"Samsung phones are well known for One UI, one of the most functional and intuitive Android interfaces. While it's highly customizable, these phones often come with preinstalled bloatware. Some built-in Samsung apps, such as Wearable and Wallet, are useful within the Samsung ecosystem. However, there are at least five first-party apps that even dedicated Samsung users rarely touch. The preinstalled bloatware apps can vary by device, price, and lineup, but many are common across all Galaxy phones. While you might not be able to uninstall all of them, they're easy to disable and can be re-enabled if you ever need them."
"Samsung's Global Goals app promotes sustainability. Users can earn money through the app by watching ads or donating to the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). "Samsung Global Goals is a worldwide effort to improve our planet and daily lives by 2030," says the company. It is a noble idea, but I don't think every Samsung user wants to donate through an app, and not everyone wants it on their devices."
"Samsung Free offers a way to watch movies, TV shows, live TV, latest news, and more for free. If that sounds similar to Samsung TV Plus, it is. In fact, this app has a button for Watch on TV Plus, which takes you to another app to watch the same stuff. In addition to TV Plus capabilities, you get two additional tabs called Read and Play, which let you read the latest news articles and play games."
One UI is a highly customizable Android interface, but many Samsung phones include preinstalled apps that function as bloatware for some users. Built-in apps like Wearable and Wallet provide useful features within the Samsung ecosystem, yet at least five first-party apps are rarely used by dedicated Samsung owners. Preinstalled apps vary by device and lineup, but many are common across Galaxy phones. Not all preinstalled apps can be uninstalled, but most can be disabled and re-enabled later. Disabling or removing unused Samsung apps can free memory and reduce background battery drain. Examples include Global Goals and Samsung Free, which offer sustainability donations and aggregated media content respectively, but may duplicate existing services or not match every user's needs.
