New Rule: non-apple, non-Google, non-Samsung
Never have I seen so much fucking bloatware in my life. None of it uninstallable.
Not one-time while owning a Samsung did I ever feel I actually owned the device I paid $800 for.
New "urgent" update in the middle of video job interview at 11 AM? To install Candy Crush? Are you kidding me? Oh wait - you also removed all of my default apps like SMS, and my browser because..??? Who would ever want that?
