I am Trapped in a Bloatware Maze by the Phone Brands! /u/Ok-Extent3274 Android

Lately, it feels like every phone I buy comes pre-loaded with a ton of bloatware, random apps that I’ll never use, and worst of all, I can’t even uninstall some of them. It’s super frustrating because I’m spending my hard-earned money on a device, and instead of giving me control, these brands shove unnecessary apps down my throat.​

They are selling ad space on “our” phones without even asking us! ​

I’ve heard there are some brands with a clean UI and no bloatware, but I don’t know if they’re legit or just marketing.​

What do you guys think? Are you okay with this trend? And if not, do you know of any brands that actually respect their users’ freedom?
