufacturer dominates in the Android world, it's quite the accomplishment. So much more competitive in the Android world, where customers can just drop one OEM for another. But an iOS user has nowhere to go but to buy another iPhone.

Did you actually watch the video?
The only thing being shown is the Pixel having slower/longer animation, and one thing he mentioned is that the 4GB of RAM on the Pixel makes it reloads apps more often vs the 8GB RAM on the OnePlus 6 (which is obvious). He didn't show any actual extreme lagginess other than some twitter comments.
I stand to my previous statement. The OnePlus 6 obviously wins out for now thanks to its more updated SoC and double the RAM. It is already shown many times that the sweet spot for Android is at least 6GB of RAM. Anything less, you end up having to reload apps, creating the illusion of "lag" or slowness.

The EU commission doesn’t agree with you.

He clearly says multiple times, his Pixel has gotten slower than it previously was.
