            The preinstallation of Oath's apps is limited to the US market for now, but the same thing will "eventually" happen globally.

              Samsung must have patent all bloatware?

                    i don't know, lat time I tried an app from Yahoo it was downloading all sorts of unneeded crap besides what it was supposed to download. And good luck blocking ads in an app.

                          If they are going to do the same thing as Xiaomi, they should keep a check on their prices.

                            Just buy unlocked version. So simple. Even without bloatware it will lag. It is Samsung.

                              More lags please Samsung. :)

                              Tell your friends & families not to buy Samsung phones.
                              Tell them whatever is required to steer them clear of Samsung phones, even lies. :P
                              As a free techs consultant to my families, it falls upon me to steer them clear of bloats.

                                    There's a reason I have a custom Mod installed on my Samsung.

                                      When I bought my Sammy with Lollipop it did not have any Facebook apps and then Samsung entered into a deal with Facebook. Nougat came and I did the upgrade and guess what? Facebook app was there and there is no way to remove it. Not to forget the tons of Microsoft apps that cannot be removed.
