Yes. Samsung and others will be more easier than the HTC.
But in my case I never used or had Samsung phones which is why, in my experience, HTC was easier and better.
My fault to fail to mention that.

The only other phones I had pretty much brick itself once it sees any partition tampered with. Phones were LG and Alcatel.
