I remember back in the day my Samsung Galaxy S5 had bloatware. Can’t imagine how bad it is now.
Fricken Bixby bullshit.
You can turn of most of everything.
Besides the bloat you can’t
I have more carrier bloat than Samsung. If I really wanted to I could root. More bloat on iPhones and you can’t root shit easily.
In fairness you can uninstall pretty much all of the stock apps on an iPhone.
Last I checked you can’t uninstall Samsung Browser or the included Facebook app without root.
My newest Samsung didn’t have Facebook and it was Google that asked what apps I wanted to have on initialization. You can uninstall Facebook if you downloaded fro the galaxy store. You can uninstall almost all the Samsung apps and can disable/hide the others.
Can you uninstall safari from iPhone? The answer is no. Can you uninstall siri? No, you can disable it just as you can with Bixby The “bloat” people talk about are present on both ecosystems.
Root is heaven
You lose knox. It’s stupid to root on Samsung when you can officially do it in a pixel for 30% less price lol
If you have a pixel and don’t use GrapheneOS you’re doing it wrong
You can use apps like canta to uninstall them anyway
It’s much better than it was
I just want a refreshed nexus 6. I love me some chonky bezels to hold onto and front facing speakers so I don’t have to cup the bottom like I have arthritis.
I really dig my Nexus 5x
It was so nice, my only complaint really was swapping the battery out of the old one went to hell
