you couldn't remap the button without enabling the bixby shit to begin with. i know because i refused and therefore the button was useless unless i caved and signed up at least once to gain "access" to it. which is unacceptable imo. i paid for the device, locking a hardware feature behind a proprietary botnet account is mega gay.
it being 8 years old is irrelevant imo, that was the user experience at the time, and even if it might be different now on the s25 ultra i wouldn't know because that phone made me determined never to buy another samshit again. but i'm glad you mentioned that because it brings up another point related to the OP - inconsistency with android devices, even the same line of devices from the same manufacturer as mentioned with regards to samsung galaxy phones. the iOS experience i've checked in on occasionally (had the 3G, 4, X, and 12, despite the massive gap between the first and last ones i had, the user experience was pretty much the same give or take some modern features.
>You can't do that on an iPhone, why is this a comparison basis for Androids where Androids score lower then?
i'm sorry i can't quite understand what you're asking here, my bad. i mean true, you CAN'T do that on an iphone, whereas android phones (are able, but don't always by default) support custom OSes, i consider that not necessarily a bad thing for apple that they don't, from a "quality assurance" perspective it's a positive, all their devices are identical and locked down, ensuring a very deliberate experience. whether the experience is good or bad is a different argument but the fact they force the end user into a very specific experience with their devices could be a good thing for some users. the main takeaway there is that when discussing iOS devices you can ONLY be talking about iphone, whereas when we discuss "android phones" they are not all created equal. making the comparison difficult

the question is why should you?
