Thanks for the tipps! I love how on lemmy privacy is a big concern. Seems I'll have to spend some time getting to know the tools mentioned.
Given that I'm not at all interested in creating a Samsung account and use any of their cloud services what are the the additional featues I would get?
You don't need a Samsung account at all to use any of the addition features.
Some of the useful features off the top of my head:
Long-press power button for torch (customisable)
Edge panel, which allows quick launching of apps and shortcuts
Ability to directly record the screen, or a portion of a screen, as a GIF
Video out over USB-C, and DeX mode which provides a desktop-like experience (although I believe Google will be finally introducing video out with Pixel 8)
Various multitasking enhancements such as: open any app in a popup window, change its transparency levels, enable no-pause multitasking so your split-window/popup apps continue running even if they're not in focus.
Depends, the ultra has the spen. Modes and routines are also pretty neat.. most of the stuff comes with samsung can be used without a samsung account. Sadly, secure folders need a samsung account.
