...what? Samsung is the one installing bloatware. The carrier may add their own but you can avoid that by simply not buying those locked models. You can't avoid the Samsung bloatware.

I dunno, dawg. I've been buying unlocked Samsung phones for like 10 years and I'm not sure what kind of bloatware or ads you're talking about

[–] Ulrich@feddit.org 0 points 5 days ago (1 children)

So you have zero Samsung apps on any Samsung phones you've ever purchased? Lies.

[–] hoch@lemmy.world -4 points 5 days ago (2 children)

What, are you talking about the calculator, camera, and note apps that come installed on the phone? That's not bloatware, that's like basic functionality 😂

You're gonna sit there and tell me that none of this is on your phone?

It doesn't matter if they're "basic" or not. The point is I don't want them, they're not necessary, I cannot remove them, and I don't find it acceptable that someone else gets to charge me hundreds of dollars and then turn around and control what software is allowed to be on my phone. If you're fine with having bloatware on your phone, that's fine, you can just say that. It's ok.

I think they mean Bixby and OneUI and similar, but I have been using Google phones for a while so I could be very out of touch
