It is a half baked review, IMO. The author says that despite having 45 W charging, the phone takes 75 mins to charge. Samsung really slows down it's charging speeds post 80%, so testing from 0 to 100 is not a good criterion at all.

Plus, he forgets to mention that Samsung skips on a microSD card for A56 which was present on A55. Though in Samsung's favor, they are offering 6 OS upgrades and I doubt any other OEM except Google matches it.

The bloat! It used to be apps but now it is baked in with knox, samsung services, ugh

I have been thinking about getting a S24 Ultra purrly for its AI less flagship position with stylus but I cannot pull the trigger on a samsung device.

How about a Sony Xperia phone?

My SO has had several and really liked them until they broke or got lost (the phones' quality really aren't to blame here). I've offered the Sony Xperia 10 VI to my dad last Christmas and it doesn't come with much bloat at all, I would call it good.

But if you want a completely bloat-free phone, you can't beat Google Pixel flashed with GrapheneOS.
