Sony: Just say no
"The Xperia Z3 / Z3 Compact seem to be the more relevant devices to compare this to than the iPhone."
Except that should you decide to "root" your phone to remove the bloatware (or be audacious enough to install a 3rd party rom), you will find your camera resolution and sensitivity has been utterly trashed and the reason given is "DRM"
DRM was supposed to prevent unauthorised copying, not interfere with making original works!
Having said that, the Exynos CPUs need to either die horribly or be properly documented. It's because of lack of documentation that that all the custom rom makers are dropping support for older Samsung devices.
(A lot of Samsung stuff can only be handled via proprietary binary blobs. I found hooks in Samsung's GPS modules for Carrier IQ. Who knows what else is in there)
Biting the hand that feeds IT
