Spoiler: Xiaomi is #1 now.

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

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.

Good to know you can now uninstall them. I think my son has a Samsung now, I can check with him.

Depends on whether it comes from Samsung or via a phone company.

Either way, Universal Debloat Utility is your friend.

Canta is a very good tool for that

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.

Well until they letting to unlock bootloader,it's nice cheap phones when u install custom os

That's a 6 year old phone, and they've cleaned that up a lot since, at least for western markets.
The new HyperOS although it functionally looks the same, feels way better.
Apart from the glass back, the 13T is an amazing phone IMO.
