    I have only ever tried that and (the also Android based) MIUI on Xiaomi phones, but the latter is just as much of a cancer as Samsung ones, in terms of bloatware.

    You can’t even uninstall some of those, like the Emoji keyboard, for example. You can use something else but you can’t remove it (without rooting your phone, at least). So then you get this notification about the update for the Emoji keyboard. Then you don’t tap it, because you don’t want to install it. So you swipe the notification away.

    Then, a day later you wake up to the notification that it has been installed successfully. Without even asking you. So yeah, I’m not saying Samsung is the only one. But try a Pixel phone. Or so they say.
