Because I missed the pure Android experience so much and I love Google Pixel devices as well😁 
I deleted all Samsung apps and disable Samsung apps and services, I'm using all Google apps and services 
I ditch Samsung Cloud and Samsung Pass for Google Password Manager 
I recently bought the Google Pixel Buds Series A 2nd Gen up to 4.5 hours of battery life😮😍 

I'm looking for the smoothest experience and cross platform experience! 
The Google Keyboard is my daily I stopped using the unreliable Samsung Keyboard 

All the apps and services that comes in a Pixel devices is installed on my Samsung tablet 
Including Sound Amplifier, Google Files, Google Lens & the most important is Android System SafetyCore

Like Gboard
Clock
Gmail
Meet
Maps
Chrome browser
Gallery 
Google Keep for notes 
Google Tasks for reminders
Google Docs, Sheets 
Translate 
Google Contact 
Google One 
Google Earth
Google Gemini 
And tons more.. from Google

"pure android", kinda defeats the point of having a Samsung device.. 

Samsung's One UI skin is why people get Samsung devices, along with the mostly superior hardware..

Yeah most of Google's apps are more fully developed than Samsung's, but.. I think that you're missing the point with this post.

Hi Anderson199214,

Thanks for sharing. It’s great to see how dedicated you are to crafting a smooth, Pixel-like experience across your devices.

Going all-in with Google apps and services really shows your preference for that clean, stock Android feel, and it's awesome that you've adapted it so fully on your Samsung tablet.

While Samsung devices are known for their unique One UI features, it’s the flexibility of Android that makes it possible to shape your experience exactly how you want it and your setup is a perfect example of that.

Tried Pixel from my friend, he was asking me to change some settings for him. I think now I know what is "Pure Android". Just Google apps and nothing. Pixel doesn't come with a music player or routine (automation). Basically it is just an OS with Google apps, like Gmail, Google Photos, Google Calendar...etc.

But Samsung base on "Pure Android" adding more useful app and features, music player, routine, smartthings, samsung health, samsung notes, Calendar can write on screen...etc. I prefer Samsung One UI.

With Pixel you have advanced features like pixel drops few times per months and longer support + you have frequent updates faster when Google drops it

Google Pixel watches are another great experience
