    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

      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

        I don’t use Samsung unless I plan to unlock and root the device. I have 70+ apps disabled on my Samsung tablet and it’s finally usable. Hopefully someone else comes along with a high spec OLED tablet sometime soon so I can stop buying Galaxy Tab S devices.

        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.

      As opposed to Samsung and Apple? Right…
