    I have yet to purchase a Samsung mobile phone and I will do my best to keep it that way.

      I made the mistake one time. Idk why people speak so highly of them. What is wrong with them?

      It got forced updates at Random hours of the day with no even pretend consent of “Not right now. I’m literally on a phone call”. All the update was to install Candy crush or Facebook. Again

      I literally lost out on a job because it shut off to update while I was on a phone interview. Called back and the guy was rude af.

        Did you get the phone from a carrier? I’ve had 2 Samsung’s both bought unlocked from samsung and those come with no bloatware and for years I never had anything like that happen. My wife has an S23 from TMobile and has lots of unremovable apps and bloat.

          I’ve heard that, and I did, but I’ve a google now from a carrier, and I do not have this issue on my google device. Not one update to put crap on it so far. Fingers crossed

          It can’t just be a carrier issue.
