I've been considering getting a Samsung phone when I eventually replace my Pixel 6 Pro.
I would've been happy to stay in the Google ecosystem forever, but they keep enshittifying faster and faster. I'm just about at the tipping point.
However, I often use the Live View feature in Google Maps when I'm walking to new places. I would miss it if I didn't have access to it any more. And it seems like most of my non-Pixel-having friends either don't have access to Live View, or don't know about it.
If you use a Samsung phone, can you tell me if Google Maps Live View is available to you??
I don't trust the documentation & also wouldn't trust most salespeople's answer to this question.

It's an augmented reality option that lets you point your camera at the things around you so that Google can work out where you are. Then it draws directional arrows on the live view to help you get where you're going.
(Can't take a screenshot of the directional arrows feature right now cos I'm at the cinema waiting for Furiosa to start)
