Bloatware Apps 🗑️ Situation - 16 Brands, 26 Android Phones Tested | The Good, Bad & Ugly! 

Regarding Samsung, it's very different experience between their high end and budget phones. I recently installed security update for Galaxy M30 and it installed 3 crapware apps in a security update. Thats just ridiculous

Much needed video, as software experience is much underrated. Plus security mostly comes hand in hand with less bloatware.

Really appreciating these kind of videos from you Ershad. Keep up the work!!

It just make me nuts when i can't uninstall 'security' app in Xiaomi phone & it by default takes all the permission. I can't deny the permissions too. This is straight up crime..

Wow great video. Lots of work and research has gone. Very helpful. Thanks a ton irshad. Keep tracking , stay safe and keep doing the good. With Gratitude Raviraj

*I tried to shift from Samsung but I quickly realised my blunder.* 1) Oneplus has fallen the ranks after merger. 2) Xiaomi, Realme Oppo.... let's not even talk. 3) Asus, Moto, Nokia are great but lack software/Android updates. 4) Pixel Experience is the best but Samsung has topped it with more stable and bug-free experience lately. I would still get it but Google kinda skips India. One UI is actually the most secure alongside Pixel's. It's also feature packed, provides fast updates and even more Android updates than Pixel's now. *Just set-up your Samsung carefully and disable My Galaxy for a great experience.* I just tried out Samsung Browser and was blown away by it. Samsung Pass, Samsung Pay, Goodlock, Secure Folder etc are also dope. I find Samsung's stock apps to be extremely well built unlike Chinese Oems. Samsung's Knox makes sure that your privacy, be it data, network etc is protected and that's actually important these days. Cheers.

Very good testing! We love these types of videos Ershad. 🤩

This is quality content...keep up the good work... Hardwork always pays off 👍🏻

These analysis videos are much needed on RU-vid. Thanks Ershad.

These types of videos are very very goood man! Keep rocking ❤️❤️

The app that you can’t uninstall is the big headache it should be told

Quality content bro. Appreciate videos like this 😍

A quick suggestion that a tier list in this kind of video would make it more engaging to watch.

Awesome video. I would suggest that next time you add how much space they take up. For example, if I buy a phone with 128gb how much am I actually getting with all these apps installed?

Thanks a Lot Ershad bhai... Loved this video 😊😊🤗🤗

thanks for making this video, and put so much effort ershad Bhai.

Priceless video.......... Excellent work....

Extensive research ershad bro and trakin tech team... Love your informative videos these are one of a kind ❤️ apart from just regular product reviews and sponsored content, we got to see on RU-vid.

Quality my man , kudos !

It was a really awesome one.... You should continue to expose all phone companies

Just love to see this type of videos

after using just 1 xiaomi phone and looking at many other models, i am now using motorola, samsung and iphone only. thanks for the update.

great vid, much needed

Appreciate the wonderful efforts made.👍👍👍

Wonderful video!

Really appreciate the efforts you put into these kind of videos 🙌

Hey Ershad, can you please increase the lighting a bit, looks dull brother. By the way, huge fan. Keep going.

Love this kind of videos😍

Appreciate the effort.. respect!!

Very useful information thanks for info 💯💯keep trakin 💯💯

Great feature video..more please.. Also please do a video about how much the default storage configuration should be on phones in 2022, like, is 4/64GB ideal or is 3/32GB even enough for a new phone launched with android 11 plus how much bloatware eats into the phones storage Also, do a video about, is Android GO still relevant in 2022

Appreciate your efforts and loved this video... ❤

Also for midrange smartphone of Samsung get's third party apps via software update........ This happens with our Samsung A51...

Good one. Thanks.

Great 🤩 work and video 😄

Now please Do a Comparison Of All UI's or OS of all Brands Loved this Video ❤️

Superb ⚡⚡

Oh Brands like Micromax & Lava still Exist? That's additional information which I don't think you are aware off while making this Video😉 Anyways Good & Informative Video. You were especially bang on point when it comes to Samsung Phones. One should be really careful during setup to avoid the installation of Unwanted and Spammy apps. Also, it's better not to sign in to Samsung Account to ensure that you won't have to face unwanted ads and suggestions from Samsung.

thanks for this

I would like to see android skin ranking with the most stable & well polished, less buggy and long software support since people usually use phones for a long time. Btw, this video is useful as I want to find phones for my parents.

Nice one. Perception of bloatware is one thing, this is an objective measure of which company does what with their phones. Personally the only thing holding me back from buying a gt 2 pro is the UI and bloat issues. I want the pixel experience, but without the bugs and the battery life issues and not-for-sale-in-india issues. Sigh. Still waiting for my ideal flagship to drop, one year into the wait. S22 plus maybe, once the price rationalizes a bit..

The clean install had the same apps as the normal install. You just added apps like messages, game launcher etc in the folder to make it look like it had more apps.

mind blowing r&d ❤

It just takes 2mins to remove all unwanted system apps from MIUI by using Mi bloater tool. Beebom already posted a video about this

You are doing a great job, kudos to the trakin tech team !! If you ask me for suggestions i would really like to understand the different types of amoled panels all smart phone brands are using & how it is so different from each other. Also about the camera lens used when not from samsung or Sony, is it really functional or just a gimmick 😅

great video

Wonderful 👍🙏🔥🎉❤️

Make a comparison video of all 2+2 sensors out there😜

After watching this video, I'm patting my back for going after Pixel 4a while I could. That was the best decision in my smartphone buying history. Ershad just proved me right 😇😇😇

Good job 👏

Thanks Ershad! Supreme level of information you've given. Thanks a lot. Now I'm clear, I would buy a Samsung phone. 🙌👌

Man, U r really a charm..

Good job

4:20 I have Nokia 2.2 & Micromax in note 1 (Stock UI) ❤❤

I'm a bit surprised apple wasn't in the list as apple's iPhones have way too many 1st party apps which most users won't even use. But a helpful video none the less!

I don't get it why do people buy such phones that is packed with bloatware and junkware. 🙄

could have made a video helping in uninstalling these unwanted apps using adb tools.

Can we also have a monthly OS update tracker check promised by companies?

Very nice

Why wasn’t a re tech episode uploaded last week

Please make video for buying chargers from 18w to 80w bcz companies are removing charger in the box even in budget range phones

Very fluent English sir ☺️

Ershad sir , please make a video on unneccesery browsers..... ! It's notifications are so annoying..... Chrome is enough for us..

Pushing in Bloatware apps in updates is OKAY now at least in 2022, in midrange segment. Not Tolerable in Flagships though. I just have to say one should be able to uninstall them ALL.

Tech brands ki "pol-patti" kholne wale videos... Nice work.

You could have also told a one liner on iphone , about it's pre-installed apps.

Ah feels sad I got a phone with an ugly situation except not that ugly for me, I deleted apps which where removable. Still there are useless apps.

but in my samsung m01s whenever i turn on wi-fi it automatically downloads moj and josh apps

Samsung flagship phones and budget/mid-range phones have very different approaches to bloatware. While setting the phone up, if you are careful, you can get away with a reasonably clean install but with every software update and every time the Samsung store is opened, the company desperately tries to force bloatware on you if you are using an M series or F series phone. For their flagship series, you can rest easier.

4:22 you should include vivo funtouch os

Why Samsung is there (side of bloatware free) in your thumbnail 🤔🤔

My phone have only 13 system apps and 0 bloatware because I'm using custom ROM on my primary device since last 3 months. Now I would say, i am never going back to miui of my phone.

I used to hide the apps i don't even opened till now on my realme x device

I wound not care if there are bloatware because I can easily uninstall/disable using adb commands or ADB softwares which are easily available in XDA. What matters is there's a stable software and provided good updates. Or sometimes I just go with great hardware for the money with snapdragon processor as I can install custom rom later on after updates are ended.

Awesome

Brother OnePlus 2 nd files application is useful when we need to find obb data from Android we can't find in file explorer not even in Google files thats why i use that app i don't think any issue with it

U should try mentioning iphone has how many pre installed apps and how many of their own apps u can uninstall. To those who doesn’t know will be very surprised

You forgot about glance lockscreen in realme and Xiaomi.

Mi credit can be removed from Settings or if placed on home screen outside folder but Mi Pay can't be uninstalled.

Regarding Samsung, its really true that we need to be careful while setting up the device Although all 3rd party apps can be uninstalled, but this should be stopped Samsung has a very clean experience buy we need to be careful One ui is great🔥

See I didn't personally found any 3rd party apps on my Dad's realme XT, but yes there are alot of 1st party apps some of which we can't even uninstall Also u should have said about if we can uninstall unessential 1st party apps in detail with at least major brands

If moto improves their software updates they can be the alternative for pixel in India

Should've even added apple for comparision

Watching this from my annoying poco with disruptive bloatware 😭

There should be an option given to the users like pay 2k more and get rid of bloatware or like these apps can be uninstalled after 6 months or so.

ADB is the best option to slove the blotware issue.

Hmmmm Ershad voice is too low compared to Hindi channel I just came from k40s video no change in volume n found it low.

The security app in xiaomi is integral part of the os itself no wonder it is not uninstallable.

Hlo bro i saw your video after sending from 16 second

Comparison video of buds tabs phone lappys

Awesome video love from rajuking gangasagar ❤ ♥

Bro listen, your are going install some of the pre-installed app, instead brand already provides the application which required.

Suprised to see doing better job in bloatware than BBK has irshad mentioned xiaomi in bad and BBK in ugly except OnePlus but everyone says xiaomi has more bloatware but i don't think so,myself xiaomi user

With google we don't have freedom sir. I assume that you would correct your mistake and in xioami I can uninstall one drive easily security help is not crap I help to get some info on home screen

Quality is best but sound is low use better mic

Sir please review Motorola UI

U have to mention adds also

Yup, topics like pre installed apps and user experience are seldom considered by people buying smartphones. Love to see them cover by influencers to increase public awareness. 👍

#Askershad good video!

I always like STOCK UI !!!!
