Samsung just massively caved in to the Russian government

Posted: 30 Mar 2021 04:54 PM PDT

While on the surface this may only seem relevant to Russian users, I believe it has strong implications for anyone living under authoritarian rule, which is a pretty large percentage of the global population these days. On April 1, a new law takes effect in Russia, forcing device manufacturers to pre-install a number of government-approved Russian apps on every device sold. The latest Samsung firmware update comes with these unremovable apps (link in Russian). This is highly concerning for a few reasons.

The law specifies that the apps are to be installed on all devices sold after April 1 2021, so existing devices are technically exempt
Samsung began forcing these apps before the law even takes effect
For me, the most damning point - Apple has recently reached an agreement with the Russian government, also caving in to their demands. But, in the iPhone's case, the user is prompted to install these apps during setup. You can opt out and not install them at all, or delete them after the fact. And it only concerns new devices, not existing ones. Samsung is effectively forcing all existing users to install them without any choice, even though they didn't technically have to do this

As a Samsung user, to say that I'm disappointed is saying nothing. I use Android primarily for its customizability and the level of control it gives me. The fact that even Apple's implementation is much less intrusive is honestly infuriating.

If Samsung is so trigger-happy to not only appease dictatorships, but go above and beyond, it can be a real security concern for millions of people. As such, my S10 will be my last Samsung device, and I'd strongly advise anyone living in similar conditions to consider switching too.

What's the point of having both Dialer and Contacts apps?

Posted: 30 Mar 2021 06:19 AM PDT

I find myself never using the contacts app, since I can do everything quicker through the dialer. So I'm wondering if there's any scenario or target user for having two seemingly redundant apps.
