Samsung Apps vs. Google Apps: What’s your setup and what features keep you from switching?

Hey everyone!

I’m curious about your setup: **Which versions do you use, and what specific feature is an absolute dealbreaker if you try to switch?**

**Here is my current setup and the main features keeping me on these specific apps. If you use the alternatives, are there any killer features I’m missing out on that might change my mind?**

* **Browser: Samsung Internet**
* Native ad-blocker support, forced dark mode on all sites, background video playback, and a highly customizable bottom toolbar.
* **Notes: Google Keep**
* Lightweight, clean, and quick cross-platform access via any browser or device.
* **Gallery / Cloud: Samsung Gallery**
* Powerful on-device AI editing, fast local folder management, and smooth system integration.
* **Phone & Messages: Samsung Phone/Messages**
* Built-in SPAM protection, unwanted call filtering, and the ability to block calls from numbers outside my contact list.

**Where do you stand? Do you go 100% Samsung, 100% Google, or a mix of both? What single feature forces you to pick one over the other?**

I’d also love to hear your thoughts on the rest of the matchups:

* **Calendar:** Samsung Calendar vs. Google Calendar
* **Files:** My Files vs. Files by Google
* **Wallet:** Samsung Wallet vs. Google Wallet
* **Health:** Samsung Health vs. Health Connect
* **Smart Home:** SmartThings vs. Google Home
* **Find:** Samsung Find vs. Google Find My Device
* **Voice Recorder:** Samsung Voice Recorder vs. Google Recorder
* **Assistant:** Bixby vs. Gemini
* **Weather:** Samsung Weather vs. Google Weather
