  The phones are absolutely not the same, you just have a shitty carrier that installed extra stuff on your phone

    I bought my Samsung phone directly from Samsung and my carrier is a BYOB Mobile Virtual Network Operator. Before I ever connected my new phone to the carrier network it was riddled with bloatware that I can’t uninstall. Yes carriers are guilty of installing crap, but Samsung is just as guilty.

    I’ve bought several Samsung phones over the years and this is the second factory direct phone I’ve received that was like this, they didn’t used to do this crap. Since this seems to be the norm now this will probably be the last Samsung I buy and when it’s time to replace I’ll just get a pixel and flash grapheneos on it, been curious about trying that anyway.

    I had a Samsung phone (A20E) which was by some margin the most terrible piece of technology I’ve ever used. Barely functional a couple weeks from buying. This is anecdotal, of course, but since those are mass-produced and supposedly identical from unit to unit…

    Samsung is not a carrier.

        …what? Samsung is the one installing bloatware. The carrier may add their own but you can avoid that by simply not buying those locked models. You can’t avoid the Samsung bloatware.
