I tried the Mi 8 Lite, honestly I'm not impressed. It's super cheap, which is really cool, but the OS it comes with is riddled with bloatware... Not sure it's worth it

I returned my last Samsung because it was riddled with bloatwear that could not be disabled or uninstalled

Facebook was one such app, if I disabled it, it would re-enable itself on reboots

And it wasn't even a cheap phone

when I got my S24+, it had Facebook, Spotify, Netflix, LinkedIn, Office 365, and OneDrive. I was able to uninstall all of them except OneDrive. I disabled OneDrive.

Good to know you can now uninstall them. I think my son has a Samsung now, I can check with him.

Depends on whether it comes from Samsung or via a phone company.

Either way, Universal Debloat Utility is your friend.
