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 off 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.
This is a disingenuous argument as you can’t remove Android WebView either, without it core OS features stop working - same as Safari - which is outlined in the article you linked.
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
My Samsung cost waaay less at the time for the features I wanted. I would’ve loved a Pixel, and still would, but I couldn’t afford it at the time.
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
Ar camera, Ar emoji, My Galaxy, Samsung Shop, Samsung browser, linkedin, facebook, bixby camera only to name a few
It’s much better than it was

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
