You can remove bloat without root using adb.

As others have said, that is not convenient for most, 95% of people just frown and put up with it.

I like everything Samsung make's including they're phones but a 400£uk pixel 4 is pretty much right from the start for a non phone gaming ,not that into phones person like me.

It's got Less bloat from the off, that's easier to remove anyway, it doesn't force update software you didn't want anyway, it's cheaper and at a pinch I would throw a pixel at an attackers head, I couldn't do that to a expensive Samsung now can I.

I don't mind any phone but Apple. Good hardware but fecking itunes just shitty, and if you are going to put bluetooth on it at least make it compatible with everything with bluetooth, same with NFC.

I really like Samsung phones, not really too fussed about bloat when you have 128gb+ of storage+a SD slot, who cares if it has 3 or 4gb of cack apps on it, just don't use them. If you have a 16gb phone like some Apple ones that use 5gb of the storage for the OS instead of putting it in separate memory so it does not use up the paltry 16gb, then complain about bloat.

Reminds me of a recent headline: Welcome To The Future, Where Your Microwave Thinks It’s A Steam Oven

Would certainly stay away from "smart" appliances with close to zero real world benefits, but the risk of hackers turing them into bricks.
In a few years they could turn it even into a real world Maximum Overdrive, with the "smart cars" around the corner. :laugh:

Me & mine currently own the following fairly recent (5 yrs or less) Sammy products:

1. 5x Monitors: 27", 32' x 2 , 43" x2 (the 27" is 6 years+ old !)
2. 4x TV's: 40" x 2, 55" & 78" (the 40" is 4 years old)
3. m.2 drives x 6
4. External USB drives x 3
5. Phones x 3 (2x S21+, 1x Note 10+)
5. Refrigerator
6. Freezer
7. Washer & Dryer set
8. Microwaves x2
9. Gas stove
10. Dishwasher

No real problems with any of them over the years, and most were purchased during Black Friday deals, so the prices were decent, and only 1 of the external drives had to be exchanged for a new one, with zero issues afterwards !

I know some people like their stuff, others hate them, and some are indifferent, but you can probably say that about almost any consumer product, especially electronics/pc stuff. And I know that sometimes bad batches of some products do slip out of the factories, so there's that, but as before, that can be said about almost any consumer product too

I am certainly not saying they are the best, or worst, products out there, but I guess I have just had good luck with their stuff !

And yes, I do own other items that are NOT made by Sammy too... ie printers, scanners, digicams, smart thermostats, power tools, laptops, etc etc....

I remember my old Galaxy S4 trying to install/updating a Polish newspaper app everytime I used internet.
I do not live in Poland and can't read Polish...

I had the exact same thing with a Galaxy S3 i bought off ebay. The reason it does that is because the handset was originally designated for the Polish market. A lot of folks import handsets from places like Asia because they are cheaper then sell them for a profit on ebay.

Got around this by loading on a custom rom.

With phones being so cheap these days, You dont really need to spend big bucks for a decent handset -- Im mainly talking about brands like Xiaomi & her subsidiaries but even Motorola offers good phones for around the same money.

My dad used to buy new phones from Hong Kong every few years when he went back because at the time it worked out a lot lot cheaper. But the currency exchange rate is absolute dog poo and with inflation thrown into the mix, phones actually work out at either the same price or even more expensive over there so theres no point. Used to be pretty big business over there and most shops will have both Asian & Global handsets for sale.
