> Motorola [...] bloatware
What do you mean? I've had a couple Motorola phones from the G series (G1 and G4 and currently an AndroidOne) and AFAICT it's been pretty much stock Android apart from:
- an app for support enquiries (with diagnostic functionality for the screen, sensors etc.) which I've actually used before,
- one app you could opt-in to to get something like product newsletters from Motorola (I don't care for spam)
- and since the AndroidOne an app for audio EQ (which I don't really need/use).
All of these don't even use 80 MB of the internal storage (64 GB) so I don't really know where you get the "bloatware" from.
- ericlewis 5y agoIt’s bloat because those don’t need to be there.
- esperent 5y agoIt just seems strange for you to single out Motorola which is one of the companies with the least bloatware unstalled.
- Lev1a 5y agoThose apps stay out of your way if you don't wanna use them and they barely use 0.1% of the internal storage. I'd hardly call that bloat given the "Samsung Experience" I once had on one of those GalaxyNote 10.1 tablets. It was slow (basically everything in any app lagged), the OS was a non-upgradable Android 4.3 or 4.4 with heaps of Samsung BS constantly running and replacing standard apps (e.g. the browser). Also that tablet one day just would not charge anymore after ~1.5-2 years of fairly light use (reading, some video streaming, things like that).
