I believe Samsung cancelled ads last year. Source: https://www.engadget.com/samsung-removes-ads-pay-health-weat...

My neighbor has a Galaxy S21 Ultra. It had ads last week.

Out of all sucky Android devices and due to my work I probably touched at least 3/4 of models sold via non-grey market channel in the US the only phones that are functional are Pixels, which sucks.

My wife has an iPhone 12. Pixel 6 today is either in the same class or beats it. Of course it is highly unlikely that it will beat it in 2024 given Google track record of refusing to reiterate.
