I tried the Mi 8 Lite, honestly I’m not impressed. It’s super cheap, which is really cool, but the OS it comes with is riddled with bloatware… Not sure it’s worth it
when I got my S24+, it had Facebook, Spotify, Netflix, LinkedIn, Office 365, and OneDrive. I was able to uninstall all of them except OneDrive. I disabled OneDrive.
That’s a 6 year old phone, and they’ve cleaned that up a lot since, at least for western markets.
The new HyperOS although it functionally looks the same, feels way better.
Apart from the glass back, the 13T is an amazing phone IMO.

As opposed to Samsung and Apple? Right…
Samsung from a phone vendor like Verizon is bloated, but not one from Samsung (well, except the Samsung crap like Bixby).
I’d say Samsung is comparable, but Apple… Isn’t the goal of buying an iPhone to have a closed environment? (or was)
I returned my last Samsung because it was riddled with bloatwear that could not be disabled or uninstalled
Facebook was one such app, if I disabled it, it would re-enable itself on reboots
And it wasn’t even a cheap phone
Canta is a very good tool for that

Good to know you can now uninstall them. I think my son has a Samsung now, I can check with him.
Depends on whether it comes from Samsung or via a phone company.
Either way, Universal Debloat Utility is your friend.
