This could work as a great second phone. If not maybe a Samsung or Motorola. My opinion on this though

    Carol, 04 Jul 2023Most probably, one can still uninstall them via adb.If that's possible, it's great.
    I don't think it's possible now unlike what Samsung used to do with TouchWiz

      dartjan, 05 Jul 2023Remap the Bixby-key , :)I don't want it to open anything, it's in the way all the time, even though I rarely use that phone.

Somebody in my family was gifted a Samsung A45 or something like that. I could uninstall a part of bixby crappware, but when i tried to delete everything, the menu started to be unstable and the whole device was suddently full of warnings and some apps did not open, yatta yatta yatta. So it forced me to install those perticular services to get it to work again, sadly i do not know what that was anymore, but was a part of bixby spyware group😑

                          Oh yeah, Bixby. I have it disabled on my S8, but whenever I accidentally press the Bixby button it yells at me and tells me that Bixby is disabled and I have to activate it to use it. There is only a small problem with that, I DON'T WANT TO USE IT.

                              justasmile, 04 Jul 2023Nonsense! That always can be removed once you started your phone.Not everything can be removed and even after you remove the apps that you can remove, the OS will still stay heavy, it's not just about the apps.

                              For example the Galaxy Store and 3 Microsoft Apps can not be removed from my Galaxy S8, but correct me please if you can remove them from newer Samsung phones. And by remove I mean completely delete, not just blocking the app or turning it off.

Bixby and other samsung crap, you just can't. If you clear bixby you're in for the trouble and even if let's say you don't care about the trouble, tgere still is the Interface.... is just no comparison, but yeah, android 12-13 are a bit of RAM hungry. Still tough on x30 8GB RAM uses 4GB after 2 weeks of no shutdown, sometimes gets less. For a device with enough RAM to keep all android services opened, i'd say is great. But then again, i do not know how many people understand how RAM works and why the same stystem can still be stable on 4GB RAM devices as well as on 8 GB RAM devices. There is a trick, but i'm not going to get into the terms and why, and bla bla. If you're interested you could search for it tough. And maybe you also find out why samsung is bad at ram management😊.

                                      Hence while using that device you are facing RAM related problem.

                                      I'm also using a samsung device but with 6 GB RAM out of that 3 GB is free RAM for user.
                                      I bought that on 2020 and using it without any problem.
                                      I buy things kind of thinking how long will i use, hence before buying anything i do a little research online mostly.
                                      Because local shops always tries more advanced strategies to manipulate the customer while buying a new phone.
