- jeroenhd 3y agoI've never seen anything as aggressive as what the parent describes on either Samsung or Xiaomi. Xiaomi is the worst, selling top spec phones for dirt cheap by subsidizing them with ads, but even they never ruin your battery life by spamming ads all over the place. Plus, you can turn them off during setup, but most people just hit next to get the annoying setup screens to disappear it seems.
- pndy 3y agoI've bought used Samsung A50 few days ago as a spare phone. I had Windows Phones, iPhones previously but never got Android device for myself and I never saw anywhere (even in case of my mother's obscure low-end Android device) so many vendor apps being installed in such short time after enabling WiFi password. The default choices for settings were terrible. Some components aren't even configurable at all - lots of Samsung's apps and default Android stuff can send notifications, sit in background all the time or report location if its enabled.
