The bundled crapware is the reason I switched from Samsung to OnePlus. I've actually gone one step further and run LineageOS now. I've been an Android user sin

  Same here, I never bought Samsung because of their pre-installed software. I switched to Google phones starting with Nexus 4, which at least has pre-installed apps I generally like and use.

  The reason you can't uninstall the crap is that you aren't by default root. The same "root" problem exists on the iphone.

  > The bundled crapware is the reason I switched from Samsung to OnePlus. I'm not sure I trust them either, unless this apparent backdoor situation has since been resolved? I'd rather stick to Nokia or Motorola. https://www.wired.com/story/oneplus-phones-have-an-unfortunate-backdoor-built-in/ https://www.wired.com/story/oneplus-phones-have-an-unfortuna...

    Fortunately the backdoor requires physical access to the device, so it's not what worries me. I was more concerned about their data collection, but it looks like they changed to opt-in since: https://www.tomsguide.com/us/oneplus-data-leak-fix,news-25968.html https://www.tomsguide.com/us/oneplus-data-leak-fix,news-2596... I'm not sure how much I can trust them after that, though. They had a real chance to make a difference and they blew it.
