Easiest is probably with a DNS firewall to block all Samsung traffic. I recommend NextDNS.
Next level would be using ADB to uninstall tipycally uninstallable-apps.
Final level would be replacing your stock Android with something like LineageOS or eOS. I have no experience with either of those, other than installing eOS to a friend, but I use GrapheneOS and it’s such a joy, I can’t imagine using any other Android ever.
My previous cellphone was a Samsung with stock Android and the difference with GrapheneOS is insane. I’m talking going Windows-to-Linux-levels of using software that isn’t constantly spitting on your face kind of insane.
I’ve done the first two steps with my old S10 as well. It’s not bad for an older device and I still get all if the features phones used to have like a headphone jack and SD card slot.
The s20 is still a good little phone with great battery life. I’d like to turn it into a fun lineageos device for gaming or to use for Bluetooth or something.

I’m actually a graphene user as well 🙌
I love it.

here’s hoping that it’s not on Verizon.
